Our APIs business segment was marginally impacted whereas our formulation segment has reasonably grown on a nine months basis as compared to 9M FY21. Our Equity shares are now also quoted on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) from November 2021 onwards. We are happy to announce that we commenced the commercial production of APIs from the acquired Unit at Plot No T-30, MIDC, Tarapur, Maharashtra January, 2022 and expect this unit to incrementally contribute from this quarter i.e. Q4 of FY 22. One of the key challenges faced by the pharma sector in the 2nd half of FY22 is that of increasing prices of raw materials due to production abruptions in China.. BHL’s policy of maintaining increased inventory enabled us to earn better EBITDA margins. API segment revenues degrown by around 7% on a YoY (9 months) basis on account of weak performance & growth from our leading APIs. Formulation segment revenues grew by around 23% on a YoY (9 months) basis on the account of business from our existing clients and addition of few new clients. As the third wave of COVID-19 hits our nation and all other countries globally, we are seeing a rise in the demand of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) & CH Base, which has very wide applications in medical, nutritional and sanitization based products. With the commencement of commercial production of the APIsfrom the acquired units, we expect to see significant improvement in our revenues and profitability in the coming quarters & years coupled with new product launches. Our expectations from the acquired assets on an optimum utilization basis would be upwards of INR 4,000 mn in the coming years. Consequently, we hope to generate healthy cash flow. We would like to assure that we are committed to deliver well in line with our guidance and market expectations on the basis of our strategic initiatives" Result PDF
