Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, good day, and welcome to the Sai Life Sciences Limited Q1 FY27 Earnings
Conference Call. 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 the conference call, please signal an operator by pressing star and then zero on your touch-
tone phone. Please note that this conference is being recorded.
I now hand the conference over to Mr. Diwakar Pingle from E&Y Investor Relations. Thank you,
and over to you, sir.
Diwakar Pingle: Thank you so much, Sagar. Good evening to all the participants on this call. Warmly welcome you
to the Q1 FY27 earnings call of Sai Life Sciences Limited. Before we proceed, on the call, let me
remind you that the discussion may contain forward-looking statements that may involve known,
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.
It must be viewed in conjunction with our business risks that could cause future result performance
or achievement to differ significantly from what is expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Please note that we mail the results and the same are available on our website too. In case
you have not received the same, you can write to my team at E&Y and we'll be happy to send the
same over to you.
To take us through the results and answer your questions today, we have the top management of Sai
Life Sciences Limited, represented by Mr. Krishna Kanumuri, Managing Director and Chief
Executive Officer; and Mr. Siva Chittor, Whole-Time Director and Chief Financial Officer. We will
start the call with a brief overview of the quarter gone past and then conduct the Q&A session.
With that said, I'll now hand over the call to Krishna Kanumuri. Over to you, Krishna.
Krishna Kanumuri: Thank you, Diwakar. Good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining us for our Q1 FY27 earnings
call. We are pleased with the progress we have made in the first quarter and importantly with the
momentum we are seeing across our business. Revenue for the quarter grew by 12% year-over-year,
supported by growth across two businesses, particularly in the CRO, which grew by 26% year-over-
year.
The Q1 performance has been in line with our expectations and we remain confident of our growth
trajectory and prospects. As we have discussed in the previous earnings call, we expect a stronger
H2 with planned capacity expansion going live in the second half of the year.
As we look ahead, we believe Sai is at an important point in evolution from being a strong small
molecule CRDMO to becoming a technology-led, multi-modality partner with capabilities spanning
discovery through commercial manufacturing.
Let me begin with the broader environment. From a customers’ standpoint, geopolitical uncertainty
and concerns around intellectual property have made India an increasingly important part of their
diversification strategies. I would say this trend has not only continued but strengthened.
In the biotech environment, we have seen several large acquisitions and about 18 IPOs in the US.

As investors cash out, we expect capital to flow back into funding new biotech companies. The clear
message we are picking up is that these new companies will be built with even leaner in-house
capabilities, which should continue to support healthy demand for our sector.
Our pipeline is being built for the long haul. Through dedicated FTE models, we are building deep,
durable relationships with our customers' development team. This is impacting our pipeline in three
distinct ways.
Molecules from biotech companies that we have supported being acquired by pharmaceutical
collaborators, molecules from acquired companies transferred to us, and finally, molecules from our
own FTE relationships progressing into late-stage development.
Together, these three create a broad and sustainable funnel for the business.
As we engage with our customers, it is clear that the complexity and range of technologies they are
pursuing are broader than ever. This aligns very well with our strategy of building strong R&D
capabilities across diverse range of modalities.
We believe the biggest long-term opportunity is to continue building a fully integrated delivery
engine, from discovery through commercial manufacturing. We are seeing a clear traction with our
clients beginning to engage with us across the full spectrum of our services. We are well positioned
to transition from integrated small molecule CRDMO to a full-fledged multi-modality integrated
CRDMO. We have already made meaningful progress and will continue to accelerate this build-out.
Peptides are an important modality for us. We have one of the largest and fastest-growing peptide
team within discovery. While GLP-1s received significant attention, there is substantial work
underway in macrocyclic peptides, peptide-drug conjugates, and radiochemistry applications.
Our first dedicated peptide development lab is coming online shortly for a top-tier pharma company.
We are also expanding the scope of our peptides center of excellence support to both discovery and
development teams with ability to deliver pilot quantities for clinical trials. In addition, we plan to
break ground for a peptide manufacturing facility at our new greenfield site near Hyderabad, which
is expected to be operational in 2028.
We are close to opening our XDC Center of Excellence, which will support both discovery and
development teams in the synthesis of payloads, linkers, and conjugation across antibodies, peptides,
PROTACs, and oligonucleotides
There is an increasing need to support our development programs with greater speed and flexibility.
We are working on building new capacity specifically designed for early to mid-stage deliveries and
will be an important part of the expansion at our new greenfield manufacturing site.
Formulation is another area we are entering. While we are still about six months away from being
operationally ready, we are seeing significant interest from our pharma partners. There is a clear
demand for integrated offering that can deliver both custom first-in-human APIs and drug products
with speed, helping customers accelerate development timelines.
Scientific excellence remains at the heart of this evolution.
