COMPANY PERFORMANCE:
The Consolidated net sales for FY2026 were Rs. 1,62,134 lakhs, increased by 15.5% as compared to Rs. 1,40,380 lakhs in FY2025. Consolidated EBITDA for FY2026 was reported as Rs. 18,268 lakhs as compared to Rs. 15,832 lakhs in FY2025. EBITDA margin for the year under review was 11.27% compared to 11.28% in FY2025.
The Aerospace continued to be the primary growth driver, with revenue increasing by 27.6% for the full year, driven by resilient performance and execution of commercial order books. While revenue momentum remains robust, profitability was broadly stable and grew moderately during the year, indicating some margin normalization amid growth investments and project mix.
The Hydraulics segment reported 6.4% year-on-year growth, led by strong performance in India Hydraulics driven by robust OEM and aftermarket demand. However, UK Hydraulics revenue declined due to reduced OEM demand and planned operational rationalization on transfer of technology and product lines to improve profitability.
The Metallurgy segment recorded a year-over-year growth of 6.9% in INR terms. However, the business continued to operate under challenging market conditions and navigating a complex transition amid structural shifts, high energy costs, and fierce global competition in Germany.
SEGMENT PERFORMANCE:
AEROSPACE & DEFENCE: The Aerospace segment represents increasingly the most important strategic area for the Group; it remained the Company's largest contributor to revenue and profitability in FY2026. It grew 27.6% y-o-y in FY2026, recording Revenue of Rs. 77,561 lakhs compared to Rs. 60,785 lakhs in FY2025. Segment EBITDA for the year was Rs. 17,755 lakhs, against Rs. 15,783 lakhs in FY2025. While revenue momentum remains robust, profitability was broadly stable and grew moderately during the year, indicating some margin normalization amid growth investments and project mix.
The segment remains well positioned for strong growth, supported by strong demand across commercial and defence aerospace programs, increasing India's growing role in the global aerospace supply chain. Ongoing customer programs and new strategic partnerships are expected to support long¬ term business visibility and growth.
Favourable global context: Global Aerospace and Defence demand remains robust, supporting sustained segment growth and long-term program visibility. As OEMs diversify and deepen global supply chains, India is becoming an increasingly important aerospace manufacturing and localisation hub, placing our Group at the forefront of the beneficiaries from this movement.
Engineering capabilities and manufacturing excellence:
The Group is strengthening its position through advanced manufacturing, precision engineering and execution of complex aerostructure programs. The readiness of the first complete shipset of all eight Airbus A220 doors from Bangalore ahead-of-schedule demonstrated our strong execution capability and growing manufacturing sophistication. The Group invests in next-generation aerospace, progress along the value chain, supply chain integration, and exacting quality standards. It views disciplined programme ramp-up and long-term execution excellence as the keys to enhancing competitiveness, margins and return on capital employed.
Besides, the Group is well advanced in the development of Dynauton, the UAV internal startup it has recently incorporated, and its purely indigenous technological capabilities, product line and industrial capacity.
Solid customers, diversified programmes: Growth is underpinned by long-term programmes with major OEMs including Airbus, Boeing, Bell Textron, Dassault Aviation and Deutsche Aircraft. Key platforms include the Airbus A220, Airbus A330, Dassault Falcon 6X and D328eco, with a strong order book expected to support continued revenue growth in the coming years.
Our focus remains on scaling complex aerostructure programs, deepening relationships with global OEMs and strengthening advanced manufacturing and engineering capabilities. We continue to invest in next-generation commercial and security applications to enhance long-term competitiveness, margins and execution capabilities.
HYDRAULICS: The Hydraulics segment grew 6.4% y-o-y, recording a revenue of Rs. 48,738 lakhs compared to Rs. 45,804 lakhs in FY2025. Segment EBITDA for the year was Rs. 3,587 lakhs, against Rs. 2,415 lakhs in FY2025. The Indian Hydraulics business grew by 22.5%, while the UK business declined 25.5% due to product rationalisation and ongoing restructuring initiatives. However, UK Hydraulics revenue declined due to reduced OEM demand and planned operational rationalization on transfer of technology and product lines to improve profitability.
Segment is expected to witness gradual improvement in margins supported by stable domestic demand, increasing farm mechanization and infrastructure activity in India. UK restructuring initiatives are expected to aid margin recovery over the medium term.
Macro Trends: The Hydraulics business is benefiting from structural growth drivers in India, including rising farm mechanisation, infrastructure-led economic development and supportive government policies for agricultural and construction equipment. Domestic demand remains resilient across OEM, industrial and aftermarket channels.
Business Positioning & Capabilities: The company continues to position itself as a global leader in gear pump manufacturing. Management is focused on improving long-term profitability through supply chain integration, manufacturing efficiency, cost optimisation and restructuring initiatives. The returns from coordination and integrated operations between the Indian and UK operations having substantially diminished, the Group completed the transfer of relevant manufacturing activities and capacity and reorganisation of manufacturing to Bangalore. This and the reprioritising inside the product line is intended to create a leaner and more competitive operating model, enhancing throughput, delivery responsiveness and operational agility, while rationalising capital employment.
Customers, End Markets & Outlook: Performance was supported by steady demand from domestic OEMs, industrial customers and aftermarket channels, particularly in agriculture and construction equipment. Improving mechanisation trends and infrastructure activity in India are expected to support gradual growth, while expansion of the aftermarket and industrial businesses are meant to improve resilience, margin profile and capital efficiency over time. The Company continues to prioritize cost optimization, manufacturing efficiency and expansion of its aftermarket and industrial presence to improve long-term profitability and competitiveness.
