We continue to grow faster than the IPM by 400 basis points, with Ajanta growing at 15% against IPM growth of 11%.
We retain our guidance of about 25% ±1% EBITDA margin for FY 2024.
We are seeing that into the high single digits, as a average, price erosion.
Our EBITDA margins expanded to 29%, reflecting our commitment to operational excellence and efficiency.
We expect the EBITDA to be around this range, ±1%, for whole of 2025.
We are rather focusing on increasing the productivity for that. That is really the focus for us for the last few years.
The year commenced on a strong note, with revenue from operations growing by 14% and margins remaining resilient despite higher expenses.
We continue to outpace the IPM and the Indian Pharmaceutical Market by 29% as per IQVIA MAT June 2025 with Ajanta delivering an impressive growth of 10% compared to IPM's 8% growth.
Our geography focus remains first, primarily India for the acquisition, and second is Asia and Africa.

We believe that the worst is behind us. Market has stabilized to a great extent.
We have completed first half of FY twenty twenty-five on a satisfactory note, with notable achievements in sales, PAT, and EBITDA.
Our faster growth is contributed mainly by volumes, which was about 1.5 times to the IPM.
We expect the EBITDA to be around this range, plus/minus 1%, for whole of FY 2025.
We remain confident to continue this growth journey with all our business shaping up as planned.
The correct metrics will be to see what is the growth we are posting year over year on the top line and the bottom line.
We are in talks with IQVIA to see how this anomaly can be taken out... I'm not too worried.
Our performance has been excellent on the back of increased volumes, price increase, and new product launches.
We are revising our full year guidance to 27% ±1% for full year financial year 2024.

We've never seen a launch of a product like this in the longest time. Already, globally, it's become, I think, what? $35-$40 billion and $25 billion each, $50 billion. And it's still growing at 25%-30%.
Our EBITDA margins have expanded to 28%. It reflects our commitment to operational excellence and efficiency.
We are basically aiming to grow at least 200 basis points, if possible, 300 basis points, faster than the IPM growth.
If the position improves or some changes happen, we should be able to deliver 28% EBITDA. If we get some tailwinds, 100 basis point improvement should be possible.
We are committed to growing the branded generic business in mid-teens, and I am pleased to share that we delivered a healthy growth of 15% during the year.
Our primary objective remains to outpace each therapeutic segment that we are present in and operate in.
The situation is very, very fluid right now to make any comment. Having said that, we have evaluated our scenario, strategy, and options.

We remain confident of maintaining EBITDA margin of 27% with a variation of ±1% in the coming year as well, while making further investment in developing our market.
