The following table presents the key financial highlights for the year and the latest quarter:

Q4 EBITDA Performance

The quarter's operational profitability reflected a sharp year-on-year decline, as summarised below:

Management Commentary

Addressing the softer Q4 performance, Chairman & Managing Director Alay J. Shah noted that the year closed with two distinct macro and geopolitical developments that temporarily weighed on order intake and dispatches. On the export front, uncertainty around US tariff policy during the preceding quarters moderated order intake from US customers in Q3. While order inflows recovered in Q4, dispatches during the quarter remained slow given the lower order intake in Q3 and interim tariff policy uncertainty. With subsequent policy amendments and a robust demand outlook from US customers, both order intake and deliveries have picked up notably in Q1 FY27. Additionally, a significant volume of Q4 shipments scheduled for delivery to Middle East customers in March 2026 could not be dispatched due to the crisis in West Asia and resulting logistical disruptions. These shipments have been deferred, not cancelled, and dispatches to the region resumed in April. On the domestic front, demand has remained firm, particularly in the context of record renewable energy commissioning of ~55 GW in FY26.

FY27 Guidance and Capacity Outlook

During the post-results conference call, management provided detailed guidance for FY27 and beyond. For FY27, the existing 7,500 MVA capacity is expected to run at almost full utilisation, targeting 7,000 MVA in volume and 90-95% utilisation. The company targets INR800 crore in revenue for FY27, with confidence in potentially reaching INR850 crore to INR900 crore. Management also expects to maintain or increase EBITDA margins in FY27, aiming for similar levels as past years in the range of 29-31%. The Gavasad Expansion No. 3, adding 6,500 MVA to reach 14,000 MVA total capacity, remains on track for commissioning in April 2027, funded by INR120 crore from internal accruals. The new facility will enable production of transformers up to 160 MVA, 220 kV class, with a long-term potential turnover of around INR1,500 crores once fully utilised, expected in FY29-30. The new facility is expected to drive growth from FY28 onwards.
