Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (PSAI)
-- Q1FY26 revenues at 8.2 billion, YoY growth of 7% and QoQ decline of 14%.

-- Q1FY26 at 56.9% (GG: 60.9%, PSAI: 13.2%), a YoY decline of 350 basis points (bps) and a QoQ improvement of 134 bps. YoY decline was primarily due to higher price erosion in generics segment and reduced operating leverage, partially offset by favorable product mix.
Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
