Question: Bharat Celly - Equirus Securities Pvt Ltd - Analyst

Question: Sumit Gupta - Centrum Broking Ltd (CN) - Analyst
: Hi, thanks for the opportunity again. So, I wanted to understand the gross margin aspect. Since in FY'27, your API, like the in-house API, would be
integrated, and so, let's say by FY'27-FY'28, how should we see gross margin faring up?
Sanjay Majmudar - Senores Pharmaceuticals Ltd - Non-Executive Non-Independent Chairman of the Board
So, Sumit, we have already given an indication that a sustainable gross margin will be in the 60% to 65% range. Exact working once the API kicks
in is a little premature at this point in time, but at this point in time, you work with this number.
Question: Sumit Gupta - Centrum Broking Ltd (CN) - Analyst
: So, that's what I'm saying. So, as of now, it is at around 55, right? Just give me one minute.

NOVEMBER 06, 2025 / 11:30AM, SENO.NS - Q2 2026 Senores Pharmaceuticals Ltd Earnings Call
Question: Hitaindra Pradhan - Maximal Capital - Analyst
: Hi, sir. I hope I'm audible. Sir, my question is related to your medium-term growth guidance of 25% plus, gross margin of 65% -- 60% to 65% and
regulated market 40% plus. So, there has been some upside to the EBITDA margin from your regulated market business this quarter because
previously it used to be around 35%.
So, I just want to understand what is contributing to that? I mean, the new launches because as per your previous kind of description in the last
quarter, so there have been, like, government channel controlled substances that you kind of sell and your own ANDA as well.
So, in one, there was a lower margin, and your own ANDA, you kind of generate licensing, and then there is, like, profit share as well. So, that kind
of gets some additional margin or upside to your margins. So, if you can just elaborate on your revenue profile when you launch your own ANDA,
and what the margin outlook is, from the time you launch to whatever timeline when the sales pick up, and all. So, that would be helpful.
Question: Hitaindra Pradhan - Maximal Capital - Analyst
: Got it, sir. But in a regulated market, it would be fair to say that it would be kind of a J-curve. Initially, upfront, you receive licensing, and then as
the sales pick up, there will be profits, and the margin profile can improve for themselves, like, depending on if the product kind of continues on
its sales trajectory and all, especially with your own ANDA, like, you -- what you sell.
Question: Hitaindra Pradhan - Maximal Capital - Analyst
: 42%. Yes, sir. Okay, sir. Okay. And then the second and the final question is on your supply chain for your API. So, you, like, highlighted last quarter
as well, like you kind of get a very marginal quantity from China and all. But given the tariff situation and the disruptions around, where do you
source it from? What is the supply chain that you're looking at, especially for regulated markets? And if you can just give some more color on that.
Question: Hitaindra Pradhan - Maximal Capital - Analyst
: And sir, the API facility backward integration, how much of your like, you say you will be consuming captively, like, you plan to do of your entire
consumption from your own facilities, or you will still be like, importing from outside post the API plant is operational?
Question: Hitaindra Pradhan - Maximal Capital - Analyst
: It will depend on the spot prices, sir, during that time, I know the decision of.
Question: Hitaindra Pradhan - Maximal Capital - Analyst
: Yes. Okay, sir.
Question: Hardik Gandhi - HPMG Shares & Securities Limited - Analyst
: Hello, sir. Congratulations on an absolute set of numbers. I just wanted to know one thing, given that we have the exclusive rights for a lot of brands
for the US and CGT things, right? So, what is our right to win there, and what is stopping other players from doing the same? I just wanted your
thoughts on that.
Question: Hardik Gandhi - HPMG Shares & Securities Limited - Analyst
: Understood. So, just to know more on this, what are the risk mitigants we have in place, or just from a strategy point of view, because I'm seeing
that the exclusivity period is just for 180 days, right? So, I'm just thinking from a different point of view that we are at a very healthy margin right
now. So -- and given that we are listed, anyone can see these numbers, and it could be either a competitor or the regulator himself, and ask for a
lower margin product. So, what are the checks in place? After six months, we haven't found ourselves without a customer on that front.
Question: Sanath Vaze - Centrum - Analyst
: Hello, sir. Thank you for the opportunity. Am I audible?
Question: Sanath Vaze - Centrum - Analyst
