A Message from the Managing Director

Our Story of 75 Years and Beyond.

As we celebrate our 75th year in India, I find myself in a privileged position to reflect on our rich history and narrate our story of achievements, contributions, and milestones, while also sharing my perspective on the way forward for our great organisation.

This journey is a reflection on the decades gone by—and, more importantly, on the enduring values and purpose that have remained constant throughout. This is not just a corporate milestone—it is a shared achievement with every patient, healthcare professional, employee, and partner who has walked this path with us. Our legacy in India sits proudly within Pfizer Inc.'s 175-year global story, guided by our purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives.

The Beginning of Our India Story

We are proud to have been in India for as long as India has been a republic. Since our first steps in India in 1950, we have had the privilege of being part of some of the most transformative moments in healthcare and shaping how innovations were introduced in India.

From being the first manufacturer of anti-diabetic medication in India to producing anti-tuberculosis drugs in our early years, and later pioneering advancements in antibiotics, Pfizer has built several trusted household brands.

Your Company played a pivotal role in shaping India's pharmaceutical capabilities and catering to the health requirements of millions—especially at a time when the nation faced severe foreign exchange constraints while having a high dependency on imports for lifesaving drugs. Your Company contributed significantly to building self-reliance by introducing key medicines, investing heavily in basic manufacturing, and facilitating technology transfer from Pfizer Inc., USA—laying the groundwork for the growth of a robust Indian pharmaceutical industry. In doing so, we have grown alongside the country—expanding our reach, deepening our impact, and evolving to meet the changing needs of society.

Decades of Transformation

In the decades following its entry, Pfizer was among the first multinationals to invest in local R&D, quality control, and product formulation. It continued to play a critical role in strengthening the supply chain for essential medicines, promoting knowledge transfer, and paving the way for broader healthcare advancements across India. A few of our locally developed household brands, like Becosules and Corex, went on to become leading brands in India in the later decades.

As I turned the pages of our past annual reports, Pfizer's deep-rooted intent to be not just in India, but truly for India—was evident even then. Your Company became a public company, listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange in 1966, thereby marking our entry into the Indian capital markets as well. Our commitment gained further momentum over the last few decades through a series of strategic acquisitions by Pfizer Inc., enabling us to consolidate and expand our presence across the country.

This legacy of resilience and progress reflects the strength of our foundations—built over decades of thoughtful leadership and shared purpose. Much of what we stand for today has been shaped by those who came before us—leaders who envisioned the path, teams who brought it to life, and a shared commitment that carried us through every chapter of this journey. Their foresight and stewardship helped navigate the Company through some of the most dynamic and challenging decades for India—ensuring that Pfizer remained steadfast in its purpose.

Over the decades, we have upheld their conviction that our work not only serves patients and caregivers, but also contributes meaningfully to building a healthier, more self-reliant India.

Turning to the Present

Our journey ahead remains anchored in purposeful choices—always made with patients at the heart. In recent years, your Company focused on consolidation—strengthening its base through deliberate choices that are now delivering results.

FY 2025 marked a return to growth, driven by strategic initiatives and strong execution. While the numbers are encouraging, it is the energy across our teams, our engagement with healthcare partners, and our collective confidence in the road ahead that stand out.

Dear shareholders,

In the Internal Medicine business, we have deepened our reach through scientific education, strong on-ground distribution, and digital engagements. More than 2.7 lakh healthcare professionals prescribed our Internal Medicine brands this year—a signal of growing trust and relevance across key specialities like cardiology, gynaecology, nephrology, and orthopaedics. In response to evolving market conditions, we have revised our go-to-market model for some of our products within the Internal Medicine portfolio. This strategic shift aims to enhance market penetration and optimise product distribution, thereby maximising revenue potential. We sharpened our focus on portfolio optimisation, with strategic partnerships playing a key role.

At the forefront is our collaboration with GoApptiv—a technology-led distribution partner with deep market access. By aligning our portfolio with their digital capabilities, we have enabled consumer-centric brands to achieve wider and more targeted penetration. Our partnership with Mylan Pharmaceutical Private Limited has further expanded our marketing capabilities in neuropsychiatry and we are excited about how that collaboration is shaping up.

Our Hospitals Business Unit (HBU) – with its advanced anti-infectives portfolio – continues to serve institutions, including hospitals and nursing homes across India, with an aim to deliver meaningful patient impact through innovation and responsible stewardship. Zavicefta delivered strong growth in FY 2025 and the reintroduction of Magnex 1.5 gm further enhanced the therapeutic options in hospitals. Meronem, a critical care antibiotic for resistant infections, recorded robust unit growth with significant expansion into new institutions, driven by rising healthcare professionals' trust and focused marketing efforts.

At the heart of all this is our people. We have continued to invest in leadership development, inclusion, and employee wellbeing. Whether it's our "Grow" programme for the first-line managers, the launch of the "Flex10" hybrid work model, or our Abha women's network, the focus remains on building a workplace where colleagues feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow.

This commitment has already borne fruit, with five internal promotions to National Sales Leader roles reflecting our belief in nurturing talent from within.

Our Annual Pulse Survey continues to serve as a valuable tool for measuring the colleague experience and guiding

leadership action. The 2025 results were consistent with 2024, with colleagues expressing strong pride in the meaningful work they do, a clear understanding of priorities, and alignment with Pfizer's values. Notably, 95% felt that leaders clearly communicated the Company's direction, while 94% felt the Company is well equipped to deliver quality work with integrity—a percentage improvement over the previous cycle.

Our commitment to society remains strong. Through our CSR initiatives, we are expanding access to quality healthcare, fostering innovation, and raising awareness of critical health issues in partnership with credible organisations.

At our Goa plant, we continue to embed sustainability into daily operations—reducing emissions, generating solar power, and fostering green thinking. With53% of energy needs met through on-site solar and a 44% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since 2023, the site has set new benchmarks in green manufacturing.

The year under review also witnessed seamless leadership transitions across some of our core businesses. The new leaders who have taken charge of our Internal Medicine, Vaccines, and Hospitals businesses bring with them strong strategic insight, execution strength, and a sharp focus on patient impact. I am confident that under their stewardship, these verticals will continue to grow in relevance and performance—further strengthening our ability to serve the evolving needs of healthcare in India.

Science will remain Pfizer's foundation. Our values will guide our choices. And our people will power the progress.

The next 25 years will see India take bold strides toward becoming a developed nation—and Pfizer is proud to be part of that journey. As I look ahead, I do so with optimism. We will continue to work with healthcare providers, communities, and policymakers to build an inclusive, resilient, and future-ready system that benefits patients across the country.

