PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

Your Company has shown resilience and strategic agility in
managing a complex mix of external and industry-specific
challenges, despite a volatile global environment.

During the financial year under review, the Company reported
total revenue of ' 612 Crores, as against ' 657 Crores. in the
previous year. This decline was primarily attributable to a
reduction in trading sales volume, in line with our strategic
decision to optimize and rationalize non-core trading
activities in favor of improving operational efficiency and
profitability.

Due to this strategic planning, though the Company recorded
a decline in absolute profit (PBT) of 4.5% from ' 37.2 Crores.
in FY 2024 to ' 35.5 Crores. in FY 2025, it is noteworthy that
the profit margins (PBT) were maintained at 5.8% for FY
2025 vs 5.7% for FY 2024, reflecting our strong focus on cost
optimization, efficient operational practices, and a balanced
product mix.

GP Petroleums, a key player in the lubricant manufacturing
industry, is significantly reliant on base oil which is a crude oil
derivative as its core input. The year was deeply influenced by
ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Eastern
Europe, particularly in oil-producing and transit regions.

These conflicts not only disrupted the supply of crude and
refined oil products but also introduced uncertainty in pricing
and shipping routes.

Due to the aforementioned external challenges, our core
manufacturing business segment experienced pressure,
limiting our ability to enhance overall profitability during the
year. Despite these headwinds, we are pleased to report that
our automotive lubricants division demonstrated resilience
and recorded a commendable growth of 6% in both revenue
and profitability, reflecting the strength of our brand,
distribution network, and customer-centric product offerings.

Backed by a solid foundation, focused execution, and a
clear strategic vision, your Company is well-positioned to
navigate uncertainties and capitalize on emerging growth
opportunities in the year ahead.
