Are APIs/intermediates subject to US tariffs?

We don't make APIs, we do intermediates and they are right now not part of the tariffs that are being talked about. As far as we are aware, pharma is exempt and right now we are exempt from any tariff discussion.

If tariffs apply, who bears the cost?

Most of our current agreements with the customers are on FOB basis we do not have the liability to pay the tariff when the goods reach the shore of US.

Will Cohance explore mAb manufacturing?

Our focus is to grow with customer and invest with customers. We haven't seen much need and desire actually for customer to really partner with us on that space. Right now we're not looking any mAb capabilities to acquire and invest.

The destocking that you referred to is specific to few products. It's related to two large commercial molecules that we are experiencing the destocking right now.

How does oligo expansion enhance capabilities?

Our starting point of oligo is predominantly research-driven and the important requirement for us is to have cGMP capabilities. We have figured out nucleotides is one modality subsegment they are looking for. This is the first step of our business progression.

How will NJ Bio expand to commercial scale conjugation?

We have facility available very close to Princeton and NJ Bio which can be converted at a very fast pace to build commercial capability. It's actually a semi-built facility that is already ready in a pharma park.

Why confidence in FY26 margin guidance despite Q1 miss?

We have reiterated our guidance both for FY26 and more importantly for the FY30 or 2030 $1 billion. If you isolate the destocking, pharma CDMO has grown at around 30%. We should not interpret anything from a quarter to quarter business.

What is the organic growth and margin guidance for FY26?

For us the organic and inorganic are two sides of the same coin. It's about capital allocation. I would urge you guys to kind of think about it in the way we look at and not separating it as an organic or inorganic.

When will one-time expenses stop appearing?

It's very difficult for me to answer a question about when they can disappear. I mean I would be as interested as you that they disappear but that's the current nature of the business.
