With that, now I hand over the call to Mr. Neerajkumar Agrawal. Over to you, sir.

Neerajkumar Agrawal:

Thank you. Good afternoon everyone and thank you for joining us today. It is my pleasure to welcome you to Narmada Agrobase Limited Earnings Discussion for Q2 & H1 FY'26.

Since our incorporation in 2013, we have grown from a focused cattle feed manufacturer into a multi-product, multi-market agrobase company with strong presence across cattle feed, cotton seed by-product and high-nutrition livestock formulation. Our flagship brand, Gaay Chhaap, Narmada Super, Kala Sona, Churma continue to enjoy strong trust and recall among farmers and distribution. Supported by our ISO 9001-2015 Certified Manufacturing Facility in Mehsana, Gujarat.

Over the year, we have expanded our operational scale throughout a strategically located 40,000 ton per annum plant, modern semi-automatic production line and rigorous raw material procurement model that enable us to manage price volatility effectively. Our integrated production setup, buffer stock policy and plant procurement system ensure consistently nutritional quality and uninterrupted performance even during seasonal fluctuations.

From a business mix perspective, our two core segments, cattle feed and cotton seed continue to contribute meaningfully to overall revenue. Cattle feed accounted for 52% of financial quantified revenue while cotton seed contributed 48%, reflecting a well-balanced portfolio that protects us from single category concentration risk. This diversified structure helps us maintain consistency in margins despite raw material fluctuation.

Operationally, we remain focused on strengthening our domestic network across high demand cattle feed market such as Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, supported by a larger and more

active dealer base. Simultaneously, we will continue to scale our export footprint across Southeast Asia, Middle East and Africa. The combination of domestic expansion in export diversity and position edge will us well to participate in rising global demand for non-GMO, high-protein and cost-effective livestock feed. We are also broadening our value-added product mix through pelletized cattle feed, molasses enriched feed blocks and cotton seed oil offering, which carries superior high margin potential and stronger differentiation. These solutions are aligned with shifting farmer's perception towards scientifically formulated high-efficiency feed variants.

The first half year of FY'26 has been periodically stable and encouraging financial performance for us. In Q2 FY'26, we delivered a total income of Rs. 1,228.16 lakhs with EBITDA of Rs. 162.38 lakhs, translating to an EBITDA margin of 13.22%. Profit after tax for the quarter stood at Rs. 102.66 lakhs, reflecting a healthy 8.36% net margin.

For the half year financial '26, total income was Rs. 2,369.51 lakhs. EBITDA stood at Rs. 327.48 lakhs with a margin of 13.82% and PAT increased to Rs. 204.56 lakhs with a net margin of 8.63%. This helped to reaffirm the strength of our operational model and sustain transaction of both our cattle feed and cotton seed based products.

As we move into the second half of the year, our strategy remains clearly defined, depending on our presence in key or domestic markets, escalating export to high-demand regions and optimising our procurement-led cost efficiency, and expanding value-added offering that enhance margin and customer loyalty.

With strong brand backbones and a diversified product portfolio and a disciplined operating framework, we are confident of building on the momentum achieved in FY'26 and strengthening our position in the livestock nutrition and agro-based product sector.

Thank you once again for joining us today and your continued trust in our Company. I now look forward to taking your questions. Thank you.
