Alivus Life Q1 FY27
What went well
- Revenue from operations grew 6.4% YoY to INR640 crores, driven by strong non-GPL performance.
- Gross margins expanded by 510 bps YoY to 60.2%, supported by favorable product mix and new launches.
- EBITDA margin improved by 650 bps YoY to 36.6%, reaching INR234 crores, reflecting operational efficiencies and forex gains.
What to watch
- GPL business saw a significant decline of 52.6% year-on-year due to inventory rationalization.
- The war situation has made management cautious about raw material prices and their impact on margins.
