Full analysisRevenue guidance
Category 3- The core CRAMS business is in a growth phase and expected to grow around 10%-15% yearly.
- Growth depends heavily on the success and progression of clinical trials for molecules in development.
- There is an emphasis on transitioning molecules from Phase-1 to Phase-2 and later to Phase-3, with more activity expected from Phase-2 to Phase-3 over time.
- The number of molecules in development has been reduced, focusing on fewer but more promising candidates, leading to better traction and continuation through clinical phases.
- The company expects stability within next two to four quarters by securing raw material supplies despite current shortages.
- Specialty CRAMS business is expected to remain flat, growing around 5%.
- Commercial product revenues are anticipated to be around Rs. 60-90 crore yearly.
- Out-licensing opportunities depend on positive clinical trial data, potentially driving significant growth.
