Geographic Revenue Split
98% of total revenues are derived from overseas markets, with the US market alone accounting for 61% of FY25 revenues. Other key regions include Europe and Japan.
Profitability Margins
Reported PAT margin for Q2 FY26 was 7% (INR 67 Cr), a significant decline from the previous year. FY25 PAT before exceptional items was INR 474.9 Cr, down 8% YoY from INR 518.6 Cr in FY24.

Competitive Landscape
Faces competition from global CROs, domestic players, and captive R&D centers of large pharma companies.

Highly sensitive to US Biotech funding cycles and global pharmaceutical R&D spending trends.
Consumer Behavior

Geopolitical Risks
Exposure to US-China trade shifts (China switchers) provides an opportunity, while 61% revenue concentration in the US poses a geographic risk.
