Jonathan Hunt, managing director and chief executive officer, Syngene International, said, “While the fourth quarter performance came in lower than expected, the underlying driver - reduced demand for research and development services within US biotech stemming from a difficult funding environment - is well understood and already showing positive signs of recovery.

Despite the business environment, we delivered growth during the year. This resilience is the result of our broad operating span and the investments made to establish our development and manufacturing divisions with biologics, in particular, delivering a strong performance throughout the year.

I’m encouraged by the recent step up in new funding into US biotech and expect this to drive a recovery in demand for research and development services translating into revenue growth in the latter part of the year.

Looking ahead, we expect revenue growth in fiscal year 2025 to be in the range of high single digits to low double digits with momentum building up during the year. We expect the EBITDA margin to be similar to the level delivered in fiscal year 2024 and PAT growth in single digits.”
