Margin guidance

Category 3
  • The company expects a top-line growth of 15% to 20% for FY26, aiming for INR4,500 crore plus from the current INR4,000 crore level.
  • Operating cash flow improved significantly to INR158.25 crores in FY25 from a negative INR45.92 crore last year, indicating positive earnings momentum.

  • The company anticipates that expansion in higher-margin segments like auto tubes (12-13% EBITDA) and defence (expected 20%+ EBITDA) will drive margin improvement.
  • Debt reduction and internal accruals will fund expansion, which will aid healthier profit margins by lowering interest costs over time.
  • Defence and precision tube plants commissioning are expected to be game changers contributing positively to earnings in the coming years.

Fundraise plans

Yes
  • No immediate plans for capital raising from market or otherwise; future funding needs will depend on business progress and capacity ramp-up (Page 26).
  • Equity dilution is considered a last option; primary preference is to fund expansion through internal accruals as the company grows (Page 30).
  • Management is committed to reducing debt; planned debt repayment of approximately INR60 crores in FY26 through routine and additional repayments (Page 13).
  • Defence subsidiary IPO or further fundraise may be considered only after plant commissioning and achieving operational clarity; no timelines yet provided (Page 26).
  • CapEx for FY26 mainly includes defence-related and maintenance expenditures; any major expansions will be guided post H2 FY25 (Page 18).
  • Overall approach is conservative, prioritizing internal accruals and debt reduction over fresh equity or debt raising in near term (Pages 15, 26, 30).
