Flomic Global Logistics Ltd Share Price Management Discussions

Forward-Looking Statement

Certain statements in this Management Discussion and Analysis describing the Companys objectives, expectations, estimates, projections and outlook may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable laws and regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied due to various risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions, government regulations, geopolitical developments, competitive pressures and other factors beyond the Companys control.

1. GLOBAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

1.1 Macroeconomic Landscape

The global economy demonstrated moderate resilience through FY2025-26, navigating a complex backdrop of evolving trade policies, geopolitical realignments, and divergent monetary policy trajectories across major economies. Despite persistent headwinds-most notably the cascading effects of elevated US tariff regimes and lingering geopolitical uncertainty in Eastern Europe and West Asia-the world economy maintained a measured expansion trajectory.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its World Economic Outlook Update, revised global growth upward to 3.0% for 2025 and 3.1% for 2026, citing stronger-than-expected front-loading of trade activity in anticipation of higher tariffs, improvement in financial conditions, a weaker US dollar, and fiscal expansion in select major jurisdictions. The IMF noted that the global economy has shown resilience to trade policy shocks, partly because these shocks materialised on a smaller scale than initially feared, though the drag from shifting trade policies is becoming visible in more recent data.

1.2 Key Global Growth Indicators (2025-26)

Economy / Region Growth (2025) Growth (2026)
Global 3.0% 3.1%
United States 1.9% 2.3%
China 4.8% 4.4%
Euro Zone 1.3% 1.1%
Emerging Markets & Dev. Economies 4.1% 3.9%
India 6.6% 6.5%

1.3 Global Trade & Freight Market Dynamics

Global freight markets experienced significant volatility during FY2025-26. Sea freight rates, which had moderated from post-pandemic highs, remained elevated due to continued disruptions in the Red Sea corridor, necessitating rerouting via the Cape of Good Hope and adding 10-14 days to critical Asia- Europe lanes. Container shortages persisted at key transhipment hubs, creating both pricing opportunities and operational challenges for freight forwarders globally.

The global logistics market is estimated at USD 10-12 trillion, encompassing transportation, warehousing, and integrated supply chain services. Within this, the global freight forwarding market-representing a specialised segment focused on air and sea cargo movement-is estimated at USD 220-230 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a 4.5%-5% CAGR through 2030.

Asia Pacific remained the dominant regional engine, accounting to over 30% revenue share of the global freight forwarding market in 2024, with India emerging as the fastest-growing freight forwarding economy within the region. The China-plus-one supply chain strategy continued to drive incremental cargo volumes toward India, benefiting Indian logistics intermediaries.

2. INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

2.1 Growth Performance & Trajectory

Indias economic narrative in FY2025-26 has been defined by sustained domestic momentum and emerging export competitiveness. The Reserve Bank of India has projected GDP growth of 6.5% for FY2025-26 and 6.6% for FY2026-27, reflecting resilience in domestic demand despite global uncertainties.

India also achieved a landmark milestone in 2025, becoming the worlds fourth-largest economy, with projections for USD 7.3 trillion GDP by 2030.

2.2 Indias Trade & Export Performance

Indias merchandise and services exports for the eleven-month period April-February FY2025-26 reached approximately USD 790.86 billion on cumulative basis, marking a 5.79% increase over the corresponding period of the prior year (Ministry of Commerce & Industry, March 2026). Merchandise exports during April-February FY26 stood at USD 400-403, while non-petroleum exports rose 350-355 billion, up 5%. Services exports were the standout performer, reaching USD 387.93 billion-up significantly from USD 351.93 billion-yielding a services trade surplus of USD 200 billion.

Key merchandise export sectors outperforming in FY26 include engineering goods (top exported category at USD 116 billion), electronics (rising to Indias third-largest export category; exceeded INR 1 lakh crore in the early part of FY26, reflecting strong double-digit growth), pharmaceuticals (India ranked 11th-13th by value or among the top global exporters of pharmaceuticals by volume), and textiles & apparel (USD 37-38 billion in FY25 with stable growth trends continuing in FY26). These high-growth export verticals are directly cargo-generative for freight forwarders such as Flomic.

