2-Min Summary
Granules India delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with revenue of ₹1,476 crore (+23% YoY), EBITDA of ₹352 crore (+40% YoY), and PAT of ₹202 crore (+33% YoY). Gross margin expanded 233bps YoY to 65.7%, driven by a favorable mix shift toward complex generics and the peptide CDMO business, which turned EBITDA-positive for the first time. Full-year revenue crossed ₹5,000 crore for the first time, growing 20% YoY. Europe revenue surged 81% YoY, now 15% of total. The Gagilapur remediation is substantially complete, with the company awaiting FDA reinspection. Guidance for FY27 includes sustained USFDA readiness, scaling of peptide CDMO, and capex of ~₹600 crore. Key risk: prolonged uncertainty in raw material and freight costs due to geopolitical tensions, which could pressure margins if price increases lag.
