Strong start to FY27 with Q1’27 EBITDA at INR 635 Mn and PAT at INR 163 Mn; Highest in the
last eighteen quarters
Sandeep Rao
Managing Director & CEO
Q1 FY27 was another quarter of resilient execution. Our overall Revenues stood at INR 3,843 Mn, up 20% YoY;
EBITDA at INR 635 Mn, up 10% YoY and PAT at INR 163 Mn, up 55% YoY. This is the highest EBITDA and PAT
achieved in the last eighteen quarters. These results underscore the strength of our core business, disciplined execution
and our continued focus on profitable growth.
Our Base Business continues to exhibit robust momentum, supported by consistent operational execution and a focus on
profitable growth. Our Base business Revenues stood at INR 3,077 Mn, up 24% YoY; Gross margins of INR 1,580 Mn,
up 10% YoY and EBITDA at INR 722 Mn, up 8% YoY; in spite of input cost pressures resulting from higher raw material
prices on account of the ongoing geopolitical developments in West Asia. The sustained performance of the Base business
reinforces our confidence in its long-term growth potential.
The Commodity Ibuprofen business continues to face profitability challenges, reporting an EBITDA margin of negative 12%
amid a difficult operating environment. While profitability remains under pressure, we witnessed a marginal sequential
improvement during the quarter.
Our ongoing efforts on strengthening the Balance sheet has led to reduction of net debt by INR 1,346 Mn during the
quarter bringing our net debt to INR 4,795 Mn, resulting in a Net debt to EBITDA ratio of ~1.9 (annualised).
Looking ahead, we remain committed to building on this strong foundation by driving sustainable growth, enhancing
margins, and creating long-term value for our stakeholders through disciplined execution, operational excellence, and
prudent capital allocation."
The Base business delivers strong performance with Revenues of INR 3,077 Mn, up 24% YoY and EBITDA of INR 722 Mn, up
8% YoY, inspite of short-term headwinds related to West Asia crisis
