III. NEED FOR MERGER AND DEMERGER/ RATIONALE AND BENEFITS OF THE SCHEME/ SYNERGIES OF THE BUSINESS OF THE ENTITIES INVOLVED IN THE SCHEME/ COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF THE SCHEME
The business presently undertaken by RL (directly and indirectly) comprise the lifestyle business and the non-lifestyle business both of which have different requirements and are operated independent of each other as separate business verticals. The requirements of each business, including in terms of capital, operations, knowledge, nature of risk, competitive advantages and strategies, and regulatory compliances are very distinct when compared with the other. Each of these business verticals are significantly large and mature and have a distinct attractiveness to divergent set of investors, strategic partners and other stakeholders.
To unlock the potential value of each business vertical, it is proposed through this Scheme, to: (i) completely segregate the lifestyle business and the non-lifestyle business and create two strong and distinctive platforms and flagship listed entities; (ii) amalgamate RG with RCCL to rationalize, simplify and streamline the group structure.
The proposed restructuring results in the following benefits:
-
(i) The lifestyle business and the non-lifestyle business have both achieved scale and experience to sustain business on the basis of their own strengths. Additionally, both businesses deal with different sets of industry dynamics in the form or nature of risks, competition, challenges, opportunities and business methods. Hence, segregation of the two businesses would enable focused managements to explore the potential business opportunities more effectively and efficiently;
-
(ii) Demerger will enable both RL & RCCL to enhance business operations resulting in operational synergies and achieving zero net debt for lifestyle business and non-lifestyle business by streamlining operations, more efficient management control and outlining independent growth strategies.
-
(iii) Each business will be able to target and attract new investors with specific knowledge, expertise and risk appetite corresponding to their own businesses. Thus, each business will have its own set of likeminded investors, thereby providing the necessary funding impetus to the long-term growth strategies of each business;
-
(iv) Demerger will enhance efficiencies and will have different business interest into separate corporate entity, resulting in operational synergies, simplification,
17
==> picture [100 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
focused management, streamlining and optimization of the group structure and efficient administration.
-
(v) The demerger will unlock value of both businesses and result in shareholder value maximisation.
-
(vi) The Amalgamation will further streamline the corporate structure of RCCL by aligning the interest of various shareholders directly.
-
(vii) Pursuant to the Scheme, the equity shares issued by RCCL would be listed on BSE and NSE. The existing shareholders of RL would hold the shares of two (2) listed entities after the Scheme becoming effective; giving them flexibility in managing their investments in the two businesses having differential dynamics.

XX. IMPACT OF ARRANGEMENT ON REVENUE GENERATING CAPACITY OF THE COMPANY
The business presently undertaken by the Company (directly and indirectly) comprises of the lifestyle business and the non-lifestyle business both of which have different requirements and are operated independent of each other as separate business verticals.
The segregation of the lifestyle business undertaking would not impact the revenue generating capacity of the remaining business of the Company related to the non-lifestyle business. Further, the demerger would unlock value of each business vertical of the Company thereby enhancing its business operations with more efficient management control and independent strategies thus positively impacting its revenue generating capacity of the non-lifestyle business.

Independent Auditor's Review Report on Consolidated Unaudited Quarterly Financial Results and Year to Date Results of the Company pursuant to the Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 read with Regulation 63 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations·, 2015 (as amended)

-
We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited consolidated financial results ('the Statement') of Raymond Limited ('the Holding Company') and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as 'the Group'), its associates and joint ventures (refer Annexure 1 for the list of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures included in the Statement) for the quarter ended 30 September 2023 and the consolidated year to date results for the period 01 April 2023 to 30 September 2023, being submitted by the Holding Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 read with Regulation 63 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) ('Listing Regulations').
-
This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Holding Company's management and approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting ('Ind AS 34'), prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act'), 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 Listing Regulations. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
-
We conducted our review of the Statement 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 Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons 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 the Standards on Auditing 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.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the SEBI Circular CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated 29 March 2019 issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the Listing Regulation, to the extent applicable.

