GRAPH OF THE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (STANDALONE) FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS

fan assemblies catering to refrigeration, HVAC, and appliance industries. The
Company's product portfolio includes AC axial fans, DC brushless
(BLDC) fans, shaded-pole motors and Large Axial Fans, along with customized solutions for

in-house manufacturing capabilities, combined with a focus on product innovation and
quality compliance, enable the Company to address the needs of diverse
applicationsfrom cold-chain and food storage to ventilation and consumer appliances
while maintaining flexibility to adapt to evolving industry trends.
FINANCIAL REVIEW:
Your Board of Directors is delighted to report that Rexnord Electronics
and
Controls Ltd. have delivered a reasonably good financial performance
during the year under review. Profit before Tax of the Company has decreased by 32.54%
from previous year, mainly because of increase of employee costs, finance costs,
depreciation and amortization expenses.
On Standalone Basis: Your Company achieved a Total Revenue of `
11004.39 lakhs as against ` 9762.16 lakhs in the previous Year. The total expenditure
during the Year under review was ` 10281.43 lakhs as against ` 8748.44 lakhs in the
previous Year. The Profit before tax was ` 683.86 lakhs as against `1013.72 lakhs
in the previous year and the Net Profit after tax was` 506.88 lakhs as against `
750.86 lakhs in the previous Year.
On Consolidated Basis: Your Company achieved a Total Revenue of
`11000.71 lakhs as against ` 9758.39 lakhs in the previous Year. The total expenditure
during the Year under review was ` 10285.49 lakhs as against ` 8752.10 lakhs in the
previous Year. The Profit before tax was` 676.12 lakhs as against ` 1006.29 lakhs
in the previous year and the Net Profit after tax was` 499.14 lakhs as against `
743.43 lakhs in the previous year.
This achievement underscores Rexnord's ability to generate
sustainable value for the stakeholders of the Company. Despite the challenges posed by the
global economic landscape, Rexnord has maintained strong profitability and liquidity,
ensuring sustainable growth and resilience in financial performance of the
Company.
FUTURE OUTLOOK:
Looking ahead, demand for AC axial fans, DC brushless (BLDC/EC)
fans, and shaded-pole motors remains constructive across refrigeration, HVAC, and
appliance end-markets relevant to Rexnord. AC axial fans should benefit from cold-chain
expansion, supermarket display cases, condensers/evaporators, and light industrial
ventilation, with a premium on low noise, higher static pressure, and corrosion-resistant
builds. DC brushless fans are set for the fastest growth as OEMs chase energy savings a
refrigerant transitions; this favours Rexnord's BLDC designs with integrated drivers,
smart control readiness, and high-efficiency aerodynamics supporting both domestic OEM
partnerships and export SKUs.
Shaded-pole motors will remain a resilient value segment in bottle
coolers, small refrigerators, and merchandisers, where cost, robustness, and
serviceability matter; however, we anticipate gradual mix-shift toward BLDC in larger
platforms.
1. Technological Advancements and Innovation: Technological
advancements in AC axial fans, DC brushless fans, and shaded-pole motors are largely
driven by the industry's focus on higher energy efficiency, lower noise, and longer
service life. Manufacturers are adopting improved designs and materials to enhance
performance, ensure reliability in diverse operating conditions, and meet evolving
regulatory standards. There is also a growing shift towards compact, lightweight, and
environmentally friendly solutions, supporting sustainability goals and aligning with both
domestic and global market expectations.
2. Sustainability and Environmental Regulations: The
industry continues to place strong emphasis on sustainability and adherence to
environmental regulations. Global initiatives, such as the phasedown of high-GWP
refrigerants under the Kigali Amendment, and domestic policies promoting energy-efficient
appliances, are shaping product development and manufacturing practices. There is a
growing demand for components that consume less energy, generate lower emissions, and use
eco-friendly materials, ensuring compliance with stringent efficiency norms and
environmental standards. By aligning its products with these requirements, the Company is
well-positioned to contribute to a greener future while meeting customer and regulatory
expectations in both domestic and export markets.
In conclusion, the future outlook for the industrial fans and
refrigeration industry is promising, characterized by technological innovation,
sustainability initiatives, global expansion, and resilience in the face of challenges.
Rexnord Electronics and Controls Ltd. is well-equipped to capitalize on these
opportunities, driven by its commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction.
As the Company embark on this journey of growth and transformation, your Board of
Directors remain focused on creating sustainable value for the stakeholders of the Company
while contributing positively to the industries we serve.
