Revenue guidance

Category 3

→FY27 growth expected primarily from Phase 1 of Unit 3 and premium excipient product range launched in H2 FY26.
→Phase 2 of Unit 3 expected to go commercial by March 2027, adding further manufacturing revenue.
→Trading volumes currently elevated to retain customer base; expected to reduce once Phase 1 and Phase 2 capacities fully utilized.
→Revenue from Phase 1 anticipated around ₹340-350 crore by end of FY27 but not at peak capacity in first year.
→Export revenue share likely to increase due to premium products and MCC Spheres production targeting global markets.
→Gradual increase in premium product revenue share expected, reaching ~16-17% in FY27 from 13% in FY26.
→Working capital and borrowings unlikely to increase substantially; funding mainly through rights issue and internal accruals for scaling.
→Longer-term growth driven by subsequent phases (up to Phase 6) funded internally without major debt.

Category 1

→Management refrained from giving precise forward-looking guidance on profit margins or earnings, citing the premature nature of such forecasts (Page 13).
→Blended profit margins are expected to improve by around 2-3 percentage points with commercialization of more premium range products (Page 13).
→EBITDA margins are anticipated to increase post the commissioning of Phase 2 capacity (Page 13).
→Trading volumes, which currently depress margins, are expected to reduce substantially after Phase 1 and Phase 2 become fully operational, potentially improving profitability (Pages 10, 13).
→Revenue growth is to be driven primarily by Phase 1; peak manufacturing revenue from Phase 1 is projected around Rs. 150-160 crore per annum but actual capacity utilization ramp-up will be gradual (Page 10).
→No quantified revenue or EPS guidance was provided for FY27-29; management will share installed capacities but not revenue figures (Page 13).
→Working capital and borrowings are expected to remain stable without significant increase, supporting financial health (Pages 17, 26).
