2. Operational Performance:

(i) Consolidated Financial Performance:

Revenue from operations for FY 2024-25 stood at ?17,809 lakhs, registering an increase of 8.06% over
the previous year's ?16,480 lakhs. EBITDA increased to ?837 lakhs from ?(60) lakhs in FY 2023-24. The
Profit After Tax (PAT) improved significantly to ?314 lakhs as against a loss of ?623 lakhs in the previous
year.

(ii) Standalone Financial Performance:

Revenue from operations for FY 2024-25 increased by 10.14% to ?15,365 lakhs, compared to ?13,951
lakhs in the previous year. EBITDA rose to ?570 lakhs from ?10 lakhs and PAT improved to ?92 lakhs from
a loss of ?526 lakhs in FY 2023-24.

(iii) Outlook:

FY 2024-25 was marked by global economic uncertainty and instability. Volatile oil prices disrupted
supply chains, while the economic slowdown in China and the Far East, coupled with weak business
sentiment in the European Union, impacted both margins and customer demand. Geopolitical tensions
further exacerbated the situation across various commodity and user industries.

Despite these challenges, domestic demand remained robust. Though margins were under pressure,
healthy volumes enabled continued operations at high capacity utilization. The Company focused on
operational efficiency and cost control measures.

The Company took possession of a 5,000 sq. mtr. industrial plot at Additional MIDC, Pale, Ambernath,
District Thane, originally purchased from MIDC in 2015. The Company intends to construct a manufacturing
facility for sizing chemicals on this plot, entailing a substantial capital investment.

To further streamline operations and enhance efficiency, the Company also plans to consolidate the
warehouse at Village Dahisar Mori into the main unit at Chikhloli MIDC, Ambernath. This integration is
expected to improve manufacturing efficiency, supervision and quality control.

The Company continues to emphasize its export strategy, actively engaging with international markets to
explore profitable growth opportunities and demonstrate global competitiveness.

The amalgamation of Refnol Resins and Chemicals Limited has significantly contributed to product
diversification, economies of scale, operational rationalization, improved management efficiency and
increased shareholder value. The Company is confident that this integration will continue to support long¬
term growth.