Our Company will also remain focused on bringing meaningful breakthroughs to India—while also showcasing India's capabilities to the world.

This moment is also one of gratitude. I would like to thank Mr. Uday Khanna and Mr. Sunil Lalbhai for their valuable contributions to the Board, and warmly welcome Mr. L. Krishnakumar and Ms. Sonia Singh to our Board. I also thank Mr. Pradip Shah for continuing as our Chairman and for his guidance over the years.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to our shareholders for their continued trust and belief in our purpose. I also extend my gratitude to Pfizer Inc. for its steadfast support and continued commitment to advancing healthcare in India—empowering us to bring science closer to those who need it most. I am deeply thankful to our most important stakeholders - healthcare partners, policy stakeholders, suppliers, and the broader ecosystem that enables us to deliver meaningful outcomes for patients across India.

Meenakshi Nevatia Managing Director, Pfizer Limited

The year under review was one of our strongest, underpinned by operational discipline and consistent execution. While core brands—Prevenar, Eliquis, and Zavicefta—delivered significant volume-led growth, other key brands like Meronem and Minipress too delivered strong growth.

Eliquis emerged as a standout success for Pfizer post-LOE—delivering a 17% CAGR and reaching over 3X more patient lives, despite facing around 100 competitively priced generics. Its continued leadership in its represented market reflects the brand's strong clinical trust and Pfizer's relentless pursuit of excellence in a highly competitive landscape.

Your Company's sales for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 stood at ₹2,128.36 Crore, which represents a growth of 2.3%. The profit before was ₹1,016.09 Crore represented an increase of 36.2%. The net gain of ₹172.81 Crore from the sale of Thane Land and Building also contributed to the increase in profit. Revenue growth, prudent capital allocation, cost efficiencies, and rigorous monitoring contributed to improved EBITDA margins and profit before tax compared to the previous year.

Your Board of Directors recommended a final dividend of ₹35/- per share for the financial year ended March 31, 2025. As a token of appreciation, in our platinum year, the Board has also recommended a special dividend of ₹100/- per share, along with a special dividend of ₹30/ per share, in view of the gain on sale of Thane Land and Building. The total proposed dividend of ₹165/- per share of ₹10/- each reflects our continued commitment to delivering value to shareholders.

Vaccines remain central to our portfolio, evolving alongside our broader therapeutic offerings to meet market needs and our long-term vision. Prevenar 13, our pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, continues to lead its category—not only by market share but through its contribution to public health. We have rolled out targeted initiatives to raise awareness of vaccine-preventable diseases and partnered with corporate hospitals to build a stronger adult vaccination ecosystem. These efforts are helping improve coverage and stakeholder awareness. Pfizer remains committed to introducing advanced vaccines that support national public health priorities and strengthen disease prevention across age groups.

"Seventy-five years. Seven and a half decades of a country in motion transforming, adapting, growing. And always, alongside it, a Company purposefully scripting its own story of trust and care.

This is not just a chronology of milestones. It is a reel of moments—captured through the lens of time, memory, and purpose. Like a bioscope, each frame brings out more than events. It reveals intent. A nation defining its identity; a company deepening its commitment. As India progressed—through reforms, revolutions, and resilience—your Company moved along step by step, in every chapter. Sometimes in the backdrop, often in the frontlines. Always aligned with the rhythms of the land it chose to grow with.

Rewind with us, as we journey across the decades. Frame by frame. Scene by scene. A story of science, care, and shared destiny."

Through the Lens of the Nation A Story of India's Rise and Pfizer's Legacy

A Young Republic, A Young Company

"The story begins with a young nation taking its first steps—India, sovereign and spirited, embraces its Constitution and the promise it holds. Institutions rise, and a new industrial rhythm begins. During these formative years, the Company makes its resolute debut—setting up in Mumbai, producing essential medicines, and laying early roots in India's healthcare journey. A defining moment begins with those first batches of anti-tuberculosis drugs and Protinex—symbols of a shared belief: that healthcare forms the foundation of a nation's progress."

1950

The Company began its corporate journey in India on November 21 under the name 'Dumex Private Limited' in the same year as India adopted its Constitution.

1952

In parallel, Pfizer deepens its focus on India: pioneering antibiotic production, supporting tuberculosis treatment, and stepping into diabetes and veterinary care. The journey deepens—richer, more layered with each passing year. India is learning to trust its own capabilities, and so is Pfizer in India—investing, expanding, and anchoring itself to a future shaped by care and confidence."

From being part of its formative years to seeing it embrace innovation, expand its therapeutic reach, and uphold the highest standards of governance, I have been fortunate to contribute to its transformation into a trusted leader in healthcare. What stands out most is Pfizer's enduring legacy—a legacy built on scientific excellence, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to patients. It is this purpose that continues to inspire its people and propel its progress.

Opening Up to the World, Advancing with Science

"Liberalisation brings with it a sense of momentum—new markets, open skies, global possibilities. India welcomes reforms including permission for 100% Foreign Direct Investment in pharmaceutical sector. As clinical research regulations evolve, Pfizer pioneers India's first dedicated clinical research unit. New therapies arrive faster, reputations grow stronger, and the National Stock Exchange's ticker flashes Pfizer's name. In this chapter of progress, momentum meets meaning—the power of science aligning with the nation's aspiration."

In 1994-95, Pfizer became the first to establish a dedicated clinical research unit in India—pioneering clinical trials in the country.

"As the bioscope spins into the new millennium, India turns its gaze inward—towards inclusivity, innovation, and rural health. Landmark programmes like the National Rural Health Mission and Jan Aushadhi redefine access. Pfizer, too, expands—integrating globally, and reaching deeper into Indian households, while also reaching farther into international markets.

This decade also marks a pivotal transformation globally: with the acquisitions of Warner Lambert and Pharmacia, Pfizer becomes the world's largest and fastest growing pharmaceutical company. The focus is no longer just scale—it is staying committed to service and shared purpose. What took shape was an enhanced trust: a trusted presence, meeting the nation's evolving needs."

Sustainability Endeavours

Frames of Environmental Stewardship

Pfizer's Goa plant is at the forefront of advancing environmental sustainability through its ambitious Green Manufacturing Initiatives, anchored in Pfizer's commitment to achieve the Net-Zero Standard by 2040. With clear targets to reduce the Company's emissions by 95% and value chain emissions by 90%, and transition to 100% renewable electricity by 2030, the Goa plant is firmly aligned with Pfizer's Net Zero roadmap.

