These decline in margin was driven by following factors
1. Sharp increase in prices of raw materials: RM Drip & Sprinklers Systems Limited is engaged in the
business of manufacturing irrigation and sprinkler systems. Raw materials, primarily HDPE and
LLDPE granules, constitute the largest component of the Company's product costs. The prices of
these raw materials are directly linked to crude oil prices. Owing to prevailing geopolitical tensions,
crude oil prices witnessed a significant increase, resulting in an approximately 40% increase in raw
material prices compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Disruptions in global
supply chains, shipping and international trade further intensified the cost pressures. Consequently,
the cost of goods sold increased significantly, making the rise in raw material prices one of the
largest contributor to the decline in gross profit margins. Further, refer to Annexure 1 for detailed
information on the increase in raw material prices and the corresponding year-on-year comparison.
2. Delayed Impact Due to the Inventory Cycle: The Company generally maintains an inventory of raw
materials sufficient to meet approximately 45 to 60 days of production requirements. The increase
in raw material prices commenced during the quarter ended June 30, 2026. However, during the
said quarter, the Company continued to consume its existing inventory procured at relatively lower
prices, alongside newly procured inventory at higher prices. Accordingly, the impact of increased
raw material costs was partially reflected in the margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. During
the current quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company largely consumed newly procured
inventory purchased at significantly higher prices. Consequently, the full impact of the increase in
raw material costs was reflected in the cost of production, resulting in a sharper decline in profit
margins during the quarter.
3. Infrastructure Investments and Impact of Geopolitical Developments: Prior to the significant
increase in raw material prices, the Company had undertaken investments towards strengthening
its infrastructure and expanding its operational capabilities. These initiatives included recruitment
of experienced industry professionals and expansion of business operations into three additional
states, with a view to supporting future growth and larger business plans. However, the prevailing
geopolitical situation and its consequential economic impact adversely affected the Company's
expansion plans, resulting in lower-than-anticipated business volumes and capacity utilisation.

Despite the lower volumes, fixed costs associated with the expanded operational base, including
depreciation, finance costs and other overheads, continued to be incurred. Consequently, these costs
were allocated over lower production and sales volumes, resulting in an increase in per-unit costs
and adversely impacting profit margins.
4. Government-prescribed selling rates: A significant portion of the Company's supplies is made under
government subsidy schemes applicable to the irrigation sector. Supplies under these schemes are
required to be made at rates prescribed under the respective government rate lists, thereby limiting
the Company's ability to revise selling prices in response to increases in input costs.
5. Adverse Impact of drought on Sales: The Company's business is closely linked to agricultural
activities, and demand for its products is significantly influenced by prevailing agricultural
conditions and farmers' purchasing capacity. The prevailing drought conditions adversely impacted
agricultural activity and reduced farmers' ability and willingness to invest in irrigation systems.
Consequently, the Company's sales during the quarter were approximately 30% lower than the
targets envisaged for the period. The lower sales volumes resulted in reduced contribution towards
the recovery of fixed costs, thereby further adversely impacting the Company's operating
profitability and profit before tax
Management Outlook and Corrective Actions
Management expects the above factors to be temporary in nature and largely beyond its control.
However, the Company has identified and planned the following corrective measures to mitigate their
impact and improve profitability:
1. Represent to the relevant government authorities, through the Irrigation Association, for
revision of government-prescribed rates to reflect the prevailing input costs. (Attaching in
