Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • Uniparts expects mid-teens percentage revenue growth for FY 2026 driven primarily by new business awards rather than existing market growth.
  • Existing OEM business is projected to remain flat to low single-digit growth, with aftermarket growing modestly (2-3%).
  • New business worth approximately INR 203 crores recently awarded will drive significant growth, especially in large tractors (>70 HP) and construction equipment.
  • Geographic expansion into markets like Korea and Mexico, along with new product lines such as fabrication, are key growth drivers.
  • Mexico operations will start with stocking/warehousing in 2025 and may move towards manufacturing if cost-effective.
  • The aftermarket segment, which carries higher margins, is growing faster than the overall market (25-30% growth noted).
  • Growth will come from expanding system boundaries by adding more components per vehicle and entering new platforms.
  • Management expects Q4 of FY25 to show sequential improvement and a pick-up in growth into FY26 due to new projects kicking off.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • Management expects over 15% revenue growth in FY 2026, driven primarily by new business rather than existing markets which are flat to single-digit growth.
  • New business awards totaling around INR 203 crores over the trailing 12 months underpin this growth.
  • Growth is expected across large tractors (>70 HP), construction equipment (supported by near-shoring in Mexico), and aftermarket segments, with the latter exhibiting better margins.
  • Existing OEM business remains soft; aftermarket growth and new awards are key profit drivers.
  • Operating margins are projected to improve slightly due to operating deleverage as volumes and new business ramp up.
  • EBITDA margins have been maintained around 17%-18% in tough markets; management anticipates a rebound toward 20% margins as market conditions improve.
  • EPS growth is expected to track business growth, supported by margin improvement and stable dividend policy (currently paying ~80-90% of profits).
