Building Momentum for a Stronger Future.
In February 2025, we outlined our Vision 2030, which aims to double our revenues from
FY24 to FY30, improve EBITDA margins to a 23% to 25% range, reduce Net debt to zero and
grow Return on Capital to high teens.
FY25 has been a transformative year for your Company. We have not only made huge

In February 2025, we outlined our Vision 2030, which aims to double our revenues from
FY24 to FY30, improve EBITDA margins to a 23% to 25% range, reduce Net debt to zero and
grow Return on Capital to high teens.
We also outlined growth levers for each business segment. In the Radiopharmaceutical
business, we aim to become the leader in the cardiac PET scan market through Ruby-Fill?.
We plan to launch new PET and SPECT products, as well as MIBG, our therapeutic drug for
patients with refractory and relapsed Neuroblastoma. In the radiopharmacy business, we
plan to add six PET radiopharmacies. In the Allergy Immunotherapy business, we plan to
strengthen our existing position and invest in
R&D to develop new products and new technologies. In the CDMO Sterile Injectable
business, we plan to double our capacity at Spokane by adding two new high-speed
injectable ll lines with isolator technology. In the CRDMO business, we shall continue to
add marquee large pharma companies as our customers, along with new capacity and
capabilities. In the API business, we plan to grow our CDMO and custom manufacturing
revenues. In the Generics business, new products from our ANDA pipeline will help us grow
in the US market, while we continue to grow pro tably in the non-US international
business.
We are happy to share that in FY25, we have made signi cant progress on all growth
levers. The Ruby-Fill? installations are on track. Our new Product, Sulfur
Colloid, gained traction during the year. In the Radiopharmacy business, our two PET
radiopharmacies have begun distributing PYLARIFY?, an industry-leading
prostate cancer diagnostic imaging agent.
In the Allergy Immunotherapy business, we sustained the growth momentum in the US
market and are working to bolster our sales in the markets outside the US.
In the CDMO Sterile Injectables business, Media lls have been completed on Line 3 and
multiple technology transfer programs are underway. The large innovator pharmaceutical
companies, for their US requirements, are now looking to create an alternative
manufacturing site in the US as a risk management measure in the event of tariffs imposed
by the US government. In light of that, we are starting to see excellent traction in RFPs
for Line 3. We expect to nalise these in FY26. We expect to reach peak utilisation for
Line 3 in three years from the start of commercial production now, versus an earlier
expectation of four years. Our Montreal facility began operations following the successful
implementation of corrective and preventive actions post US FDA (US Food and Drug
Administration) audit.
In the CRDMO business, we continue to add large pharma clients and scale these
contracts. We announced a strategic partnership with Pierre Fabre, France, to expand our
footprint in Europe in areas such as biologics (mAbs) and Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs).
We also increased our revenue mix towards CDMO, which aided in margin expansion in the
CDMO API business.
The Generics business achieved pro tability and delivered positive EBITDA margins. The
success of the overall turnaround strategy was hinged on continuous quality improvement,
reduction in overall cost and scaling up pro table products. We have secured approval of
seven ANDAs in the last year. We have also acquired two ANDAs.
In the Proprietary Novel Drug business, the global clinical trials for our lead
programs, Phase II trial for JBI -802 for Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) and other
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) and Phase I trial for JBI -778 for non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC) and high-grade Glioma are actively enrolling patients and progressing in
line with our expectations.
The Company has embarked on a renewable energy implementation journey across its
facilities in India to enable a reduction in both cost and carbon footprint. In FY25, the
Company's subsidiary, Jubilant Biosys Limited, entered into a power purchase agreement and
security subscription and shareholder agreement with Isharays Energy Two Private Limited
for the purchase of renewable energy generated through captive power arrangement for its
facilities located in Noida and Greater Noida.

the US government. They are looking to partner with CDMO companies that have an onshore
presence in the US. Many large companies, including Eli Lilly, P zer, Merck and Roche,
have announced plans to increase investments in US manufacturing.

witnessing powerful industry tailwinds in the PET Radiopharma industry. On the therapeutic
side, more than 10 new products are expected to be commercially available in the market
from 2029, which will aid in growing the PET imaging industry. The proposed investment in
6 radiopharmacies is underway. These will be commercially operational from FY28 onwards.

expectation of four years.
In the CRDMO business, the medium-term outlook remains positive. In the short term, the
business is trying to diversify its customer base and in the medium term, it is adding
development' capabilities in addition to research and manufacturing. In the CDMO API
business, we are focused on driving higher capacity utilisation through CDMO and custom
generics manufacturing.
In the Generics business, we plan to launch six to eight products per annum in our US
and non-US international markets. In line with our plan, we are ramping up exports to the
US markets in a meaningful and gradual manner. We have also started ramping up supplies of
products from our Contract manufacturing partners to the US market. We expect to increase
pro tability and return to growth in nancial year 2026.
In the Proprietary Novel Drugs business, we shall look forward to the interim data from

We remain focused on our strategy to strengthen our position in each of our businesses,
creating shareholder value.
