b) Report on the Performance of Subsidiaries and Associates

The details of the cluster-wise performance are set out below:

Indonesia

In the fiscal year 2025-26, our Indonesia business demonstrated

resilience in a challenging environment that was driven by macro pressures and heightened competitive intensity. Volumes grew at 3% , however topline and EBITDA declined slightly. Despite soft internal performance on Household Insecticides, we maintained market leadership in the category amidst increasing competitive pressure. Market shares grew across other key categories of Air Fresheners,

Hair Colour and Baby Wipes. Hair Colour in particular sustained strong performance on the back of the Shampoo Hair Colour format. General Trade channel outperformed other sales channels driven by distribution scale up. Through disciplined cost actions, we maintained EBITDA margin of 24.0% despite heightened competitive intensity in Household Insecticides. Looking ahead, the business is well positioned to accelerate growth through increased category development, strengthened General Trade distribution, and enhanced execution across core categories.

Africa, the Middle East, and the USA

FY 2026 marked a significant year of delivery across our Africa and USA businesses, with both regions meeting or exceeding their Annual Operating Plan targets on topline and bottomline. The Africa business delivered strong Underlying Volume Growth, well ahead of plan, while EBITDA margins closed at 14% despite higher above-the-line investments absorbed during

the year. This was driven by standout category performances — most notably the Air Care business, which scaled four-fold within a single year — alongside volume turnarounds in key Southern African markets and structural cost discipline through targeted savings initiatives.

GTM geo-expansion gains in West Africa further reinforced the performance. South Africa's Hair Fashion business and Ghana's external market volatility remained areas requiring continued attention. The USA business closed at 14.4% EBITDA margins, its highest in eight years, gaining market share in a declining category while significantly improving supply reliability and channel fill rates.

A proactive pricing response to tariff-driven inflation was well-executed across channels. Dollar Channel distribution headwinds and MENA pricing pressures tempered the topline. Looking ahead, both businesses are well-positioned to accelerate broad-based volume growth by backing proven category winners, scaling disciplined innovation, and continuing to push the envelope on profitability and working capital efficiency.

Latin America

Our LATAM business topline remained flattish while EBITDA margin was broadly held. Chile business delivered strong topline growth and strong profitability improvements, with over-delivery across all key categories. However, Argentina faced currency volatility during

the year and the business fell short of topline and bottomline targets. Looking ahead, we aim to drive margin improvements across the Cluster while focusing investments on globally proven product portfolios to drive topline.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh business became PAT and cashflow positive in the fiscal year 2025-26. Topline targets were delivered on the back of growth momentum on Goodknight portfolio as well as via investments in category development. Cashflow unlock driven by inventory optimization. Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in category development in our key categories and further localise our operations to strengthen our business further.

c) Policy on Material Subsidiaries

In compliance with the SEBI Listing Regulations, the Board has adopted a Policy for Determining Material Subsidiaries.

Committee of the Board to design and execute this process.

Each board member completed a confidential online questionnaire, sharing vital feedback on how the Board currently operates and how its effectiveness could be improved. This survey included four sections on the basis of which feedback and suggestions were compiled:

• Board Processes (including Board composition, strategic orientation and team dynamics);

• Individual Committees

• Individual Board Members

• Chairperson

• Declaration of independence from Independent Directors

The criteria for Board processes included Board structure, strategic orientation as well as Board functioning, and team dynamics.

Evaluation of each of the Board Committees covered whether they have well-defined objectives and the correct composition and whether they achieved their objectives. The criteria for Individual Board Members included skills, experience, level of preparedness, attendance, extent of contribution to Board debates and discussions, and how each Director leveraged their expertise and networks

to meaningfully contribute to the Company. The criteria for the Chairperson's evaluation included leadership style and conduct of Board Meetings. The performance evaluation criteria for Independent Directors included a check on their fulfilment of the independence criteria and their independence from the management.

The following reports were created as part of the evaluation:

• Board Feedback Report

• Individual Board Member Feedback Report

• Chairperson's Feedback Report

The overall Board feedback was facilitated by Ms. Shalini Puchalapalli with the Independent Directors. The Directors put forth their views regarding the Board functioning effectively and identified areas that showed scope for improvement. Feedback from the Committees and Individual Board Members was shared with the Chairperson. Following her evaluation, a Chairperson's Feedback Report was compiled.

The performance evaluation was carried out in compliance with the requirements of Section 178 of the Companies Act,

2013, Regulation 17, 19 & 25 of the SEBI Listing Regulations and in accordance with the SEBI guidance note on Board Evaluation.
