remarks. Thank you and over to you, sir.
Ajay Bhardwaj: Thank you. Good morning everyone. This is Ajay Bhardwaj. I'm pleased to announce our Q1
FY27 results.
Our consolidated revenues from operations for the quarter were Rs. 418 crores, out of which the
CRDMO business contributed 81.5% of the revenues, delivering Rs. 341 crores. Specialty
Ingredients contributed 18.5% of our revenues, delivering Rs. 78 crores. The EBITDA was Rs.
176 crores, including other income with EBITDA margin at 39.6%, that is nearly 40%. The
EBIT includes other income of Rs. 25 crores. PBT was Rs. 145 crores. Our profit after tax for
the quarter was Rs. 120 crores, with PAT margins at 27.1%. Net cash position of the company
as of June 30, 2026 was Rs. 1,720 crores.
Our Q1 FY27 results reflect timing shifts in deliveries to key customers. The underlying demand
remains strong, with a higher concentration of scheduled deliveries in the latter half of the year.
We are positioning to capture that momentum. We remain firmly committed to sustaining
revenue growth aligned with our long-term historical performance. On the margins front, we
delivered YoY improvement across both EBITDA and PAT margins.

Our disciplined focus on cost efficiencies, yield optimization and employee productivity
continues to reinforce our industry-leading margin profile, positioning us to sustain this
performance throughout the year. Thank you very much. Now I am open to questions. I have
with me my colleague, Mr. Gawir Baig, who's our CFO. Any questions, we'll be happy to
answer.
Moderator: Thank you very much. We will now begin the Q&A session. The first question is from the line
of Saion Mukherjee from Nomura Group. Please go ahead.
Saion Mukherjee: Thank you for taking my question. Can you update on the capacity utilization at Unit 1, 2 and
Neo Anthem as of first quarter and how should we think about utilization levels in these units
change in the next 3 years? Any timeline with respect to regulatory inspection required for Unit
3 by US FDA or European authorities?
Gawir Baig: Thanks, Saion. With respect to our capacity utilization, last year when we ended the year,
roughly about Unit 1 was about 74% utilized. We continue to have the same utilization in our
Unit 1 in this quarter, roughly about 78% utilized right now on the custom synthesis side. Unit
2 was about 65% utilized last year for the full year because we had gone through significant
expansion over there by adding about 130 kiloliters.
This quarter being a slightly softer quarter, our Unit 2 utilization was about 50% for Unit 2
across the expanded capacity on custom synthesis side. Fermentation utilization is about 50%
for Unit 2 across that 140 kiloliters that we have in fermentation.
Unit 3 has been picking up from a utilization point of view, roughly about 30% to 35% is the
utilization for Q1 FY27. This is a ramp-up from what we had about 15% odd of utilization in
FY26. There is a ramp-up in Unit 3.
What do we expect going forward? We expect all these units to be completely full and that's the
reason why Unit 4 is what we are setting up. We are in the midst of construction over there and
I think by end of next year, we'll be able to commission Unit 4, which can add another 365
kiloliters of custom synthesis and 100 kiloliters of fermentation. So, in the next 2 years, we
would look at ramping it up to almost optimum capacity utilization across all the three units.
Saion Mukherjee: Thank you. Just one clarification, with the increased utilization at Neo Anthem is primarily the
shifting of some production from the existing units to Neo Anthem, is that what is happening?
Ajay Bhardwaj: Some of it is that, but most of it is new orders that we are getting because we have a very modern
pilot plant there. We have also our peptide synthesis and oncology manufacturing there. Some
new projects are being put into that unit now. It is not just shifting some of it, it is mostly new
projects that are coming into Unit 3.
Saion Mukherjee: In the quarter, is there any update on new contracts, new client traction, large pharma, mid
pharma, any development that you would like to share? Some of the initiatives on peptides,
etcetera., if you can talk about any traction that you've seen over the last 3 months?

Ajay Bhardwaj: In terms of adding customers, we have one new Big Pharma customer which has been added.
We expect that to yield significant numbers going forward. One of our large biotech customer,
also got acquired by a Big Pharma. So, that is something that we still yet to pan out because it's
happened very recently, maybe a month old. It all continues to be good.
Just to again add to your query when Gawir was answering that 50% utilization of Unit 2 in this
quarter, and the subsequent quarters, we are very confident of having much better numbers
because our customers have deferred deliveries to the qua
