Capital Advisors Limited. On the call today, we have representing Marksans Pharma, Mr. Mark
Saldanha, Founder and Chairman and Managing Director, and Mr. Jitendra Sharma, Chief
Financial Officer.
I'll hand over the call to Mark to make the opening comments and then we'll open the floor for
questions from there on. Please go ahead, sir.
Mark Saldanha: Thank you, Nitin. Good afternoon, everyone and thank you for joining us for our Q1 FY27
earnings conference call. We sincerely appreciate your interest and continued support for the
company.
Q1 FY27 has been a very strong start to the year for Marksans. We delivered INR841 crores of
revenue, up 35.6% year-on-year, with our highest-ever quarterly EBITDA of INR213 crores and
highest ever quarterly PAT of INR159 crores, alongside our cash balance crossing INR1,000
crores for the first time.
We've been investing in our products, manufacturing capabilities, customer relationships, and
international presence for several years now. And we are increasingly seeing these investments
translate into growth, profitability, and cash generation.
Europe has been a strategic highlight of the quarter. UK and Europe delivered the highest ever
quarterly revenue of INR356 crores, growing 74.7% year-on-year. Over the last several months
in Europe, we have moved from our primary existing channels to building our own front-end
presence across key regulated markets.
During the quarter, we completed the acquisition of QliniQ B.V in Netherlands, which
contributed approximately INR44 crores of revenue in Q1. Even excluding this contribution, the
region grew strongly by 53.1% year-on-year. We then completed the acquisition of ABCnow
GmbH, Germany with consolidation commencing from Q2.
Alongside these acquisitions, we have established Marksans Pharma Europe in Ireland and
Marksans Pharma GmbH in Germany. Europe is becoming an important new growth market for
Marksans, and we remain focused on progressively scaling our presence across the region.
Talking about our other key regions, in North America, we delivered INR377 crores of revenue,
growing 15.1% year-on-year. This quarter saw a softer demand through the summer months, in

line with the normal seasonal pattern. Price erosion in our Rx portfolio remained in single digits,
and in the coming quarters, we expect momentum to strengthen. We have also established our
presence in Canada with product filings underway.
In Australia and New Zealand, we delivered INR88 crores of revenue, up 53.7% year-on-year.
This was in line with our normal seasonal pattern, following a particularly strong fourth quarter
during the Southern Hemisphere winter. The underlying business remains healthy, and we
expect momentum to build as we move through the year.
The improvement in the company's profitability is equally encouraging. The benefits of
operating platform we have been building over the last several years are increasingly visible in
our profitability. Our focus for the rest of FY27 is clear. Carry this momentum forward, scale
across geographies, accelerate new product launches, build out the European market, and
continue improving the profitability and cash generating ability of the business.
We remain disciplined in how we allocate capital and selective about our inorganic
opportunities. We remain confident about creating a business that is scalable, resilient, and
positioned to deliver sustainable long-term value for all our stakeholders.
With this, I hand it over to Jitendra, who will take you through the financial performance in
detail.
Jitendra Sharma: Thank you, sir. Good afternoon, everyone. Let me take you through the financial performance
for Q1 FY27. Operating revenue for Q1 FY27 stood at INR840.8 crores, up 35.6% year-on-year
from INR620 crores in Q1 of FY26.
North America remained our largest market, contributing INR377 crores, up 15.1% year-on-
year and accounting for approximately 45% of consolidated revenue. UK and Europe delivered
INR356 crores, representing 74.7% year-on-year growth and approximately 42% of
consolidated revenue. This was the highest ever quarterly revenue for the region. Europe also
began contributing meaningfully during the quarter, following the acquisition and consolidation
of QliniQ, while the underlying UK business continued to show strong momentum.
Australia and New Zealand delivered INR88 crores, up 53.7% year-on-year. The sequential
moderation was in line with the normal seasonal pattern following a particularly strong fourth
quarter. The underlying business remains healthy and we expect momentum to build as we move
through the year. Rest of World contributed INR20 crores during the quarter.
Gross profit stood at INR497.3 crores, up 38.9% year-on-year from INR358.2 crores. While
gross margin improved to 59.1% from 57.8%, an expansion of 138 basis points. Sequentially,
