Revenue guidance

Category 2
  • Shera Energy targets substantial sales and volume growth driven primarily by increased production capacity and market demand.
  • The company raised its production capacity by 15%, now at 46,750 metric tons, enabling higher output.
  • Volume growth has been significant, with 20%-30% growth in quantity reported since last year.
  • Export sales have shown a dramatic increase, from INR50 crores last year to INR75 crores by December FY'25, with expectations for further growth.
  • The company plans to enhance capacity utilization beyond 85%, aiming for 90-95% in the upcoming quarters.
  • Shera expects cost reductions and improved EBITDA margins through backward integration, including raw material sourcing via investments in Zambia, targeting to replace 20-25% of raw material needs in FY'25-26 and 40-50% subsequently.
  • Long term growth is also supported by expanding into higher-margin products like nickel-based alloys via subsidiaries.
  • Management foresees a "bull run" post stabilization of operations within 6-8 months after initiating new projects.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • For FY 2025-26, Shera Energy expects substantial growth driven by:
  • - Stabilization and ramp-up of new product lines, especially nickel-based alloys.
  • - Increased production capacity utilization beyond current 80-85%, targeting closer to 90-95%.
  • - Backward integration efforts, including operations in Zambia for raw materials, aiming to reduce raw material costs by 20-50% over two years, improving EBITDA margins.
  • - Expansion into higher-margin value-added products via subsidiaries.
  • - Improved export sales, which are expected to grow significantly from INR75 crores as of December.
  • - Continued strong operational performance, with revenue growth tied to volume increases rather than price.
  • - No material EBITDA margin expansion expected in the near term but focus on margin improvement through cost reduction.
  • EPS is anticipated to improve in line with revenue and net profit growth, building on the 27.92% increase achieved in the previous period.

Fundraise plans

Yes
  • Sheikh Naseem mentioned that after gaining 6-7 months of operational experience and securing timely payments, the company plans to take a good amount of equity and make investments either through bank debt or raising funds via public share issuance.
  • However, he clarified that no big commitments or large fundraising events are planned for fiscal year 2025-26, as this period will be experimental.
  • The company is currently focusing on reducing capital expenditure by looking for lease-based operations in Zambia instead of making large upfront investments.
  • For the initial phase, capacity and growth will be managed using present funds and working capital raised earlier.
  • Any concrete fundraising plans will be intimated to investors through exchange disclosures in due course.

Order book

  • Shera Energy does not maintain a large, fixed order book due to the commodity nature of their products where prices fluctuate daily.
  • Orders typically come in smaller, scattered quantities, generally ranging between 25 tons to 200 tons.
  • Customers place orders based on immediate needs rather than bulk orders for several months ahead.
  • Orders are received every 3 to 4 days or weekly with varying prices depending on market rates at the time.
  • The company operates with repeated orders from over 95% of existing customers, with only 3-5% of orders coming from new customers annually.
  • There is no specific large pending order book; business volume grows through consistent smaller orders aligned with market demands.

Capex plans

Yes
  • Shera Energy has made capacity enhancements recently, increasing production capacity by 15%.
  • Further capacity expansions and machinery additions are planned in the coming time using the company's own funds.
  • Investments are underway in subsidiaries Shera Metal and Rajputana Industries to produce high-margin nickel-based alloy products, expected to start production by end of March.
  • Focus on stabilizing subsidiary operations and scaling production for FY 2025-26.
  • Strategic investment planned in Zambia, primarily through lease agreements with existing plants to reduce capex; this is to lower raw material costs and enhance margins.
  • Experimental phase for Zambia operations planned for 6-8 months with aggressive expansion anticipated after stabilization.
  • Preference is to minimize heavy capex on plant and machinery in Zambia, focusing more on working capital.
  • No immediate major fundraising planned; fundraise done in November partly for working capital, including Zambia operations.