METALLURGY: The Metallurgy segment grew 6.9% in INR terms y-o-y, recording a revenue of Rs. 35,810 lakhs compared to same period last year Rs. 33,483 lakhs. Segment EBITDA was Rs. 283 lakhs compared to Rs. 1,004 lakhs in FY2025. However, the business continued to operate under challenging market conditions and navigating a complex transition amid structural shifts, high energy costs, and fierce global competition in Germany.
The segment continues to face a cautious demand environment in Europe, particularly across automotive-linked industrial markets. However, gradual demand stabilisation, easing inflationary pressures and increasing opportunities in specialised engineering and defence applications are expected to support the business over medium to long term.
Macro Trends: The Metallurgy segment continues to operate in a difficult European environment, impacted by weakness in the German automotive sector, elevated energy costs and broader geopolitical uncertainty. Commercial demand is driven by caution, although easing inflation has provided a glimmer of light. A growing German defence budget and new security priorities offer new opportunities and may provide a support to pivot towards promising product diversification and regional industrial stability.
Business Positioning & Capabilities: The company is responding through very strict cost discipline, operational efficiency measures and a strategic shift toward higher-value applications. Management is actively seeking new markets where its capabilities are relevant, particularly in defence. Longer term, it may consider capabilities in aerospace castings, forgings and specialised engineering to create long¬ term resilience and enhance margins, but with a strong focus on capital employment.
Customers, End Markets & Outlook: Near-term performance will remain influenced by raw material availability, commodity input costs, and financing conditions for end customers. Over time, increased exposure to defence is necessary to reduce dependence on the weaker automotive industry and support future profitable growth.
However, our focus remains on cost discipline, operational efficiency and improving the product mix toward higher-value added. The Company continues to advance diversification into aerospace, defence and specialised engineering segments to strengthen margins, reduce dependence on traditional automotive demand cycles and improve long-term business resilience.
For more information on Performance and state of affairs for the Company and its subsidiaries, please refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis Report.
CAPITAL ALLOCATION AND DEBT MANAGEMENT:
The Company continued to invest in strategic growth initiatives and operational capabilities during the year. Over the last decade, the Group has undertaken a series of portfolio rationalisation, refinancing and non-core asset divestment initiatives, including the monetisation of selected real estate and infrastructure assets, with the objective of strengthening the balance sheet while continuing to invest in long-term Aerospace and Advanced Engineering capabilities. The Board and management remain focused on disciplined capital allocation and prudent leverage management in support of sustainable long-term industrial development and optimal capital efficiency.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE BOARD, ITS COMMITTEES, AND INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORS:
In compliance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI Listing Regulations, the Company undertook the annual performance evaluation of the Board for the financial year 2025-26. The evaluation framework was designed in line with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the SEBI Listing Regulations, and the Guidance Note on Board Evaluation issued by SEBI in January 2019.
The evaluation process was conducted through a structured questionnaire covering qualitative and quantitative parameters, along with feedback based on a rating mechanism. The evaluation covered:
(i) the performance of the Board as a whole;
(ii) the performance of each Director on an individual basis;
(iii) the performance of the Chairperson of the Board; and
(iv) the performance of all Board committees.
The Board evaluation focused on parameters such as the composition and role of the Board, the quality and effectiveness of communication and relationships, the functioning of Board committees, review of performance and compensation of Executive Directors, succession planning, strategic guidance, Board culture, governance standards, and the discharge of specific duties and obligations.
The evaluation of individual Directors was based on parameters including participation and contribution at Board and committee meetings, representation of shareholder interests and enhancement of shareholder value, the ability to provide strategic guidance and governance oversight, understanding of the Company's strategy and risk environment, independence of judgment, and safeguarding the interests of the Company and its minority shareholders. Separate evaluations were carried out for the Chairperson, Executive Directors, Non¬ Executive Directors, and Independent Directors.
The evaluation of committees considered factors such as the adequacy of their independence, the frequency and effectiveness of meetings, the quality of discussions, and the effectiveness of their recommendations and advice to the Board.
Throughout the year, the Board and its committees had multiple opportunities for interaction, both collectively and in smaller groups, including dedicated meetings of Independent Directors and one-on-one discussions with the Chairperson. These deliberations provided valuable insights, enhancing the quality of governance and collective decision-making.
Discussions during the evaluation process also focused on identifying ways to further strengthen the effectiveness of the Board and its committees, particularly in the context of the evolving business environment and regulatory landscape. The Board reviewed the structure, composition, functioning, and interaction with management, and identified actionable areas for continuous improvement.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee, through its chairman, led the evaluation process and presented the findings to the Board. The overall assessment concluded that the Board, its committees, and individual Directors function cohesively and effectively, with periodic reporting by committees to the Board ensuring transparency and alignment.
The Annual Performance Evaluation is conducted in a paperless manner, with documents securely uploaded and accessed electronically. This approach has led to significant benefits, including paper conservation, reduced cycle time for the evaluation process, and enhanced confidentiality of information.
The Board acknowledged and appreciated the significant contributions of the Chairperson, Executive Directors, Non¬ Executive Directors, and Independent Directors towards the Company's growth and governance practices.
