2-Min Summary
Advanced Enzyme delivered a record quarter with revenue of ₹203.4 crore (+22% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹63.2 crore (+39% YoY), driven by strong volume growth in human healthcare (up 24% YoY) and biocatalysis. PAT surged 69% YoY to ₹45.3 crore, with margins steady at 31%. The India business grew ~50% YoY, while US remained soft due to tariff uncertainty and inflation. Management expects double-digit growth in FY27, supported by new R&D facility operational in H2, EU approval for an anti-inflammatory product, and capacity expansion plans. Key risk: US tariff and inflation headwinds could pressure margins and delay recovery.
