Indegene Q1 FY27 Results Analysis: Revenue Surges 40%, PAT Flat on Elevated Costs (INDGN)

Indegene Ltd's Q1 FY27 numbers came in strong, with revenue of Rs. 1,063.10 Cr (+39.73% YoY) and PAT growth of -0.17% YoY. Here's a quick read of what worked, what to watch, and what management said.

Quarter Snapshot

Indegene delivered strong revenue growth of 39.73% YoY, driven by acquisitions and organic momentum. EBITDA margin saw its first sequential improvement in a year, rising 211 bps QoQ to 16.39%, in line with management's guidance. However, PAT was flat due to elevated D&A and acquisition costs, and the margin remains 402 bps below last year. Management's trajectory towards a ~20% margin in H2 FY27 is on track, supported by declining D&A from Q2. The key risk remains the pending tax dispute of over Rs.167 Cr.
