 Key Highlights for Q3 and 9M FY26

  • Revenue growth in Q3/9M FY26 was impacted by inventory destocking in one large on-patent commercial product by customer, slower early-stage order inflows in H1FY26 due to inconsistent recovery in US biopharma funding along with uncertainties on global trade policies, and regulatory delays in inhalation anesthesia for ex-US markets from Digwal facility.
  • EBITDA Margin – Despite lower revenues, impact on EBITDA was partly offset by our efforts towards cost optimization and operational excellence.
  • Seeing significant pick-up in RFPs with early signs of recovery in order inflows since October 2025 on the back of improved biopharma funding and increased M&A activities in the US.
  • Growth Capex – US$ 90Mn investment to expand Lexington and Riverview facilities, on Seeing good customer interest.

Nandini Piramal, Chairperson, Piramal Pharma Limited said, “FY26 has been a muted year for the Company due to impact of inventory destocking and slower early-stage order inflows in H1FY26 in our CDMO business. However, in recent time, we are seeing early signs of recovery with pick-up in RFPs and order inflows on the back of improved biopharma funding and increased M&A activities in the US healthcare space. In our CHG business, we are investing in new products and expanding our presence in the ex-US markets. Acquiring niche brand like Kenalog, which is synergetic to our current business, is an important step in this direction. Our consumer business continues to outperform in its representative markets with robust growth in our power brands.

Despite the slower growth in FY26, we continue to believe in long term growth prospects of our businesses and back them with timely investments in capacities and capabilities. Q4 has been historically the strongest quarter for the Company, and we expect this trend to continue this year as well.”
