- Full-year PAT up by 48% YoY to reach ₹102 crore (Including share of profit of associate company, VKT Pharma), driven by backward integration and mix
- FY26 EBITDA margin up 155 bps YoY to 19% helped by backward integration and mix
- Growth across key APIs supports FY26 revenue growth of 13%
- ₹280 crore Capex programme on track for completion by FY27
- The Board has recommended a final dividend of ₹0.40 (40%) per share
SMS Pharmaceuticals Limited (SMS Pharma) (NSE: SMSPHARMA; BSE:532815), a diversified and integrated pharmaceutical company specialising in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and complex Intermediates for global customers, has announced its audited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Commenting on the performance, Mr. P. Vamsi Krishna, Executive Director, stated:
"FY26 reflects the successful execution of the strategy we have pursued over the last several years—building scale in our core products, increasing backward integration and continuously diversifying our product portfolio. Our focus on backward integration has strengthened our competitive advantage. Combined with scale benefits across manufacturing, this has enabled us to expand profitability while establishing sustainable margins supported by structural cost advantages rather than temporary pricing benefits.
As part of our product mix strategy, we have increased our focus on segments like anti-inflammatory and ARV APIs, where the benefits of backward integration and scale are increasingly evident. Concurrently, we optimized our resource allocation by scaling back in areas with evolving dynamics, such as the anti-diabetic segment. These strategic measures enabled us to deliver a 13% revenue growth in FY26, along with healthy growth in EBITDA and PAT.
On the R&D front, we completed 12 DMF and CEP filings in FY26. We will maintain this momentum with multiple DMF, CEP, and dossier filings, targeting 10 submissions in FY27.
Looking ahead, we expect anti-inflammatory and ARV APIs, together with new product introductions and capacity additions, to remain key drivers of growth and profitability. As we continue to deepen backward integration, expand capacity and broaden our portfolio, we are well positioned to deliver over 15% revenue growth with EBITDA margins in the range of 20% in FY27.
VKT Pharma, our associate company, contributed a healthy ₹14 crores to the FY26 PAT. We anticipate its full-year contribution to be sustainable and strengthen into FY27."
