✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Cohance Lifesciences reported a weak Q3 FY26 with consolidated revenue declining 19.5% YoY to ₹545 crore, impacted by destocking in two large commercial products (~₹260 crore impact), the Nacharam facility warning letter (~₹55 crore deferral), and muted biotech demand. Adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 15.6% (standalone ~19%) due to unfavorable mix and operating deleverage. Management revised FY26 revenue guidance to an early-to-mid double-digit decline. Positives include a robust late-stage pipeline (9 phase 3 molecules, 4 expected commercial in FY27), strong RFP activity, and new customer wins. However, near-term visibility remains low as customer inventory normalization and patent expiry headwinds persist. Risk: Further downside if commercial ramp-up delays extend beyond current expectations.