|---|---|---|---|
| CCM Method | DCF Method | – Summation Method | |
| Lifestyle Business | ✓ | ✓ | X |
| RCCL | X | X | ✓ |
| RGCTL | X | X | ✓ |
Notes:
1. For the present valuation analysis, we have considered it appropriate to apply the Income Approach and Market Approach for Lifestyle Business Undertaking and Asset approach for RCCL and RGCTL to arrive at the value of the equity shares for the purpose of the Proposed Transaction.
2. Given the nature of the businesses of the Companies and the fact that Lifestyle Business Undertaking projected financials has been provided, we have considered it appropriate to apply the DCF Method under the Income Approach to arrive at the value of the shares of the Companies for the purpose of arriving at the Equity Share Exchange Ratio.
3. We have applied Comparable Companies Multiples method under Market Approach, wherein we have considered the appropriate trading multiples of the comparable companies listed on recognized stock exchange for the valuation of Lifestyle Business Undertaking for the purpose of arriving at the Equity Share Exchange Ratio.
4. The value of RCCL is considered based on the transaction value provided by the management. The management has further informed that, transaction is agreed for all-cash consideration deal for sale/ transfer of Consumer Business to independent buyer. Therefore, for the valuation of RCCL we have considered the Summation Method under Asset Approach.
5. RGCTL is an investment holding company and it does not have any business operations other than Investment in RCCL and RGCPL. Therefore, for valuation of RGCTL Summation Method under Asset Approach is considered.

Annexure 3: Valuation of Lifestyle Business Undertaking as per Comparable
Companies Multiple (“CCM”) Method
Under Market Approach, we have considered CCM Method. Under the CCM method, the value is determined on the basis of multiples derived from valuations of comparable companies listed on the stock exchanges. This is based on the principle that market valuations, taking place between informed buyers and informed sellers, incorporate all factors relevant to valuation. We have identified listed comparable companies based on business of each company and thereafter screened selected multiple based on business composition, business description, etc. We have considered EV / EBITDA multiple of the comparable listed companies. The total equity value so derived is then divided by total number of equity shares arriving at the value per equity share under CCM Method.

Kindly clarify how the Company is complying with Exchange’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) dated December 20, 2022 on Scheme of Arrangement, which states that the audited financials shall be considered for valuations”
Clarification to queries raised by NSE
For the purpose of the valuation analysis and based on information available from the Management, we had considered the financial statements as below:
-
Historical carved out financial statements for Raymond Lifestyle Business for the Period FY 2019 to FY 2022.

Point No. 4. As per the clarification submitted, it is stated that provisional financials were considered for deriving valuation of the companies involved in Scheme. Kindly clarify how is the Company complying with Exchange’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) dated December 20, 2022 on Scheme of Arrangement, which states that the audited financials shall be considered for valuations. Clarification in this regard is required for the Valuer.
-
In the composite scheme of arrangement between Raymond Limited, RGCTL, RCCL and their respective shareholders, the two unlisted companies involved are RGCTL and RCCL.
-
RCCL does not have any business operations other than Consumer Business. On the date of issue of the Report dated April 27, 2023, the Board of RCCL has approved the transaction for sale of consumer care business with a listed third party for cash consideration of INR 2,825.0 Cr inclusive of working capital and exclusive of plant. In the same board meeting the Composite Scheme of Arrangement was also approved.
-
Therefore, the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023 (prior to the transaction) do not represent the true financial position of RCCL as on the date of Report. Hence, provisional financials of RCCL are considered post giving effect for net of tax consideration for transfer of consumer care business.
-
RGCTL is an investment holding company of RCCL and Ray Global Consumer Product Limited (“RGCPL“). RGCPL is a non-operating Company. RGCTL has no major assets other than investment in RCCL and RGCPL. Since RGCTL derives its entire value from investment in RCCL, use of either provisional or audited financials of RGCTL do not have any impact on the recommended swap ratio.
-
In case of Lifestyle Business Undertaking, the carved-out management approved provisional financials are considered for valuation analysis as it is not a separate legal entity. Further, being a listed company the audited financial results of Raymond Limited for the financial year ended March 31, 2023 were approved by the board of directors and disclosed to the stock exchanges only on May 9, 2023 which is subsequent to our report.

