Management Comments

S

Sandeep Rao

MD & CEO

FY25 was a Reset year for Solara. While we regrettably missed our guidance both on Revenues and EBITDA, we continued to focus on profitable high margin and high quality business which led to Gross Margin expansion from 37.8% in FY24 to 51.5% in FY25 and EBITDA margin expansion from -7.1% in FY24 to 16.5% in FY25. The miss on the Revenue and EBITDA guidance is attributable to intense competition on the Ibuprofen range of products. We continued to do better than expected on the remainder of our portfolio. Our product mix continues to be healthy with a majority of Revenues coming from the Regulated markets. Going ahead, we will continue our ongoing actions on improving profitability through cost improvement programs, operating cost optimization, optimizing working capital and debt as we pivot the organization from reset to growth.
