TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF BAYER CROPSCIENCE LIMITED

Opinion and Conclusion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Financial Results for the year ended 31 March 2026:

i. are presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended; and

Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP

Basis for Opinion on the Audited Financial Results for the year ended 31 March 2026

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SA"s) specified under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act"). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in paragraph (a) of Auditor's Responsibilities section below. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the "ICAI") together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Results for the year ended 31 March 2026 under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Statement

This Statement which includes the Financial Results is the responsibility of the Company's Board of Directors and has been approved by them for the issuance. The Financial Results for the year ended 31 March 2026 has been compiled from the related audited financial statements. This responsibility includes the preparation and presentation of the Financial Results for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2026 that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive loss and other financial information in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the LODR Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Financial Results that give a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Financial Results, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability, to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

Auditor's Responsibilities

(a) Audit of the Financial Results for the year ended 31 March 2026

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Results for the year ended 31 March 2026 as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably


Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP

be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Financial Results.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Annual Financial Results, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the Board of Directors in terms of the requirements specified under Regulation 33 of the LODR Regulations.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Statement or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Annual Financial Results, including the disclosures, and whether the Annual Financial Results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Annual Financial Results that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Annual Financial Results may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Annual Financial Results.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.


Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP

(b) Review of the Financial Results for the quarter ended 31 March 2026

We conducted our review of the Financial Results for the quarter ended 31 March 2026 in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements ("SRE") 2410 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity', issued by the ICAI. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of the Company's personnel responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with SAs specified under section 143(10) of the Act and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Other Matters

  • The Statement includes the results for the Quarter ended 31 March 2026 being the balancing figure between audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published year to date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year which were subject to limited review by us. Our report on the Statement is not modified in respect of this matter.

NOTES:

  1. The Company has only one reportable business segment, i.e. "Agri Care". The Company's business is seasonal in nature and hence quarterly figures are not necessarily representative of the full year's performance.
  2. The Company does not have any subsidiary, joint venture, or associate company and consequently, the Company is not required to prepare consolidated financial results under Regulation 33 of SEBI (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2025.
  3. Pursuant to the notification issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, multiple labour legislations have been consolidated into a unified framework comprising four Labour Codes becoming effective from November 21, 2025, collectively referred to as the 'New Labour Codes'. Based on the information available as at March 31, 2026, the incremental impact of the New Labour Codes on the Company's employee benefit obligations is not material and has been appropriately accounted in the financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026 and quarter ended December 31, 2025. The Company continues to monitor the developments pertaining to the New Labour Codes and will incorporate appropriate accounting treatment based on such developments.
  4. The figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 are balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively and published year to date figures up to nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively which were subjected to limited review.
