The domestic business delivered resilient performance with revenue up 5.2% YoY to ₹977 Cr, though performance was softer largely due to the Zuventus portfolio and team reorganisation.

However, currency headwinds remain a notable consideration, with international markets expected to face a 7% to 8% currency impact overall, while Europe is anticipated to experience a more pronounced impact of 11% to 12%.

Strategic Highlights and Pipeline Progress
FY26 marked the first year of Emcure Pharmaceuticals' five-year strategic roadmap, with the company achieving several key milestones. The domestic business expanded its portfolio through strategic partnerships, including a tie-up with Novo Nordisk to market Poviztra®, a semaglutide brand for obesity and related comorbidities, an expanded partnership with Sanofi integrating oral anti-diabetic products Amaryl and Cetapin, and an agreement with Roche to distribute key brands for chronic kidney disease (CKD), anaemia management, and transplant care from Q1 FY27. On the R&D and pipeline front, Biosimilar Bevacizumab for wet AMD received an endorsement from CDSCO's Subject Expert Committee, and a Drug Master File (DMF) was filed for HIV treatment Lenacapavir, with product registration expected in FY27. Amphotericin B continues to be a significant near-term opportunity, with a meaningful contribution expected in FY27.
On the corporate actions front, the company completed the full consolidation of Zuventus Healthcare Limited through a minority stake buyout, making it a wholly owned subsidiary effective October 3, 2025. In Canada, Mantra Pharma Inc. acquired 100% of Cutimed Inc. for up to CAD 5.05 million (₹337.54 million) through a short-form amalgamation under Québec law, enhancing the group's Canadian dermatology and cosmetic portfolio. Regarding the Mantra Pharma contingent consideration, the former shareholders opted for redemption based on FY26 performance; the contingent consideration related to preferred shares, initially estimated at CAD 44.22 million (₹2,689.90 million), will be redeemed by July 2026 at CAD 50.23 million (₹3,357.69 million), with an incremental true-up cost of CAD 6.70 million (₹428.64 million) recognised during Q4 FY26.
