- Ather Energy is gearing up for the launch of the EL platform later in 2026, which is a lower-cost architecture aimed at expanding entry price points without compromising margins. - EL production will scale through the Aurangabad (AURIC) facility, with a possibility of initial manufacturing in Hosur to de-risk timelines. - Plans for expanding distribution are closely tied to the product portfolio, with expectations to grow store count potentially into the thousands over the next few years aligned with new product launches like EL. - Continued investment focus on cost reduction via manufacturing engineering, vendor optimization, and scalable mechanical improvements related to EL. - Although not explicitly detailing new capital spends, Ather is preparing for mid to long-term growth drivers including international expansion beyond the next 12 months. - The company is also investing in charging infrastructure and entering auto insurance to control end-to-end consumer experience and margin accretion.

- Ather Energy expects strong medium to long-term growth driven by international expansion, although no significant export contributions are expected in the next 12 months. - Distribution expansion is projected to continue, with a target of opening 700 stores by the end of the fiscal year and potential for a couple thousand stores in the next few years. - New product launches, especially the upcoming EL platform, are expected to open up new markets, particularly in North India, and help lower entry price points without sacrificing margins. - Focus on increasing market share in Middle India, Rest of India, and Odisha, with market share growth observed recently and expected to continue. - Non-vehicle revenues (software, spares, service, charging) have significant upside over 3-4 years, compounding with fleet size growth. - Expect continued improvement in gross margins and unit economics, supported by LFP battery adoption and reduced cost of bills of materials. - Strong volume growth evidenced by 50% YoY increase in units sold in Q3 FY’26, with positive outlook for sustained growth through product and market expansion.

- EBITDA has improved significantly, with a 1,600 bps year-on-year rise to negative 3% in Q3 FY’26, indicating a strong trajectory toward profitability. - The company expects to exit FY’26 with better than negative 9% EBITDA year-to-date, showing ongoing operating leverage improvements. - Non-vehicle revenue, already at 14% of total revenue, has strong compounding potential over the next 3-4 years, contributing to profitability. - Operating leverage driven by expanding demand, especially for the Rizta model, is a key earnings growth driver. - Commodity cost risks exist but are managed through product innovation (EL platform) and disciplined pricing, including recent price hikes. - Mid to long-term international expansion (beyond next 12 months) is seen as a considerable growth lever. - Management is optimistic on margin expansion with gross margin improvement to 25% (+700 bps YoY) and sustained revenue growth (~50% YoY). - No specific EPS or monthly volume breakeven guidance provided.
