Our international performance also remained relatively subdued. Despite these near-term headwinds, we continue to see healthy medium-term opportunities across our key geographies and specialised applications. We are progressively ramping up our expanded manufacturing capabilities and remain focused on strengthening our presence across higher value-added segments including industrial gases, semiconductors, defence, hydrogen and other clean energy applications. With gas expected to remain an important part of India’s mobility and energy mix, and with a broader addressable market emerging globally for high-pressure storage solutions, EKC remains well positioned to pursue sustainable long-term growth.” - Pushkar Khurana, Chairman & Puneet Khurana, Managing Director Everest Kanto Cylinder Limited www.everestkanto.com Page 2 EKC · Q1 FY27 RESULTS BSE: 532684 · NSE: EKC Manufacturing Footprint Tarapur Kandla SEZ Mundra Jebel Ali Pittsburgh Egypt INDIA INDIA INDIA DUBAI USA EGYPT 6 ~1.8M 30M+ 47 Manufacturing facilities Cylinders / year capacity Cylinders in service Years of operation ABOUT EKC INVESTOR RELATIONS Everest Kanto Cylinder Limited (BSE: 532684, NSE: EKC), established Sanjiv Kapur, Whole-Time Anoop Poojari / Mitesh Jain 1978, is a leading global manufacturer of seamless steel gas cylinders for Director & CFO CDR INDIA industrial, CNG and clean energy applications - oxygen, hydrogen, +91 22 4926 8300 +91 98330 90434 nitrogen, argon and helium storage across manufacturing, medical, sanjiv.kapur@ekc.in +91 96194 44691 aerospace/defence and automotive sectors. anoop@cdr-india.com mitesh@cdr-india.com Disclaimer: Certain statements herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking and subject to risks and uncertainties, including government actions, political/economic developments, and technological factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.
