Mithun K. Chittilappilly: Thank you, Aniruddha, and the team at ICICI Securities for hosting today's call. A warm welcome to everyone joining us to discuss our company's operating and financial performance for the first quarter of FY27. I trust all of you had the opportunity to review the investor presentation shared earlier. We started FY27 on a strong performance in the first quarter with all business segments reporting double-digit growth. Consolidated revenue for Q1 FY27 stood at INR1,810 crores, representing a Y-o-Y growth of 23.5%. The quarter benefited from a more favorable summer season compared to the last year's Q1. Despite supply chain disruptions and commodity cost pressures arising from the West Asia conflict, we delivered robust growth while maintaining a healthy gross margin through proactive pricing actions, disciplined cost management and the inherent resilience of our business model and brand. The Electronics segment comprising of stabilizers, UPS systems and solar power systems reported a strong growth of 22.8% Y-o-Y with all major product categories contributing positively to the quarter. The Electricals segment registered a revenue growth of 27.7% Y-o-Y, while growth was aided by higher copper prices, while switchgear modern switches and pumps delivered robust volume growth. In the Consumer Durables segment, covering fans, water heaters, kitchen appliances and air coolers, we reported a revenue growth of 19.2% Y-o-Y, while there was a significant spike in induction cooks in the quarter, the broader kitchen appliances portfolio also delivered a healthy growth. The other categories also did well, resulting in a well-balanced performance in the segment. Page 2 of 17 ,> V-Guard Industries Limited VGU/\RD July 30, 2026 Sunflame reported revenue growth of 18.3% Y-o-Y in Q1. Over the past two years, we have focused on product quality, customer service and people capabilities. Functional integration is complete and we now have embarked on a sales acceleration program. We are beginning to see the benefits in its improved business momentum. From a geographic perspective, the revenues from the South market grew by 36.7% Y-o-Y, while the non-South market grew by 12%. The difference in growth largely reflects the variations in the summer season across the various regions in the country. The gross margin remained healthy at 36.9%, in line with the corresponding quarter of the previous year despite higher input costs during the period. The stability in margins reflects our ability to respond swiftly through calibrated pricing actions while continuing to benefit from structural improvements from our manufacturing footprint and product mix achieved over the past few years. EBITDA excluding other income for Q1 stood at INR191 crores, reflecting a Y-o-Y growth of 54.5%. EBITDA margin was at 10.5% compared with 8.4% in Q1 of previous year. Consolidated PAT for the quarter was INR130 crores, up 76% Y-o-Y compared to INR74 crores in Q1 FY26. Cash flow was strong with a net cash position at INR670 crores compared to INR155 crores a year ago. While working capital improvements were particularly favorable this quarter, we remain focused on disciplined working capital management on a sustainable basis. We will continue to monitor the geopolitical situation and will take appropriate action necessary to protect supplies and margins. We are hopeful that the growth momentum will sustain in the upcoming quarters as well. With that, I conclude my opening remarks. I would like to thank Aniruddha and the team at ICICI Securities for hosting this call. I would like to request the moderator to open the floor for Q&A. Thank You. Moderator: Thank you very much. We will now begin with the question-and-answer session. First question is from the line of Sameer Gupta from IIFL Capital. Please go ahead. Sameer Gupta: Hi sir, good afternoon. Congrats on a good set of numbers and thanks for taking my question. Two questions from my side. First question, could you just elaborate on the kind of inflation in the RM basket and the consequent price hikes taken? If you could also break them down into how much is already there in the reported quarter and how much would be at an exit level? Also, if you could spell out the quantum of price hikes and volume growth from an increment perspective? That would be my first question, sir. Mithun K. Chittilappilly: Yes. So, I think if you look at the pricing action, I think almost I would say maybe 80%, 85% of the pricing actions are complete. A lot of the raw materials have kind of stabilized, i.e., they have stopped going up or they have started to normalize. Some of the commodities are remaining at the elevated levels. So that's where we are at right now. If you divide this 22%, 23% between price and volume, price growth is about 14% and volume growth will be about 9%. This is for a blended weighted average.
