M & B Engineering reported a 22.5% year-on-year rise in consolidated revenue to ₹291.10 crore for Q1FY27, supported by robust execution across its Phenix and Proflex divisions. Net profit after tax (PAT) grew 20.8% to ₹21.90 crore, while EBITDA expanded modestly by 6.2% to ₹35.76 crore. The company’s order book surged 24.9% year-on-year to ₹1,053 crore as of June 30, 2026, providing strong revenue visibility amid rising infrastructure spending. Export momentum strengthened significantly, with export revenues reaching ₹28 crore during the quarter.

Financial Performance in Q1FY27

The company’s top-line growth was driven by strong domestic orders and a substantial increase in export revenue, which rose to ₹28.20 crore from ₹2.99 crore in the prior-year quarter. Total income stood at ₹296.18 crore. While revenue growth outpaced cost inflation, EBITDA margin contracted to 12.3% from 14.2% in Q1FY26, reflecting higher material costs and operational expenses associated with scaling production. Finance costs decreased to ₹2.80 crore from ₹5.68 crore year-ago, contributing to the bottom-line improvement. Profit before tax grew 19.8% to ₹29.27 crore.

Order Book and Operational Updates

As of June 30, 2026, the company’s total orders on hand stood at ₹1,053 crore, up 24.9% year-on-year. The Phenix division accounted for ₹837 crore (79.5% of the order book), while the Proflex division held ₹216 crore (20.5%). Export orders constituted ₹278 crore of the total order book, highlighting successful international market penetration. M & B Engineering incurred capital expenditure of ₹27 crore in Q1FY27, primarily for commissioning two mobile manufacturing units for the Proflex division, bringing the total fleet to 17 units.

Capacity Expansion and Strategic Initiatives

The Board approved a ₹30 crore investment to add 10,000 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) of heavy structural steel capacity at the Sanand facility, increasing total capacity from 12,000 MTPA to 22,000 MTPA. This expansion is expected to be operational by Q1FY28, positioning the company to capture opportunities in data center and high-rise construction sectors. Additionally, the company plans to commence a brownfield expansion at its Cheyyar plant, adding 20,000 TPA of PEB capacity, with completion targeted for Q3FY28. Upon completion, total combined capacity will reach 1,54,000 tonnes per annum.

Management Commentary

Malav Patel, Joint Managing Director, stated that the robust order book reflects sustained demand across key end-user industries. He noted that the recent AISC certification for the Cheyyar facility enhances the company’s ability to serve international markets. Patel expressed confidence in delivering revenue growth of over 25% in FY27, backed by expanding capacities and favorable industry tailwinds.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue growth (22.5%) and EBITDA growth (6.2%) indicates margin pressure in the current quarter, likely due to input cost volatility or mix shifts toward lower-margin segments. However, the significant reduction in finance costs and the strategic capacity expansions suggest management is leveraging recent IPO proceeds to scale operations aggressively. The surge in export revenue and orders highlights successful international market penetration, diversifying revenue streams beyond the domestic market.
