The Indian pharma market witnessed a volume growth of 3.4% in Q1 of FY27, reflecting a
steady yet measured industry environment. Against this backdrop, Windlas Biotech continued
its growth trajectory, delivering its highest ever quarterly revenue of INR248 crores,
representing 18% Y-o-Y growth. This performance underscores the strength and resilience of
our diversified business model, our operational excellence and the trust our customers place in
We are on track for the commercialization of Plant 6 in H1 of FY27, which will further
strengthen our manufacturing capacity and enable us to support future growth opportunities. Our
injectables and Plant 2 extension facilities continue to drive scalable growth, highlighting the
effectiveness of our strategic investments.

Over to you, Komal.
Komal Gupta: Thank you, Hitesh. Good morning, everyone. We have started FY27 with a positive note by
extending our record revenue streak to 14 consecutive quarters with 18% Y-o-Y growth to
INR248 crores revenue. Consistent with our focus on long-term shareholders value creation, in
Q1 FY27, the company also completed INR47 crores buyback in which promoters did not
participate and declaration of FY26 dividend of INR13 crores, INR6.30 per equity share.
Excluding the impact of ESOP expenses, which are non-cash in nature, INR7.2 crores, our
EBITDA grew 26% Y-o-Y to INR34 crores. PBT and PAT grew 27% and 37% Y-o-Y to INR30
crores and INR25 crores, respectively, reflecting our continued focus on improving operational
leverage. If we take into account noncash ESOP expenditure, INR7.2 crores, the company
reported EBITDA INR27 crores, PBT INR23 crores and PAT INR18 crores. For Q1 FY27,
earnings per share has improved to INR8.46.
Our Generic Formulations CDMO vertical delivered 29% Y-o-Y revenue growth to INR207
crores, driven by customer expansion, deeper customer engagement and new product launches.
The Trade Generics & Institutional vertical reported revenue of INR30 crores, following
discontinuation of codeine-based products.
As we expand the portfolio with new launches and replacements, we expect to progressively
bridge this gap. Our Exports vertical recorded 79% Y-o-Y growth to INR11 crores. We remain
focused on long-term company level performance rather than quarterly and vertical-wise
fluctuations and are confident in the underlying growth opportunity in all 3 verticals.
Looking ahead, our priorities remain focused on strengthening strategic partnerships, expanding
our offering, achieving operational excellence, accelerating portfolio development and driving
disciplined execution. Supported by a modernized manufacturing base, a talented workforce and
clear strategic direction, we are all well positioned to capitalize on the opportunities across all 3
business verticals.
Thank you for your continued trust and support in the company. We'll now open the floor for
questions.
Moderator: Thank you. We will now begin with the question-and-answer session. The first question comes
from the line of Dhwanil Desai with Turtle Capital.
Dhwanil Desai: First of all, congratulations for a very strong execution once again despite challenges on the
Trade Generic side. So, my first question is we have done exceedingly well on the CDMO, CMO
side. So, if you can give some colour, is it that because the overall volume growth in the market
has come back and hence, it is kind of helping us.
And generally, we have been in that 17%, 18%, 20% kind of a range. So, is this still delta coming
because of the injectable now also contributing to CDMO and hence, slightly more sustainable
higher growth? If you can give some colour on that.
Komal Gupta: Thanks, Dhwanil. So CDMO, you have rightly pointed out, we have delivered a 29% kind of a
number, which in a long period of time, this should be the highest one. However, I would like

to emphasize that it is important for everyone to note that quarter while growth percentage is an
area on which consistently we have been saying that it is important to look at quarterly growth
numbers with caution, positive or negative because there are several factors that contribute to
having a very high or very low growth number as far in any vert
