Highlights from the management commentary
The company has reiterated its full-year guidance of early-teen growth in
revenue and EBITDA.
The company expects 2H to be better than 1H. Having said this, 3QFY25
margins could get hit due to a one-off opex in CHG business.
PIRPHARM is seeing a rise in order inquiries and site visits, driven by the
Biosecure Act and supply chain diversification efforts. This is expected to
help the company gradually secure more business over the medium term.
