Windlas Biotech reported audited standalone and consolidated financial results for FY ended March 31, 2026. Consolidated revenue grew 19.0% to Rs. 9,040.89 million from Rs. 7,598.78 million, driven by the pharmaceutical business segment. Profit after tax (PAT) increased 9.0% to Rs. 664.56 million from Rs. 609.94 million. EBITDA (operating profit before working capital changes) stood at Rs. 1,237.16 million, with finance costs at Rs. 48.26 million and depreciation at Rs. 307.43 million. The Board recommended a dividend of Rs. 6.30 per share (126% on face value of Rs. 5). The auditors, J C Bhalla & Co, issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on both standalone and consolidated results with no qualifications. Key corporate actions included a share buyback of 470,000 shares at Rs. 1,000 per share (Rs. 470 million) completed in April 2026, and the dissolution of Windlas Inc., USA as a subsidiary effective March 31, 2026. ESOP expenses surged to Rs. 166.11 million from Rs. 24.60 million due to the new Windlas Plan 2025.
Revenue growth of ~19% is strong but slightly below the 20% threshold, and PAT growth of 9% is below the 25% threshold — neither flag meets high-growth thresholds. The clean audit opinion, healthy operating cash flow of Rs. 1,049 million, and low debt-to-equity ratio (~0.05) are positive. The large Rs. 470 million buyback signals confidence but reduces equity. Dividend of Rs. 6.30/share reflects shareholder-friendly intent.
