Guidance from management

Management expects to achieve 16% EBITDA margins excluding Omeras in the next financial year, with a strong focus on improving profitability and operational efficiencies.

What management said

So I think in the Q2 call, I think the discussion was not related to the overall margins for the second half of the year and also for the next financial year because the first 6 months had already passed by. If you adjust for the Omeras revenues and the losses incurred there, which was, of course, also expected from a loss perspective, the adjusted EBITDA margin for the business, the ongoing business, is close to ove...

Yes, that would be correct. That would be correct. Again, 16% EBITDA margin, I would expect from the entire business with the exception of Omeras because Omeras is right now in the turnaround mode. So while we expect Omeras to be profitable, Omeras may not, by itself, deliver 16% at a stand-alone basis. So on an average, it could drag the average down a little bit, but excluding Omeras, we will be at 16%, yes.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns regarding the missed EBITDA margin guidance and the impact of geopolitical issues on demand. There were also questions about the integration of Omeras and its future profitability potential.
