margin

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

- Revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 75% over the next three fiscals, driven by phased commissioning of the Greenfield Bokaro project and organic growth in existing business verticals. - Operating EBITDA is projected to grow at a CAGR of 45% over the same period, with margins stabilizing around 11% by FY28. - PAT margins are expected to stabilize at approximately 5% by FY28, resulting in a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 15% or more. - Profit after tax is projected to grow at a CAGR of 35%-40% over the next three fiscals. - The transition to an integrated downstream steel processing model, though leading to lower EBITDA margins compared to the previous conversion-based model, will bring material top-line expansion and profit growth. - Earnings per share (EPS) growth aligns broadly with net profit growth, supported by scaling operations and capacity ramp-up at Bokaro by FY28.
