Quarter Snapshot

Q1 revenue grew 23.92% YoY, driven by lead-acid segment which exceeded its 8-10% growth guidance. However, EBITDA margin compressed to 9.63% (vs 13% milestone) due to elevated lead costs and new energy segment losses. New energy revenue share fell short of the 7-8% target, raising concerns about the segment's trajectory. A positive regulatory development (APPCB closure orders revoked) removes a key operational overhang.
