> Net profit after tax stood at ?6,055 lakhs as against ?6,659 lakhs in FY 2023-24, a reduction of 9.07%

In the financial year 2024-25, revenue grew by 11.83%, totaling ?781.32 crores. The sales volume is up by 7.3% reaching 38,264 tonnes compared to 35,661 tonnes in the prior year. EBITDA up by 6.98% to ?143.86 crores, while Profit Before Tax (PBT) declined by 8.3% to ?81.27 crores. Net Profit also decreased by 9.07%, settling at ?60.55 crores. These reductions reflect the higher charge of depreciation and interest cost due to major investments made in last three years, commercial production of which just started.

Paints-Packs: During the year 2024-25, the company has considerably increased its production capacity at Panipat (Haryana), Satara (Maharashtra) and Cheyyar (Tamil Nadu) to effectively meet the increased demand from the Aditya Birla Group. These strategically located facilities are equipped with modern infrastructure to support high-volume production and timely delivery.

This capacity expansion reflects the company's commitment to serving key clients and maintaining operational excellence as order volumes rise.

APIL also started decorating their top brands in IML. Moldtek has set up Robots and manufacturing facilities at all APIL locations to cater to their growing demand.

Square Packs: New square packs of 2 and 3 liters were introduced to cater to ready to eat, edible oil and other FMCG goods. Square packs Manufacturing is being set up at Panipat and Daman to cater to the growing demand for our square packs in northern India. Production at Panipat started in March, 2025.

Food & FMCG Packs: As our IML printing capacities enhanced, Q4 registered solid sales growth of 21.47% in this segment showing the Company's leadership position in Food & FMCG sectors where growth was stagnated last year due to lack of IML printing capacity. We expect good growth in FY 2025-26, as well, as production of FMCG products as starting in Panipat from September, 2025.

Pharma Packaging: The pharma-packaging sector has shown excellent momentum in financial year 2024-25, achieved sales around ?11 crores for the year. In the Q4 of

1st year itself, company achieved close to 50% capacity utilization to cross Breakeven level. Further, capacity expansion across product mix is being planned. This rapid growth underscores the division's ability to contribute handsomely in near future.

The surge in demand is driven by increased orders from leading pharma companies in India and few enquiries from other international markets, reaffirming the division's compliance with global quality and regulatory standards. This international traction is a testament to the company's ability to meet stringent packaging requirements and deliver consistent value.

With a renewed focus on scalable infrastructure, quick product development automation, and sustainability in packaging solutions, the company is well-positioned to capture further growth in the global pharma ecosystem.

• Added numerous higher weight bottles using our inhouse tool room to add to our product basket. Quick development of these packs gave great confidence.

• Squeeze and lock cap is a revolutionary new idea designed to give child resistant functionality with a single piece construction. Our new design gives stability even at higher vacuum pressurized conditions.

• Capacity for highest selling SKU is planned to be doubled by Q2. This SKU has reached almost full utilization and is estimated to go further up.

• Improved version of spiral cap launched to be stable at high temperature and Rh levels, based on need from India's largest EV tablet manufacturer.

• Orders started for most high-selling size through a direct export order but domestic establishment is taking more time for stability tests than anticipated. As this product goes inside tablet container, the testing is more stringent

• New filling machine added to increase filling capacity. Dust-free version and online weight control added

Printing Capacity enhancement: Company added 3 new machines (2 flexographic and one Roto Gravure) in February, 2025 and balancing equipment to increase printing capacity by more 50% to cater to expected rise in Q1 demand for IML products across verticals. Another printing machine is being added by end of May, 2025.

The future looks bright because pharma division which has started just barely a year ago, has crossed break-even in Q4 of FY2024-25, with a shot up of turnover from meager ?2.5 crores in Q3 to ?6.7 crores in Q4, resulting in Company making profits for the first time in the pharma division. This augur well for the coming years as the traction that is created in Q4 will continue to spread in the full financial year of FY2025-26 and apart from additional new products that are being added in the pharma packaging sector.

Another positive development is growth of paint industry, which was a 6.7% drop last year, has become 6.8% growth in this current financial year, auguring well for the Company's future.

The huge investments over ?400 crores that have been made by Company in the last three years have started bearing fruit. And we look forward to a much better future in the coming quarters, not only in pharma, but also in ABG and thin wall segments, as well.