2.3 Policy Enablers

The Government of India has significantly strengthened its policy framework for trade and logistics in recent years. The National Logistics Policy (NLP), PM GatiShakti masterplan, and the dedicated freight corridor (DFC) network are expected to drive structural improvements in logistics efficiency, including reduction in transit times and costs. PM GatiShakti is trimming corridor transit times by 12-15%, while DFCs have improved rail freight transit predictability significantly.

The Export Promotion Mission (EPM), approved with a budgetary outlay of approximately INR 25,000 crore for FY26-FY31, further reinforces the export ecosystem through two pillars-Niryat Protsahan (trade finance) and Niryat Disha (logistics, warehousing, and market access)-directly benefiting logistics companies serving exporters. GST implementation and rationalisation have improved supply chain efficiency and formalisation. Indias logistics cost has historically been estimated at approximately 1314% of GDP, which remains higher than several global benchmarks. However, ongoing investments in infrastructure, multimodal connectivity, digitisation, and policy initiatives such as the National Logistics Policy (NLP) and PM GatiShakti are expected to improve supply chain efficiency and reduce logistics costs over the medium term. These structural reforms are aimed at enhancing connectivity, reducing transit times, improving asset utilisation and strengthening the overall competitiveness of Indias logistics ecosystem. The resulting efficiency gains are expected to create significant growth opportunities for organised and technology-enabled logistics service providers.

3.3 Key Industry Trends

3.3.1 Digital Transformation & Technology Adoption

The Indian freight forwarding sector is undergoing a fundamental digital shift. Al-driven routing systems, real-time tracking platforms, cloud-based ERP solutions, and blockchain-enabled documentation are replacing traditional manual workflows. Digital freight booking platforms and automated customs clearance tools are improving throughput, reducing dwell time, and enhancing customer visibility across global shipment corridors.

3.3.2 E-Commerce & Cross-Border Trade

Indias e-commerce market is expected to reach USD 200 billion by 2026 and USD 350 billion by 2030, generating a massive influx of high-frequency, low-volume international shipments. Cross-border e-commerce is creating entirely new logistics demands-including express customs processing, returns management, and direct-to-consumer fulfillment-for which specialised freight forwarders are uniquely positioned.

3.3.3 Manufacturing Export Boom & PLI Catalysis

Government PLI schemes across 14+ sectors-electronics, pharmaceuticals, auto components, textiles, specialty chemicals-are reshaping Indias export cargo mix. Electronics alone saw 55% YoY growth in smartphone exports in H1 FY26. This broadening and deepening of Indias export profile is directly volume-accretive for freight forwarders with air, sea, and multimodal capabilities.

3.3.4 Infrastructure Uplift

Indias airport infrastructure handled over 4.1 million metric tonnes of air cargo in FY2024-25, reflecting strong growth in air freight movement and increasing demand for time-sensitive logistics solutions. The operationalisation of new greenfield airports, expansion of airport cargo infrastructure, continued development of the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) network and progress under the Sagarmala programme are expected to improve multimodal connectivity, reduce transit times and enhance logistics efficiency across the country. These infrastructure investments are strengthening Indias supply chain ecosystem and creating long-term growth opportunities for integrated logistics providers such as Flomic through improved cargo handling capacity, network reach and operational efficiency.

3.3.5 India as a China-Plus-One Beneficiary

The global supply chain realignment driven by tariff geopolitics and geopolitical risk aversion has positioned India as a preferred manufacturing and export alternative. Incremental cargo flows from new manufacturing FDI in electronics, defence components, semiconductors, and engineering goods are generating secular logistics demand growth that is expected to persist over the medium-to-long term.

The system enhances visibility, improves process efficiency, supports real-time decision-making and enables scalable growth without proportional increases in operating costs.

5. BUSINESS SEGMENTS & PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

5.1 Revenue Segmentation - FY2025-26 Context

Flomics business operates across five primary revenue streams, each aligned with a distinct leg of the international logistics value chain. The Companys segment composition reflects a freight-forwarding-led model supported by complementary logistics services of high-margin, high-volume air freight operations; dominant sea freight forwarding (import and export); and a rapidly expanding warehousing vertical that is generating strong contribution margins.

