Headline numbers from the latest earnings call
Revenue
₹183.6 Cr
Why: Growth was supported by healthy order inflow in the electrical and electronic instrumentation segment, though overall revenue was below internal expectations.
Consolidated revenue growth was muted at 1.3% YoY, primarily due to a 29.1% decline in the high-pressure die-casting segment.
EBITDA
₹31.4 Cr
Why: Profitability improved due to better raw material sourcing, enhanced operational efficiencies, and a more favorable product mix.
EBITDA margins expanded significantly despite a ₹3.9 Cr provision for ESOP costs and new labor code implementation.
PAT
₹20.5 Cr
Why: The sharp YoY increase was driven by significant margin expansion in the core electronics business and narrowing losses in the Alucast segment.
PAT growth of 162% YoY reflects the impact of cost optimization and operational leverage playing out.
