Piramal Pharma Limited Announces Results for Q4 and Full-year FY26

PRNewswire
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 29: Piramal Pharma Limited (NSE: PPLPHARMA | BSE: 543635), a leading global pharmaceutical, health and wellness company, today announced its standalone and consolidated results for the Fourth Quarter (Q4) and Full-year ended 31st March 2026.

1. During the quarter, the management has recognized an impairment loss of ₹. 176Cr in relation to intangible assets under development. Based on a reassessment incorporating changes in market conditions and updated commercial viability estimates, management concluded that the probable future economic benefits from the asset are no longer expected to be adequate to justify further capital deployment. Accordingly, the carrying amount has been written down in full.
Key Highlights
- Revenue - Growth was impacted by inventory destocking, slower early-stage order inflows in H1FY26, and softer traction in inhalation anesthesia across ex-US markets. Adjusted for inventory destocking, we delivered YoY growth in Q4 and FY26.
- EBITDA Margin - Despite lower revenues, impact on EBITDA was partly offset by our efforts towards cost optimization and operational excellence.
- Capex - US$94Mn invested in FY26 across growth and maintenance projects. Lexington and Riverview expansions on track. Seeing good customer interest.
- Net Debt - No increase over FY25.
Nandini Piramal, Chairperson, Piramal Pharma Limited said, "FY26 was a transitional year, shaped by external disruptions and certain business-specific factors. Despite these challenges, we exited the year on a stronger note, with clear momentum across all our businesses. The meaningful recovery in biopharma funding seen from Sep'25, is translating into good RFP momentum and healthy pick up in order inflows in our CDMO business. In the CHG business, the recently completed Kenalog® acquisition alongside ramp up of inhalation anesthesia sales in ex-US markets are expected to be key growth drivers. Our Consumer Healthcare business is also well positioned to sustain its growth momentum with margin improvement driven by Power Brands and rapid growth in e-commerce.
Overall, all three businesses are well positioned to deliver growth in FY27, accompanied by accelerated growth in EBITDA and PAT."
