Anil K K: Good evening, everyone. Thank you for joining our Earnings Conference Call to discuss the
performance of Q1 FY '27.
I hope everyone had an opportunity to go through the Financial Results, Press Release and
Investors' Presentation, which are uploaded on the Stock Exchanges as well as on our Company's
Website.
Q1 FY '27 is only our 2nd Quarter of reporting on the enlarged consolidated base, a base that
was first captured in the 4th Quarter of Financial Year 2026.
Noumed Pharmaceuticals was consolidated with effect on 12 November, 2025. Consequently,
the 1st Quarter of the previous year, that is Q1 FY '26, carries no contribution from Noumed,
and thus, year-on-year comparison is not like for like. Consolidated total revenue for the quarter
stood at Rs. 182 crores against Rs. 201 crores in the Q4 FY '26. Gross profit was Rs. 76 crores
at gross margin of 41.8%. EBITDA stood at Rs. 27 crores at a margin of 14.9% and profit after
tax at Rs. 8 crores at margin of 4.3%. Mr. Anil Kumar - CFO, will take you through the details
shortly. The 1st Quarter therefore represents approximately 24% of our full-year revenue target
of Rs. 750 crores. That is ahead of where the 1st Quarter needs to be, given our guidance that
the year splits 45:55 between the two halves.
Our order flow has always been weighted towards the second half, with the 4th Quarter
historically our strongest. Gross margin improved to 41.8% from 38.1% in the preceding quarter,
an expansion of 370 basis points.
Our contracts carry a window of 90-120 days between a price revision being notified and being
realized. That lag is now beginning to unwind in our favor. The recovery of raw material cost
increases remain partial at this stage, and we expect full further benefit to flow across the contract
book through the 2nd Quarter. EBITDA of Rs. 27 crores at a margin of 14.9% and improvement

of 50 basis points over the 14.4% recorded in Q4 FY '26. I would emphasize that this
improvement was achieved on a lower revenue base, and it was achieved despite absorbing
elevated air freight cost in Australia. The situation in West Asia delayed consignments from the
Indian contract manufacturing network into our Australian market. This affected the industry as
a whole, and we took the decision to move available inventory by air rather than by sea in order
to protect our customer commitments. That decision carried a cost. In absence of such
constraints, our margins for the quarter would have been better.
Let me now turn to the strategic developments approved by the Board of Directors yesterday:
The Board has approved a proposed variation in the objects of the IPO issue. In substance, we
propose to redeploy Rs. 83.83 crores originally earmarked for the capacity expansion and
upgradation of our manufacturing facilities, that is, Unit-1 and Unit-2, and Rs. 18.02 crores
originally earmarked for the establishment of new research and development center towards
majority stakes in two operating pharmaceutical assets. The aggregate amount involved is Rs.
101.85 crores. The proposal is subject to the approval of shareholders. The purpose for which
the IPO funds were raised namely European GMP compliant injectable capacity for regulated
markets and a dedicated research and development platform remains entirely unchanged. What
is being varied is only the manner of execution. The reason for the variation is a change in the
regulatory position in Hyderabad. Under the Hyderabad Industrial Lands Transformation Policy,
which is called as HILTP policy, units situated within the outer ring road may convert that land
and relocate outside it and materially for us, upgradations within the outer ring road are no longer
permitted. Unit-1 and 2 at Jeedimetla fall squarely within that parameter. There is also a physical
constraint we cannot work around. The Jeedimetla site measures approximately 3,100 square
yards against the 12,000-13,000 square yards that EU-GMP injectable plant of this scale
requires. The site cannot be expanded, so no adjoining land is available to us. So the alternate of
building from the ground up afresh would have cost us extended time.
A Greenfield project began today would have required 7-8 months for land allotment alone
before construction and could even commence. Against that background, the company proposes
to acquire 60% equity stake in Saicriti Pharma Private Limited, a newly established company
for Rs. 83.83 crores. Saicriti has been formed for the purpose of constructing a critical care
injectable facility at Gummadidala outside the outer ring road on a site of over 15,000 square
yards where already approvals are in place and civil work is already underway. The facility is
being built to European GMP and USFDA standards with a dedicated capability in complex
injectables, lyophilisation and GLP, along with site general injectable capacity.
I want to be precise on one point that anticipate you may inquire. This is an investment into a
project under construction. It is not the purchase of an established business. On the funding
structure, the total project cost is estimated Rs. 215 crores. The company contribution is Rs.
83.83 crores is unchanged from the amount originally earmarked for upgrading one and two.
The balance 40% is being funded by the promoters of Saicriti and the residual requirement
through project debt. The entire Rs. 83.83 crores is applied towards the construction of the
facility and no part of it represents consideration for an existing business, a customer ba
