Executive Summary
Executive Summary – Q2FY27 and H1FY27
Q2FY27: Sequential recovery gaining traction; integrated capabilities strengthening the growth platform
Q2 delivered a clear sequential recovery, with revenue up ~13% QoQ and adjusted EBITDA margin improving to 10% from 2% in Q1,
demonstrating progress from the Q1
Strategic Progress: One Cohance integration is driving operational and commercial progress across businesses
Pharma CDMO:
• In Small Molecules, the order and reload position for Q3 and Q4 has improved materially. Secured two new commercial and one late-
stage programme with large global pharma customers, strengthening relationships and medium-term growth opportunities
• In nucleic acid business, Sapala’s strong performance is supported by increasing integration of its specialised chemistry and
customer relationships with Cohance’s development and manufacturing network.
API+: API+ revenue grew YoY, supported by selective pricing actions, while lower API volumes, shipment phasing and higher raw-material
costs impacted margins.
Specialty Chemicals: Specialty Chemicals declined YoY due to lower AgChem volumes, pricing pressure and programme phasing, while
Performance Materials remained relatively stable.
Focused on expanding customer value-chain participation and improving programme conversion through integrated development-to-
manufacturing capabilities, including bioconjugation, ADC payload-linkers and R&D infrastructure.
Will maintain disciplined capital allocation, with investments phased based on customer visibility, project readiness and expected returns.
FY27 Outlook: Stronger H2 expected
H2FY27 revenue and EBITDA expected to grow YoY, supported by continued recovery and progressive integration of Cohance’s capabilities to
unlock platform potential. H2 focus is on improving revenue mix and utilisation to support progressive margin recovery.
H2 is expected to be stronger than H1, driven by Small Molecule deliveries, API+ resilience and Sapala growth, with improved revenue mix and
utilisation supporting EBITDA recovery.
Proposed Capex
Company plans to announce capex investment towards building capabilities in adjacencies and R&D to unlock the full potential of the One
Cohance platform.
