Management Comments :

Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Satyanarayana Chava stated “Laurus Lab`s performance in the first quarter of the current financial year reflects our efforts towards strengthening and diversifying our business by an increased focus on Non-ARV APIs and Formulations and high-growth CDMO segments. This strong momentum has been delivered because of our efforts toward a sustainable supply chain, capacity creation, and on-time delivery of products during the current challenging environment. Pricing pressure in ARV APIs and the Formulation business was significant during this quarter, and ARV FDF volumes would increase in the coming quarters. The high-margin CDMO business growth helped the organization deliver very good revenue and profit.

V V Ravi Kumar, ED & Chief Financial Officer said; “In Q1 FY23, Laurus Lab has continued its strong performance with 20% revenue growth to ? 1,539 crs, driven by solid growth in our CDMO-Synthesis business. EBITDA came at ? 454 crs with consistent EBITDA margins of 29.5% as better mix more than offset for depressed pricing in ARV business. Our ROCE on annualised basis stood healthy ~29.4% with comfortable Balance sheet position. In Q1, Laurus Lab invested a total of ? 209 crs Capex and we are on track to execute on our future capex schedule”.
