LIMITED REVIEW REPORT
----- End of picture text -----

To The Board of Directors The Supreme Industries Limited

1. We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited consolidated financial results of The Supreme Industries Limited (“the Holding Company”), its foreign subsidiary and an associate (together referred to as “the Group”) for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and year to date results for the period from April 01, 2020 to December 31, 2020 (“the Statement”) attached herewith, being submitted by the Holding Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing, Obligations and Disclosure requirements) Regulations, 2015 (‘Listing regulations’). This statement is the responsibility of the Holding Company’s management and has been approved by the Board of Directors.

2. We conducted our review 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. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Holding Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

3. The Statement includes the results of the following entities:

Name of the Entity	Relationship
The SupremeIndustries Overseas (FZE)	Wholly ownedforeignsubsidiary

These financial statements have been certified by the Company’s Management and furnished to us, and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amount and disclosures included in respect of the said subsidiary is also based solely on these certified financial statements.

2. b) We did not review the financial results of the Associate included in the consolidated financial statements, whose financial statements reflect net profit and total comprehensive income of Rs. 5,279 lakhs and Rs. 7,565 lakhs (represents Group’s share) for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from April 01, 2019 to December 31, 2020, respectively. These financial statements have been reviewed by other auditor whose review report has been furnished to us by the Holding Company’s management and our conclusion on the Statement, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of the associate is based solely on the report of the other auditor.

Mr. M. P. Taparia, Managing Director, The Supreme Industries Limited, said:

Business situation has become normal in all the segments where Company is operating. Company achieved a volume and value growth of 10% and 30% respectively in the 3rd quarter.

The Company’s value added business has grown to Rs. 758 crores as compared to Rs. 568 Crores in comparable quarter of the previous year. The increase in volume sale supported by increase in the business of value added products have improved operating margin to 21.53% compared to 16.11% of the previous year in the same quarter. The OPM has also improved significantly due to inventory gain on account of rapid price increase of PVC resin to the extent of around Rs. 80 crores in the quarter.

The Crop situation in the Country is normal, which has boosted the rural income. The Rabi crop sowing has also been done in a larger area than the previous year. Company enjoyed good demand for its products from rural market and Tier III and Tier IV cities.

In the current quarter, the demand also got a fillip from the Housing market. Several Policy initiatives have facilitated brisk sale of ready to occupy housing units. Demand for Company’s housing products has revived in Metro cities.

The demand for Furniture and Material handling products were higher compared to previous year. With a better offtake of consumer durables, the Company enjoyed good demand for its’ industrial components business.

The Company’s Packaging segment working was affected due to increase in its raw material prices which could be passed over with a time lag, which may happen in the current quarter.

Company has also introduced economy model of Tarpaulin also in Cross Laminated film segment having lower value addition. However, the overall demand for Cross Laminated film products for the year is expected at a higher level which may boost business to 21,000 MT in the year compared to 17,000 MT in the previous year.

Protective packaging division in this segment has also fared better as demand has come from Construction, Consumer appliances, yoga mats and other segments.

Plastic raw material prices remain at an elevated level. PVC resin prices have gone up by Rs. 23/- per kg in the quarter with an increase of 25% in its prices. The PVC prices remain even now at the elevated level. At the increased prices, there is a demand resistance from agricultural segment. It is expected that the resin prices may start softening by March.

The Company’s CAPEX plan is going smoothly. Along with carried forward investment commitment of Rs. 182 crores, the Company has made a plan to invest around Rs. 400 crores in this year.
