Rationale

Material Event

The company has shared the FY2023 audited financial statements and a few updates on H1 FY2024 performance on January
08, 2023.

Impact of the material event

Sathya Deeptha Pharmaceuticals Limited’s (SDPL) FY2023 audited financials were materially weaker than the provisional
financials shared by the company earlier as indicated by lower operating margin of 7.2% (as against 12.8% as per provisional
financials) and lower net margins leading to weaker debt protection metrics. Based on the discussions with the management,
ICRA understands overestimation of goods in transit inventory led to lower raw material costs and higher profitability as per
provisional financials. Muted realization growth owing to high competition has impacted the company’s margins in FY2023.
However, the company’s margins improved in H1 FY2024 on account of change in customer profile towards margin-accretive
clients and geographies. It added new customers such as Cipla Limited, Emcure Pharmaceuticals Limited, Hetero Drugs Limited,
Seagen (SGEN) Pharmaceuticals (based out of Russia) etc., In H1 FY2024, the company recorded revenue of Rs. 77.0 crore and
PBT margin of 3.2% (PBT margin in FY2023 was 0.7%). ICRA, will monitor the company’s performance of the company and
would take appropriate rating action, if necessary.
