Last updated:

Laurus Labs presented a strong outlook during its Q1 FY '26 earnings call, highlighting significant advancements and growth in various segments. Management emphasized a strategic focus on the CDMO business, which achieved impressive revenues of INR 493 crores, driven by mid- to late-stage new chemical entity (NCE) deliveries and expanded manufacturing assets.

  3. Margin Expansion: Gross margins improved to approximately 59%, with EBITDA margins rising to 25%, up by 10.5 percentage points compared to the previous year. Management expects gross margins to stabilize between 55-60%, supported by the growing share of CDMO.

  4. Capacity Enhancements: Plans include constructing a 400 kiloliter fermentation facility in Vizag, expected to commence operations by the end of 2026, expanding the capacity to address complex molecules, including peptides.

  5. Regulatory and Market Readiness: The company successfully navigated 39 quality audits without critical findings, underpinning the strength of its operational framework and positioning for future growth.

Q1 FY'26 Earnings Conference Call Q&A Summary

  1. Question: Can we expect the current high gross margin of around 59.5% to be maintained as the share of CDMO increases?
    Answer: Given our history, we anticipate gross margins to remain between 55% to 60% as CDMO contributions grow, rather than considering it a one-off occurrence.

  2. Question: Do you foresee H2 performance being better than H1 for the CDMO segment this year?
    Answer: While we expect growth over last year, the CDMO business can be inconsistent quarter-to-quarter due to clinical program dependencies.

  3. Question: What is the status of Laurus' participation in the upcoming Global Fund tender?
    Answer: The tender process typically starts later in the year, and we expect to secure a substantial share based on our previous success.

  4. Question: What progress has been made regarding the food protein fermentation facilities?
    Answer: We're constructing a 400 kiloliter capacity in Vizag, with plans for future phases, focusing on various proteins including for food and cosmetics.

  5. Question: What is the market's response to the ImmunoACT CAR-T therapy?
    Answer: We're seeing interest from international patients, and partnerships with Big Pharma will further our global presence in this therapy.

  6. Question: Any updates on the viral vector facility for gene therapy?
    Answer: We have shifted our facility plans to Hyderabad, expanding to a 6000 square meter site, which will also accommodate capabilities for antibody-drug conjugates.

  7. Question: How do you envision the product mix changing in the next five years?
    Answer: We believe CDMO could contribute up to 50% of our revenues as we expand capacity and capabilities across human health, animal health, and crop sciences.

  8. Question: What led to the notable gross margin improvement?
    Answer: The gross margin improvements stem from a strong performance in CDMO and product mix shifts rather than a significant change in business structure.

  9. Question: Will there be significant revenue contributions from the crop sciences segment soon?
    Answer: We anticipate meaningful revenues in crop sciences next financial year, as current contributions are minimal.

  10. Question: Any insights on the pricing challenges for Laurus Bio?
    Answer: The pricing model in Bio is transitioning from monthly fees for reactor usage to per-kilogram billing as products stabilize post-trial phases.

This provides a concise overview of the key questions and answers from the conference call.
