Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Beta Drugs Limited reported consolidated revenue from operations of INR 137.49 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, representing a sequential increase of 9.51% compared to INR 125.55 crore in the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2026. Total income for the quarter reached INR 139.24 crore.
Profitability expanded during the second quarter, with profit before tax (PBT) rising by 16.95% sequentially to INR 25.78 crore from INR 22.04 crore in Q1 FY27. Profit after tax (PAT) after non-controlling interests reached INR 19.28 crore, reflecting a 16.98% increase over the previous quarter's PAT of INR 16.49 crore.

Operating performance during the period was shaped by diverse segment trends. While the branded oncology segment experienced temporary moderation due to a scheduled production shutdown for debottlenecking and capacity expansion at the Adley Formulation Plant alongside platinum API supply constraints, orders successfully shifted into the second half of the fiscal year.
Conversely, growth during the quarter was bolstered by robust momentum in contract manufacturing operations (CMO), a 95% rebound in the exports segment during Q2 FY27, and continued strength in the Nivian IVF business following deeper penetration into organized fertility chains.
Total expenses for the quarter stood at INR 113.45 crore, which included cost of materials consumed of INR 61.82 crore, employee benefit expenses of INR 20.45 crore, finance costs of INR 1.64 crore, and depreciation and amortization charges of INR 4.61 crore.
