2. STATE OF THE COMPANY'S AFFAIRS

Consolidated-

Revenue from operations (net of rebate/drawback of taxes and duties) for year ended March 31, 2026 stood at INR 878.62 Crores Crores as against INR 654.75 Crores for the previous year ended March 31, 2025.

Net Profit after Tax (‘NPAT') for year ended March 31, 2026 stood at INR 33.57 Crores as against INR 40.66 Crores for year ended March 31, 2025.

Earnings before interest, depreciation taxes and amortization (‘EBIDTA') for year ended March 31, 2026 stood at INR 92.24 Crores as against INR 92.23 Crores for year ended March 31, 2025.

The consolidated revenue of the Company for FY 2025-26 increased 33% Year-on-Year, reflecting strong execution and customer demand despite the impact of tariff disruptions throughout April 2025 February 2026 and significant uncertainty affecting industry and global markets.

The company reported its lowest EBITDA margin of 2.66% in Q2FY26, primarily due to mark-to-market losses on its USD/INR forward contracts following the sharp depreciation of the rupee, with the USD/INR exchange rate moving from Rs. 85.7 to 88.8 amid trade-related policy volatility.

EBITDA margins subsequently rebounded to 13.25% in Q4FY26, up from 9.15% in Q3FY26, supported by operating leverage from higher revenues, the unwinding of tariff-related impacts, a more favorable USD/INR environment, and improving sentiment around trade agreements.

Management remains optimistic that margins will continue to improve as revenues scale further.

Standalone-

Revenue from operations (net of rebate/drawback of taxes and duties) for year ended March 31, 2026 stood at INR 815.74 Crores as against INR 623.72 Crores for the previous year ended March 31, 2025.
