The increase in vegetable seeds is due to increase in the sales of Tomato (Rs 179.51 lakhs), Watermelon (Rs 176.05 lakhs), Onion (Rs 106.21 lakhs), Peas (Rs 96.56 lakhs), etc.

2. Field Crop Seeds: The sales of the field crop seeds have declined from Rs 1,207.08 lakhs in FY 2024 to Rs 934.25 lakhs in FY 2025. The decline is majorly due to decrease in the sales of maize by Rs 192.63 lakhs in FY 2025.

Other Income:

Overall, total expense of the company has decreased slightly from Rs 5,817 lakhs, comprising 95.13% of total income, in FY 2024 to Rs 6,336.15 lakhs, leading to 91.73% of the total income, in FY 2025.

Employee benefits expense:

The employee benefit expense of the company has slightly decreased from Rs 1,083.70 lakhs in FY 2024 to Rs 1,026.57 lakhs in FY 2025. However, if we compare the same with the sales, it is 17.72% and 14.86% of the total income in FY 2024 and FY 2025 respectively. The employee benefit expenses can be further bifurcated as follows:

(Amount in lakhs)

Particulars FY 2025 FY 2024

Incentives 1.00 156.47
Contributions to Provident and other funds 31.48 29.66

Perquisites to Directors 0.66 4.86
Total 1,026.57 1,083.70

The companys salary expenses increased from Rs 882.07 lakhs in FY 2024 to Rs 977.27 lakhs in FY 2025, reflecting a rise in fixed compensation for employees. On the other hand, the incentives paid to employees saw a sharp decline, dropping from Rs

156.47 lakhs in FY 2024 to only Rs 1.00 lakh in FY 2025. This significant reduction was due to the company implementing a stricter incentive policy. As a result of the lower incentive payouts, the total employee benefit expense of the company decreased overall, despite the increase in base salaries.

Finance costs:

The companys finance cost has remained relatively stable, amounting to Rs 72.39 lakhs in FY 2024, representing 1.18% of total income, and Rs 71.12 lakhs in FY 2025, accounting for 1.03% of total income. The decrease in the percentage of expense against total income is due to sales growth of ~12.98% in FY 2025.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses:

The companys depreciation and amortization expense has increased from FY 2024 to FY 2025, standing at Rs 36.32 lakhs (0.59% of total income) in FY 2024 and Rs 69.63 lakhs (1.01% of total income) in FY 2025. There is an increase in depreciation and amortization expense due to acquisition of the assets like plant & machinery, vehicles, furniture and fixture, etc. leading to higher depreciation cost in the year.

Other expense:

The Companys other expenses have marginally decreased from 38.93% of total income, i.e., Rs 2,380.68 lakhs in FY 2024, to 37.70% of total income, i.e., Rs 2,604.21 lakhs in FY 2025.

The decrease is mainly due to reduction in discount expenses, which decreased from Rs 1,082.57 lakhs, representing 17.70% of total income in FY 2024, to Rs 1,060.98 lakhs, representing 15.36% of total income in FY 2025. This decrease was the result of a change in the Companys discount policy during the year, whereby comparatively lower discounts were offered to customers. The revision in policy enabled the Company to exercise better control over its discount-related outflows.

As a result, the Company was able to contain its other expenses more effectively, thereby contributing to improved cost efficiency and enhanced profitability during the year under review.

Restated Profit/ (Loss) before tax:

The profit before tax of the company has increased from Rs 298.15 lakhs, marking 4.87% of the total income in FY 2024 to Rs 571.61 lakhs, representing 8.27% of the total income, in FY 2025.

However, as a proportion of total income, it declined from 18.33% to 17.72%, primarily due to the Companys revenue growing by ~30% during FY 2024. This indicates that employee costs have been effectively managed in relation to revenue growth.

2. Finance Cost: Finance costs remained nearly constant at Rs 72.39 lakhs in FY 2024 compared to Rs 73.15 lakhs in FY 2023. When measured against total income, finance costs declined from 1.56% in FY 2023 to 1.18% in FY 2024, reflecting better cost absorption on account of higher sales.

