Notes:

1. The Financial results (standalone and consolidated) have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their meetings held on 12th February, 2025.

2. These financial results (standalone and consolidated) have been prepared in compliance with Ind AS as notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting pronouncements generally accepted in India, to the extent applicable.

3. Statutory Auditors have carried out limited review of standalone as well as consolidated financial results of the Company for the quarter and nine months ended 31st December, 2024.

4. The excess amount of consideration payable over net assets acquired had been recorded as goodwill amounting to INR 1,326.86 crores in the amalgamation held between Dishman Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Limited and Dishman Care Limited into Dishman Carbogen Amcis Limited accounted in the year 2016-17 as per the Scheme of Amalgamation approved by the Hon’ble High Court, Gujarat, which is different from Ind AS 103 “Business Combinations”. The same was represented by underlying intangible assets acquired on amalgamation and was being amortized over the period of 15 years from the Appointed Date i.e. 1st January, 2015.

The value of the Goodwill had already been reduced by Rs. 641.28 crores by March 31, 2022, the Board re-assessed the life of the Goodwill looking at the expected growth and benefits available to the Company. Taking a conservative view, considering the possible impact of COVID and the delay in clearance of EDQM observations for the Bavla site, the Board revised the useful life of goodwill to 15 years starting from 1st April 2022 instead of the remainder useful life of 7 years, with a next time frame to further re-assess the same after COVID and major regulatory clearance.

After successfully completing all major regulatory audit in last six to twelve months and the impact of COVID having phased out, the Board now expects the performance of the India business to improve and the current value of Goodwill as on 1st April, 2024 of INR 594.17 Crores as reflecting a fair value of the intangible assets for a sustainably long period. The robust outlook in the CDMO sector also supports the company’s path for growth.

Considering all above factors, Board has decided to keep the current goodwill value of INR 594.17 Crores till perpetuity i.e. 99 years considering life with effect from Janaury 1, 2015. This change in estimate of life will be applicable prospectively over the remaining useful life starting from 1st April, 2024. The goodwill will tested for impairment at the end of every financial year.

Had the goodwill not been amortized as required under Ind AS 103, the Depreciation and Amortization expense for the quarter ended 31st December, 2024, 30th September, 2024, 31st December, 2023, for the nine months ended 31st December, 2024, nine months ended 31st December, 2023 and for the year ended 31st March, 2024 would have been lower by INR 1.66 crores, INR 1.66 crores, INR 11.49 crores, INR 4.97 crores, INR 34.34 crores and INR 45.71 crores, respectively, and the Profit Before Tax for the corresponding periods would have been higher by an equivalent amount.
