Much is said about the unique strengths of founder-led companies - and
rightly so. Founders bring a strong sense of ownership and long-term vision. But what if
an organization could embed that very mindset into a promoter-less, BOARD - governed
company? At Redington, we've done precisely that.

Redington today is among the top ten technology distributors in the
world, a feat achieved despite not having a presence in the world's three largest IT
markets - the United States (US), Europe, and China. This achievement underscores the
strength and scale of our business model.
We serve a vibrant ecosystem of 70,000+ channel partners as of March
2025, spanning 40+ countries. We maintain trusted relationships with 450+ global brands
and are deeply embedded in their growth strategies and remain committed to enabling their
success. As technologies become more intelligent and integrated, we are helping businesses
adopt and scale them across regions where access and readiness still vary. By broadening
our offerings, we continue to stay ahead of customer needs and remain future-ready.

Central to our journey is a deep commitment to governance that goes
beyond compliance. We make decisions in the best interests of our stakeholders; we always
put Redington First in everything we do.
Since our public listing in 2007, we have grown revenues more than
tenfold, profits over thirteen times, and maintained one of the strongest balance sheets
in the industry. Our credit ratings and shareholder returns have remained consistently
high, reaffirming our disciplined approach to profitable growth and value creation.
Financial Performance
Since becoming a promoter-less and fully Board - governed company in
2017, we've drawn strength from a seasoned and highly engaged Board whose strategic
insights and guidance have brought continuity and stability. We have fortified our
governance frameworks, enhanced our agility, and developed a sharper ability to navigate
regulatory, societal, and technological shifts. More importantly, we have fostered a
strong culture of psychological ownership, where responsibility is shared, leadership is
empowered, and success is truly collective.
Over the years, we have nurtured an organization where purpose and
performance go hand in hand. At the core of our philosophy lies a guiding principle: What
is good for Redington is good for our stakeholders. This clarity enables us to act
decisively and responsibly, balancing short-term needs with long-term vision.
Our commitment to environmental and social responsibility is strong.
Whether it is supporting local employment mandates in regions like Saudi Arabia, investing
in LEED-certified infrastructure and energy-efficient operations, or aligning with ESG
imperatives, we approach sustainability not as a mandate but as an opportunity to drive
meaningful impact.
Our people are the cornerstone of our success. The 5,000+ Redingtonians
across the globe bring unmatched expertise, agility, and passion to everything we do. We
continue to invest in building a diverse, globally capable, and locally rooted talent pool
- equipped to navigate complexity, lead transformation, and deliver enduring value for
all.
Since our inception, we have built a strong distribution ecosystem that
helps the members negotiate markets, technologies, and knowledge-related frictions and
thereby shorten the gap between technology innovation and adoption. Our investments in
digital platforms, bundled services, and differentiated go-to-market models position us
well for a future that is increasingly software-led, subscription-based, and AI-enabled.
We foresee tremendous opportunities to lead in this next wave - not just by growing our
business but by amplifying our impact over the entire ecosystem.
To our shareholders, thank you for your trust. With conviction in our
strategy, confidence in our purpose, and a commitment to enduring principles, we move
forward resilient, responsible, and above all, Build to Last.
Warm Regards,
Professor J. Ramachandran
Chairman
