8 The Company publishes standalone financial results along with the consolidated financial results. Accordingly, as per Ind AS 108 'Operating Segments', no disclosures related to the segments are presented in these results.
9 Pursuant to Employees Stock Options Scheme 2025, the Company has granted 933,290 stock options during the quarter ended 31 March 2026.
10 During the quarter ended 31 March 2026, the Company has allotted 28,938 equity shares of face value Rs. 2 each to option grantees upon exercise of stock options under the Company's Employee Stock Option Scheme 2020.
11 The Board of Directors of the Company, at its meeting held on 29 March 2026 approved the Scheme of amalgamation (by way of merger by absorption) of Indovida India Private Limited ("Indovida India") with the Company and their respective shareholders on a going concern basis, under Sections 230 to 232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the rules framed thereunder, in consideration for the issuance and allotment of the equity shares of the Company to the shareholders of Indovida India in accordance with the share exchange ratio stipulated in the Scheme ("Merger"). The Merger is subject to necessary statutory and regulatory approvals under the applicable laws.
12 Exceptional items represent following
(i) The Government of India has consolidated multiple existing labour legislations into a unified framework comprising four Labour Codes ('New Labour Codes'), effective 21 November 2025. The Company has assessed the estimated financial implication arising from implementation of New Labour Codes which has resulted in an increase in gratuity and compensated absences liability arising out of past service cost by Rs. 6 million during the quarter ended 31 March 2026, Rs. 53 million during the quarter ended 31 December 2025 and Rs. 59 million for the year ended 31 March 2026, primarily due to change in the definition of "wages". Considering the materiality, regulatory driven and non-recurring nature of this impact, the Company has presented it as exceptional item in these financial results. The Company continues to monitor the finalisation of Central and State Rules and clarifications from the Government on other aspects of the New Labour Codes and would provide appropriate accounting effect on the basis of such developments, as needed.
(ii) Owing to the proposed merger as referred in note 11 above, the Company has incurred a cost of Rs. 156 million towards various services for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2026.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement
-
This Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements and has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net profit/loss and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, and in compliance with Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 read with Regulation 63 of the Listing Regulations including SEBI Master Circular SEBI/HO/DDHS/DDHS-PoD/P/CIR/2025/0000000137 dated 15 October 2025. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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 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 Statement that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
-
In preparing the Statement, 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 Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement
-
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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 Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, 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 be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Statement.
-
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, 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. Under section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and the operating effectiveness of such controls;
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors;

OTHER NOTES:
5 EPL Limited (the 'Holding Company') and its subsidiaries are together referred to as 'the Group' in the following notes. The above consolidated financial results (the 'results') of the Group and its associate have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard ('Ind AS'), prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and is in compliance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 read with Regulation 63 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended). These results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their respective meetings held on 14 May 2026.
6 Figures for the quarters ended 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 are the balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of full financial year and the published year-to-date figures up to the third quarter of the relevant financial year, which were subjected to limited review by the statutory auditors.
7 The Board of Directors of the Holding Company, at its meeting held on 29 March 2026 approved the Scheme of amalgamation (by way of merger by absorption) of Indovida India Private Limited ("Indovida India") with the Holding Company and their respective shareholders on a going concern basis, under Sections 230 to 232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the rules framed thereunder, in consideration for the issuance and allotment of the equity shares of the Holding Company to the shareholders of Indovida India in accordance with the share exchange ratio stipulated in the Scheme ("Merger"). The Merger is subject to necessary statutory and regulatory approvals under the applicable laws.
8 Exceptional items represent following:
(i) The Government of India has consolidated multiple existing labour legislations into a unified framework comprising four Labour Codes ('New Labour Codes'), effective 21 November 2025. The Group has assessed the financial implication arising from implementation of New Labour Codes which has resulted in an increase in gratuity and compensated absences liability arising out of past service cost by Rs. 6 million during the quarter ended 31 March 2026 and Rs. 53 million during the quarter ended 31 December 2025 aggregating Rs. 59 million for the year ended 31 March 2026, primarily due to change in the definition of "wages". Considering the materiality, regulatory driven and non-recurring nature of this impact, the Group has presented it as an exceptional item in these financial results. The Group continues to monitor the finalisation of Central and State Rules and clarifications from the Government on other aspects of the New Labour Codes and would provide appropriate accounting effect on the basis of such developments, as needed.
(ii) Due to closure of a factory unit in one of its subsidiary, the Group has incurred a cost of Rs. 67 million during the quarter ended 31 December 2025 and year ended 31 March 2026.
(iii) Owing to the proposed merger as referred in note 7 above, the Holding Company has incurred a cost of Rs. 156 million towards various services for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2026.
(iv) Owing to restructuring of operations in Europe region, the Group had incurred a cost of Rs. 36 million during the quarter and year ended 31 March 2025.
9 Pursuant to Employees Stock Options Scheme 2025, the Holding Company has granted 933,290 stock options during the quarter ended 31 March 2026.
10 During the quarter ended 31 March 2026, the Holding Company has allotted 28,938 equity shares of face value Rs. 2 each to option grantees upon exercise of options under the Holding Company's Employee Stock Option Scheme 2020.
11 Amounts shown as '0' in the above results represent value less than Rupee one million.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement
-
The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements and has been approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit or loss and other comprehensive income, and other financial information of the Group and its associate in accordance with the Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 read with Regulation 63 of the Listing Regulations including SEBI Master Circular SEBI/HO/DDHS/DDHS-PoD/P/CIR/2025/0000000137 dated 15 October 2025. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is also responsible for ensuring accuracy of records including financial information considered necessary for the preparation of the Statement. Further, in terms of the provisions of the Act, the respective Board of Directors/ Management of the companies included in the Group and its associate, covered under the Act, are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act, for safeguarding of the assets of the Group and its associate, 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 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 are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. These financial results have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
-
In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors/ Management of the companies included in the Group and of its associate, are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of its associate, to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the respective Board of Directors/ Management either intends to liquidate the Group or its associate or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
-
Those respective Board of Directors/ Management of the companies included in the Group and of its associate are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the companies included in the Group and of its associate.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement
-
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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 Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act 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 be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Statement.
-
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, 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;
