We are particularly encouraged by the performance of Kraus, which has delivered robust sales growth alongside strong EBITDA margins. We have continued to maintain healthy profitability in Q2 with both EBITDA and PAT registering a year-on-year growth of 12% and 15%, respectively. This performance reflects the resilience of our business model and our continued focus on impeccable execution.

We believe our strong balance sheet provides us with a solid foundation to navigate the evolving market environment and makes us confident to deliver sustainable, profitable growth.”
