Any adverse changes in the conditions affecting the tractor or construction vehicles markets can adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

8. Our EBITDA margins and PAT margins were lower than the EBITDA margins and PAT margins of our industry peers in the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and Fiscals 2024, 2023 and 2022, as disclosed in this Red Herring Prospectus, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to improve our EBITDA margins and PAT margins in comparison to our competitors or at all.
