("Statement"), attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33
of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the "Listing
Regulations").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Statement:

i. is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and
11. gives a true and fair view in conformity with the applicable accounting standards and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net profit and other comprehensive loss and
other financial information of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and for the year
ended March 31, 2025 .

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of
the Companies Act, 2013 , as amended (''the Act"). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described
in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results" section of our report. We are
independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements
under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Management's Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results

The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements. The Board of
Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true
and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive loss of the Company and other financial information in
accordance with the applicable accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant
rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with
Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting
records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for
preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting
policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a
true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis
of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Statement.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing
our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial
statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor' s report to the
related disclosures in the financial results or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and
whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Other Matter

The Statement includes the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 being the balancing figure between the
audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31, 2025 and the published unaudited/ year-to-
date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year, which were subjected to a limited review by us,
as required under the Listing Regulations.

fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We
believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and other auditor in terms of their reports referred to in "Other
Matter" paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Management's Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results

The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements. The Holding
Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a
true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive loss and other financial information of the Holding
Company and its Associate in accordance with the applicable accounting standards prescribed under section 133
of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India
and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The respective Board of Directors of the Holding
Company and its Associate are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with
the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of their respective companies and for preventing and
detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making
judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of

adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness
of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement that give a true and fair
view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose
of preparation of the Statement by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company and its Associate are
responsible for assessing the ability of their respective companies to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management
either intends to liquidate the Holding Company and its Associate or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company and its Associate are also responsible for overseeing
the financial reporting process of their respective companies.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Statement.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act,
we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Holding company has adequate internal
financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Holding Company and its Associate to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Statement or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the
date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Holding Company and
its Associate to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and
whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the Holding Company
of which we are the independent auditor to express an opinion on the Statement.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company of which we are the independent
auditor regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit :findings,
including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Advancing amidst volatility


Nestlé India delivers highest ever domestic sales this quarter
The Board of Directors of Nestlé India today approved the financial results (standalone and
consolidated) for the fourth quarter and financial year ended 31st March 2025. Details of the
standalone results are below:
Commenting on the results, Mr. Suresh Narayanan, Chairman and Managing Director of
Nestlé India stated, “I am pleased to report that this quarter we witnessed double-digit growth
in Beverages and Confectionery, with 3 out of 4 product groups delivering healthy growth. Our
domestic sales crossed INR 5,235 crore mark, the highest ever in any quarter supported by
improving volume growth. My heartfelt appreciation to my colleagues in our offices, factories and
salesforce for their resolve and abiding teamwork in navigating external challenges.
During the financial year ended 31st March 2025, Powdered and Liquid Beverages was the
largest growth contributor, with high double-digit growth. NESCAFÉ strengthened its leadership
position by gaining market share and bringing more than 5.1 million households into the coffee
category. NESCAFÉ Ready-to-Drink cold coffee range, one of the fastest growing segments
globally, expanded its new range to India this year. Driven by cold coffee consumption among
Gen Z and Millennials, it is creating entirely new coffee-drinking occasions.
Confectionery grew at a high single-digit pace both in value and volume driven by KITKAT. India
is the second largest market for the brand globally. Prepared Dishes and Cooking Aids posted
mid-single-digit growth with MAGGI returning to volume growth and MAGGI Masala-Ae-Magic
consistently demonstrating good growth. India continued to be the largest market worldwide for
MAGGI.
Milk Products and Nutrition was backed by launches. By reinforcing our commitment to offer
nutritious choices to consumers through meaningful innovations, we achieved our ambition of
introducing new CERELAC variants with no refined sugar. CEREGROW variant with no refined
sugar too was launched this financial year and the early response is encouraging.

The Petcare business reported high double-digit growth – the highest ever, since its integration
into the Nestlé India business. PURINA FELIX and FRISKIES cat food brands achieved high
growth. PURINA PRO PLAN dog food continued to be well-received by pet owners.

Out-of-Home (OOH) business delivered strong double-digit growth and is emerging as one of
our fastest growing businesses. I am delighted to announce the OOH business has forayed into
the ‘cocoa-based spreads category’ with the launch of KITKAT® Professional Spread that can be
used by chefs to incorporate KITKAT’s signature taste and texture in hot and cold dessert.

I am happy to share that the opening of NESPRESSO’s first boutique in India in New Delhi last
month, has resonated exceptionally well with coffee connoisseurs.

1/3
Penetration, premiumization and innovation combined with disciplined resource allocation have
been key in driving growth. Since 2015 we have recalibrated and re-energised our product
portfolio, by launching over 150+ new products contributing 7% of sales.
To serve our consumers we have an omni-channel approach, and this implies that our brands
are available at locations and channels that are most convenient for consumers. One such
channel is e-commerce, which continued in its growth trajectory, propelled by the rapid
expansion of Quick Commerce, contributing to 8.5% of domestic sales, in this financial year
ended 31st March 2025.
I am pleased to share that we remain committed in our RUrban journey. We have strengthened
our route to market through a comprehensive RUrban strategy focused on five key pillars:
Infrastructure, Product Portfolio, Visibility, Consumer Connect, and Technology. Our RUrban
distribution touchpoints have increased to 27,730. We are present in approximately 208,500
villages. RUrban smart stores and HAAT activities in village markets have been enhanced and
use and interventions with technology accelerated.
We are investing approximately INR 6,500 crore between 2020 and 2025 to develop new
capabilities and capacity. This not only demonstrates the strong demand for our products but
also our commitment to manufacture in India and 'Make in India'., The Odisha factory, our
10th citadel of growth, is being set up with an initial investment of approximately INR 900 crore,
in its first phase, to manufacture products from our foods (Prepared Dishes and Cooking Aids)
portfolio.
The spectre of climate change is rapidly intensifying, demanding swift action. We have increased
our reliance on renewable energy, implemented sustainable logistics practices, minimized waste.
We continue to promote circular economy and have transitioned to sustainable packaging. Our
supply chain resilience is being strengthened. Through regenerative agricultural practices
greenhouse gas emissions are being reduced. We work closely with farmers and suppliers to
source raw materials responsibly. One noteworthy endeavor in environmental sustainability is
our proprietary technology called ‘Zer'Eau’ in Moga and Samalkha factories. Here water
extracted from milk is recycled to reduce groundwater consumption every year by around 20%.
In line with our commitment to society, we have positively impacted the lives of over 16 million
beneficiaries through initiatives that align with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. These
include rural development, education, nutrition awareness, environmental initiatives, livelihood
enhancement, feeding support programs, and water and sanitation improvements.
Commitment and collaboration are key pillars of our business. I would like to express my
gratitude to our partners, suppliers, retailers and distributors for their trust and faith.
