Yours faithfully, For LEAP India Limited Chirag Bagadia Company Secretary, Compliance Officer and Head Legal Membership No.: A21579 LEAP India delivers profit growth nearly 3x faster than revenue in Q2FY27 Q2FY27 Income Rises 23%; PAT Surges 62% | H1FY27 PAT up 42% on 21% Income Growth Acquires Vimprotech and TIPS to build an End-to-End Packaging Platform Mumbai, October 26, 2026 (NSE: LEAPIND | BSE: LEAPIND) LEAP India Limited ("LEAP" or "the Company"), India's largest on-demand asset-pooling platform, today announced its results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026 ("Q2FY27" and "H1FY27"). The quarter saw profits grow well ahead of revenue, a materially stronger balance sheet following IPO-led deleveraging, and a credit rating upgrade from India Ratings & Research. Alongside its organic performance, LEAP strengthened its platform through the strategic acquisitions of Vimprotech and TIPS, adding in-house plastics designing manufacturing capability and deepening its presence in automotive container pooling, while continuing to build its GCC business. Market Leadership | Long Structural Runway LEAP commands ~ 90% of India's pallet-pooling market - a market that remains at a nascent stage, with pooling penetration of just 9.4% and palletisation of 17%, compared with 89-94% palletisation in North America, Europe and ANZ. India's pooled-pallet market is projected to grow at a 14.9% CAGR between FY26 and FY31, from approximately 10 Mn to 20 Mn units, as organised Grade A warehousing, supply-chain automation and modern retail and e-commerce drive demand for standardised, high-quality pallets. As the category leader, LEAP is best placed to capture this structural shift.

EBITDA rose 25% to Rs. 1,097 Mn, with margins expanding 91 bps to 50.8%, while Profit After Tax surged 62% to Rs. 178 Mn and PAT margin widened 200 bps to 8.2%. For H1FY27, total income grew 21% to Rs. 4,294 Mn and PAT grew 42% to Rs. 425 Mn, with PAT margin expanding 149 bps to 9.9%. The gap between top-line and bottom-line growth reflects operating leverage across a larger, better-utilised network, cost discipline and an 11.9% year-on-year decline in quarterly finance costs. Net debt nearly halved to Rs. 4,337 Mn from Rs. 8,010 Mn a year ago. Strategic Acquisitions | Expanding Capabilities LEAP's Rs. 1,420 Mn acquisition of Vimprotech and TIPS marks a significant step in its evolution into an end-to-end returnable packaging solutions provider. Vimprotech brings in-house design, mould- making and multi-process plastics manufacturing across two units in Puducherry and Tamil Nadu, while TIPS adds a high-margin automotive container pooling business with four warehouses across Bangalore, Nashik and Tirunelveli. Together, the businesses contribute Rs. 650 Mn in FY26 revenue with 200+ customers across electronics, white goods, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, auto and F&B. The transaction enhances backward integration, reduces external dependency, supports cost efficiencies and opens cross- selling opportunities for pallets, crates, containers and MHE across LEAP's nationwide network. Credit Upgrade | Stronger Balance Sheet India Ratings & Research upgraded LEAP & TARON long-term bank loan rating to IND A+ / Stable from IND A, and its short-term rating to IND A1+ from IND A1 the Company's third credit rating improvement in three and a half years. Debt-to-equity improved to 0.48x from 0.96x a year ago, and net debt to EBITDA has come down to about 1.9x from about 4.4x, with approximately Rs. 1,100 Mn held as investments, giving LEAP meaningful financial flexibility to fund its next phase of growth. Network Moat | Difficult to Replicate LEAP operates a pool of 15.5 Mn assets with an asset base value of over Rs. 18,200 Mn, serving 1,100+ customers across 11,000+ touchpoints and 27 fulfilment centres. Customer churn remains below 0.5%, reflecting the mission-critical nature of the service and the strength of its blue-chip relationships. Asset utilisation remained high, with pallets at 89.3%, MHE at 82.3% and containers improving to 73.7%.
