💊The business faced headwinds during the quarter, mainly from a drop in exports of nutraceutical products in ROW markets. There is a shortage of US currency in a lot of the markets and the company has decided to not ship the product until they receive the advance.
💊Exports made up 80% of revenues during the quarter. They also saw a shift in a big order for PFI from Q1 to Q2. They see faster recovery in the export market for Pharmaceuticals than Nutraceuticals.
💊During the quarter, they filed 20 dossiers of New Innovative Products (NIP) across Pharmerging and RoW markets.
💊They received the first revenue from Oral Thin Films (OTF) during the quarter. Apart from Europe, they have filed 6 dossiers in the Pharmerging and ROW markets. They also received 5 Marketing Authorizations in the Pharmerging and ROW markets during the quarter.
💊In Q1 FY24, they spent ₹5.3 Cr for R&D which is approximately 8% of revenue.
💊They added ₹18.1 Cr to their Gross Block in Q1 FY24. This was mainly from construction of a new warehouse, enhancing manufacturing facilities and optimization of products.
💊The current contribution of domestic OTF sales is less than 5% of revenues. They are not getting the required margins in the Indian market for these products. So they have shifted their focus to Europe and a majority of the future growth will come from there.

💉Revenue for the quarter was at ₹320.8 Cr (28.9% growth) YoY. EBITDA Margin for the quarter was at 27.2% for the quarter which is up 851 bps YoY. PAT Margin was at 19.5% which was up 871 bps YoY.
💉The reason for the improvement in margins is because in Q1 last year, RM prices were very volatile and shipping costs were at peak. But now, these costs have come down significantly along with an increase in revenue from export markets which has caused margins to expand.
