fundraise

Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

- Currently, both Asian Energy Services Limited and Oilmax Energy are well capitalized with strong cash flow and sufficient assets to support growth for the next 2-3 years. - It is premature to comment on any immediate plans for new fundraising through debt or equity. - The Board will evaluate the need for additional capital only when the company's growth significantly exceeds current expectations. - At that time, the Board will determine the best approach to raise funds, whether through debt, equity, or other means. - As of now, no concrete plans for fundraising have been announced.

capex

Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

- Asian Energy is actively evaluating multiple discovered small fields currently open for bidding across India, including Gujarat, Assam, Krishna Godavari basin, and Bombay offshore, signaling potential future capital investments. - The company is exploring new business avenues such as rare earth metals, with initial steps like acquiring a quartzite mine in Uttarakhand for mineral diversification. - Development activities are ongoing in existing fields; the South Rewa CBM block is under development with commercial production expected in about 2.5 years. - Drilling campaigns are planned or underway in fields such as Amguri, Tiphuk, Duarmara, and Indrora to ramp up production, implying ongoing capex. - Post-merger, combining Oilmax's asset ownership and Asian Energy's technical capabilities aims at a capital-efficient growth model focusing on low-risk, low-capex discovered assets. - No immediate large-scale capex is disclosed, but strategic investments focus on integrated field development and expanding global O&M services via Kuiper acquisition.

revenue

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- Asian Energy targets FY '26 revenue of INR 650-700 crores and EBITDA of INR 110-120 crores (Asian Energy standalone). - Post-merger with Oilmax, consolidated revenue and EBITDA projections will be updated after merger completion (~12 months from September 2025). - Oilmax is a growing company with expected growth, but specific FY '26 guidance for Oilmax alone is premature. - Kuiper acquisition (completed Sep 2025) will expand global O&M service platform and contribute to future revenues beyond FY '26. - Organic growth expected from discovered small fields bidding, development of new blocks like South Rewa CBM, and expansion of existing fields (e.g., Amguri, Indrora). - Long-term growth driven by supportive government policies, rising energy demand, and diversification into minerals. - Combined entity positioned for large integrated projects, increasing overall top-line and operational scale globally.

margin

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

- The merger of Oilmax Energy with Asian Energy is expected to enhance earnings and operational efficiencies over the long run (6 months to 1 year post-merger). - Combining Oilmaxโ€™s low-cost assets with Asianโ€™s technical capabilities will expand the customer base globally beyond India. - Post-merger, operating margins are expected to improve due to reduced intercompany GST leakage and consolidated cost synergies. - FY26 financial consolidation of Oilmax into Asian Energy will only occur after merger completion (~12 months), so FY26 guidance currently remains for Asian Energy alone. - Kuiper acquisition adds international O&M services, expected to positively impact business growth and diversification in FY26 and beyond. - Revenue and EBITDA growth are anticipated but precise Oilmax projections for FY26 are premature and will be shared when permissible. - Overall, combined entity aims for superior margins, stronger cash flow, and enhanced EPS growth driven by asset consolidation, cost synergies, and expanded global reach.