Pont No. 5. “Kindly clarify with respect to the following points pertaining to the calculation submitted by the valuer,”
-

| Free Cash Flow for Terminal Year (A) | 9,059.0 |
| Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) (B) | 13.9% |
| Terminal Value Growth Rate (C) | 5.0% |

-
/ - Rounding Difference
-
ii) “Under CCM Analysis of Lifestyle Business Undertaking, provide calculation being deriving the Median EV / EBITDA multiple.”
-

III. NEED FOR MERGER AND DEMERGER/ RATIONALE AND BENEFITS OF THE SCHEME/ SYNERGIES OF THE BUSINESS OF THE ENTITIES INVOLVED IN THE SCHEME/ COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF THE SCHEME
The business presently undertaken by RL (directly and indirectly) comprise the lifestyle business and the non-lifestyle business both of which have different requirements and are operated independent of each other as separate business verticals. The requirements of each business, including in terms of capital, operations, knowledge, nature of risk, competitive advantages and strategies, and regulatory compliances are very distinct when compared with the other. Each of these business verticals are significantly large and mature and have a distinct attractiveness to divergent set of investors, strategic partners and other stakeholders.
To unlock the potential value of each business vertical, it is proposed through this Scheme, to: (i) completely segregate the lifestyle business and the non-lifestyle business and create two strong and distinctive platforms and flagship listed entities; (ii) amalgamate RG with RCCL to rationalize, simplify and streamline the group structure.
The proposed restructuring results in the following benefits:
- (i) The lifestyle business and the non-lifestyle business have both achieved scale and experience to sustain business on the basis of their own strengths. Additionally, both businesses deal with different sets of industry dynamics in the form or nature of risks, competition, challenges, opportunities and business methods. Hence,
13
==> picture [100 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
segregation of the two businesses would enable focused managements to explore the potential business opportunities more effectively and efficiently;
-
(ii) Demerger will enable both RL & RCCL to enhance business operations resulting in operational synergies and achieving zero net debt for lifestyle business and non-lifestyle business by streamlining operations, more efficient management control and outlining independent growth strategies.
-
(iii) Each business will be able to target and attract new investors with specific knowledge, expertise and risk appetite corresponding to their own businesses. Thus, each business will have its own set of likeminded investors, thereby providing the necessary funding impetus to the long-term growth strategies of each business;
-
(iv) Demerger will enhance efficiencies and will have different business interest into separate corporate entity, resulting in operational synergies, simplification, focused management, streamlining and optimization of the group structure and efficient administration.
-
(v) The demerger will unlock value of both businesses and result in shareholder value maximisation.
-
(vi) The Amalgamation will further streamline the corporate structure of RCCL by aligning the interest of various shareholders directly.
-
(vii) Pursuant to the Scheme, the equity shares issued by RCCL would be listed on BSE and NSE. The existing shareholders of RL would hold the shares of two (2) listed entities after the Scheme becoming effective; giving them flexibility in managing their investments in the two businesses having differential dynamics.

The business presently undertaken by the Company (directly and indirectly) comprises of the lifestyle business and the non-lifestyle business both of which have different requirements and are operated independent of each other as separate business verticals.
The segregation of the lifestyle business undertaking would not impact the revenue generating capacity of the remaining business of the Company related to the non-lifestyle business. Further, the demerger would unlock value of each business vertical of the Company thereby enhancing its business operations with more efficient management control and independent strategies thus positively impacting its revenue generating capacity of the non-lifestyle business.

Independent Auditor's Review Report on Consolidated Unaudited Quarterly Financial Results and Year to Date Results of the Company pursuant to the Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 read with Regulation 63 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations·, 2015 (as amended)

-
We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited consolidated financial results ('the Statement') of Raymond Limited ('the Holding Company') and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as 'the Group'), its associates and joint ventures (refer Annexure 1 for the list of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures included in the Statement) for the quarter ended 30 September 2023 and the consolidated year to date results for the period 01 April 2023 to 30 September 2023, being submitted by the Holding Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 read with Regulation 63 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) ('Listing Regulations').
-
This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Holding Company's management and approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting ('Ind AS 34'), prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act'), 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 Listing Regulations. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
-
We conducted our review of the Statement 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 Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons 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 the Standards on Auditing 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.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the SEBI Circular CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated 29 March 2019 issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the Listing Regulation, to the extent applicable.

