EBITDA remained strong at 12.3 per cent
Akums Drugs and Pharmaceuticals has announced its consolidated financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. The fourth quarter marked a significant rebound in performance, laying a strong foundation for continued growth and global expansion.
In Q4 FY25, Akums reported revenue of Rs 1,073 crore, reflecting a robust 12.4 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth. The company posted a 10.4 per cent EBITDA margin. Building on its Q4 momentum, Akums closed FY25 with a consolidated total income of Rs 4,170 crore and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.3 per cent, a 7-basis point improvement from the previous year. The company continued its focus on enhancing its product mix, building a differentiated, research-driven portfolio, and expanding its global presence.
Akums also maintained a strong R&D focus, investing Rs 130 crore which is over 3 per cent of revenue. With 973 DCGI approvals now, the company’s product portfolio has over 4,000 commercialised formulations. This is across multiple therapeutic areas across 60+ dosage forms.
Akums’ flagship business, CDMO, contributed ~78 per cent to the group turnover with an adjusted EBITDA of 14.1 per cent in FY 25. The company’s domestic branded formulation business segment reported ~9 per cent growth while the international branded formulation business grew by ~14 per cent. Trade generics and API segment continue to be in operational loss this fiscal, but the company is taking firm measures to cut the losses in the coming fiscal.
Sanjeev Jain, MD, Akums said, “As we look back on the year we got listed, we also look ahead with a renewed sense of purpose. Our entry into Europe is a pivotal step for the Akums’ global CDMO expansion. Coupled with strategic capacity expansion and a sharp focus on differentiated offerings, we are laying the foundation for Akums to emerge as a trusted global CDMO. We remain steadfast in our commitment to creating long-term value for all stakeholders and to delivering healthcare solutions that impact lives across geographies.”
Sandeep Jain, MD, mentioned, “It gives us immense pride to close FY25 on a positive note, especially in a year marked by volatility across the pharmaceutical industry. Despite price erosion in APIs and slowing volumes, Akums remained focused on the fundamentals—operational discipline, innovation, and global ambition. Our new injectable facility is now operational, our R&D engine is stronger than ever, and our differentiated portfolio continues to resonate with partners. These are exciting times, as we accelerate our transformation into a global pharmaceutical manufacturing organisation.”
