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
