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.”

Key Business Highlights

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
