Before we proceed to this call, let me remind you that the discussion may contain forward-looking statements that may involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors.

We will start the call with a brief overview of the quarter gone past and then conduct the Q&A session. With that said, I'll now hand over the call to Harshbeena Zaveri. Over to you, ma'am. Harshbeena Zaveri: Hello everyone. Apologies for my voice, just like most of Mumbai, I have a sore throat and a slight problem because of that. I hope that I am audible and that my voice is clear enough. Is it clear enough, ma'am? Moderator: Yes, ma'am, loud and clear. Harshbeena Zaveri: Thank you very much. So I am very delighted to be interacting once again with all our investors. Our Q1 performance reflects the momentum created through a year of disciplined execution. NRB’s trailing 12-months track record for profit growth is the highest. This is due to a high growth and highly diversified approach while staying true to our competencies. This is also evidence that NRB's diversification strategy is showing results. Our margin improvement is driven by structural action, capacity expansion, and thoughtful diversification. Throughout the year, we have remained prudent in our capital allocation, steadfast in our focus on delivering long-term value creation for our shareholders, moving step by step into an accelerated, profitable, and sustainable high-growth trajectory. Key performance indicators and Page 2 of 13 NRB Bearings Limited August 10, 2026 financial highlights are, revenue from operations which stood at INR370 crores in Q1 compared to INR310 crores the year before, reflecting a growth of 19.2% on a consolidated basis. Profit after tax increased to INR38 crores in Q1 FY27 as against INR33 crores registering an increase of 15% on a consolidated basis. Standalone results showed extremely healthy growth with sales rising 14.7% Y-o-Y and PAT rising 31.7% year-on-year. Similarly, standalone EBITDA showed a growth of 21.7% Y-o-Y. These numbers not only demonstrate the resilience of our business and the strength of our intent but also underscore our ability to consistently deliver profitable growth. The numbers are proof that our strategy has begun to work. Behind these strong financial results lies a transformative story in the making of NRB's deliberate, deeply studied strategic pivot. This is built on advanced manufacturing processes, proprietary and copyrighted computational analysis software, simulation capabilities, and a totally integrated approach which combines a lot of technical strengths, particularly on the R&D side. This includes kinematic motion studies, dynamic light weighting, noise reduction technologies, and domain expertise in material science, sealing, and lubrication technology to deliver breakthrough friction solutions. Our backbone is our R&D, and transforming engineering prowess directly into growth in new verticals is our focus. We have identified the verticals for future growth based on such capabilities that exist in our company today, and selected products through which we can enhance our leadership position. I want to be clear, while this is a fresh start, it's not any speculative leap into unknown territory. This strategic direction is built entirely on the corporate strengths we systematically developed over the last decade. And the target markets are adjacent spaces where customers seek the same strengths that our traditional automotive customers rely on us for. The idea is unlocking the true commercial value of our core assets. Having built this world-class foundation, we are now deploying it to capture high-margin opportunities across emerging and traditional both segments. We are strategically broadening our addressable market across six vital vectors. Many of these are between USD10 billion to USD14 billion market opportunities. The first, small, but critically important in the future, is aerospace. What are we doing here? We are buying speed, not scale. Many people have asked us why are we acquiring a relatively small aerospace company where our plans for this space are extremely ambitious, which they are. The answer is simple. We bought access, not capacity. Moving to automotive adjacencies is the next. We are moving beyond traditional boundaries within our core automotive business going well beyond legacy products into adjacent higher- value spaces where our precision engineering manufacturing capabilities are a huge advantage. Tapered and ball bearing wheel hubs, spherical roller bearings, automotive applications beyond transmission and chassis, to steering systems, one-way clutch, wheel bearings. Page 3 of 13 NRB Bearings Limited August 10, 2026 The third, beyond EV electrification. You already know our EV and AV agnostic strategies. But we view electrification holistically. We have recently combined our electric mobility vertical in our engineering to go beyond just mobility, to electrification. I mentioned last time about the business that we got with Siemens in this space. There are many more new announcements which will follow in the next three to six months as we collect opportunities and engage with potential customers in this space. So, we will move of course into high-frequency drives, commercial EV fleets, electric vehicles, electric two- wheelers, off-highway e-mobility, industrial electrification, where electrical erosion mitigation and ultra-low friction torque are paramount. The fourth one, mobility beyond curr [Showing first 8,000 characters — download PDF for full document]
