Board approves infusion of up to ₹50 crore, as a loan, into subsidiary SMS Pep(cid:415)des Private
Limited; building on the ₹8 crore investment made in FY26 to establish its dedicated pep(cid:415)de

R&D team strength increased to 200, suppor(cid:415)ng the development pipeline of niche and
high-value APIs and pep(cid:415)des
SMS Pharmaceu(cid:415)cals Limited (SMS Pharma) (NSE: SMSPHARMA; BSE:532815), a diversified and
integrated pharmaceu(cid:415)cal company specialising in Ac(cid:415)ve Pharmaceu(cid:415)cal Ingredients (API) and
complex Intermediates for global customers, has announced its unaudited financial results for the
quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Commen(cid:415)ng on the performance, Mr. P. Vamsi Krishna, Execu(cid:415)ve Director, stated:
“We have started FY27 on a healthy note with broad-based growth across our high-value API
portfolio while maintaining EBITDA margins at around 20%. During the quarter, we continued
to benefit from backward integration and an improving product mix, which supported
consistently healthy gross margins and reinforced the structural improvement in our unit
economics.
While our structural margin profile continues to improve, EBITDA margins during the quarter
were impacted by annual employee increments, reflecting our continued investment in
expanding our organisational capabilities and manpower in line with our short- and long-term
growth strategy. Elevated freight costs arising from the geopolitical situation in West Asia also
impacted EBITDA margins during the quarter. We expect these temporary headwinds to ease
in the near future, providing further support to margin expansion alongside the continued
benefits of backward integration and an improving product mix.
On the R&D front, we completed 4 DMF and CEP filings during the quarter, keeping us on track
to achieve our FY27 target of 10 DMF/CEP filings. Our R&D team has developed a pipeline of
6 to 8 niche and high-value molecules, which are expected to enter commercial production
towards the end of this financial year. In parallel, we are allocating additional capital of ₹50
crore to our peptide CDMO platform, in line with our strategy of building a differentiated
portfolio of niche, high-value products.
Our ₹280 crore Capex programme is progressing as planned. Of the total outlay, ₹120 crore
has been completed, with the remaining ₹160 crore expected to be completed by FY27. This
will support the commercialisation of new niche and high-value molecules.
Looking ahead, we expect growth momentum to strengthen over the remaining quarters of
FY27. Our ARV portfolio will continue to expand with the commercialisation of new molecules,
while Ibuprofen is well positioned to deliver strong volume growth supported by improving
realisations/margins. In addition, increasing contributions from high-value APIs and new
product launches are expected to further support revenue growth. With a diversified portfolio,
robust product pipeline and ongoing capacity expansion, we remain confident of delivering
our FY27 growth guidance while sustaining EBITDA margins of 20%.”

Performance review
Revenue from operations in Q1FY27 was ₹207.0 crore, up 6% YoY, driven by broad-based growth
across high-value APIs. Strong growth in the ARV portfolio was supported by continued market share
gains, while Ibuprofen continued to witness healthy demand from regulated markets. Growth was
further supported by growing contribution from high-value APIs, reflecting the Company's continued
focus on portfolio diversification.
Gross profit (Incl. manufacturing expenses) increased 12% YoY to ₹74.9 crore, with gross margin
expanding 217 bps YoY to 36%, reflecting the benefits of backward integration and an improving
product mix. EBITDA increased 4% YoY to ₹40.95 crore, while EBITDA margin remained healthy at 20%.
PAT increased 8% YoY to ₹20.20 crore, with PAT margin remaining stable at 10%. The share of profit
from our associate company, VKT Pharma Private Limited, stood at ₹0.71 crore during the quarter.
Consequently, Net profit after tax and share of profit from associate was ₹20.91 crore.
Project update
Our ₹280 crore Capex programme is progressing as planned. Of the total outlay, ₹120 crore has been
completed, with the remaining ₹160 crore expected to be completed by FY27. This will support the
commercialisation of new niche and high-value molecules.
Outlook
We are on track to deliver our FY27 growth guidance with EBITDA margins of 20%. Growth will be
supported by the completion of our capacity expansion programme, enabling the commercialisation
of new niche and high-value molecules, alongside volume growth across our expanded ARV portfolio
and anti-inflammatory products.