Solar Energy Milestones: Phased Expansion Since 2019

The Goa plant has implemented a strategic, multi-phase solar panel installation programme, demonstrating consistency and scale in its energy transition efforts:

  • 2019 Phase I: 50 KWp
  • 2020 Phase II: 50 KWp
  • 2021 Phase III & IV: 100 KWp each
  • 2022 Phase V: 100 KWp
  • 2023 Phase VI: 100 KWp; Phase VII: 800 KWp
  • 2024 Phase VIII: 200 KWp

Strong Momentum Towards the Net Zero Standard

1,500 kWp Total Installed Capacity

32%

Decrease in conventional energy use Y-O-Y (2023-24 vs 2024-25)

25,96,114 kWH Annual Generation

Using 2019 as the baseline, the Goa plant has committed to reducing its site emissions to less than:

Carbon footprint per output (tonnes CO2e per million tablets)

The site's solar infrastructure is integrated with diesel generator (DG) backup systems, significantly reducing fossil fuel consumption during outages. Moreover, surplus electricity generated is exported back to the local grid and offset against night-time consumption.

Investments in high-efficiency production machinery have also enhanced output while reducing power intensity.

These carbon reductions are underpinned by a broader set of sustainability initiatives that extend beyond emissions control. The site continues to drive impact through focused efforts in energy conservation, water and waste management, and active colleague engagement. This includes participation from colleagues across levels, strong leadership involvement, and family-inclusive events aimed at fostering environmental awareness and collective responsibility. Our commitment to responsible practices, environmental stewardship was recognized by the OPPI Sustainability Award, which is a recognition of Pfizer Global Supply (PGS) team's efforts in driving sustainability initiatives across manufacturing sites and supply chain network in India.

  • 1,961 metric tonnes CO₂e by 2030
  • 182 metric tonnes CO₂e by 2040
  • The Goa plant achieved a 56% reduction in carbon emissions in 2024–25 compared to the 2019 baseline, reflecting its strong commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices
  • Between 2024 and 2025, the site reduced its site-level carbon emissions from 2,449 to 1,675 tonnes CO₂e, marking a ~31.6% decline within a year.

Financial Overview

Economic and Industry Overview

India's economic outlook for 2025 remains generally positive, though growth is expected to moderate compared to previous years. The GDP is projected to expand by ~6.5-6.7%, supported by robust private consumption, public spending, and sustained momentum in the services sector. That said, a mild slowdown in manufacturing activity and reduced government expenditure may temper overall growth.

The World Bank forecasts a steady 6.7% GDP growth in FY 2026, reaffirming India's position as the fastestgrowing major economy. This outlook is underpinned by continued strength in services and a revitalized manufacturing base, aided by infrastructure upgrades and tax reforms. According to the World Bank's Global Economic Prospects Report - January 2025, India's resilience reinforces its growing influence in the global economy.

India is poised to retain its status as the fastest-growing major economy, with projections indicating it could become the world's third-largest consumer market by 2026 and third-largest economy by 2027.

While the outlook remains favourable, challenges persist—including global trade tensions, a potential slowdown in private investment, and the need for continued structural reforms to sustain higher growth.

Reciprocal tariffs introduced by the United States have added further uncertainty to the outlook. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has cautioned that these tariff developments may dampen exports and weaken domestic demand, prompting a downward revision of its growth forecast from 6.7% to 6.5%.

The US Government's reciprocal tariff policy is likely to significantly impact Indian pharmaceutical companies, particularly those exporting to the US market. USA is India's largest market for pharmaceutical exports, accounting for ~31% of India's total pharmaceutical exports in FY 2024.

To counter these challenges, India is likely to focus on diversifying exports, negotiating trade agreements, and boosting domestic manufacturing. The country is also poised to benefit from supply chain realignments and foreign direct investment diversification. However, the global slowdown driven by trade tensions remains a key risk. RBI maintains that calibrated policy support can enable India to navigate this volatility and strengthen its position within the emerging global economic landscape.

Economic Overview – India

Indian Pharmaceutical Market

The Indian Pharmaceutical Market (IPM) recorded a turnover of ₹233,261 Crore during the period from April 2024 to March 2025, registering a growth of 8.0% as against 7.5% in the previous year (2022-25 CAGR 7.9%). Price increase (4.3%) continues to be the key growth driver, followed by contribution from new introductions (2.3%).

Overall IPM Turnover

FY 2024 FY 2025

Market Prognosis

As per the IQVIA Prognosis report for FY 2025, the Indian Pharmaceutical Market (IPM) is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 8% between 2024 and 2029, reaching ~`3,53,000 Crore by 2029. The key drivers for market growth include, recent and future product launches including innovative new drugs in a wide variety of therapy classes, as well as new anti-obesity treatments, expansion of promotional coverage beyond metros and Tier 1 markets, rising health awareness and affordability, increasing penetration of health insurance.

However, growth may be constrained by the rising share of trade and non-branded generics, and continued pricing pressure under the Drug Price Control Order (DPCO), particularly following the expansion of the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) in 2022.

Industry Overview – Pharmaceuticals

Therapeutic Growth

The Chronic segment has grown at 9.8% over MAT March 2024, while the Acute segment has registered growth of 6.9%. Growth in the Acute segment was impacted by slowdown in anti-infective, gynaecology and respiratory segments. Price is the predominant growth factor in both the segments.

Key Pharma Market Events and Trends

  • Product Launches: New product introductions are expected to be a key growth driver, particularly in therapeutic areas such as cardiac care, antidiabetics, and oncology. The anti-obesity segment is also projected to gain traction, on account of rising obesity prevalence. The World Obesity Federation estimates 5-6% of individuals aged between 15-49 in India are clinically obese, with several related drugs currently under regulatory review.
  • Health Insurance Expansion: Health insurance penetration–both public and private–is expected to continue to rise. Enrolment under the Central Government's "Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana" (AB-PMJAY), which targets ~600 Million low-income individuals and senior citizens over 70, has accelerated over the past year. Simultaneously, demand for private health insurance is increasing, with ~18% of the population

currently covered under individual or group —a figure anticipated to grow further. Traditionally focused on hospitalisation or lump-sum benefits, private insurance offerings are evolving, supported by increased investment in broader and more comprehensive coverage options.

Expansion of Promotional Coverage: Improvements in health and transport infrastructure, coupled with rising incomes and greater health awareness, are fuelling increased demand for medicines in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. In response, several leading Indian pharmaceutical companies are expanding their sales forces to broaden promotional coverage in these regions. Co-marketing partnerships are also on the rise. Additionally, both multinational and leading domestic players are increasingly adopting alternative go-to-market models, including collaborations with contract sales and promotional agencies to enhance market reach beyond the major urban centres.

