Statements for the Financial Year ended March 31, 2026.

1. State of the affairs of the Company

Against a macro backdrop where the Indian economy preserved overall momentum, the Company recorded
consistent growth across all quarters, driven by the innovation-led 'Idea First Series' launch and targeted market
initiatives. All core categories achieved growth, while both retail and online channels expanded steadily, positioning
the Company for continued revenue and margin improvement.

The company also underwent a refreshed brand identity, "Celebrating Change," which strengthened consumer
relevance and helped us gain and sustain market share across core categories.

Profitability improved significantly through premiumisation, with EBITDA margins expanding through spend
optimisation, distributor margin restructuring, and enhanced product mix, despite higher advertising outlays.
All core categories recorded double-digit growth, while auxiliary segments rebounded with new launches in
chimneys and flasks.

The introduction of Butterfly Assist , a comprehensive post-purchase service platform, further enhanced the
consumer experience.

These strategic initiatives position the Company to sustain growth and profitability.
