Revenue guidance

Category 3

→Q3 outlook is cautiously optimistic: first two months show continued growth momentum similar to Q2, but uncertainty remains beyond November (Page 17).
→Domestic volume growth without oxygen compressors was about 8%; consolidated volume growth (excluding oxygen) is ~18% (Page 13, 16).
→Positive growth seen across most industry verticals except textiles, though conversion of inquiries to orders is uncertain (Page 14).
→European expansion ongoing with breakeven now expected in FY2025 instead of FY2024 due to COVID delays; growth prioritized over margin extraction (Page 14, 16).
→Price realization improved after corrections, supporting margins despite earlier cost volatility (Page 7).
→Growth driven by global expansion, competitive lead times, and increased inquiries, but cautious about global macroeconomic risks like inflation and recession (Pages 4, 6, 13).

Margin guidance

Category 3

→Q3 outlook: Growth momentum continues with topline steady in first two months, though not exceeding Q2; cautious beyond Q3 due to possible market unpredictability (Page 17).
→Margins: 16% operating margin target set for 2025-2026; current margins around 14.5%. Growth prioritized over margin extraction (Page 14).
→Europe expansion: Break-even now expected FY2025 (delayed from FY2024 due to COVID); losses lower than planned; better-than-expected performance (Page 10).
→Pricing: Past price increases have stuck across geographies, supporting gross margins (Page 15-16).
→Volume growth: Consolidated volume growth approx. 8% excluding oxygen compressors; India volume growth positive but outlook uncertain due to macro factors (Page 6, 13).
→Focus on profitable growth: Operating profit improvements expected mainly through volume growth rather than margin expansion (Page 10).