4. Other Expense: Other expenses rose from Rs 1,938.66 lakhs in FY 2023 to Rs 2,380.68 lakhs in FY 2024, broadly in line with the increase in sales from Rs 4,691.15 lakhs to Rs 6,113.88 lakhs (~30% YoY growth).

CHANGES IN THE ASSETS FROM FINANCIAL YEAR 2023 TO FINANCIAL YEAR 2025

Long Term Borrowing

The companys long-term borrowings have shown a steady increase, rising from Rs 50.41 lakhs in FY 2023 to Rs 162.57 lakhs in FY 2024, and further to Rs 305.73 lakhs in FY 2025. This upward trend in borrowings is in line with the companys growing revenue base and its planned capital expenditure, aimed at supporting business expansion.

In FY 2025, the additional borrowings were availed for setting up a dedicated seed processing unit, which is expected to strengthen the companys operational capacity and efficiency. Apart from this, the remaining borrowings primarily consist of multiple vehicle loans taken by the company to support its logistics and distribution requirements.

Short Term Borrowing

Short term borrowings of the company have decreased from Rs 531.05 lakhs in FY 2023 to Rs 448.75 lakhs in FY 2024, which further increased to Rs 884.45 lakhs in FY 2025. The short term borrowings basically include the working capital limit and the current maturities of long term borrowing.

Current Maturities of long-term debts 65.46 40.85 58.83
Total Borrowings 884.45 448.75 531.05

The rise in short-term borrowings in FY 2025 is aligned with the Companys expanding revenue base and the consequent increase in working capital requirements. To ensure uninterrupted supply and meet expected demand, the Company must maintain higher inventory levels for upcoming seasons, which required the Company to depend more on short-term borrowings.

Additionally, there was a shift in the banker to the company: The Company moved its borrowings in during the financial year ending 2025 from Karnataka Bank to Federal Bank. This shows a change in banking arrangements to better meet the Companys working capital needs.

Trade payable days stood at 133 days in FY 2023, before improving to 106 days in FY 2024. In FY 2025, payable days increased to 155 days, as the company strategically utilized extended credit from suppliers to support its expanding operations, manage its production cycle, and maintain adequate inventory levels during a high-growth phase. This approach enabled the company to channel available funds toward scaling up operations while ensuring business continuity.

Inventory

The inventory of the company has decreased from Rs 1,541.52 lakhs in FY 2023 to Rs 1,495.48 lakhs in FY 2024, which further increased to Rs 1,977.19 lakhs in FY 2025. However, the days of the inventory can be seen improving YOY basis as follows:

The company maintains relatively high inventory levels to ensure adequate seed availability for the upcoming season. Its operations involve developing hybrid seeds, which are then supplied to farmers for large-scale cultivation. Depending on the seed variety, cultivation takes place during the kharif or rabi season to prepare for distribution in the following cycle. Once harvested, the seeds undergo quality testing, sorting, and packaging. As a result, the company holds inventory for about 6 8 months to ensure timely distribution.

Inventory days have shown fluctuations over the years, standing at 362 days in FY 2023, improving to 241 days in FY 2024, and further reducing to 199 days in FY 2025. To further optimize working capital, the company aims to streamline its hybrid seed production and quality testing processes, thereby improving overall inventory management.

Trade Receivable

The initial improvement indicates better collection efficiency, while the increase in FY 2025 is mainly due to the company being in a growth phase, during which higher sales and expanding customer base temporarily extended the time needed to collect receivables.

Short Term Loans and Advances

Short term loans and advances of the company comprise the following:

(Amount in lakhs)

Particulars FY 2025 FY 2024 FY 2023

Accrued Expense 24.97 - -

Total short-term loans and advances increased from Rs 149.67 lakhs in FY 2023 to Rs 433.58 lakhs in FY 2025, mainly driven by higher advances to suppliers (Rs 259.21 lakhs in FY 2025) and increased balances with revenue authorities (Rs 108.31 lakhs in FY 2025). This rise is directly linked to the Companys revenue growth and reflects higher working capital deployment to support expanding operations.
