BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
State of Affairs of the Company/ Business Operations
Our Company is an India based multinational company, who pioneered the
development of the supply chain solutions market in India and is a tech-led and asset-
light supply chain solutions provider with capabilities across the value chain. We were
promoted by the erstwhile TVS Group, one of the reputed business groups in India, and are
now part of the TVS Mobility Group. For more than 20 years, we have managed large and
complex supply chains across multiple industries in India and select global markets
through customized tech-enabled solutions.
Our solutions, spanning the entire value chain from sourcing to
consumption, are divided into two segments: (i) Integrated Supply Chain Solutions (ISCS);
and (ii) Network Solutions (NS).
Our capabilities underthe ISCS segment include sourcing and
procurement, integrated transportation, logistics operation centers, in-plant logistics
operations, finished goods, aftermarket fulfilment and supply chain consulting.
Our capabilities underthe NS segment include global forwarding
solutions ("GFS"), which involves managing end-to-end freight forwarding and
distribution across ocean, air and land, warehousing and at port storage and value added
services, and integrated final mile solutions ("IFM") which involves closed loop
logistics and support including spares logistics, break-fix, refurbishment and engineering
support, and courier and consignment management.
During the year, the business saw growth in revenues at 8.5%. Our total
income was Rs 10,028.88 crores in Fiscal 2025 compared to Rs 9,247.90 crores in Fiscal
2024.
Your Company's focus on business development continues to deliver
strong results. Your Company added Rs 1009.00 crores additional revenue from the business
development in FY25. The number of Fortune 500 customers serviced by your Company has
grown to 91 as at FY25 compared to 78 in FY24, reflecting the steady growth of marquee
customers of the Company.
Adjusted EBITDA declined by 5.0%, from Rs 710.14 Cr to Rs 557.37 Cr,
primarily due to headwinds in key business segments.
This year marked a period of strategic wins and renewed partnerships
for our business. A major highlight was securing a significant contract in North America
with a leading global agricultural equipment manufactureran achievement that
underscores our growing footprint in the region and our capability to serve large-scale,
industry-leading clients. Additionally, we successfully regained a key contract in India
with a global auto component manufacturer, reaffirming our value proposition and the
strength of our client relationships. These milestones not only contributed to revenue
growth but also reinforced our position as a trusted partner in critical global markets.

The Integrated Supply Chain Solutions (ISCS) segment reported a 4.9%
year-over-year revenue growth, primarily driven by new business development wins, which
contributed significantly to the topline and a modest price increase. This was partially
offset by the planned exit of certain low margin customer accounts and volume declines
from existing clients, particularly in select geographies. These offsets tempered the
overall growth rate, but the net result reflects a stable performance with a strategic
shift toward higher- quality, more profitable business.
The Network Solutions (NS) segment delivered a 13.6% year-over-year
revenue growth, primarily fueled by new business wins and price increases implemented
during the year, partially offset by decline in volumes and customer churns. The strong
contribution from new accounts and improved pricing supported a healthy overall
performance for the segment.
ISCS Adjusted EBITDA fell by 2.4%, from Rs 536.2 Crores to Rs 523.5
Crores, primarily due to volume reductions in Q3 during the holiday season all of which
impacted cost absorption and profitability.
In the NS segment, Adjusted EBITDA declined by 9.3%, from Rs 185.8
Crores to Rs 168.6 Crores, despite strong revenue growth of 13.6%. This was primarily due
to IFM business, where the turnaround was completed in Q4, as well as margin pressure in
the GFS segment, where revenue growth was largely pass-through and did not translate into
EBITDA. Additionally, macro-economic pressures such as global trade disruptions and cost
volatility further impacted margins. Overall, while revenue performance remained strong,
these factors contributed to a year-over-year reduction in profitability.
