Margin guidance

Category 2
  • Integrated Supply Chain (ISCS) segment is expected to grow in mid-teens for the full year, with strong volume recovery and continued business development efforts.
  • Network Solutions segment margins are anticipated to improve in second half (H2) FY24 due to price increases, volume uptick, and cost reduction initiatives.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margins for the full year FY24 are expected to rise by 80 to 100 basis points year-on-year driven by operating leverage and cost management.
  • EBITDA growth observed in Q1 (7.3% YoY), with promises of further margin expansion especially in the ISCS segment (190 bps YoY increase).
  • Profitability impacted in Q1 by one-time charges and increased borrowing costs, but borrowing costs are expected to normalize post-IPO debt repayments, reducing interest expense by approximately INR15 crores per quarter.
  • Operating leverage and strict cost controls in Network and Supply Chain segments to support earnings growth in H2.
  • Overall focus on profitable growth with improving exit run rates expected by fiscal year-end.

Order book

- The company is continuing to win deals, particularly in the Global Freight Solutions (GFS) segment, retaining its entire customer base. - There is a strong pipeline of business development opportunities, indicating healthy expected order inflow. - The Network Solutions segment is well-positioned to experience a growth surge ("hockey stick") when the volume uptake phenomenon reverses and improves. - Volume improvement in global freight is expected, driving better revenues in the second half. - The company’s focus on expanding customer relationships and adding new capabilities/geographies supports orderbook growth. - Indian market growth is driven by domestic consumption and industrial output, supporting a robust demand outlook. In summary, the current orderbook is strong with ongoing deal wins, and future pipeline visibility is positive for growth in both Supply Chain and Network Solutions segments.
