Auditor's review

What the board approved
- The board, at its meeting on November 3, 2026, considered and approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026.
- The statutory auditors, Joshi Apte & Co., issued Limited Review Reports on these results. For the standalone results the auditors stated that nothing came to their attention causing them to believe the statement contains any material misstatement; the conclusion is described as unmodified. A limited review gives less assurance than a full audit.

How to read this
- The update is a routine quarterly disclosure: results plus the auditors' limited review. The review conclusion is unmodified, which means the auditors did not flag a qualification.
- The results present the quarter and half year alongside the same periods a year earlier, so year-on-year comparison is possible for revenue, expenses, profit and earnings per share.
- The tax refund note describes an entitlement the company says arises from a tribunal order; the company has applied for consequential orders giving effect to it.
