In its financial results, Panacea Biotec reported a loss of ₹15.8 crore. This was in contrast to the same period in the previous fiscal year when the company had declared a profit of ₹10.98 crore. Compared to the previous quarter, the revenue declined by 15.2%.

The company reported a decline in Selling, General & Administrative expenses by 2.42% quarter-over-quarter (q-o-q), but saw an increase of 4.25% year-over-year (Y-o-Y). This indicates some cost control measures on a short-term basis, but an overall increase in these expenses compared to last year.
