The recoverable amount of the above CGU has been assessed using a value-in-use model. Value in use is calculated as the net present value of the projected pre-tax cash flows plus a terminal value of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated. Initially a pre-tax discount rate is applied to calculate the net present value of the pre-tax cash flows.

The cash flow projections include specific estimates for five years developed using internal forecasts and a terminal growth rate thereafter of 2% (31 March 2024: 2%). The planning horizon reflects the assumptions for short-to-mid term market developments.

Discount rate reflects the current market assessment of the risks. The discount rate is estimated based on the weighted average cost of capital for the Company. Pre-tax discount rate used for the year ended 31 March 2025 was 16.20% (31 March 2024: 16.36%).

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management's assessment of future trends in the pharmaceuticals industry and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.

The Company has conducted analysis of the sensitivity of the impairment test to changes in the key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of CGU to which goodwill is allocated.The management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the related CGU.

Trustees administer the contributions made by the Company to the gratuity scheme.

The plans expose these companies to a number of actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk,longevity risk and inflation risk. The companies have developed policy guidelines for the allocation of assets to different classes with the objective of controlling risk and maintaining the right balance between risk and long-term returns in order to limit the cost to these companies of the benefits provided.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the ESOP outstanding at the year end is 0.85 years.

(ii) Restricted stock units (RSUs)

RSUs which, when vested entitle the holder to receive a specified number of shares of Pfizer Inc. including shares resulting from dividend equivalents paid on such RSUs, are accounted for using a fair value based method at the date of grant. The value of each RSU grant is estimated on the grant date. The fair value based method utilizes the closing price of Pfizer Inc. common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of the RSU is Nil.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the RSUs outstanding at the year end is 1.41 years.

Value of TSRU grants is measured as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The values determined through this fair value methodology generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term.

b) Valuation of Restricted stock units

The fair value of Restricted stock units granted during the period has been measured using the closing price of common stock as of the grant date.

c) Valuation of Portfolio performance shares

34 Leases

(a) Company as a Lessee

The lease period for these contracts varies from 1 year to 6 years except for Goa plant having a lease period of 99 years and in certain cases, mainly relating to rent of (parts of) buildings, with extension options. The Right-of-use assets and Lease liabilities as disclosed below, do not include short term and low value leases. In general, as usual with leases, the Company's obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor's title to or legal ownership of the leased assets.

B. Measurement of fair values

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of following:

Level 1 - category includes financial assets and liabilities, that are measured in whole or in significant part by reference to published quotes in an active market.

Level 2 - category includes financial assets and liabilities measured using a valuation technique based on assumptions that are supported by prices from observable current market transactions. These include assets and liabilities for which pricing is obtained via pricing services, but where prices have not been determined in an active market, financial assets with fair values based on broker quotes and assets that are valued using the Company's own valuation models whereby the material assumptions are market observable.

Level 3 - category includes financial assets and liabilities measured using valuation techniques based on non-market observable inputs. This means that fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. However, the fair value measurement objective remains the same, that is, to estimate an exit price from the perspective of the Company.

2. Financial risk management - objective and policies

(i) Financial risk management framework

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

- Credit risk

- Liquidity risk

- Market risk

- Currency risk

The Company's Board of Directors have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework.

The Company's risk management is carried out by the management in consultation with the Board of Directors. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific risk areas.

The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the above financial risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and adhoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

(ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and from its financing activities including deposits with banks and other financial instruments. The Company establishes an allowance for expected credit loss and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.

a) Trade receivables

The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amounting to '193.09 crore as at 31 March 2025 (31 March 2024: '187.61 crore).

Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in India. The majority of the Company's trade receivables are due for maturity within 7 - 30 days from the date of billing to the customer.

The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry, the country and the state in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

b) Expected credit loss assessment for customers and loans

The Company allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (e.g. timeliness of payments, available press information etc.) and applying experienced credit judgement.

Exposures to customers and loans outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. The company provided for expected credit loss based on lifetime expected credit loss. (simplified approach).

c) Cash and bank balances

The Company held cash and bank balances of ?2,800.98 crore as at 31 March 2025 (31 March 2024: ?2,046.71 crore).Credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited as these are generally held or invested in deposits with banks with good credit ratings.

d) Investments

There are no significant investments made by the Company and hence credit risk is not significant.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and bank balances and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding bank borrowings. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements.

(iv) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices - will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk. Thus, our exposure to market risk is a function of revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs.

(v) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operations. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future.

Every percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currency would not have a significant impact on statement of profit and loss for the year ended 31 March 2025.
