To
The Board of Directors of
Hikal Limited
Report on the audit of the Standalone Financial Results
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying statement of quarterly and year-to-date standalone financial results of Hikal Limited (the "Company") for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and for the year then ended ("Statement"), attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the "Listing Regulations").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Statement:
i. is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and
ii. gives a true and fair view in conformity with the applicable accounting standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net profit and other comprehensive loss and other financial information of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and the net loss and other comprehensive loss and other financial information of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results" section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements 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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to note 5 to the accompanying Statement, as regards the uncertainty regarding outcome of ongoing investigations / actions by statutory authorities in relation to alleged noncompliance with certain environmental laws and regulations. The matter is currently pending with the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and no further adjustments including consequential effects thereof are considered necessary in the financial results. Our opinion is not modified in respect of the aforesaid matter.

Management's Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results
The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements. The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net profit / loss as above and other comprehensive loss of the Company and other financial information in accordance with the applicable 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 Listing Regulations. 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 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 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 Standalone Financial Results
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 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 be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Statement.
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 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 adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place 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.

-
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 Company's ability 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 financial results 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 Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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.
Other Matter
The Statement includes the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 being the balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31, 2026 and the published unaudited year-to-date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year, which were subjected to a limited review by us, as required under the Listing Regulations.

Notes :
-
The Board of Directors has recommended Final Dividend @ 20% of the paid up capital (i.e. Rs 0.40 per equity share) for the Financial Year 2025-26 which is subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting (AGM). Total dividend for the year is 30% of the paid up capital (i.e. Rs 0.60 per equity share) [Previous year: 70% of the paid up capital (i.e. Rs 1.40 per equity share)] comprising Interim dividend of @ 10% of the paid up capital (Re.0.20 per share) paid to the shareholders on 4 March 2026 and aforesaid recommended final dividend.
-
The above results were reviewed by the Audit Committee at their meeting held on 26 May 2026 and approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on 27 May 2026.
-
The financial results for the year ended on 31 March 2026 have been audited by the statutory auditors of the Company. The statutory auditors have expressed an unmodified opinion.
-
The figures for the quarter ended 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 as reported in these financial results are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year upto 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 and the unaudited published year-to-date figures up to 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, being the date of the end of the third quarter of the respective financial years which were subjected to limited review.
-
There are no material developments during the quarter / year in the matter relating to the alleged improper disposal of by-products and alleged non-compliance with certain environmental laws and regulations by the Company in January 2022, for which statutory authorities have conducted investigations. The matter is currently pending before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India ('SC') which stayed the order passed by the National Green Tribunal, Principal Bench, New Delhi which had accepted the joint committee's reports, including recovery of compensation of Rs. 174.5 million from the Company for aforesaid non-compliance. The SC has also stayed Gujarat Pollution Control Board's direction to the Company for payment thereof, upon the Company having deposited Rs. 50 million (of which provision of Rs. 10 million is created in an earlier year) with the SC.
Based on the advice of external legal counsel, the Company believes it has a good case on merits in these matters, and the Company is taking necessary steps, including legal measures, to defend itself. Accordingly, no further provision is required in the financial results in this respect.
-
Consequent to irregularities which were noted in the timing of revenue recognition as of September 30, 2025 and which were corrected within that quarter, the Company appointed an external expert for a fact-finding review which revealed that irregularities were limited to preponement of underlying genuine sales through alteration of documents by certain employees. The Company has implemented corrective actions and management concludes that there is no further impact of this matter on the current / previous periods.
-
The Company decided to repurpose one of its existing manufacturing plants to enable the manufacturing of a different range of products. In this process, certain assets / equipment was identified that is no longer usable in repurposed plant and accordingly an impairment charge of Rs. 471 millions is recorded during the quarter, and which is included in 'Exceptional Items' in the financial results.
-
On 21 November, 2025, the Government of India notified the four Labour Codes - the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 - consolidating 29 existing labour laws. The Ministry of Labour & Employment published FAQs to enable assessment of the financial impact due to changes in regulations. The Company has assessed and disclosed incremental impact of these changes on the basis of the best information available.
Considering the materiality and non-recurring nature of this impact, the Company has presented such incremental impact as Exceptional Items for the quarter ended 31 December 2025 and year ended 31 March, 2026. The incremental impact comprises gratuity of Rs 115 millions and long-term compensated absences of Rs 87 millions due to change in definition of wages as per the Codes, and Rs. 178 million arising from change in the Company's policy to remove the ceiling hitherto applicable on payment of gratuity to employees.
The Company continues to monitor the notification of Rules and will take into consideration their accounting effect, once notified / clarified.
-
Consequent to an order of the CIT(Appeals) received in April 2026, Current tax for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2026 includes reversal of provision of Rs. 107 million which was created in an earlier year.
-
Consequent to the USFDA issuing a warning letter in August 2025 relating to the Company's Jigani facility, sales for the Pharma Segment were impacted for the year.

Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to note 5 to the accompanying Statement, as regards the uncertainty regarding outcome of ongoing investigations / actions by statutory authorities in relation to alleged non-compliance with certain environmental laws and regulations. The matter is currently pending with the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and no further adjustments including consequential effects thereof are considered necessary in the financial results. Our opinion is not modified in respect of the aforesaid matter.
Management's Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results
The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements. 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 net profit / loss as above and other comprehensive loss and other financial information of the Group in accordance with the applicable 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 Listing Regulations. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of their respective companies 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 Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which 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 of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of their respective companies to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of their respective companies.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results
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 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 be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Statement.
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 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
Page 2 of 4
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 adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place 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.
- 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 Group 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial results and other financial information of the Holding Company, of which we are the independent auditors, to express an opinion on the Statement. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial information of the Holding Company included in the Statement, of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entity included in the Statement, which has been audited by another auditor, such other auditor remains responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit carried out by him. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company 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.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the Master Circular issued by the Securities Exchange Board of India under Regulation 33 (8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.

Total dividend for the year is 30% of the paid up capital (i.e. Rs 0.60 per equity share) [Previous year: 70% of the paid up capital (i.e. Rs 1.40 per equity share)] comprising Interim dividend of @ 10% of the paid up capital (Re.0.20 per share) paid to the shareholders on 4 March 2026 and aforesaid recommended final dividend.
-
The above results were reviewed by the Audit Committee at their meeting held on 26 May 2026 and approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on 27 May 2026.
-
The financial results for the year ended on 31 March 2026 have been audited by the statutory auditors of the Holding Company. The statutory auditors have expressed an unmodified opinion.
-
The figures for the quarter ended 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 as reported in these financial results are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year upto 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 and the unaudited published year-to-date figures up to 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, being the date of the end of the third quarter of the respective financial years which were subjected to limited review.
-
There are no material developments during the quarter / year in the matter relating to the alleged improper disposal of by-products and alleged non-compliance with certain environmental laws and regulations by the Company in January 2022, for which statutory authorities have conducted investigations. The matter is currently pending before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India ('SC') which stayed the order passed by the National Green Tribunal, Principal Bench, New Delhi which had accepted the joint committee's reports, including recovery of compensation of Rs. 174.5 million from the Holding Company for aforesaid non-compliance. The SC has also stayed Gujarat Pollution Control Board's direction to the Holding Company for payment thereof, upon the Holding Company having deposited Rs. 50 million (of which provision of Rs. 10 million is created in an earlier year) with the SC.
Based on the advice of external legal counsel, the Holding Company believes it has a good case on merits in these matters, and the Holding Company is taking necessary steps, including legal measures, to defend itself. Accordingly, no further provision is required in the financial results in this respect.
-
Consequent to irregularities which were noted in the timing of revenue recognition as of September 30, 2025 and which were corrected within that quarter, the Holding Company appointed an external expert for a fact-finding review which revealed that irregularities were limited to preponement of underlying genuine sales through alteration of documents by certain employees. The Holding Company has implemented corrective actions and management concludes that there is no further impact of this matter on the current / previous periods.
-
The Holding Company decided to repurpose one of its existing manufacturing plant to enable the manufacturing of a different range of products. In this process, certain assets / equipment was identified that is no longer usable in repurposed plant and accordingly an impairment charge of Rs. 471 millions is recorded during the quarter, and which is included in 'Exceptional Items' in the financial results.
-
On 21 November, 2025, the Government of India notified the four Labour Codes - the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 - consolidating 29 existing labour laws. The Ministry of Labour & Employment published FAQs to enable assessment of the financial impact due to changes in regulations. The Group has assessed and disclosed incremental impact of these changes on the basis of the best information available.
Considering the materiality and non-recurring nature of this impact, the Group has presented such incremental impact as Exceptional Items for the quarter ended 31 December 2025 and year ended 31 March, 2026. The incremental impact comprises gratuity of Rs 115 millions and long-term compensated absences of Rs 87 millions due to change in definition of wages as per the Codes, and Rs. 178 million arising from change in the Group's policy to remove the ceiling hitherto applicable on payment of gratuity to employees.
The Group continues to monitor the notification of Rules and will take into consideration their accounting effect, once notified / clarified.
-
Consequent to an order of the CIT(Appeals) received in April 2026, Current tax for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2026 includes reversal of provision of Rs. 107 million which was created in an earlier year.
-
Consequent to the USFDA issuing a warning letter in August 2025 relating to the Holding Company's Jigani facility, sales for the Pharma Segment were impacted for the year.