5.2 Segment Analysis

5.2.1 Air Freight (Export & Import)

Air freight forwarding-comprising Air Export, Air Import CCL, and the air component of the multimodal Import FWD segment-constitutes a critical revenue driver for Flomic. The global air freight market is experiencing strong secular growth, particularly in time-sensitive cargo categories (electronics, pharmaceuticals, perishables). Indias air cargo throughput grew 14% in FY25 to 4.1 million metric tonnes, with freighters contributing 38% of throughput (Mordor Intelligence, 2026). Air freight forwarding is projected to grow at a 9-11% CAGR over 2026-2031-the fastest among all freight modes.

Flomics air export segment generated INR 6,238 lakhs in FY25-26, with a 9.05% gross margin. The combined Air & Sea Import CCL and FWD Import segments contributed INR 15,496 lakhs in revenue with blended gross margins exceeding 30.17%. Supported by demand from high-value and time- sensitive cargo segments across key trade corridors such as India-US, India-Europe, and India- Gulf, Flomics air freight volumes are expected to grow in FY26-27.

5.2.2 Sea Freight Forwarding (Export & Import)

Sea freight remains the largest volume segment for Flomic, with the Sea Export segment alone generating INR 13,918 lakhs in FY25-26. Indias container export growth, driven by manufacturing PLI beneficiaries and China-plus-one trade diversification, underpins continued volume growth. The Companys multi-port presence-covering Mumbai (JNPT), Chennai, Mundra, Kolkata, Nhava Sheva, and other key ports-enables it to originate export cargo from the widest possible geographic catchment. Sea freight forwarding (sea and inland waterways) held a 50-55% share of Indias freight forwarding market in 2025, reflecting the modes dominance in bulk, break-bulk, and containerised trade.

The FY26-27 environment presents both opportunity and challenge in sea freight. Capacity constraints and disruptions in certain global trade lanes have created pricing opportunities, as forwarders with established carrier relationships can secure allocations and command premiums. Flomics longstanding relationships with global shipping lines and its membership in WCA and Prolog networks provide meaningful allocation leverage.

5.2.3 Warehousing & 3PL/4PL Services

Warehouse has generated INR 7521 Lakhs revenue in FY 25-26. This reflects the inherent value-capture potential of asset-based, recurring-revenue logistics services. The Companys 30+ warehousing facilities ( 13.8 lakh sq. ft.) spanning major logistics corridors provide the geographic depth to serve leading FMCG, automotive, pharmaceutical, and industrial manufacturing clients seeking contract logistics solutions.

Indias warehousing sector is undergoing a structural upgrade, driven by formalisation (GST-driven consolidation), e-commerce growth, and demand for Grade-A, technology-enabled facilities. Nontemperature-controlled warehousing dominates at 85-90% capacity, but temperature-controlled is the fastest-growing at 10-11% CAGR through 2031. Flomics selective addition of temperature- controlled capabilities-particularly for pharma clients-represents a significant FY26 and beyond growth opportunity.

5.2.4 Break Bulk & Project Cargo

Break bulk and project cargo represent an emerging strategic priority for Flomic. Management has explicitly guided for increased volumes in these segments in FY26, backed by targeted senior staffing additions in sales and operations. Project cargo-encompassing heavy machinery, industrial equipment, and infrastructure components-is growing in India with accelerating public infrastructure investment under the National Infrastructure Pipeline. This segment is aligned with increasing infrastructure spending and industrial capex in India, offering a strong medium-term growth opportunity. This segment commands premium freight rates and higher service margins, making it a structurally attractive adjacency.

5.2.5 Exhibition & Event Logistics

Flomics dedicated Events Logistics Office at CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai, underscores the Companys specialisation in the high-complexity, time-critical exhibition and events logistics segment. Indias MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry is recovering strongly postpandemic, with trade shows, infrastructure expos, and B2B exhibitions creating recurring demand for specialised logistics services that few generalist forwarders can confidently execute.

Return on Equity (ROE), Net Profit Ratio and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) declined during FY2025-26 primarily due to a significant reduction in profitability arising from lower freight volumes, pricing pressures and a challenging operating environment. The improvement in Debt-Equity Ratio was attributable to reduction in borrowings and improved capital structure management during the year.

6.4 Working Capital Efficiency

During FY26, the Company continued to strengthen its working capital profile through focused collection initiatives and tighter receivables management. Total receivables reduced from Rs6728 lakhs to Rs5296 lakhs, while receivables outstanding beyond 60 days declined by 43.2%. These initiatives improved cash flow quality, reduced capital tied up in working capital and enhanced overall capital efficiency. This remains an important focus area going forward.

