MATERIAL CHANGES AND COMMITMENT
There have been no material changes or commitments affecting the financial position of the Company which occurred between the end of the financial year and the date of this report, to which the financial statements relate. There has been no change in the nature of the business of the Company.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Overview
FY 2025-26 will be remembered not merely as a year of operational navigation, but as a year in which Symphony strengthened the structural foundations of its global business.
There are years when performance is shaped by demand cycles. And there are years when management attention is directed towards something deeper - institutional clarity, capital discipline, and strategic
simplification. The year under review belonged decisively to the latter category.
For several years, the Australian business had remained an overhang on consolidated perception and financial interpretation. What began with strategic promise gradually evolved into a source of operational complexity and investor concern as market realities in Australia changed materially. During FY 2025-26, Symphony addressed this issue comprehensively and conclusively.
With full impairments undertaken, balance sheet exposures aligned to market realities and capital linkages effectively neutralised, the Company has now drawn a clear line under a prolonged legacy issue. The importance of this development lies not merely in accounting finality, but in institutional reset. Future performance will increasingly reflect the strength of ongoing operating businesses rather than the residue of historical drag.
This transition marks an important moment in Symphony's evolution: the movement from complexity towards operational clarity.
A. Domestic operations: Resilience in a weak summer
The domestic cooling environment during FY 2025-26 was characterised by an unusually muted seasonal cycle. Summer arrived late, remained inconsistent across regions and was repeatedly disrupted by unseasonal weather patterns. The result was subdued industry-wide demand, elevated inventory across trade channels and greater caution in procurement behaviour.
In such years, growth rates across the industry often converge. However, relative competitive strength becomes more visible.
Symphony retained its leadership position in the Indian air cooler market not because the industry enjoyed strong tailwinds, but because the Company continued to benefit from structural advantages built over decades brand recall, deep
distribution relationships, product differentiation, and category expertise.
At the centre of this resilience lies a defining characteristic of the Company: Symphony remains the most category-focused participant in the industry.
For many appliance companies, air cooling represents one among several categories. For Symphony, cooling remains the organising principle of the enterprise. This singularity of focus continues to translate into sharper product cycles, stronger dealer alignment, better category understanding and higher share of consumer mindspace.
Expanding beyond seasonal dependence
Even as Symphony retained leadership in air cooling, the Company continued expanding its presence across adjacent comfort and appliance categories.
The strategic rationale behind this expansion is deliberate rather than opportunistic. Categories such as tower fans, kitchen cooling fans, large- space ventilation systems and storage water heaters are viewed as structurally adjacent extensions of the Company's core competencies in airflow management, climate control and household comfort.
In tower fans, Symphony identified a clear gap within the existing market landscape. Products were often aesthetically attractive but operationally weak, or technically functional but visually dated.
The Company's approach has been to integrate both dimensions - design and performance - into a unified proposition emphasising airflow efficiency, acoustic comfort and modern form.
Similarly, Symphony's entry into storage water heaters is guided less by competitive aggression and more by market headroom. Despite the size of the category, the Company's current market
share remains relatively small, creating meaningful scope for calibrated expansion over time.
The rise of round-the-year revenues
One of the most important structural developments underway within Symphony is the increasing contribution of Beyond Indian Summer Products (BISP).
Historically, the Company's revenue profile was closely linked to the Indian summer cycle. However, the gradual scaling of adjacent categories is steadily reshaping this dependence.
What was once a low-single-digit contribution within India operations has now evolved into a materially stronger revenue stream. At the consolidated level as well, the business mix is becoming progressively more balanced between seasonal and non-seasonal categories.
This transition reflects a deeper philosophical shift within the organisation - from season-led concentration towards portfolio-led resilience.
Importantly, this transformation is occurring without compromising financial discipline. Even after absorbing upfront marketing investments and launch-related costs, the BISP portfolio has already achieved EBITDA positivity.
In certain segments, particularly large-space ventilation, profitability profiles are comparable to - and in some cases superior to - traditional residential cooling categories.
