  • EBITDA: ₹1,233 million for Q1 FY27, representing 39% year-on-year growth and 34% sequential growth from Q4 FY26
  • FY28 Guidance: Reiterated outlook of $400 million organic revenue with 40% EBITDA margins

Operational Highlights

Drug Device Combination (DDC) Business:

  • Successful commercial launch of semaglutide in Canada, described as the "largest off-patent market available today in the world"
  • All three approvals in the Canadian market are with OneSource partners, with two partners already launched
  • In India, more than 40% of generic pens market sold as of June 26, 2026, are manufactured at OneSource's site
  • Despite temporary disruption in supplies from Dr. Reddy's, available capacities remain full due to diverse customer base

Capacity Expansion:

  • Second cartridge line set for commercialization in Q2 FY27, which will double sterile days available for production
  • This additional capacity will support supplies to Dr. Reddy's upon resumption and multiple countries opening throughout the year
  • Third line to be installed within FY27, making OneSource "one of the very few global CDMOs offering this level of capacity"
  • First new GLP customer came on board last quarter, with more customers to be added as capacity constraints ease

Biologics Business:

  • Added marquee global biotech major Formycon as a customer, combining their biosimilar development expertise with OneSource's integrated manufacturing capabilities
  • RFP funnel is "almost 4x of what it was just over a year ago" spanning innovators, biosimilars, and animal health companies
  • Biologics described as a "long gestation business" but "very sticky" with significant contribution expected beyond FY28

Base Business Performance:

  • Injectables: Focused on scarcity play including penicillin manufacturing and products on FDA shortage list
  • Soft Gelatin: Capacity increased from 800 million to 2.4 billion capsules; transitioning from captive to CDMO services
  • Nine new launches and six new logos added during the quarter across businesses

Compliance Track Record:

  • 12 successful inspections this quarter across regulatory inspections and customer audits
  • Included two surprise FDA audits across two sites

Strategic Updates

  • Soft gelatin business: Planning greenfield expansion as current site has "no possibility to increase capacity further"
  • Injectable business: Adding pre-filled syringes capability and significantly expanding lyophilization capacities
  • Shutdown planned for Q2 FY27 at one sterile injectable site to add new capacity
  • Biologics capacity expansion planned for both mammalian and microbial capabilities based on pipeline visibility

Capex Details

  • Previously announced $100 million capex program across sites, with 80% already committed
  • Most capex allocated to drug device combination business
  • Additional biologics expansion capex expected to be "significantly lower" than DDC investment

Market Commentary

  • Weight loss drug market: Constraint is supply, not demand, with "demand significantly outpacing supply"
  • Geopolitical impact: Suez and Strait of Hormuz closures affecting freight times and costs, but muted impact due to ex-works contracts
  • US tariff announcements: Viewed as unlikely to cause "long-term harm" based on administration's history of changes and backdowns

Forward-Looking Statements

Management expressed confidence in achieving FY28 guidance based on:

  • Diverse customer base across multiple markets
  • New capacity coming online throughout FY27
  • Strong pipeline conversion in biologics business
  • Base business seasonality (soft gelatin typically H2 heavy)
  • Growth expected to continue beyond FY28 driven by all business modalities
