PI Industries reported topline growth of 37% YoY to Rs 1162 crore against our estimate of Rs 1113 crore. Growth was led by both CSM (+40% YoY) and domestic formulation (+26% YoY). OPM expanded 176 bps YoY to 23.7% leading to EBITDA growth of 48% YoY to Rs 275.5 crore against our estimate of Rs 259.2 crore.
