Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, good day, and welcome to the Neuland Laboratories Limited’s Q2 and
H1 FY27 Earnings Conference Call. As a reminder, all participant lines will be in the listen-
only mode. There will be an opportunity for you to ask questions after the management’s
commentary concludes. Please note that this call is being recorded. I now hand the conference
over to Miss. Runjhun Jain from Ernst & Young. Thank you and over to you, Madam.
Runjhun Jain: Thank you, Inba. Good evening, everyone. To take us through the results and to answer your
questions, we have with us the top management represented by Mr. Saharsh Davuluri, CEO
and Managing Director; Mr. G.V. Bhardwaj, AVP Finance; and Mr. Sajeev Medikonda, Head
of Corporate Planning and Strategy. Mr. Abhijit Majumdar, CFO of the Company, could not
join us today due to some personal exigencies.
We will start the call with a brief overview of the financials by Mr. Bhardwaj, and then
Saharsh will give you the broad highlights of the business trends and what he is seeing in the
market. Post that, we will open the call for Q&A session. The standard safe harbor clause
applies as we start the call. With that said, I now hand over the floor to Mr. Bhardwaj. Over
to you, Sir!
G.V. Bhardwaj: Thank you very much, Runjhun and a good evening to everyone joining our call. I will
quickly run through the financials before Saharsh shares his thoughts on the performance and
the business.
The total income for the quarter stood at Rs.457.2 Crores compared to Rs.516.1 Crores in the
corresponding previous last year. For the H1FY27, the total income stood at Rs.1107.2 Crores
compared to Rs.816.7 Crores in H1 FY26. Commercial CMS molecules continued to make
meaningful contribution to revenues during this quarter while GDS business saw
contributions from our prime as well as specialty portfolio. As we have consistently indicated
earlier, the timing and product mix of a business can result in variability between individual
quarters. We therefore continue to believe that the progression of the business is better
evaluated over longer periods of time.
Gross margin for the quarter stood at 59.4% compared to 60.1% in Q2 FY2026. As always,
gross margin includes manufacturing expenses and other costs directly attributable to the
product. EBITDA for the quarter stood at Rs.104.6 Crores, representing a margin of 22.9%
compared to Rs.156.9 Crores and a margin of 30.4% during the corresponding period last
year. Profit after tax for the quarter was Rs.51.1 Crores compared to Rs.96.5 Crores in Q2
FY2026. EPS for the quarter stood at 39.85 per share.

During the first half of the financial year, we also experienced increase in input costs. The
geopolitical environment and the ongoing conflicts in different parts of the world have led to
volatility in certain raw material prices and escalation in freight and logistics costs.
Working capital for the quarter stood at 104 days of sale compared to 84 days in the previous
quarter. Optimal utilization of cash continues to remain an important priority for us.
We continue to focus on inventory management, customer collections and aligning working
capital requirements with the changing scale and composition of our business. Our ongoing
capital investment continued to progress in line with our plans. As we also have indicated
earlier, the nature and scale of this investment will continue to be evaluated against customer
requirements and the opportunities we see across our businesses.
Our capex outflow during the first half of FY2027 was Rs.261 Crores, and free cash flows
for the period stood at Rs.99 Crores while net debt stood at negative Rs.208 Crores. While
we remain conscious of external environment and near-term cost pressures, we continue to
take long-term view for the business and remain disciplined in the way we deploy capital.
As in the past, our investor presentation, which has been shared along with the press release,
contains further details on the financial performance. With that, I would like to hand over the
call to Saharsh for his remarks. Thank you very much.
Saharsh Davuluri: Thank you, Bhardwaj. Good evening, everyone, and welcome once again to the call. As the
numbers show this quarter has been below the trend that we have seen over the last few
quarters; however, if we consider the first half of the year it was largely consistent with our
expectations.
Before getting into further details, I think it is important to once again emphasize the
underlying dynamics of our business, particularly for those of you who may have started
following Neuland more recently. So, as a CDMO, Neuland’s business follows the
development and commercial requirements of individual customer molecules. In
development, not every molecule advances through clinical trials or reaches
commercialization, and project timelines also can shift. Commercial molecules also
contribute unevenly as customer requirements, shipment schedules also vary sometimes
between quarters. As individual commercial shipments become larger, a shift in timing can
have a greater impact on quarterly revenues, and that is why we keep saying lumpiness, quite
often in our earnings calls and conversations. This makes growth uneven from a quarter-to-
quarter basis, and that is why we keep saying that we need to assess our business over longer
periods.

Over the last several years, Neuland has evolved considerably as a CDMO supporting
innovators developing new chemical entities. FY2026 was the first year where we actually
had greater revenues contributing from CMS in comparison with GDS. We believe the
increasing contribution from CMS will remain an important part of Neuland’s evolution over
the coming years. Coming specifically to this quarter, revenues were predominantly driven
by the commercial molecules in CMS, along with products from the Prime portfolio within
GDS. While this quarter has seen sequential moderation, we continue to see a steady flow of
new proposals. Our commercial NCEs will continue to drive the business in the near term,
while newer projects progressing through the pipeline will support our long-term growth. One
development that has been particularly encouraging is the level of RFP activity that we have
seen in this financial year, and it has been the strongest to date.
We are seeing multiple opportunities stemming from relationships that have been built and
nurtured over several years. This reflects the continuous efforts of our teams and lends further
credibility to the import
