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. Page 2 of 17 Laurus Labs Limited July 24, 2026 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.
