Piramal Pharma Targets Mid-Teen Revenue Growth in FY27, Focuses on Organic Expansion

Piramal Pharma has projected mid-teen revenue growth for FY27, driven by healthy demand across its Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CDMO), Complex Hospital Generics (CHG) and Consumer Healthcare businesses. The company also expects profitability to improve further as higher capacity utilisation and operating leverage support margins. While the business continues to perform well, the company said it will focus on organic growth rather than acquisitions.

Piramal Pharma Q1 FY27 Performance

Piramal Pharma reported a strong start to FY27, with consolidated revenue rising 17% year-on-year to ₹2,270 crore during the April–June quarter.

The company also posted a 72% increase in EBITDA to ₹285 crore, while its EBITDA margin improved to 12.5%, compared with 8.5% in the same quarter last year.

Although Piramal Pharma reported a net loss of ₹69 crore during the quarter, it was lower than the ₹102 crore loss reported a year earlier before exceptional items, reflecting improved operational performance despite higher depreciation and tax expenses.

Company Expects Better Profitability in FY27

Chairperson Nandini Piramal said the company entered the new quarter with strong business momentum.

She explained that as revenue continues to grow, profitability is expected to improve at a faster pace due to better operating leverage and higher capacity utilisation.

The company has maintained its guidance of mid-teen revenue growth for FY27, with EBITDA expected to grow faster than revenue and profit after tax improving significantly during the year.

All Business Segments Delivered Healthy Growth

Piramal Pharma said all 3 of its business segments recorded mid- to high-teen growth during the quarter.

CDMO Business Continues to Lead

The CDMO business, which contributes more than half of the company's revenue, grew 19% year-on-year to ₹1,187 crore.

The company attributed the growth to:

• Improved biopharma funding in the US
• Strong demand across domestic and international markets
• Better commercial execution after expanding its business development team 

The management added that although customer demand remains healthy, decision-making timelines continue to be longer than usual.

Expansion Plans Remain on Track

Piramal Pharma continues to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities.

The company recently commissioned a commercial-scale payload-linker facility at its Riverview plant in the US. It is also progressing with the expansion of its sterile injectable facility at Lexington, which is expected to become operational in late 2027.

In the peptides segment, the company is focusing on contract manufacturing rather than large-scale GLP-1 opportunities. Its peptide manufacturing facility in Navi Mumbai is witnessing healthy demand for specialised peptide products.

Focus Remains on Organic Growth

Despite improving financial performance, the company said it is not actively looking for acquisitions.

Instead, Piramal Pharma plans to invest in organic growth and greenfield expansion to increase capacity and strengthen its existing businesses.

Complex Hospital Generics and Consumer Healthcare

In the Complex Hospital Generics business, the company expects commercial supplies of Kenalog to begin from the second quarter of FY27 as regulatory approvals are completed across various markets.

Tariff Risks Remain Limited

Commenting on potential tariff-related risks in the US, the company said its major products are relatively protected because both the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and finished formulations are manufactured in the United States.

However, some raw materials are still sourced from India and China, which could expose the company to limited supply chain risks if trade policies change.
