Order book

- Vimta Labs highlighted a good demand environment, particularly in preclinical services within life sciences. - Discussions with prospective clients had slowed in FY2024, notably in Q2, but have resumed with bigger opportunity prospects. - The company is seeing conversions and good traction in newly developed services, such as large molecule capabilities. - Regulatory constraints continue to limit volumes in some segments (like NFL), and the company actively engages regulators to secure more volumes. - Overall, order pipelines, especially on the pharma side, are steady with positive signs despite funding challenges in pharma R&D. - Electronics and electrical segments are gaining strong traction though still smaller in size. - Food segment import volumes remain low but routine business shows signs of recovery. - Conversion from proof of concepts (POCs) in life sciences is encouraging with ongoing projects underway. In summary, the order pipeline is stable with some growth visibility, but regulatory and market dynamics influence volume and conversion timing.
