Auditor reports for prior periods contained Emphasis of Matter paragraphs involving guarantees and payments on behalf of foreign entities, FEMA compliance evaluation and overdue foreign-currency payables beyond RBI timelines. Opinions were not modified, but the matters indicate historical cross-border compliance complexity.

Dependence on Aerospace Segment
Aerospace accounted for 89.19% of FY2025 revenue from operations. A downturn in global aerospace demand, changes in OEM production rates or adverse developments in key markets can directly impair revenue, profitability and cash flows.
business concentration · material · p.41
Capital-intensive manufacturing model
The business requires continuous investment in machinery, production lines and upgrades. FY2025 property, plant and equipment cash expenditure was Rs 2,651.62 million, or 28.68% of revenue. Insufficient capital or poor returns on new equipment can damage cash flows and returns.
capital intensity · material · p.44
Operating cash flow volatility
Consolidated operating cash flow was negative Rs 191.08 million in FY2024 and several subsidiaries recorded negative operating cash flows in one or more periods. Continued investment without consistent operating cash generation could increase dependence on financing.
cash flow · material · p.47
Requirement-based contracts do not guarantee order volumes
OEM agreements generally do not require customers to place fixed quantities within fixed periods. Purchase orders can be amended or cancelled, while the Company may already have committed raw material, staffing and capacity based on forecast demand.
contract and demand · material · p.43
Extreme customer concentration
The ten largest customer groups contributed 88.57% of FY2025 revenue and the top three contributed 53.97%. Loss of, reduced sourcing by, or financial stress at even a small number of major OEM customers can materially reduce revenue.
customer concentration · material · p.42
New capacity may remain underutilised
Fresh-issue proceeds will partly fund additional plant and machinery despite already moderate aggregate utilisation. If demand does not absorb the additional capacity or production stabilisation is delayed, fixed-cost absorption, margins and ROCE can deteriorate.
execution and returns · material · p.49
Indian manufacturing concentrated in Karnataka
All manufacturing clusters operated in India are in Karnataka. State-specific infrastructure failures, natural disasters, labour disruption, regulatory changes or political conditions could simultaneously affect a large portion of Indian operations.
geographic concentration · material · p.46
Low and uneven capacity utilisation
Consolidated capacity utilisation was only 41.77% in FY2025. Consumer India utilisation was 17.07%, France Aerospace 27.92% and USA Aerospace 14.47%, while India Aerospace was 66.53%. Sustained underutilisation leaves fixed costs poorly absorbed and can depress margins and ROCE.

Persistent consolidated losses
The Group reported losses of Rs 1,023.46 million, Rs 142.44 million and Rs 1,094.95 million in FY2025, FY2024 and FY2023. FY2025 also included a Rs 482.65 million goodwill impairment. There is no demonstrated record of consistent consolidated profitability in the disclosed three-year period.

Licences and approvals must be maintained
The Company and material subsidiaries require numerous factory, environmental, SEZ and other approvals in India, the USA and France. Delayed renewals, non-compliance or revocation can interrupt operations and trigger penalties.
regulatory approvals · material · p.53
Execution risk in growth strategy
The strategy requires additional capital, new production lines, technology development, higher-value aerospace work and customer diversification. FY2025 revenue declined 4.19%, showing that historical growth has not been linear.
strategy · material · p.52
Loss-making subsidiaries
Multiple subsidiaries reported losses in one or more of FY2023-FY2025. The Company may need to fund those operations further and investments could ultimately require write-offs.
subsidiary performance · material · p.52
Raw material price and availability risk
Manufacturing depends on aluminium, stainless steel, titanium and other materials from third-party suppliers, including imports. Supply disruption, quality problems, tariffs or geopolitical events can interrupt production. Customer pass-through mechanisms do not eliminate short-term cash-flow exposure.
