  • Phase 2 of Unit 4 is planned but no guidance was provided; it is expected to be of a similar scale to Phase 1.

Strategic Focus and Future Outlook

  • Management expressed confidence in sustaining double-digit growth and industry-leading margins for the full year.
  • The company is focusing on new technology areas: oligonucleotides, lipids, ADCs, peptides, and RNAi. Early-stage work is significant in these areas, though quantifying their future revenue contribution (e.g., by FY31) was deemed difficult.
  • Investments are being made in expanding capabilities, including biologics manufacturing, drug product (fill-finish), and cybersecurity.
  • The go-to-market strategy in the U.S., involving a partnership, provides advantages in sales, logistics, and customer support.
  • The biotech funding environment was described as a "mixed bag," leading to better RFP inflows but also geopolitical uncertainty.