  • Private Hospital Sector Growth: In response to the rapidly increasing demand for private hospital care, major corporate hospital groups are expanding their networks. The strong growth in the sector is attracting substantial private equity and venture capital investment, supporting both network expansion and the emergence of single-specialty players. While Tier 1 cities are expected to benefit first, rising demand in Tier 2 and 3 locations will likely drive medium-term expansion. This consolidation in the private hospital sector is expected to influence pharmaceutical manufacturers, who are increasingly engaging with large healthcare groups that hold significant bargaining power.
  • Rise of Trade Generics: Trade generics—dispensed through discount-led models rather than promotiondriven prescribing—are emerging as a growing threat to the traditional branded generics market. Priced similarly to branded alternatives but without the physician-based promotion, trade generics allow manufacturers to offer substantial discounts to distributors. This makes them particularly attractive to retail pharmacies and hospitals, which benefit from higher margins. In response, many of India's leading pharmaceutical companies—as well as some multinationals—have established dedicated trade generic divisions. The segment is also seeing increasing participation from smaller, regional players, a trend likely to continue.

Regulatory Reforms: In March 2024, the Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP) introduced a revised Uniform Code for Pharmaceutical Marketing Practices (UCPMP), replacing the voluntary 2014 version. The updated Code outlines stricter regulations on marketing conduct, sets limits on promotional items and samples, and defines guidelines for engagement with medical practitioners. The new framework is already prompting behavioural changes among pharmaceutical companies and has led to more restrictive approaches to their marketing practices.

Key Drivers: Increasing Demand for Private Hospital Care

Higher income

Increasing health awareness

Ageing population

Increasing incidence of chronic and lifestyle diseases

Expanding health insurance coverage

Growth in medical tourism

Operating Environment and Strategic Landscape

The government continues to promote self-reliance under the "Atmanirbhar Bharat" and "Make in India" initiatives, while renewing the focus on domestic innovation that is both sustainable and globally competitive. Several policy measures reflect this strategic direction, including the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, the Promotion of Research & Innovation in Pharma MedTech Sector (PRIP) Scheme, and the Patents (Amendment) Rules, 2024.

Overview – Pharma Operating Environment

Strategic Responses and Advocacy Efforts

Your Company continues to advocate for innovative funding mechanisms to enhance affordability, while underscoring the importance of maintaining high-quality standards for medicines manufactured, sold, and exported from India.

Pfizer has urged fast-tracking of patent applications through a time-bound process. Recommendations included establishing clear timelines across various

stages of the patent office workflow and empowering controllers to dismiss frivolous pre-grant oppositions ensuring that only credible objections are considered.

The notification of the Patents (Amendment) Rules, 2024 in March is a welcome step in this direction. Your Company remains committed to pursue further reforms to reduce delays in patent grants and strengthen enforcement mechanisms.

The draft National Pharmaceutical Policy places strong emphasis on improving regulatory efficiency alongside strengthening domestic capabilities. your Company has consistently advocated for a regulatory environment that is predictable, time-bound, transparent, and aligned with global standards—critical factors for ensuring timely access to lifesaving medicines and reinforcing confidence in product quality.

Reflecting such engagements, the regulatory authority has issued an executive order identifying a list of reference countries. This aims to accelerate access to new drugs by potentially waiving local clinical trial requirements for certain categories, including orphan drugs, gene and cell therapies, pandemic-related

Government Policies and Regulatory Changes

treatments, defence-related drugs, and those offering significant therapeutic advancement—provided they are already approved in countries such as the US, UK, Japan, Australia, Canada, and the European Union.

To further align with international best practices, the Government has revised Schedule - M Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines. These reforms, if implemented effectively, are expected to reduce delays, improve compliance with global standards, and enable faster and safer delivery of effective medicines.

Business and Financial Performance Overview

Vaccines

Vaccines have been pivotal in advancing public health by controlling, reducing, and eliminating life-threatening infectious diseases. Your Company's Vaccine division champions immunisation as a vital means to protect individuals across all age groups and aims to redefine disease prevention for longer and healthier lives.

The division currently focuses on Prevenar 13, a Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine approved for use in infants (from 6 weeks), toddlers, adolescents, adults, and the elderly against pneumococcal disease—a serious infection caused by streptococcus pneumoniae, which can lead to pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis, and even death, particularly in young children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised.

Pfizer continues to strengthen its presence in the paediatric market. Your Company remains committed to establish "Life course vaccination" in India. Its initiatives are aimed at increasing awareness and educating stakeholders about vaccine-preventable diseases. Key efforts include strengthening healthcare provider conviction through dissemination of Indian consensus guidelines on adult vaccination, partnering with corporate hospitals to establish Centres of Excellence, and enhancing public awareness through targeted campaigns—such as the Duty@50 initiative to support the development of a stronger adult vaccination ecosystem.

Review of Operations

  • Targeting 13 common serotypes, Prevenar 13 is India's first and only approved conjugate vaccine for all age groups.
  • Maintained leadership in the private pneumococcal vaccines market with:
  • − 56.7% Unit share
  • − 70% Value market share (MAT March 2025)
  • Received multiple accolades for impactful campaigns:

A. Eliquis and Minipress:

Eliquis (Apixaban)—a Factor Xa Inhibitor—is a leading oral anticoagulant, predominantly prescribed by cardiologists, neurologists, physicians/pulmonologists, vascular surgeons, and orthopaedic surgeons for the management of atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism. After the loss of exclusivity (LOE), many generic brands have increased its competition in the market.

Your Company focused on expanding Eliquis' reach across additional cities, specialities, and HCPs to drive higher unit sales and patient access. Post LOE, Eliquis achieved a CAGR of 17% and reached ~3X more patients, despite presence of around 100 competitively priced generics. It continues to hold the #1 position among NOACs in the represented market with a 35% market share (+3%).

Educating for Better Outcomes

Eliquis has been at the forefront of promoting firstin-class anti-coagulation science through educational programmes, including case-based panel discussions, symposia of international and national experts on updates in AF/VTE management, and public awareness initiatives on atrial fibrillation on radio and electronic media.

• Prof. Renato Lopes [Duke University, USA (Cardiology)], investigator of landmark trials such as "Aristotle", "Augustus", and others, had visited India for a multi-city tour, reaching over 3,000 HCPs. His insights and expertise were invaluable, fostering exchange of knowledge and enhancing Pfizer's educational outreach.

