Management Commentary

Regarding results, Mr. Deepak Jalan, Managing Director of Linc Limited, said that “The quarter held firm, resulting in moderate topline growth and continued profitability. He said that although our topline growth has been moderate, we have maintained stable underlying profitability, which reflects the resilience of our business model. Early consumer response to our SWYPE marker range and Pentonic mechanical pencil has been encouraging. Therefore, we expect a meaningful and valuable contribution from these product lines in the coming quarter”.

He further explained that the joint ventures and global partnerships of the firm have been lagging behind schedule and have experienced some major developments in the recent past, and these are:

• Mitsubishi Pencil Co. (Japan): Started operating in Oct-25 with the launch of a 20-ball pen priced at 20 in the Indian and ASEAN markets.
• Morris (Korea): Related to the launch of the Bengal factory, which will continue to be active in Q4 FY26.
• Turkish and Kenyan Subsidiaries: Making considerable achievements in the processes of operation.

Strategic Outlook

The category expansion and international relations remain the primary themes of sustainable development that Linc pays attention to. The company also has ambitions of enhancing its performance through launching new products in the short term. It will also benefit in terms of the international joint ventures that will begin over the next few quarters.
