revenue

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- Syngene expects the single large molecule product impact to continue through FY26 Q4 and into a couple of quarters in FY27 before it plays out. - Excluding this one-off headwind, the rest of the business is growing steadily at high single-digit to low double-digit rates (constant currency). - Growth is broad-based across segments: research services (chemistry, biology, translational science, clinical) and CDMO (small and large molecules). - Capacity utilization improvements are underway in CDMO facilities in Bangalore, Mangalore, and Bayview (US), with early encouraging signs but still below expectations. - Management is focused on diversifying the business to reduce reliance on single large products and accelerating pipeline fill and capacity utilization to drive mid-to-long-term growth. - Formal guidance for FY27 will be provided after Q4 results, with qualitative confidence in improving trends. - Ongoing investments in capabilities and technologies, including AI and automation, support future growth.

margin

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

- Syngene expects the single large molecule product impact to continue into FY27 but to play out over the next few quarters. - Excluding this impact, the rest of the business is growing steadily at high single-digit to low double-digit growth in constant currency. - The company is focused on accelerating growth across both CRO and CDMO segments by strengthening pipelines and capacity utilization. - Investments continue in capabilities and capacity expansion (e.g., Bangalore biologics, Bayview US facility), digital automation, and new technologies. - Formal guidance for FY27 will be provided after Q4 results, but management is optimistic about mid-term prospects due to ongoing R&D outsourcing trends. - Operating EBITDA margins are guided at around 22-23% for FY26, with no specific margin forecast for FY27 yet. - Profit growth and EPS improvement depend on mitigating large product headwinds and ramping up diversified revenues across platforms.
