Dear stakeholders,
I am delighted to present that FY25 has been a transformative year for Laurus Labs,
marked by consistent progress, innovation, and a renewed focus on delivering integrated
solutions across the life sciences value chain. We have strengthened our position as a
trusted global partner, continuously advancing on our strategic priorities while staying
deeply committed to quality, sustainability, and long-term value for our stakeholders.
Industry landscape
The global life sciences and pharmaceutical industry has continued to evolve, driven by
shifting healthcare demands, increasing complexity in drug development, and a greater
focus on speed, specialisation, and supply chain resilience. As a result, we have seen
increased demand for outsourcing from development to manufacturing services with clients
seeking agile, integrated partners who can support them throughout the product lifecycle.
This year, we have leveraged our scientific expertise, scalable manufacturing capacity,
and commitment to operational excellence, positioning ourselves to meet these demands and
remain a leader in the market.
Our ability to rapidly scale production and our extensive portfolio of active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and finished dosage forms (FDFs) and Contract
Development and Manufacturing (CDMO) positions us as a key player in the global
pharmaceutical supply chain. As a result, we are well-placed to seize opportunities
arising from supply chain de-risking driven by geopolitical factors.
Delivering integrated and diversified growth
Over the year, we successfully maintained momentum across our business divisions,
delivering strong performance through our integrated model. We achieved continued growth
in our CDMO business, which became a larger share of our overall portfolio, while also
seeing consistent contributions from our generics and API division. We have diversified
our revenue streams across customer segments and global regions, including North America,
Europe, and the Rest of the World, ensuring that we adapt to market dynamics and reinforce
our relationships with key clients.
Strengthening innovation and capabilities
Our commitment to innovation remains at the core of our strategy. We have proactively
invested in R&D capabilities, infrastructure, and technology platforms to enhance our
ability to deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions. We made significant
advancements in sustainable and continuous manufacturing, expanded our capacities, and
successfully integrated new technologies into our operations. Our efforts to build a
comprehensive, scalable R&D platform have positioned us as an efficient, high-quality
partner, and we are well-equipped to support customers from early-stage development
through to commercial-scale production.
Upholding quality, compliance and sustainability
We have maintained our focus on One Quality for All Markets, upholding the
highest standards of quality, safety, and compliance across all our operations. This year,
we continued to make significant strides in our sustainability agenda by enhancing our
energy management systems, securing renewable energy partnerships, and applying green
technologies in our operations. Our dedication to ESG principles was also recognised
through several external awards, reaffirming our position as a responsible corporate
citizen.
Investing in people and culture
Our teams have been integral to our success. We have fostered a culture of scientific
curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement, which has allowed us to drive
innovation, deliver excellence, and make a meaningful impact for our customers and
communities. Our investment in talent and employee development continues to be a priority,
and we are proud of the passion and dedication our teams bring to work every day.
Looking ahead
As we look ahead, we remain focused on strengthening our integrated capabilities,
scaling our global presence, and deepening our customer partnerships. We will continue to
execute on our strategic vision, ensuring that we remain positioned for sustainable
long-term growth and create enduring value for all our stakeholders.
