The call was hosted by Stellar IR Advisors and featured Managing Director T.V. Chowdary and CFO Vijay Kumar discussing the quarter's results and future plans.

Financial Performance Overview

The company's Q3FY26 performance showed marked deterioration across key metrics, primarily attributed to execution timing differences and high base effects from the previous year.

Nine-Month Performance Highlights

The nine-month performance showcased remarkable profit growth with PAT surging 58% YoY to Rs 39.2 crores and PAT margin expanding by 590 basis points to 13.1%.

Strong Order Book Position

During the conference call, management highlighted the company's robust order book position that provides strong revenue visibility.

The order book represents approximately 3.1x of FY25 revenue, with defence segment orders dominating at 92% of the total portfolio. Export orders constitute Rs 450 crores of the total order book.

Major Order Wins and Strategic Developments

Management discussed significant order wins during the quarter, including a major Rs 429 crores order from the Ministry of Defence for supply of chaffs and flares to the Indian Air Force received in October. This reinforces the company's leadership position in countermeasure systems.

The management expects the RDX/HMX facility to contribute Rs 150-200 crores in revenue during FY27, marking a significant capacity addition.

Export Business and Licensing

The company's export performance showed steady progress with 9-month exports at Rs 40 crores.

The company expects to execute the Rs 450 crores export order book within 1.5-2 years.

Revenue Guidance and Outlook
