Business Highlights

During the quarter, Syngene concluded the acquisition of the multi-modal biologics manufacturing facility from Stelis Biopharma as announced in July 2023. The acquisition of the facility was concluded at a revised gross value of Rs 617 crore, adjusted from the earlier gross value of Rs 702 crore.


Management Comments :
Jonathan Hunt, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Syngene International, said, “Overall, our 9% growth in the quarter was affected by reduced funding in the US biotech segment which impacted demand in our Discovery Services Division. Our Dedicated Centers and Development and Manufacturing Divisions performed well. We are starting to see early signs of funding levels stabilizing and industry fundamentals for pharma outsourcing remain positive for the medium-to-long term. In terms of our business strategy, we concluded the acquisition of the multi-modal biologics manufacturing facility from Stelis Biopharma Ltd and we have embarked on repurposing the facility from vaccines to biologics manufacturing in preparation for revalidation. We expect the facility to be ready for operations in the second half of fiscal year 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.”

Sibaji Biswas, Chief Financial Officer, Syngene International added, “Despite some external headwinds in the US biotech segment, general industry conditions are positive and our business model remains resilient. We will continue to invest in scientific capabilities and important enterprise projects. With strong operating cash flows, we expect these investments to be funded by internal accruals.”
