Quarter Snapshot

Revenue and PAT grew 68% and 112% YoY respectively, tracking close to FY27 guidance. However, operating EBITDA margin of 10.17% fell short of the 10.5% lower end of management's guided range.

Key Investment Insights

Key Positives

• Revenue grew 68.3% YoY to Rs.1,588.62 Cr, annualized run-rate of Rs.6,354 Cr implying ~32% growth vs FY26, tracking close to 35% guidance.
• PAT grew 111.7% YoY to Rs.105.69 Cr, with no exceptional items.
• Operating EBITDA grew 68.8% YoY, well above the 30% absolute growth guidance.
• Elcome Integrated Systems (defence) acquired for Rs.235 Cr, adding a new vertical.
• Kaga Electronics JV (60:40) signed to target Japanese clients, expanding market reach.

Risk Factors

• Operating EBITDA margin of 10.17% fell short of the 10.5% lower end of management's FY27 guidance range of 10.5-11%.
• Large inventory build of Rs.203.91 Cr (negative change in inventories) absorbing cash, raising working capital questions.
• Absence of forex gain (nil vs Rs.9.11 Cr in Q1 FY26) removed a tailwind that had aided prior year earnings.
