From Route Mobile Ltd's Q1 FY27 earnings-call transcript · updated 23 Sept 2026.

Revenue & Sales Performance

Moderate growth

Expect volume growth to pick up seasonally in next couple of quarters, targeting 10%-15% growth as season sets in (Page 7).
New product portfolio (RCS, WhatsApp, non-SMS solutions) growing robustly at 14% YoY and 11% QoQ, seen as growth engine (Page 4, 12).
Domestic SMS and new product businesses expected to grow at similar pace, with focus on all segments: ILD, domestic, new products (Page 18).
ILD business growth currently challenged but conversion of large opportunities in pipeline could revive growth depending on telecom pricing strategies (Page 18-19).
RCS expected to contribute higher-margin revenue and drive margin expansion as it gains market share (Page 18).

ILD segment growth remains challenging but not declining; large opportunities pursued with potential for recovery if telecom operators rationalize pricing.
Gross margins likely to stabilize between 21.5% to 23% over medium term; RCS and new products anticipated to support margin expansion.
Adjusted EBITDA margin targeted around 12% for the full year, with some transient in-quarter margin impacts expected to reverse.
Profit after tax up 16.6% YoY but with short-term sequential softness; improvements expected as new solutions ramp up.

Order Book & Pipeline

The transcript on page 18, and surrounding pages, does not explicitly mention the current or expected order book or pending orders for Route Mobile. However, some related insights include: - The company is engaged in testing new partnerships, such as with Truecaller, which could open access to a large user base but is too early to quantify order book potential. - There is ongoing work on platform deployment with large clients like Claro, representing significant potential given their large subscriber base. - Volumes and growth are expected to improve with seasonality and new product portfolio expansion.

- The business is focused on onboarding higher-margin accounts and pushing the new product portfolio (RCS, WhatsApp, IP-based messaging) which is growing strongly (14% YoY). - No direct order backlog numbers or pending order values have been disclosed in this part of the call. Thus, no specific current or expected order book or pending order figures are provided in the available transcript content.
