Alembic Pharma Q4 FY26
What went well
- Q4 revenue of ₹1,838 crores, up 4% YoY, driven by new U.S. launches and volume-led growth in API and Animal Health.
- Full-year revenue grew 10% YoY, demonstrating resilient performance across businesses.
- Q4 EBITDA before R&D increased 8% YoY to ₹455 crores, with core margins improving to 25% from 24% in the prior year.
What to watch
- Q4 R&D spending was higher at ₹209 crores (11% of revenue) due to selective complex and peptide developments, impacting near-term profitability.
- The new U.S. branded business (Pivya) is expected to cause a margin drag of 100-150 basis points for another one to two quarters.
