Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
The US and North America segment grew 28.8% YoY in H1 FY26, reaching INR 714.8 Cr. The OTC segment overall has shown significant growth, crossing the INR 2,000 Cr revenue mark in FY25, representing a 4.6x growth since 2017. UK and EU formulation recorded revenue of INR 245 Cr in Q2 FY26, while Australia and New Zealand recorded INR 61.3 Cr.
Geographic Revenue Split
As of H1 FY26, the US and North America market is the largest contributor at 53% (INR 714.8 Cr), followed by the UK and EU market at 34% (INR 449 Cr). Australia and New Zealand and the Rest of the World (RoW) contribute the remaining 13%.
Profitability Margins
Gross margins stood at 57.2% in Q2 FY26, a decline of 258 bps YoY from 59.7% due to product mix and pricing pressure in the UK. Net Profit Margin for Q2 FY26 was 13.4%, down 161 bps YoY. For FY25, the consolidated Net Profit margin was 14.59%.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin for Q2 FY26 was 20.1%, a decrease of 108 bps YoY but an improvement of 391 bps QoQ due to operating leverage. H1 FY26 EBITDA margin was 18.2%, down 318 bps YoY, reflecting higher employee expenses at the newly acquired Unit 2 and elevated freight costs.
Capital Expenditure
The company is doubling its low-cost manufacturing capacity in India from 8 billion to 16 billion units. Total manufacturing capacity has already increased from 6 billion units p.a. in 2017 to 26 billion units p.a. following the acquisition of the Teva facility in Goa.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
Long-term bank facilities (INR 135 Cr) were upgraded to CARE AA-; Stable from CARE A+; Positive in October 2025. Short-term bank facilities (INR 120.75 Cr) were reaffirmed at CARE A1+. The company maintains a comfortable solvency position with an overall gearing of 0.12x as of March 31, 2024.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Specific API names are not disclosed, but Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) represented 43.6% of total revenue in FY25, amounting to INR 1,143.74 Cr, an increase of 10.17% YoY.
Capacity Expansion
Current total manufacturing capacity is 26 billion units p.a. Planned expansion involves doubling the India-based low-cost capacity from 8 billion to 16 billion units to support the goal of reaching INR 3,000 Cr revenue.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs (COGS) were INR 1,143.74 Cr in FY25. While COGS increased by 10.17%, this was lower than the 20.46% revenue growth, indicating efficient procurement or better product mix during that period.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Operating leverage is a key driver, with EBITDA margins improving sequentially by 391 bps in Q2 FY26 as the Teva facility (Unit 2) ramps up production and revenue grows.
Logistics & Distribution
Freight costs are noted as 'elevated' due to the Red Sea crisis, impacting the PBILDT margins in recent quarters.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
20%

Competitive Landscape
Faces competition from established players in new geographic markets; mitigated by R&D and a diversified product portfolio of 1,500+ SKUs.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on low-cost manufacturing at scale (26 bn units), a diversified geographic presence (US, UK, Australia), and a strong track record of successful acquisitions and regulatory compliance.
Macro Economic Sensitivity

Consumer Behavior
Robust demand in key markets for digestive and pain management products is driving sequential revenue growth of 16% in Q2 FY26.
Geopolitical Risks
The Red Sea crisis is specifically cited as a factor elevating freight costs and impacting margins.
Regulatory & Governance

Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties

High concentration in the US and UK, which together account for 87% of H1 FY26 revenue.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Mitigated by robust R&D efforts and maintaining relationships with international organizations to stay updated on pharmaceutical technology trends.

Receivables management is stable with a debtors' turnover of 143 days. The company has maintained a cash-positive balance sheet for over 5 years.
