• Krystal’s focused business model is well-positioned to capture favorable industry dynamics. It has a track record of executing large contracts and is among select companies in India to qualify for and service large, multi-location government projects. For Fiscals 2021, 2022, and 2023 and six months ended September 30, 2023, the revenue from government contracts amounted to Rs. 3,271 million, Rs. 4,051 million, Rs. 5,213 million, and Rs. 3,444 million, respectively, aggregating to 69%, 73%, 74% and 76% of its revenue from operations.

The loss of any one of its key customers, including top customers, for any reason could have an adverse effect on the business, results of operations, and financial condition of the company.
• A significant part of its revenue is generated from government contracts obtained through a competitive bidding process, which contributed almost 74% of its total revenue from operations for Fiscal 2023. There can be no assurance that it will qualify for, or it will successfully compete, and win such tenders, or maintain such customer relationships.
• Operational risks are inherent in the company’s business as it includes rendering services in diverse environments depending on customer requirements. A failure to manage such risks including any errors, defects, or disruption in its service or inability to meet expected or agreed service standards, could have an adverse impact on the business, cash flows, results of operations, and financial condition of the company.
