Your Directors have pleasure in presenting the 32^nd Annual Report, together with the Standalone and Consolidated Audited Financial Statements of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2026.

> FINANCIAL SUMMARY AND HIGHLIGHTS

The Company's performance during the year as compared with the previous year is summarised below:

The Financial Year 2025-26 (FY26) stood out as a landmark period of operational resilience and high-velocity growth for RR Kabel, set against a complex and highly volatile global economic backdrop. International trade was significantly tested by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and surrounding regions, causing direct shipping challenges, including rerouted vessels, extended transit timelines, and sudden spikes in ocean freight and marine insurance costs. Concurrently, global commodity markets witnessed immense pricing volatility in key raw materials, especially copper, aluminium and PVC. Despite these global headwinds, which placed heavy pressure on industry supply chains and caused an expansion in Sales-in-Transit (SIT) inventories, RR Kabel demonstrated superior supply-chain adaptability, disciplined procurement, and proactive price-volatility management.

In contrast to the global uncertainty, the domestic Indian economy emerged as a beacon of steady structural growth, providing a highly supportive operating environment. Domestic demand remained

exceptionally robust throughout the year, driven by intensive multi-year capital expenditure programmes in public infrastructure, utility-scale power projects, and rapid industrial capacity additions. Furthermore, a sustained momentum in the residential and commercial real estate sectors, coupled with the rapid emergence of next-generation infrastructure such as high-density data centres, wind and solar energy projects, and advanced warehousing significantly amplified the reguirement for reliable, high-quality power and connectivity infrastructure.

Capitalising effectively on these secular domestic tailwinds, RR Kabel achieved record-breaking volumes and profitability. This performance was underpinned by the Company's extensive distribution network, deep brand equity, and a highly agile, diversified multi-channel strategy. By successfully balancing retail (B2C) brand premiumisation with aggressive institutional (B2B) penetration and robust international export operations, the Company crossed the monumental milestone in consolidated revenue. Delivering a consistent volume

outperformance that comfortably exceeded industry averages, the Company has firmly consolidated Its position as the third-largest player In the Indian Wires and Cables industry, setting a solid foundation for its long-term strategic ambitions.

During the financial year under review, on a standalone basis, the Company recorded its highest-ever revenue from operations of INR 9,72,236 Lakhs, representing growth of 27.62% as compared to INR 7,61,823 Lakhs in the previous financial year. The Company's Operating Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation (EBITDA) for the financial year ended 31 March 2026 stood at INR 78,381 Lakhs with an increase of 61.39% over the EBITDA of INR 48,565 Lakhs for the earlier financial year ended 31 March 2025. The Company reported a net profit of INR 48,690 Lakhs for the financial year ended 31 March 2026, higher by 57.31% compared to the net profit of INR 30,952 Lakhs in the previous financial year ended 31 March 2025.

A. Wires & Cables Segment (90% of Revenue Mix)

The Wires & Cables business remains the primary engine of growth for the Company, contributing a substantial 90% to the overall top line. During FY26, segment revenue grew by 31% to reach INR 8,76,374 Lakhs, compared to INR 6,68,876 Lakhs in FY25. This top-line expansion was backed by exceptional volume outperformance, with double-digit volumes growth for the year to consistently outpace industry benchmarks. In Q4 FY26 alone, the segment clocked an 8.7% volume growth, driven primarily by high-teens expansion in the cables category. This strong operational volume also led to excellent bottom-line traction as segment profit surged by 56.2% to INR 77,562 Lakhs (up from INR 49,648 Lakhs in FY25). This corresponds to a 143 bps margin expansion to 8.9%, unlocked through scale benefits, a premium product mix, and proactive passthrough of raw material price volatility. Furthermore, the segment demonstrated remarkable export resilience; despite geopolitical headwinds in the Middle East, exports represented 29% of total W&C sales and registered an impressive 38.1% YoY value growth in Q4. The Middle East remains a core geographical focus for international operations, contributing approximately 40% of total export revenues, which translates to roughly 12% of the Company's consolidated revenues.

B. Fast Moving Electrical Goods (FMEG) Segment (10% of Revenue Mix)

The Fast-Moving Electrical Goods (FMEG) segment, representing 10% of the revenue mix, registered a year of selective, steady progress as the Company prioritised

distribution integration and rigorous loss minimisation. FMEG operations generated INR 95,862 Lakhs in revenues during FY26, reflecting steady growth compared to the INR 92,959 Lakhs recorded in FY25. Crucially, targeted operational efficiency initiatives succeeded in substantially narrowing the segment losses by 28% to INR 3,303 Lakhs in FY26, down from INR 4,591 Lakhs in the previous financial year. Looking ahead, backed by robust seasonal demand traction in core categories like fans and lighting along with continuous distribution expansion, the Company is confidently on track to achieve FMEG break-even in FY27 with projected top-line value growth in the range of 20% to 25%.

The operations and financial results of the Company are further elaborated in the Management Discussion and Analysis Report forming part of the Annual Report.
