EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Q1 FY27: PERFORMANCE IN LINE WITH COMMENTARY
As guided, Q1 was weak on revenue and EBITDA, reflecting shipment and order phasing, an unfavourable product mix, negative operating leverage
and subsidiary consolidation. The standalone business remained strong and the balance sheet net-cash positive
Strategic initiatives: Management has acted on two immediate priorities—building one integrated nucleic-acid business with clear leadership
and a defined path to full ownership of Sapala, and repositioning Agrochemicals towards a broader innovator-product-led portfolio
Pharma CDMO: Scheduled commercial deliveries, a secured restocking order and progress across the 10-molecule Phase III portfolio support
recovery in small molecules. The focus in ADCs is an integrated payload–linker–bioconjugation offering and improved utilisation at NJ Bio;
nucleic-acid capabilities are being unified around Sapala with a defined path to full ownership
API+: A resilient base supported by niche APIs, cost competitiveness, backward integration and a healthy order book. Priorities are disciplined
execution, higher-value innovator lifecycle opportunities and progressive normalisation in Formulations
Specialty Chemicals: Agrochemicals is being repositioned towards a broader innovator-product-led portfolio, while Performance Materials
remains stable and electronic and semiconductor-linked opportunities are being developed as longer-term growth drivers
The management focus remains on customer conversion, predictable delivery, quality, safety and better utilisation across the Cohance platform
FY27 OUTLOOK: GROWTH YEAR, WEIGHTED TOWARDS H2
Sequential improvement is expected from Q2. Growth is expected to return during H2 FY27
Growth is expected to be supported by the recovery in Pharma CDMO, order-backed growth in Sapala, stability in API+ and normalisation in
formulations
ADC payloads and linkers, AgChem and emerging Performance Chemicals programmes will strengthen the late-stage pipeline and build a broader
base for growth beyond FY27
EBITDA improvement is expected to be weighted towards the second half, supported by volume recovery, a better product mix and improved
utilisation across the platform

PERFORMANCE
Q1 FY27 performance:
Q1 FY27 Financial Highlights
Q1 FY27 revenues stood at INR 4,223 Mn, a decline of 23.1% YoY. This was on the
back of shipment phasing in Pharma CDMO, a softer contribution from

Agrochemicals, lower Formulations revenue and the timing of execution across parts
of the portfolio. It was partly offset by strong growth at Sapala and resilient API

Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 FY27 was INR 92 Mn, with margins at 2.2%. The sharp
reduction reflects the lower revenue base, negative operating leverage and the