The strategic implication is increasingly clear. Symphony is gradually evolving into a dual-engine enterprise: one engine driven by India's summer demand cycle and the other supported by year- round household consumption categories.
Distribution, digital reach, and market access
Distribution continues to remain one of Symphony's most enduring competitive advantages. However, the nature of this advantage is evolving.
The emphasis today is not merely geographic expansion, but execution intensity, fulfilment efficiency and channel economics.
The Company's direct-to-consumer channel has now reached scale parity with its two largest e-commerce platforms combined. More importantly, the D2C platform has evolved from a supplementary sales mechanism into a fully integrated demand-generation and fulfilment ecosystem.
Same-day delivery capabilities in markets such as Bengaluru and Hyderabad illustrate the Company's ability to compress fulfilment cycles and improve consumer responsiveness.
Simultaneously, regulatory developments such as BIS compliance requirements are gradually reshaping industry structure. The displacement of unorganised imports is creating structural advantages for organised Indian manufacturers with compliant production systems and stronger operational credibility.
These changes are expected to improve the competitive positioning of established brands like Symphony in the medium term.
B. International operations: Simplifying the global portfolio
The international portfolio underwent decisive simplification during the year.
The Australia business, once envisioned as a developed-market growth platform, was comprehensively restructured. Manufacturing operations were exited, financial exposures impaired, and operational linkages ring-fenced.
The remaining business model is asset-light, distribution-led and structurally self-contained, with no further capital commitment expected from the parent Company.
This restructuring reflects an important principle within Symphony's operating philosophy: internationalisation must strengthen the enterprise, not complicate it.
Realigning international assets
Alongside the Australia reset, Symphony undertook important ownership realignments across global operations.
The United States business was integrated directly under Symphony India while intellectual property ownership structures were streamlined to improve operational clarity and strategic control.
These actions ensure that future value creation from international markets accrues more directly and transparently to the parent entity.
Navigating a demand-led slowdown
IMPCO closed 2025 with net sales of $413 million, broadly in line with the previous year but below the original growth plan. Unseasonably mild summer and winter conditions affected demand across key seasonal categories, moderating sales momentum after a strong start to the year. While dealer sentiment and channel stocking remained positive in the first quarter, demand softened in subsequent periods, and newer growth categories such as washing machines scaled up more gradually than anticipated. Profitability was impacted by higher product costs and a fixed-cost structure established to support planned growth, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 7.4%. The softer trading environment also led to higher inventory levels at year-end, creating a more challenging operating backdrop entering 2026.
Momentum in the United States
The United States business continued to demonstrate encouraging traction during the year. Retail partnerships with leading chains such as The Home Depot and Lowe's strengthened market visibility and accelerated replenishment cycles.
Product innovation remains an important differentiator within the US market, with recently introduced product ranges receiving positive retailer acceptance.
Stable platforms across other markets
In Brazil, despite weather-linked volatility, Symphony consolidated its position among
the leading air cooler brands in the market. The Brazilian business continues to validate the viability of an asset-light and trading-led international operating model.
Mexico and China remained stable operating platforms focused on operational discipline, channel strengthening, and incremental optimisation rather than aggressive structural expansion.
Outlook: From seasonal company to structural platform
Taken together, FY 2025-26 represents a year of structural consolidation rather than linear operating momentum.
The Australian overhang has now been addressed with finality. The domestic business demonstrated resilience despite an unusually weak cooling season. The BISP portfolio is steadily reducing dependence on summer- linked concentration. International operations are becoming simpler, lighter, and more focused.
The next phase of Symphony's evolution is unlikely to be defined by dramatic strategic shifts. Instead, it will be shaped by disciplined compounding across multiple growth engines: sustained leadership in India, expansion of year-round categories, selective international scaling and continued capital discipline.
The Company's underlying construct remains unchanged.
Symphony continues to build towards becoming a globally relevant cooling and comfort platform - resilient across seasons, diversified across geographies and anchored firmly in operational simplicity, consumer trust and capital efficiency.