• Your Company's partnership with the European Society of Cardiology launched an upskilling programme—"Action AF 2.0". Dr. Gregory Lip and Dr. G Andrei Dan were the speakers at the launch and it was a tremendous success. This programme aimed to upskill more than 1500 young and upcoming cardiologists in anticoagulation Knowledge, Aptitude and Practices (KAP), to ensure that next-gen cardiologists would be well-equipped to manage anticoagulation therapy effectively.

• Your Company released a book, endorsed by Dr. Renato Lopes, on "The Evolving Landscape of Stroke Prevention" at the CSI – National Congress. It is a comprehensive guide, offering critical information to HCPs and reinforcing Pfizer's dedication to education and resource development.

Internal Medicine

200 Mn Patients impacted

The Internal Medicine ("IM") business of your Company remains a key revenue contributor. It continues to strengthen engagement with Health Care Professionals ("HCPs") and expand patient impact through the adoption of diverse operational models aimed at improving reach and effectiveness.

In FY 2025, Pfizer IM brands were prescribed by over 2.7 Lakh HCPs, reflecting 3% growth compared to FY 2024.

The increase was particularly notable across specialities such as dentistry, gynaecology, orthopaedics, cardiology, and nephrology, indicating broader acceptance and growing belief among HCPs. This growth in HCP confidence and patient reach has been driven by robust scientific dissemination of the latest clinical updates, engagement with key opinion leaders (KOLs), strengthened distribution networks to ensure ease of access, and therapy support programmes aimed at improving treatment outcomes.

Your Company has been focusing on optimizing its portfolio. A key strategy in this effort has been collaborating with our technology-based partner, GoApptiv, which brings significant distribution capabilities through its tech-based solutions. This strategic move has already started yielding positive results, enabling deeper market penetration for consumer-centric brands- enhancing the reach of our IM brands today and laying a foundation for long-term growth.

Three key pillars supporting the IM business drivers:

Productivity Enhancement: Achieved through in-clinic excellence, tailored engagements, improved segmentation, targeting, and expansion.

Enhanced Customer Reach: Leveraged omnichannel promotion and virtual outreach to ~10,000 HCPs, with a

focused effort on young HCPs in government and private medical colleges through a dedicated team.

Improved Distribution: Ensuring ease of access through various channel expansion initiatives.

Addressing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

In collaboration with Americares India Foundation (AIF), Pfizer continued to strengthen its national response to AMR:

  • Project Parivartan focused on institutional strengthening across 11 small and mid-sized hospitals. The first phase recorded a 37% increase in hand hygiene adherence, a 42% reduction in hospital-acquired infections, and a 14% reduction in multidrug-resistant organisms.

Shortfall in CSR Spend

Pfizer INDovation, a flagship initiative in partnership with NITI Aayog, Department of Pharmaceuticals, NIPER Ahmedabad, FITT IIT Delhi, and Social Alpha, supports health-tech startups across diagnostics, devices, oncology, and digital health:

• The first cohort concluded with five startups receiving ₹65 Lakh each for clinical validation, regulatory approval, and pilot deployment. The cohort secured follow-on funding and was showcased at global forums including the World Health Assembly in Geneva.

The CSR funds were earmarked for six key projects- (i) Tata Trusts Cancer Care Project (ii) Project Aastha - Cancer Care Patient helpdesks through Doctors for You, (iii) Project Parivartan and OPEN- AMR Online Learning Platform with Americares, (iv) Goa Community Development Project (v) Pfizer INDovation project and (vi) Tata Marathon 2025.

Given the scale and ongoing nature of CSR programs, the Company could not utilize the funds earmarked for - (i) Project Aastha- Cancer Care Patient helpdesks through Doctors for You (ii) Project Parivartan and Online Learning Platform with Americares (iii) Pfizer INDovation project for the financial year under review. These CSR projects are long term in nature and continuing projects which would require the Company to release the funds in a phased manner.

  • A dedicated NIPER-A edition supported six early-stage startups with ₹25 Lakh each. These ventures focused on critical areas such as HPV testing, breast health, diarrhoea differentiation, chronic kidney disease, peripheral artery disease, and gastrointestinal cancer diagnostics. All six were pre-approved under the DoP's PRIP and Meditech initiatives.
  • In 2025, the second cohort will support 14 startups across development and deployment tracks with grants of up to ₹60 Lakh each. The deployment pathway will facilitate pilot implementation at Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to demonstrate clinical efficacy.

The CSR funds were earmarked for six key projects which are long term in nature ranging from 2 - 4 years – (i) Tata Trusts Cancer Care Project (ii) Project Aastha - Cancer Care Patient helpdesks through Doctors for You, (iii) Project Parivartan and Online Learning Platform with Americares, (iv) Goa Community Development Project (v) Pfizer INDovation & IP project and (vi) Tata Marathon 2025.

Given the scale and ongoing nature of following CSR programs - Tata Trusts Cancer Care Project, Project Aastha Cancer Care Patient helpdesks through Doctors for You, Project Parivartan and Online Learning Platform with Americares, Goa Community Development Project and Pfizer INDovation & IP project, the Company could not utilize the full funds earmarked for the financial year under review. These CSR projects are long term in nature and continuing projects which would require the Company to release the funds in phased manner.

As per the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the unspent CSR amount of `6.97 Crores have been transferred to Pfizer Limited - Corporate Social Responsibility Unspent Account FY 2024 – 25 and will be subsequently spent on the Company's said ongoing CSR projects within a period of three years.

Colleagues and business partners must never offer, promise, authorize, or provide a payment or benefit that is intended to improperly influence a government official, healthcare professional, or any other person, including commercial entities and individuals, in exercising their responsibilities.

The Company is guided, to the extent applicable, by the "Blue Book - Summary of Pfizer Policies on Business Conduct" — of its parent company, Pfizer Inc., USA. Pfizer's Blue Book—our Code of Conduct—is designed to support our core Values, particularly Excellence, as we perform at our best together, and Equity, as we should always act with integrity. The Blue Book describes how we operate and guides the decisions we make in support of our purpose, including how we speak up when we see something that concerns us—a behavior essential to our Value of Courage. Seeking advice, raising concerns, and reporting misconduct are critical to our ability to serve patients. Every Pfizer colleague is responsible for understanding the Blue Book and adhering to our Code of Conduct every day. In doing so we demonstrate our continued commitment to living our Values and earning the trust of the patients we serve.

In addition to this, Pfizer's My Anti-Corruption Policy, and Procedures ("MAPP") sets out Pfizer's global enterprise-wide approach to preventing bribery and corruption. MAPP provides the tools needed to help address bribery and corruption risks in our interactions with healthcare professionals, government, regulators, and business partners.

The Company is committed to conducting business in an ethical and responsible manner. This includes respecting human rights throughout its operations.

