Satyanarayana Chava: Thanks for the introduction. Good afternoon to all our stakeholders. We continue to make steady
progress and a strong demand environment for multiple complex technology platforms and
integrated manufacturing capabilities. We reported significant acceleration in our CDMO
business, maintained sustained momentum in affordable medicine portfolio, and continue to
show tangible advancement in our mid- and late-stage commercial projects with global
innovators.
We are executing well on our transformation strategy with a clear focus and determination to
realize the near- to medium-term opportunities. At the same time, we continue investing in
capacity readiness to better meet our client needs, new technologies, emerging and complex
modalities like peptides, ADCs, gene therapy, etcetera, to seize the next wave of business
opportunities that will positively drive future value creation for all stakeholders.
Moving on to financial results. Laurus maintained its strong growth momentum, delivering
highest quarterly revenue, EBITDA and profits during the first quarter. The company's revenues
were INR2,026 crores, showing a 29% growth. This was mainly driven by growing contribution
of commercial supplies in CDMO segment and continued strength in affordable medicine
portfolio.
Gross margins were also very healthy and maintained around 62.7% and EBITDA margins
further expanded over previous quarter by 7 percentage points to 31.8%. Our product mix within
the business divisions operating leverage continued to do well, supporting healthy margins
overall. We also achieved several milestones in our operations.

The first one is we signed a development and commercial agreement with Aarvik Therapeutics
for 2 ADC molecules for India markets. Those are in the clinical stage. We have onboarded a
big pharma client with significant opportunities ahead of us.
The third one, the final handover of 500-plus acres of land parcel from AP government is in the
final stages now. I would like to thank our dedicated team for their relentless effort and strong
progress we are achieving now.
I would request Ms. Krishna Chava to share key updates on our CDMO segment.
Krishna Chava: Yes. Thank you, sir. Within the CDMO side, the division has continued to deliver strong
operational execution in Q1, reporting a growth of 69% with the sales of INR835 crores on the
small molecule side. This is mainly driven by acceleration in the late-stage clinical and
commercial deliveries of the programs for multiple global partners. We continue to see good and
encouraging progress across both Human Health and Animal Health businesses, both on volume
ramp-ups with existing portfolios and also new potential customer engagements. As we continue
to strengthen capabilities of our CDMO platform, we are constantly enhancing the service
efficiency and also conversion of the opportunities at various different clinical stages, reflecting
client trust in our technical and commercial capabilities.
Continued investment into capacity creation at our Vizag site and also advancing quite well on
the commercial scale peptide capacities based on customer demand. I would say with customers'
ongoing demand for enabling services, our strong CDMO business model and the management
execution in line with which the company is confident to sustain a very healthy business growth.
Now moving on to the Laurus Bio side of things. Bio division reported a Q1 sales of about
INR35 crores, which is about 21% growth year-on-year, which is broadly in line with our
expectation. The growth is supported by customer revenue diversification and also continued
pipeline progress on some of the larger global accounts, both in the animal origin-free space and
also in the CDMO side.
We have continued to demonstrate significant value add through the expanded application and
capabilities, especially in the enzymatic and biocatalysis platform across various different
clinical phases, further deepening long-term customer partnerships. Construction work for the
commercial scale fermentation facility and strengthening of our downstream processing
infrastructure is progressing in line with the plan, and we expect Phase 1 of this capacity, which
is a little over 400 kiloliters is expected to be operational towards the end of this year. Thank
you.
Satyanarayana Chava: Now, I would like to request Ms. Soumya Chava to share the key updates on our Affordable
Medicines division.
Soumya Chava: Thank you. Our Affordable Medicine division delivered a strong quarter 1 performance with
revenue reaching to INR1,156 crores, which is an increase of 10% year-on-year. Our growth

we continue to maintain our market leadership.
Our recently launched products in the developed markets also sustained their strong momentum.