Annexure 1: Summary of Valuation Approaches & Methodologies used for Valuation Exercise
| Company | Market Approach – | Income Approach- | Asset /Cost Approach |
|---|---|---|---|
| CCM Method | DCF Method | – Summation Method | |
| Lifestyle Business | ✓ | ✓ | X |
| RCCL | X | X | ✓ |
| RGCTL | X | X | ✓ |
Notes:
1. For the present valuation analysis, we have considered it appropriate to apply the Income Approach and Market Approach for Lifestyle Business Undertaking and Asset approach for RCCL and RGCTL to arrive at the value of the equity shares for the purpose of the Proposed Transaction.
2. Given the nature of the businesses of the Companies and the fact that Lifestyle Business Undertaking projected financials has been provided, we have considered it appropriate to apply the DCF Method under the Income Approach to arrive at the value of the shares of the Companies for the purpose of arriving at the Equity Share Exchange Ratio.
3. We have applied Comparable Companies Multiples method under Market Approach, wherein we have considered the appropriate trading multiples of the comparable companies listed on recognized stock exchange for the valuation of Lifestyle Business Undertaking for the purpose of arriving at the Equity Share Exchange Ratio.
4. The value of RCCL is considered based on the transaction value provided by the management. The management has further informed that, transaction is agreed for all-cash consideration deal for sale/ transfer of Consumer Business to independent buyer. Therefore, for the valuation of RCCL we have considered the Summation Method under Asset Approach.
5. RGCTL is an investment holding company and it does not have any business operations other than Investment in RCCL and RGCPL. Therefore, for valuation of RGCTL Summation Method under Asset Approach is considered.

Under Market Approach, we have considered CCM Method. Under the CCM method, the value is determined on the basis of multiples derived from valuations of comparable companies listed on the stock exchanges. This is based on the principle that market valuations, taking place between informed buyers and informed sellers, incorporate all factors relevant to valuation.

Clarification to queries raised by NSE

Point No. 4. As per the clarification submitted, it is stated that provisional financials were considered for deriving valuation of the companies involved in Scheme. Kindly clarify how is the Company complying with Exchange’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) dated December 20, 2022 on Scheme of Arrangement, which states that the audited financials shall be considered for valuations. Clarification in this regard is required for the Valuer.
-
In the composite scheme of arrangement between Raymond Limited, RGCTL, RCCL and their respective shareholders, the two unlisted companies involved are RGCTL and RCCL.
-
RCCL does not have any business operations other than Consumer Business. On the date of issue of the Report dated April 27, 2023, the Board of RCCL has approved the transaction for sale of consumer care business with a listed third party for cash consideration of INR 2,825.0 Cr inclusive of working capital and exclusive of plant. In the same board meeting the Composite Scheme of Arrangement was also approved.
-
Therefore, the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023 (prior to the transaction) do not represent the true financial position of RCCL as on the date of Report. Hence, provisional financials of RCCL are considered post giving effect for net of tax consideration for transfer of consumer care business.
-
RGCTL is an investment holding company of RCCL and Ray Global Consumer Product Limited (“RGCPL“). RGCPL is a non-operating Company. RGCTL has no major assets other than investment in RCCL and RGCPL. Since RGCTL derives its entire value from investment in RCCL, use of either provisional or audited financials of RGCTL do not have any impact on the recommended swap ratio.
-
In case of Lifestyle Business Undertaking, the carved-out management approved provisional financials are considered for valuation analysis as it is not a separate legal entity. Further, being a listed company the audited financial results of Raymond Limited for the financial year ended March 31, 2023 were approved by the board of directors and disclosed to the stock exchanges only on May 9, 2023 which is subsequent to our report.

Pont No. 5. “Kindly clarify with respect to the following points pertaining to the calculation submitted by the valuer,”
-
i) “Under DCF Analysis of Lifestyle Business Undertaking, provide calculation behind deriving the Present Value of TV.”
-
The Calculation behind deriving the Present Value of TV is as follows -
| Particulars | INR Mn |
|---|---|
| Free Cash Flow for Terminal Year (A) | 9,059.0 |
| Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) (B) | 13.9% |
| Terminal Value Growth Rate (C) | 5.0% |
| Terminal Value (D) = (A)/((B)-(C)) | 1,01,786.0 |

-
/ - Rounding Difference
-
ii) “Under CCM Analysis of Lifestyle Business Undertaking, provide calculation being deriving the Median EV / EBITDA multiple.”
-

In this regard, request you to kindly clarify from both the valuers whether the said transaction of RCCL with a listed third party of Rs.2825 Cr. is being considered in their valuation reports for arriving at the swap ratios.
