The company continued its trajectory of profitable growth and margin expansion, driven by pricing measures, focused investments in innovative therapies, improved field force productivity, AI-led optimisation, and disciplined cost management. Full year revenue stood at INR 3790 crores, a growth of 2%, while Profit After Tax (PAT) increased by 10% to INR 1012 crores and EBITDA margins expanded by 290 basis points to 34%. For the quarter ending 31st March 2026, revenue stood at INR 989 crores and PAT at INR 275 crores, with Q4 EBITDA margins improving by 90 basis points to 35%.

Financial Highlights

The company's financial performance reflected disciplined cost management alongside revenue growth. The standalone and consolidated financials are summarised below:

The company also noted that supply chain disruptions during the year constrained the availability of certain key products, leading to a material impact on topline growth. These challenges have accelerated efforts to strengthen supply chain resilience through enhanced contingency planning, diversified sourcing, and improved end-to-end visibility. On the labour front, the Government of India notified four Labour Codes consolidating 29 existing labour laws, which resulted in an increase of Rs. 1182 lakhs in Employee Benefits expense for the year ended 31st March 2026, primarily due to a change in wage definition.

Portfolio Performance Highlights

The General Medicines portfolio delivered competitive performance during the quarter, with the top 4 promoted brands growing ahead of the market (Evolution Index >100; Source: IQVIA). Key promoted brands such as Augmentin, Calpol, and T-Bact continued to reinforce their leadership positions in their respective categories, while the tail-end distributed portfolio saw significant headwinds. The Vaccines business grew on strong demand and continued leadership in the self-pay private paediatric vaccines market. Shingrix achieved critical mass with 55k prescriptions, reflecting 56% year-on-year growth, as increasing awareness of preventive healthcare and adult immunisation translated into positive outcomes.

The Oncology business, led by specialised therapies Jemperli (dostarlimab) and Zejula (niraparib), tracked strongly during the year. A key milestone was Jemperli's first-line approval by Indian regulators for primary advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer, significantly expanding the eligible patient population. The innovative portfolio contributed 6% to total sales in Q4. Additionally, the company received market authorisation in India for Blenrep (belantamab mafodotin), an anti-BCMA ADC therapy indicated for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in adults. Multiple myeloma is the third most common blood cancer globally, with approximately 180,000 new cases a year. Launch plans will be announced at an appropriate time.
