Our refreshed curriculum businesses got multiple repeat orders from across the country. We generated Rs91m revenues from content licensing during the quarter. We expect growth acceleration in this segment in the coming quarters. In terms of inventory, we took a conscious decision to advance Paper purchases since we are expecting higher paper prices and elongated shipping timelines for imported paper. This should be seen as a short- term strategic move considering the Geo-political environment that the world is facing. We continue to be on solid footing in terms of working capital and receivables days. We continued our strong cash flow generation and remained net debt free at the end of the quarter with an increased net cash balance of Rs1,182m (Vs. Q4FY26: Rs1,160m). We look forward to NCERT releasing the remaining books on the new syllabus over the course of the year. We expect the full adoption of the new syllabus books in FY27.” STABLE WORKING CAPITAL METRICS • Q1 Receivable days are stable. • Net Working Capital days increased mildly due • Geo-political instability in the Middle East to higher inventory levels. continues to hamper our collections from the • Working capital efficiency has translated into region.

Operating revenues to grow in the range Evaluate Inorganic FY27 of 10%-15% Opportunities for enhancing our product (Excluding any portfolio acquisitions during the year) Consolidated Financial Performance CHANGING NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS • K-12 (National & Regional Board) have been growing steadily. • The acquisition of CPD Singapore would drive our K-12 (International Board) business. This was a gap area in the S Chand Group’s offerings and we expect this segment to scale up strongly given the number of schools being added in the International Curriculum segment across South East Asia, Middle East and India. Do not that FY26 revenues for this segment are only for 2 months post our acquisition. • Our Digital Businesses have scaled rapidly for the S Chand Group. This is a segment with immense potential and we expect it to contribute meaningfully in the years to come.
