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 BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL 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 (23.1%) (10.4%) 2.5x 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 Revenue growth (YoY) API+ growth (YoY) Sapala revenue growth performance (YoY)  Our Niche technology share contributed 15.1% of revenues INR 4.22 Bn INR 92 mn* INR (430) mn*  API+ segment declined 10.4% YoY, largely due to timing-related factors. Certain commercial orders and validation campaigns shifted into later quarters, while one Total Revenue Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted Profit/(loss) after Tax program was affected by an operational event at a customer facility. Select parts of the portfolio saw lower volumes as well. Favorable pricing and an improved product 2.2% 9.2% 15.1% mix offset the impact on API+ business. Underlying demand remains healthy with a EBITDA% excl. one time Adjusted EBITDA standalone % Niche Tech as % of revenue robust API order book supporting our outlook for the year  Specialty Chemicals revenue declined by 34.7% YoY, primarily led by expected H2 dominated phasing of products in AgChem Segmental Revenue (YoY) – CDMO# share at 38%  Gross margins contracted to 71.5%, down 150 basis points YoY, largely due to product mix and a lower contribution from the CDMO business. Other costs such as higher freight, logistics and raw-material costs were partially mitigated via selective Pharma CDMO price pass-throughs to customers across business segments  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 impact of subsidiary consolidation from NJ Bio (made EBITDA loss of Rs. 328 Mn) Healthy cash generation in Q1FY27 API +  Free cash flow of INR 1,063 Mn generated during the quarter.
