Good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining us for the Q1 FY27 Earnings Call. The first quarter of FY27 was shaped by an unusual start of the agricultural season. Channel activity started in March ahead of the anticipated timelines. A delayed and uneven monsoon, coupled with high temperatures across several regions, impacted sowing activity and delayed demand for crop protection products. While this affected industry performance during the quarter, we believe that still there is ample opportunity to recover. With rainfall improving and acreage picking up, we expect agriculture activity to gain momentum in the coming months. Talking about IIL, IIL has established itself as a potential fully integrated agrochemical company. Even in slower environment, the quarter highlighted the importance of building a business that is not dependent on single crop or product category. Page 2 of 18 Insecticides (India) Limited August 11, 2026 Over the last few years, we have focused on creating multiple growth drivers through premium products, R&D, technology partnerships, KAEROS research, international markets. These investments are helping us building a stronger and more diversified growth platform for the future. Within the core business, premiumization continues to gain traction with our Maharatna and Focus Maharatna portfolio contributing around 64% of business. During the quarter, we further strengthened this portfolio through new product launches and collaborations. GRANUVIA and Spinoace, both launched in collaboration with Corteva Agriscience, were introduced through extensive engagement with dealers, distributors, retailers and farmers across the country. We see these products as multiyear opportunities, where increasing farmer acceptance can build meaningful contribution over the coming years. These launches are supported by our continued focus on R&D and technology partnerships. During the quarter, we continued working with Corteva, Nissan and OAT Agrio to access differentiated technologies and molecules. While our internal R&D teams remain focused on developing products suited to the Indian market. Our work with OAT Agrio on a new molecule discovery is also progressing, helping strengthen the pipeline for the coming years. The next step is to translate this product pipeline into wider farmer adoption and this is where our distribution and field engagement become important. During Q1, we conducted more than 3,600 farmer meetings, 600 field days were organized, 1,400 demonstrations and over 15,000 farmer visits were made by the team of IIL, and these were all supported by more than 8,500 distributors and 70,000 retail network. These engagements helped us to maintain strong farmer connect even as the season started later than normal . Talking about our IIL Crop Solutions program, it is an important extension of this approach as it demonstrates complete crop solutions and their economics directly in the farmer field following strong farmer acceptance and demonstrated ROI from the existing 36 plots. We are now planning to double the number of plots while expanding its presence across 14 states and 4 crops. Now rice, cotton, chili, soybean will be using these 4 crops. The objective is to demonstrate efficacy and economics at the field level and create stronger product pool for the differentiated portfolio. Along with the core business, Kaeros Research contributed to make progress during the quarter. More than 40 products are already commercialized. We are expanding its portfolio and distribution footprint while developing B2B and pack-to-pack opportunities. The focus remains on scaling Kaeros into a meaningful second growth platform over the medium term.

With this opportunity progressing through including trials, we are taking calibrated approach to establish these relationships before scaling them with the expectation that successful engagement can develop into meaningful medium-term opportunities. Now the sales of the technicals is catching up, and there is good acceptance of these technicals across the world wherever we are going. And we believe that along with the white labelling, our business of technicals is going to flourish in the international market and that will support us in increasing the sales volumes and the sales numbers. On the operating side, crude and petroleum-linked raw material costs remain an area of pressure during the quarter, impacting parts of crop protection value chain. We continue to address this through calibrated pricing, better product mix and increasing contr [Showing first 8,000 characters — download PDF for full document]
