However, the value of US biotech funding has seen a marked improvement in the first half of 2024. It will take a while for this funding to flow through into outsourcing activities and Syngene is in a strong position to capture a significant share of the upturn in biotech spending in the months ahead.” Sibaji Biswas, Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer, Syngene International added, “The current industry dynamics, particularly the geopolitical shifts, present a substantial opportunity for our organization. We continue to generate strong cash flows and our balance sheet is robust. We are investing in technology and capabilities that will position us favorably to leverage the opportunity and capture an increased market share. Based on the current dynamics, we are on track to hit our guidance range for the year with momentum expected to build in the second half of the year.” Result PDF