7. OPPORTUNITIES & GROWTH DRIVERS

7.1 Structural Macro-Tailwinds

Flomic is well positioned to benefit from several structural growth drivers shaping Indias logistics and supply chain ecosystem. The convergence of Indias manufacturing growth supported by Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, ongoing supply chain diversification initiatives, an expanding export base across sectors such as electronics, pharmaceuticals and engineering goods, and continued investments in logistics infrastructure is creating a favourable demand environment for organised and integrated logistics service providers over the medium term.

Government initiatives such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, National Logistics Policy, PM GatiShakti and Dedicated Freight Corridors are expected to enhance supply chain efficiency and support higher freight movement across the country.

Flomic is well positioned to benefit from these opportunities through its integrated logistics platform, diversified service offerings, pan-India network and strong global partnerships. The Company continues to focus on strengthening its presence in value-added segments such as warehousing, project logistics, break bulk cargo and specialised logistics solutions, which offer opportunities for improved margins and deeper customer engagement.

The growing trend of supply chain diversification and increasing participation of Indian manufacturers in global trade is expected to create sustained demand for freight forwarding and integrated logistics services. In addition, increasing adoption of technology, formalisation of the logistics sector and rising outsourcing of supply chain functions are expected to support long-term growth opportunities for organised logistics players.

7.3 E-Commerce & Digital Logistics

Indias e-commerce market is expected to continue witnessing strong growth, supported by increasing internet penetration, digital adoption and rising consumer demand. The proliferation of D2C brands, crossborder marketplace sellers and platform-driven exports is creating new logistics requirements characterised by high shipment frequency, shorter delivery timelines and greater supply chain complexity. Flomics air freight forwarding capabilities, customs brokerage expertise and pan-India network position the Company well to participate in this growing segment.

7.4 Infrastructure Dividend

The ongoing operationalisation of Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs), expansion of airport infrastructure, growth in multimodal logistics facilities and continued investments under programmes such as PM GatiShakti and Sagarmala are expected to improve logistics efficiency across the country. These initiatives are likely to reduce transit times, enhance connectivity and create new trade corridors, thereby expanding opportunities for integrated logistics service providers.

7.5 Strategic Partnerships & Network Expansion

Flomics membership in international logistics networks such as WCA, JCTrans and Prolog provides access to a broad global partner ecosystem across multiple countries. These relationships strengthen the Companys ability to offer seamless logistics solutions across international trade corridors while enhancing service capabilities, operational flexibility and customer reach.

7.6 Warehousing & Integrated Logistics

The increasing formalisation of supply chains and growing demand for integrated logistics solutions continue to create significant opportunities in the warehousing and contract logistics segment. With a warehousing footprint of approximately 13.8 lakh sq. ft. across India, the Company is well positioned to support customers seeking end-to-end logistics solutions while increasing the contribution of value-added services within its overall business mix.

10. HUMAN RESOURCES & INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

At Flomic Global Logistics Limited, our employees are a key driver of the Companys success and long-term growth. Their commitment, expertise and dedication have enabled the Company to effectively navigate a dynamic business environment marked by economic volatility and evolving market conditions.

The logistics industry continues to require skilled professionals capable of managing increasingly complex supply chains and customer requirements. In this context, attracting, developing and retaining talent remains a strategic priority for the Company. Flomic continues to invest in employee training, skill enhancement, leadership development and performance-driven initiatives to strengthen organisational capabilities and support future growth.

The Company remains committed to fostering a positive and inclusive work environment that encourages collaboration, innovation and professional development. Through employee engagement, recognition and career growth opportunities, the Company seeks to maximise individual potential while aligning employee aspirations with organisational objectives.

11. INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

Industrial relations at Flomic remained harmonious, cordial, and satisfactory throughout FY2025-26. There were no material labour disputes, strikes, or work stoppages during the year. The Company maintains an environment of mutual respect, transparent communication, and participative management that has consistently yielded stable employer-employee relations-an important operational risk mitigant in a service-centric business.

12. DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Flomic is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the geographic and cultural breadth of the markets it serves. The Companys multi-city, multi-region branch network inherently creates a diverse workforce. The Company is focused on creating equal opportunities for all employees, promoting gender diversity in professional and leadership roles, and fostering an environment in which every individual can realise their full potential.