For all grievances that are routed to the Employee Relations Investigations Group and in certain cases to the Corporate Compliance Group, necessary action is taken in line with the underlying internal polices and regulations applicable to the workplace. The Company also has the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) which addresses sexual harassment related grievances. Any case that is raised is thoroughly and confidentially investigated. If found guilty, appropriate action is taken against the accused. In appropriate and exceptional cases, concerns may be raised directly to the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Company. The Company has a zero-retaliation policy in place designed to ensure no adverse actions against the complainant.

Many channels exist for raising questions and reporting concerns, including the Compliance Helpline (thirdparty public hotline available by phone or web, with anonymous reporting were allowed under local law), the Compliance Division (through email, phone, fax, mail and directly to colleagues), management, and other channels supported by our Open Door Policy (which includes our whistleblower policy).

At Pfizer, our senior leaders and management set the tone for a strong culture of integrity and encourage colleagues and partners to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Retaliation against anyone who seeks advice, raises a concern, reports misconduct, or provides information in an investigation is strictly prohibited by our anti-retaliation policy that protects whistleblowers.

The Company has in place a whistle-blower / vigil mechanism through which its directors, employees and stakeholders can report their genuine concerns about illegal or unethical behaviour, actual or suspected fraud or violation of the Company's code of conduct or ethics policy. The mechanism provides for safeguards against victimization of persons who use such mechanism. If any individual, regardless of his or her role in the Company, retaliates against an employee who has truthfully and in good faith reported a potential violation, the Company will take appropriate action—even if it later turns out that the employee was mistaken in reporting the matter originally. The Company also conducts training and awareness programs for all its employees on periodic basis to embed a Speak Up Culture.

Suppliers that are determined to have an elevated risk, e.g., EHS and labour and human rights risks, are subject to a governance process which may result in the supplier being required by Pfizer to develop corrective actions to improve their operations and procedures and/or mitigate identified risks.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Pfizer Limited (the "Company") which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2025, and the statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2025, and its profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Independent Auditor's Report

Revenue Recognition

See Note 3(a) and 22 to financial statements

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized at a point in time when control over goods is transferred to a customer. The actual point in time when revenue is recognised varies depending on the specific terms and conditions of the sales contracts entered into with customers. There is a risk of revenue being overstated as management, to achieve its performance targets, may recognize revenue on sale of products though control may not have transferred to the customer.

Accordingly, we identified risk of overstatement of revenue as a key audit matter.

In view of the significance of the matter we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence:

• Assessed the appropriateness of the policies in respect of revenue recognition by comparing with applicable accounting standards;

• Tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the Company's key internal controls including general IT controls and IT application controls over recognition of revenue;

• On selected statistical samples of revenue transactions recorded for the year as well as period end cut-off, tested the underlying documents, which include testing contractual terms of sale contracts/ invoices, shipping documents and lead time/ proof of delivery to test evidence for transfer of control;

Litigations with sales tax authorities and under Drug (Prices Controls) Orders ('DPCO') See Note 3(i), 38(a) and 38(b) to financial statements

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
As at 31 March 2025, the Company has pending
litigation with sales tax authorities for several
financial years which are at various stages and
appropriate audit evidence :
pending at different forums.
These litigations are pertaining to non
submission of documentary evidence at the
time of assessment, litigations involving
and contingent liabilities;
question of law and certain disallowance made
by authorities in assessment orders.
Also, the Company is engaged in manufacturing,
marketing, trading and export of pharmaceutical
products. DPCO has issued various orders/
notification for fixing the price of various
pharma products. With respect to the sales of
the pharmaceutical products covered by the
aforementioned DPCO orders, in earlier years,
the Company has received demand notices
for overcharging price. The Company has
challenged these demands from DPCOs and the
confirmations to external legal counsel;
cases are pending at various courts in India.
The amounts involved are significant and the
application of accounting principles of Ind AS 37
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
by involving our specialists; and
Assets, to determine whether a recognition of
provision or a disclosure of contingent liability

is required, is inherently subjective, and needs

careful evaluation/ judgement by the Company. Considering the degree of judgement, significance of the amounts involved, this

matter has been identified as a key audit matter.

In view of the significance of the matter we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient

• Understood the process followed by the Company for assessment and determination of the amount of provisions and contingent liabilities;

• Evaluated the design and implementation and testing operating effectiveness of key internal controls (including review controls) around the recognition and measurement of provisions and re-assessment of contingent liabilities;

• Inquired the status in respect of significant provisions and contingent liabilities with the Company's inhouse team;

• Read the correspondence between the Company and the various tax /legal authorities and legal opinions, where applicable for significant matters and rolled out confirmations to external legal counsel;

• Challenged the Company's estimate of the possible outcome of the disputed cases based on applicable indirect tax laws by involving our specialists; and

• Assessed the adequacy of the Company's disclosures in respect of contingent liabilities and provision for indirect tax and legal matters.

Other Information

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor's reports thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Financial Statements

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit/ loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Independent Auditor's Report on the financial statements of Pfizer Limited for the year ended 31 March 2025

Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act

(Referred to in paragraph 2(A)(g) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date

Opinion

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Pfizer Limited ("the Company") as of 31 March 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2025, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the "Guidance Note").

Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for Internal Financial Controls

The Company's Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements

A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements include those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the

Annexure B company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company does not have any subsidiary company or associate company or joint venture company as at 31 March 2025. Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy in use.

b) Functional and presentation currency

(ii) Net defined
benefit (asset) /
liability
Fair value of plan
assets less present
value of defined
benefit obligations

d) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosures of contingent liabilities on the date of financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Application of accounting policies that requires critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgements and the use of assumption in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note 3.

Note 38 — Contingencies

Critical judgements

Note 34 — Leases

e) Current and non-current classification

Based on the nature of it's activities and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III of the Act.

f) Measurement of fair values

A number of accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirely in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:

Note 33 – Share based payment arrangements

Note 35 – Financial instruments.

Material accounting policies

a) Revenue

(i) Sale of goods:

Revenue arises mainly from the sale of products.

To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Company follows a 5-step process:

  • a) Identifying the contract with a customer
  • b) Identifying the performance obligations
  • c) Determining the transaction price
  • d) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
  • e) Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.

The Company receives revenue for supply of goods to external customers against orders received. The majority of contracts that the Company enters into relate to sales orders containing single performance obligations for the delivery of products. Product revenue is recognised when control of the goods is passed to the customer. The point at which control passes is determined by each customer arrangement, but generally occurs on delivery to the customer.

The total transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price for a contract excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties viz taxes.

