Importantly, pharma’s share of overall revenue has risen from 57% in Ǫ3 FY25 to c1% in Ǫ3 FY2c, highlighting its growing contribution. EBIT from Pharmaceuticals grew 32% YoY, driven by healthy volume growth and strong traction in non-Ibuprofen APIs, which are broadening and diversifying our product portfolio.

In Chemicals, we achieved optimal capacity utilisation, reflecting improved demand and operational discipline. EBIT grew 37% YoY, supported by efficiency gains and sustained customer traction. This validates the strength of our diversified business model and the meaningful contribution of both segments.

These measures will help us sustain growth momentum, enhance competitiveness, and deliver long-term value creation for our stakeholders”