13. SCOT ANALYSIS

13.1 Strengths

- Direct Sales Model: Flomic engages directly with exporters and importers, adding approximately 60 new customers every month. This direct-to-client approach yields better revenue quality, stronger relationships, and higher net margins compared to sub-agent models, and insulates the Company from intermediary margin leakage.

- Established Global Agent Network: Long-standing membership in WCA, JCTrans, and Prolog Network provides access to a trusted global logistics partner ecosystem spanning 150+ countries, enabling competitive pricing, co-loading opportunities, and service continuity on international trade lanes.

- Deep Domain Expertise: Four-plus decades of operations have endowed Flomic with unmatched knowledge of Indian customs processes, international trade regulations, and multimodal logistics management-a barrier that is difficult to replicate for newer entrants.

- Technology-Enabled Operations: Cloud-based ERP and cargo tracking systems enhance operational efficiency, customer service quality, and management oversight. The Companys digital infrastructure is a meaningful competitive differentiator relative to less-digitised regional operators.

- Comprehensive Service Portfolio & Pan-India Network: Air, sea, road, warehousing, 3PL, 4PL, break bulk, project cargo, and exhibition logistics-all under one roof-across 30 office locations covering every major Indian gateway port, providing a genuine One-Stop Gateway proposition.

- Customer Loyalty & Retention: Strong customer relationships built on reliability, responsiveness, and trust create high switching costs and recurring revenue foundations.

13.2 Challenges

- Margin Expansion Imperative: Net profit margins at 0.07% reflect the capital-intensive, cost- competitive nature of freight forwarding. Expanding margins requires a disciplined shift toward higher-value services (warehousing, break bulk, project cargo) and operating leverage on the existing branch infrastructure.

- Scalability Constraints: Rapid demand spikes can stress operational bandwidth, staffing, and IT infrastructure. Investing ahead of demand in systems and people is essential to sustaining growth quality.

- Regulatory Adaptability: Navigating rapidly evolving customs regulations, GST amendments, IATA compliance changes, and international trade treaty modifications requires constant regulatory vigilance and agile operational adjustments.

13.3 Opportunities

- E-Commerce & Cross-Border Trade Growth: Indias e-commerce market, targeting USD 200 billion by 2026, is generating an exponential increase in high-frequency, international freight forwarding demand.

- Emerging Market Expansion: Growing trade flows with Africa, Southeast Asia, and ASEAN markets offer new corridors and new customer segments for Flomics international freight capabilities.

- Break Bulk & Project Cargo Scaling: Indias National Infrastructure Pipeline, defence modernisation, and industrial capex investments are driving significant project cargo demand that rewards specialised, experienced forwarders.

- Strategic Partnerships: Alliance opportunities with complementary logistics providers-customs brokers, last-mile specialists, digital freight platforms-can extend service reach and enhance competitive positioning.

13.4 Threats

- Competitive Intensity: The Indian freight forwarding market is increasingly contested by tech- enabled startups (digital freight platforms), large MNC forwarders (DHL, Kuehne+Nagel, CEVA- which expanded to 70 facilities in 21 Indian cities in May 2025), and domestic full-service operators. Differentiation, service quality, and customer intimacy are critical defensive moats.

- Geopolitical & Trade Policy Uncertainty: Changes in trade policies, including tariff measures imposed by major economies such as the United States, together with Red Sea disruptions and broader geopolitical volatility, may impact global trade flows, supply chains and freight demand. Such developments can lead to route disruptions, increased logistics costs, shipment delays and uncertainty in customer demand, particularly in export-oriented sectors such as textiles, footwear, engineering goods and marine products.

- Economic Cycle Risk: While Indias FY26 growth outlook is strong, a synchronised global slowdown could reduce trade volumes and put downward pressure on freight rates, impacting revenues.

- Supply Chain Disruption Risk: Natural disasters, pandemics, port congestion events, or carrier capacity withdrawals can cause sudden, material disruptions to logistics networks, requiring operational agility and contingency capabilities.

Flomics growth strategy is centred on strengthening its position as an integrated, asset-light logistics solutions provider, with a continued focus on margin expansion and service diversification.
