Mangalam Laboratories Private Limited has become wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on September 30, 2024, and therefore the consolidation of financials is applicable for Financial Year 2024.
During the Financial Year under report, the Company registered a total revenue from operations of Rs. 36,869.27 Lakhs as against Rs. 37,225.29 Lakhs in the previous year & registered an economic decline of 0.95 % over the previous year. The operational performance has resulted into decreased profitability of Rs. (904.89) Lakhs as compared to the previous year of Rs. 127.00 Lakhs.
Further, there has been no change in business during the year under review.
During the Financial Year 2023-24, the PAT Margin of the Company was declined because of following reasons numerated below:
a. R & D Cost: Sulfadoxine is the latest API in the treatment of Malaria and will be soon a major product for manufacturing for treatment of Malaria. The Company has developed this product in-house and made it commercially viable after a lot of R & D work.
b. High Manpower Cost: During Quarter 2 of Financial Year 2024, the Company has given increment to employees as an object to retain good talent which has resulted in higher manpower cost.
c. High Power & Fuel Cost: Power and fuel costs also increased further thereby hitting at bottom-line of the Company.
The Company has taken various steps to improve its PAT margins for the coming Financial Years. Some of the key steps are as follows:
a. Reduced Revenue Concentration: Sales of Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Hypertensive products have showcased positive trends, contributing to a more diversified revenue stream.
Also, the Sulfadoxine holds immense potential for the company and has shown commercial viability in the current year and the Company has managed to reduce the per unit Raw Material Cost of Sulfadoxine. Hence this product will not only help us to boost our top line but also improve our bottom line in these coming years. We plan to increase the production capacity of the same.
b. Strengthening Raw Material Sourcing thereby setting up an In-House Manufacturing of Critical APIs: The Company has taken significant steps to reduce its dependency on Chinese imports, particularly during the Covid crisis, when the supply of certain key raw materials faced disruptions. To enhance its supply chain stability and mitigate risks associated with reliance on foreign sources, the company strategically invested in establishing an in-house manufacturing facility for Lumefantrine and Sulfadoxine. Lumefantrine and Sulfadoxine are critical raw materials required in the production of Artemisinin Combination Therapies (ACTs), which are essential for combating malaria effectively. By producing Lumefantrine in-house at its facility in Vapi, the Company has achieved a higher degree of self-sufficiency and reduced its dependence on imports from China. For other raw materials as required, the raw material prices have now been stabilised and the Company has also fixed the rate of contracts for coming few years.

The turnover of the company has basically dropped on account of decrease in the cost of raw material which has resulted in subsequent reduction in our sale prices of finished products. One of the main reason for drop in our net profit was due to the marginal payment of Rs.217.11 Lacs as recompense to the banks to come out of the re-structuring process, this has resulted in higher interest cost. However, this will now enable the company to borrow funds at reduced interest cost, as and when required.
During this year your company earned total income of Rs. 28020.66 Lacs compared to Rs.30319.35 Lacs in the previous year, decrease of 8.21%.

Company being a pharma industry had witnessed slowdown in Global Fund
Financing and this lead to slowdown in orders to companies customers
which resulted them in putting on hold orders they had placed with the
company. On the other hand due to weak global scenario. Chinese
companies started dumping their products at cheap prices to reduce
their inventory levels and due to this our company was also forced to
reduce its prices and this had an impact on the proftability of the
company; vice versa during the year the company had also been affected
