Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, good day, and welcome to the Q1 FY27 Earnings Conference Call of
Clean Science and Technology Limited. We have with us on the call Siddharth Sikchi, Managing
Director and Promoter; Sanjay Parnerkar, CFO; and Pratik Bora, President, Commercial.
As a reminder, all participant lines will be in the listen-only mode and there will be an
opportunity for you to ask questions after the presentation concludes. Should you need assistance
during this conference call, please signal an operator by pressing star then zero on your touch-
tone phone.
I now hand the conference over to Mr. Siddharth Sikchi for opening remarks. Thank you, and
over to you, Mr. Siddharth Sikchi.
Siddharth Sikchi: Thank you so much, Iqra. Good evening, everybody. Thank you so much for attending the call
on a Saturday evening. So let me start by welcoming everyone and a warm welcome for the
quarter 1 FY27 earnings call of the company, and I thank you for joining the call.
Let me first speak on the business environment. The quarter performance shall be viewed in
backdrop of geopolitical headwinds impacting raw material supply chain and its cost. Non-
availability of shipping vessels impacted timely export of goods, leading to supply side
challenges.
Further, the raw material costs in China were not impacted as much as they were compared to
India. Despite external challenges during the quarter, Clean Science reported a steady
performance during the quarter. The company was able to improve revenue, maintain
operational stability, and continue progress on its value-creating initiatives.
We are also pleased to report our highest ever consolidated sales in company's history, reaching
approximately INR264 crores during the quarter. Let me speak on the standalone business
performance. On a sequential basis, the revenue improved by 5% to INR 203 crores, largely due
to increase in realization in all the products. The EBITDA and the PAT margins are at 43% and
36%, translating into an EBITDA of INR87 crores and PAT of INR 73 crores.
The Q4 FY26 EBITDA and PAT after adjusting the one-off operating expense transactions is
roughly INR 83 crores and INR 53 crores, respectively. Thereby, the current quarter EBITDA
and PAT reflected a growth of 5% and 37%, respectively.
The Q-on-Q increase in revenue was primarily led by improved realization in all the segments.
Speaking on Y-o-Y comparison, the sales were moderated by 6% during the quarter. The
revenue moderation was primarily led by decrease in sales volume, which was on account of
supply side headwinds as mentioned earlier. The demand environment continues to be steady.
On consolidated business performance, the HALS scaleup continues to drive operating leverage
and sustainable profit improvement. HALS is now 22% of our sales, and we have been able to

derisk our reliance on the top 4 legacy products by moderating their share from 85% in Q4 FY23
to 60% this quarter.
Another important point was that CFCL reached an important milestone by becoming
operationally self-sustaining. Having fully recovered its operating expenses, we now shift from
investing phase to monetizing phase. Our first year of HALS sales were entirely domestic. In
contrast, the current quarter reflects a much more diversified geographical mix with exports
contributing nearly 50% of the HALS sales.
On a sequential basis, the consolidated revenues grew by 7% to INR 264 crores. EBITDA and
PAT are 37% and 28%, respectively, which stands at INR 96 crores and INR 73 crores,
respectively.
On a Y-o-Y basis, the revenue increased by 10% during the quarter, and the increase in revenue
is primarily led by consistent scale-up of our HALS business. Hence, the sales profile looks like
Performance, Pharma and FMCG, respectively, 83%, 10% and 7%, respectively.
I would like to take a minute to discuss the key business development which happened during
the quarter. Point 1, we entered into a strategic collaboration with our Swiss partner called as
Geneus Chem. This represents an important step in the next phase of our HALS journey. This
will provide Clean Science an entry into differentiated advanced grade of HALS chemistry that
are technology-intensive, value-added and aligned and evolving global customer requirements.
Taken together, these developments reinforce our confidence that HALS platform can evolve
into a much stronger growth driver for the company over the coming years. With expanding
customer acceptance, improving export penetration and a richer product basket, we believe that
the platform is steadily moving towards more meaningful scale, stronger margins and greater
strategic importance within the company's portfolio.
The stabilization of the hydroquinone and catechol plant has been largely completed and our
operations are now progressing well. We have received the necessary customers' approval and
are ramping up for commercial supplies. As the production scales up, we expect a gradual
increase in revenue in the coming quarters.
On a capex update, the Performance Chemical 2 will get commercialized by quarter 3 FY27.
And during the quarter, capital infusion in the subsidiary was approximately INR100 crores with
this total investment in the subsidiary stands at approximately INR850 crores.
I think that's all from my side, and I'm open for any questions-and-answers.
Moderator: Thank you very much. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. The first question
is from the line of Sanjesh from ICICI Securities.

Sanjesh: Got a couple of questions. First on the HALS, what was the volume this quarter, because the
consol minus subsidiary, it shows we have grown close to 170%. So what was the mix of volume
and pricing? And how much was the contribution of the products beyond 701 and 770?
Siddharth Sikchi: In terms of price realization, Sanjesh, the product mix has improved. From 770, 622, we have
now moved to the higher grades. So I think the average prices have moved from 440-odd to 550.
So this is in terms of price realization. And in terms of volume...
Pratik Bora: Sanjesh, volumes are in the range of 1,000 tons, and the product mix has significantly improved
to the higher grades of HALS, meaning, I mean, last quarter where almost 50% of contribution
came in from HALS 770, this quarter it has come down to 35-odd percent. And hence, the gross
margins have improved on the subsidiary level.
Sanjesh: Got it. Got it. Siddharth, we were looking at, what, close to 3,000 metric tons for HALS this
year. You think you ca