Product revenue represents net invoice value including fixed and variable consideration. Variable consideration arises on the sale of goods as a result of discounts and allowances given and accruals for estimated future returns and rebates. Revenue is not recognised in full until it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur.

The methodology and assumptions used to estimate rebates and returns are monitored and adjusted regularly in the light of historical trends, past experience and projected market conditions. Once the uncertainty associated with the returns and rebates is resolved, revenue is adjusted accordingly.

(ii) Rendering of services:

Revenue from services is recognized over a period of time as and when services are rendered and related costs are incurred, in accordance with the terms of the specific contracts.

b) Foreign exchange transactions

The date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, a date of transaction is established for each payment or receipt. The exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognized in the statement of profit and loss of the year. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign exchange, which are outstanding as at the year end, are translated at the closing exchange rate and the resultant exchange differences are recognized in statement of profit and loss.

c)

Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

The cost of an item of Property, plant and equipment shall be recognized as an asset if, and only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation / amortization and impairment losses. The cost of property, plant and equipment includes taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from tax authorities), duties, freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets. Capital work in progress are stated at cost.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in statement of profit and loss. Refer note (e) below for details on impairment.

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the Property, plant and equipment.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure that are directly attributable to the property, plant and

for year ended 31 March 2025

Notes to the financial statement

for year ended 31 March 2025

equipment are capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

(iii) Depreciation

  • a) Depreciation is calculated on straight line basis as per the estimated useful life mentioned determined in Part C of Schedule II of the Act or based on estimated useful life of the assets determined by the management.
  • b) Depreciation on assets other than those specified in a) above are provided at:
Assets Rate
Right-of-use Straight-line
basis over the
lease term and
useful life of the
underlying asset
Buildings : On
leasehold land
Lower of lease
period and
estimated useful
life
Leasehold
improvements
Amortized over
the lease period
or estimated
useful life, which
ever is lower

Assets acquired under the Scheme of Amalgamation from erstwhile Wyeth Limited are depreciated over the estimated residual useful life of the assets as determined by an independent expert:

Assets Rate
Machinery and 1 to 12 years
equipment

Depreciation on additions is provided on a pro-rata basis from the month of capitalization. Depreciation on deletions during the year is provided up to the month in which the asset is sold / discarded. Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(iv) Asset held for sale

Non-current asset are classfied as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and a sale is considered highly probable.

Such assets are generally measured at lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Once classified as held-for-sale, they are no longer amortized or depreciated.

d) Goodwill and other intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortization / impairment loss.

(i) Goodwill:

Goodwill arising on acquisition of business is carried at costs less any accumulated impairment loss.

Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

(ii) Other intangible assets:

Other intangible assets comprises of trademarks and computer software.

Trademarks are amortized on a straight line basis, over a period of 10 years. Cost of computer software includes cost such as salary and other expenditure incurred on development of the computer software and is amortized on straightline basis over a period of 10 years, which in management's estimate represents the period during which economic benefits will be derived from their use. The life and residual value is reviewed annually.

e ) Impairment of financial and nonfinancial assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cashgenerating unit's (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or of Company's assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to it's recoverable amount.

Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in statement of profit and loss. For assets excluding goodwill (refer note 3(d) above), an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exists or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's or CGU's recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments,which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

f )

Investment property

Investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property is recognized in statement of profit and loss. When the use of a property changes from owner occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified as investment property at it's carrying amount on the date of reclassification.

g) Inventories

Raw materials, stock-in-trade, work-inprogress, finished goods and packing materials are valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of overheads to bring the inventory to it's present location and condition. Stores and spares are valued at lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value.

The net realizable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling price of related finished goods. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realizable value.

The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.

for year ended 31 March 2025

Notes to the financial statement

for year ended 31 March 2025

Finished goods expiring within 90 days (near-expiry inventory) as at the balance sheet date have been fully provided for. Cost of raw materials, stock-in-trade and stores and spares comprises of cost of purchase.

h ) Employee benefits

(i) Short -term employee benefits

All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short - term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, bonus, short term compensated absences and the expected cost of ex-gratia is recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

(ii) Long - term employee benefits

a) Defined contribution plan

The Company's contribution towards employees' Superannuation and Provident Fund plan is recognized as an expense in statement of profit and loss when they are due.

During the previous year, Pfizer Limited Employees' Provident Fund which was administered by a trust, had been transferred to Employees' Provident Fund Organisation. Necessary permission had been granted by Regional Provident Fund Commissioner for such transfer to start complying as an un-exempt entity from 1 January 2024.

b) Defined benefit plans

(i) Provident fund

Till 31 December 2023, Provident fund contributions were made to a trust administered by the trustees. Trust made investments and settled members claims. Interest payable to the members shall not be at a rate lower than the statutory rate. Liability was recognized for any shortfall in the plan assets visà-vis actuarially determined liability of the fund obligation. Surplus/(Deficit) were computed using the Guidance Note 29 issued by Institute of Actuaries of India on Valuation of Interest Rate Guarantees on Exempt Provident Funds under IAS 19 (Revised). Deterministic approach was used to determine the interest rate guarantee.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit obligation, which comprise of actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets were recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).

(ii) Gratuity plan

The Company's gratuity benefit scheme is a defined benefit plan. The Company's net obligation in respect of the gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted.

The present value of the obligation as at the balance sheet date under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method by an independent actuary, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan, are based on the market yields on government securities as at the reporting date.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit obligation, which comprise of actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).

c) Other long-term employment benefits

Compensated absences which are not expected to settle within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognized as a liability at the present value as at the reporting date using projected unit credit method by an independent actuary. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation are based on the market yields on government securities as at the reporting date.

i) Provisions and contingent liabilities

The Company creates a provision when there exists a present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. Contingent assets are not recognized in financial statements. Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets are reviewed annually.

j) Leases

a) Company as a Lessee

The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

  • (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset
  • (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and
  • (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a rightof-use asset ("ROU") and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (shortterm leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straightline basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that

for year ended 31 March 2025

Notes to the financial statement

for year ended 31 March 2025

they will be exercised.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straightline basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the valuein-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are re-measured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised insubstance fixed lease payments. The company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of profit and loss.

Ind AS 116 requires lessee to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-bylease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Company's operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

ROU asset have been separately presented under the head "Property, Plant and Equipment" and lease payments have been classified as financing activity under cash flows.

b) Company as a lessor:

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the rightof-use asset arising from the head lease. For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis.

k) Income tax

Income tax comprises of current tax and deferred tax.

Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amount and where it intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of taxable temporary difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognized in respect of for the carried forward of unused tax losses and the carry forward of unused tax credits. The Company assesses whether taxable profits will be available against which it can utilise a deductible temporary difference, it considers whether tax law restricts the source of taxable profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. If tax law restricts the utilisation of losses to deduction against income of a specific type, a deductible temporary difference is assessed in combination only with other deductible temporary differences of the appropriate type. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to reassess realization. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

l )

Employee stock options scheme

Pfizer Inc., USA, as a part of the long-term incentive awards offers certain common stock (shares) to the employees of Pfizer Inc., and its subsidiaries.

Compensation cost relating to restricted stock units, portfolio performance shares and total shareholder return units under the Pfizer Inc. 2019 Stock plan to employees of the Company is measured using the fair value method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of the options on a straight-line basis.

The grant date fair value of equity settled share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards.

The amount recognized as expense is based on the estimate of the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and nonmarket vesting conditions at the vesting date.

) Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax attributable to equity shareholders for the year, with the respective weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

for year ended 31 March 2025

Notes to the financial statement

for year ended 31 March 2025

The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.

o ) Financial instruments

(i) Recognition and initial measurement

Trade receivables issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial assets - Subsequent measurement and gains and losses:

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified and measured at

  • a) amortized cost;
  • b) FVTOCI – equity investment; or
  • c) FVTPL

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

  • a) financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL
  • the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

192 193 n) Dividends Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in statement of profit and loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in statement of profit and loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in statement of profit and loss.

b) Financial assets at FVTPL

These assets are remeasured at fair value, at each reporting date. Net gains and losses, arising from such remeasurement including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in statement of profit and loss.

c) Financial assets at amortized cost

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in statement of profit and loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in statement of profit and loss.

d) Financial assets at FVTOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in statement of profit and loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are not reclassified to statement of profit and loss.

Financial liabilities: Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses:

(iii)

Derecognition

Financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expires, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.

If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expired.

The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognized in statement of profit and loss.

q) Recent accounting pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. During the year, MCA has notified Ind AS- 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS- 116 Leases, relating to sale and lease back transactions, applicable to the Company w.e.f. April 1, 2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.

5(a) Goodwill

For the purposes of impairment testing, carrying amount of goodwill has been allocated to the following Cash Generating Unit (CGU) as follows:

Currency: ` in crore
---------------------- --
Particulars As at
31 March 2025
As at
31 March 2024
Business acquired pursuant to amalgamation of erstwhile Wyeth Limited
Opening Balance 527.49 527.49
Additions during the year - -
Closing balance 527.49 527.49

The recoverable amount of the above CGU has been assessed using a value-in-use model. Value in use is calculated as the net present value of the projected pre-tax cash flows plus a terminal value of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated. Initially a pre-tax discount rate is applied to calculate the net present value of the pre-tax cash flows.

The cash flow projections include specific estimates for five years developed using internal forecasts and a terminal growth rate thereafter of 2% (31 March 2024: 2%). The planning horizon reflects the assumptions for short-to-mid term market developments.

Discount rate reflects the current market assessment of the risks. The discount rate is estimated based on the weighted average cost of capital for the Company. Pre-tax discount rate used for the year ended 31 March 2025 was 16.20% (31 March 2024: 16.36%).

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management's assessment of future trends in the pharmaceuticals industry and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.

The Company has conducted analysis of the sensitivity of the impairment test to changes in the key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of CGU to which goodwill is allocated.The management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the related CGU.

The plans expose these companies to a number of actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk,longevity risk and inflation risk. The companies have developed policy guidelines for the allocation of assets to different classes with the objective of controlling risk and maintaining the right balance between risk and long-term returns in order to limit the cost to these companies of the benefits provided. To achieve this, investments are well diversified, such that the failure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.

(iv) Total Shareholder Return Units (TSRUs)

TSRUs are awarded to senior and other key management, and, beginning in 2016, to certain other employees. TSRUs entitle the holders to receive a number of shares of Pfizer Inc. with a value equal to the difference between the defined settlement price and the grant price, plus the dividends accumulated during the five-year or seven-year term, if and to the extent the total value is positive.

Value of TSRU grants is measured as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The values determined through this fair value methodology generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term.

B. Measurement of fair values

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of following:

Level 1 - category includes financial assets and liabilities, that are measured in whole or in significant part by reference to published quotes in an active market.

Level 2 - category includes financial assets and liabilities measured using a valuation technique based on assumptions that are supported by prices from observable current market transactions. These include assets and liabilities for which pricing is obtained via pricing services, but where prices have not been determined in an active market, financial assets with fair values based on broker quotes and assets that are valued using the Company's own valuation models whereby the material assumptions are market observable.

Level 3 - category includes financial assets and liabilities measured using valuation techniques based on non-market observable inputs. This means that fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. However, the fair value measurement objective remains the same, that is, to estimate an exit price from the perspective of the Company.

2. Financial risk management - objective and policies

(i) Financial risk management framework

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

  • Credit risk
  • Liquidity risk
  • Market risk
  • Currency risk

The Company's Board of Directors have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework.

The Company's risk management is carried out by the management in consultation with the Board of Directors. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific risk areas.

The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the above financial risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and adhoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

(ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and from its financing activities including deposits with banks and other financial instruments. The Company establishes an allowance for expected credit loss and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.

a) Trade receivables

The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amounting to 193.09 crore as at 31 March 2025 (31 March 2024:187.61 crore).

Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in India. The majority of the Company's trade receivables are due for maturity within 7 - 30 days from the date of billing to the customer.

The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry, the country and the state in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

b) Expected credit loss assessment for customers and loans

The Company allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (e.g. timeliness of payments, available press information etc.) and applying experienced credit judgement.

Exposures to customers and loans outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. The company provided for expected credit loss based on lifetime expected credit loss. (simplified approach).

c) Cash and bank balances

The Company held cash and bank balances of ₹2,800.98 crore as at 31 March 2025 (31 March 2024: ₹2,046.71 crore).Credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited as these are generally held or invested in deposits with banks with good credit ratings.

d) Investments

There are no significant investments made by the Company and hence credit risk is not significant.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and bank balances and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding bank borrowings. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements.

(iv) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices – will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk. Thus, our exposure to market risk is a function of revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs.

(v) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operations. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future.

These demands include alleged differential price demand on procurement of bulk drugs below the notified price, disputes on categorization of products, overcharging on the allegation of not following certain price control orders, allegation of delayed implementation of price ceiling notifications, etc. The Company had repudiated these demands and initiated legal proceedings to defend the Company against these alleged demands.
