"The financial year FY26 has been another year of steady progress and disciplined execution for the Company. We have delivered strong financial performance, with sustained margins, healthy cash generation, and consistent growth across our key markets. The strength of our unique end-to-end business model is showcased clearly by the consistency of these numbers, at a larger base also. Our Emerging Markets business continues to be a reliable growth engine, driven by deep market presence, expanding product portfolios, and increasing participation in institutional channels. At the same time, we are making meaningful strides in strengthening our footprint in Regulated Markets, particularly in the United States, where Caplin Steriles is gaining scale and depth. We remain debt-free and will continue to remain so."
