Natco Pharma reported consolidated Q1 FY27 revenue of ₹794.4 Cr (down from ₹1,390.6 Cr in Q1 FY26) due to the expected decline in Lenalidomide sales, with PAT standing at ₹206.5 Cr.

Brazil business surged 180% YoY to ₹178 Cr, while domestic formulations grew to ₹136 Cr boosted by Semaglutide traction.

Net profit stood at ₹206.5 Cr, supported by a ₹84.3 Cr profit share from its South African associate, Adcock Ingram.

Confidence: HIGH
What changedNatco Pharma released its Q1 FY27 earnings, showing a sharp YoY decline in revenue and profit but a sequential recovery in operating margins.

Natco Pharma Q1 PAT drops 57% to ₹206.5 Cr; Board proposes ₹2000 Cr fundraise
Natco Pharma reported a sharp decline in Q1 FY27 performance, with consolidated revenue falling 43% YoY to ₹794.4 Cr and PAT dropping 57% to ₹206.5 Cr. The decline is primarily attributed to lower revenue from Lenalidomide (gRevlimid) in the international formulations segment, which fell from ₹1,120.9 Cr to ₹477.1 Cr. To support future growth, the board has approved exploring a fundraise of up to ₹2,000 Cr, representing approximately 12.5% of its current market capitalization. An interim dividend of ₹1.50 per share was also declared.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedNatco has entered a period of significant earnings contraction as gRevlimid revenues moderate, while simultaneously seeking a large capital infusion of ₹2,000 Cr.
Why it mattersThe results confirm the high dependency on gRevlimid profit-sharing; the proposed fundraise suggests the company is preparing for a major acquisition or significant capital expenditure to replace lost earnings.

Natco Pharma FY26 PAT at INR 1,418.5 Cr; Guides for Muted INR 700-750 Cr PAT in FY27
Natco Pharma reported a decline in FY26 performance with consolidated revenue of INR 4,375.9 crores and PAT of INR 1,418.5 crores, primarily due to the tapering impact of Revlimid. The company provided a cautious guidance for FY27, expecting a PAT of INR 700-750 crores as it transitions through a base year without major exclusivities. However, management remains optimistic about FY28 onwards, targeting 15-25% compounding growth driven by a strong pipeline in the US, Brazil, and Canada. The company maintains a strong cash position of INR 2,400 crores, which it plans to deploy for potential M&A activities.
Key Highlights
FY26 consolidated revenue decreased to INR 4,375.9 crores from INR 4,784 crores in the previous year.
Management guided for a significantly lower FY27 PAT of INR 700-750 crores on revenues of INR 3,400-3,500 crores.
Net cash on the balance sheet stands at approximately INR 2,400 crores, earmarked for 1-2 large acquisitions.
Growth is expected to rebound from FY28 with 15-25% CAGR driven by new product exclusivities.
Q4 FY26 PAT included a one-time tax benefit of INR 115 crores due to the shift to a new tax regime.
👀 What to Watch
Investors should prepare for a muted FY27 as the company resets its earnings base following the Revlimid windfall. The primary triggers to watch are the deployment of the INR 2,400 crore cash reserve for M&A and the launch of new exclusivities starting FY28.
