Afcons reported Q3 FY26 revenue of ₹3,125 crore, down 9% YoY, impacted by execution delays, slow conversion of L1 orders, and liquidity issues with government clients. EBITDA margin improved 50 bps YoY to 14%, aided by project savings and arbitration awards, though PAT fell 35% to ₹97 crore due to a ₹76.5 crore labor code provision. Order inflow was ₹3,700 crore YTD, with a pending order book of ₹32,635 crore. Management maintained its full-year order inflow guidance of ₹20,000 crore, expecting large awards in Q4 including a Croatia rail project (₹6,600 crore). Revenue growth guidance was revised to 5% from 10%, with Q4 execution needing a sharp pickup. Risks include delayed TBM clearance for the bullet train project, aggressive bidding in metros, and stuck payments in UP Jal Jeevan Mission.
एफकॉन्स ने तीसरी तिमाही में 3,125 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 9% कम है। इसकी वजह काम में देरी, ऑर्डर मिलने में धीमी गति और सरकारी ग्राहकों से भुगतान न मिलना है। मुनाफा बढ़ाने वाली चीजों (EBITDA) में 0.5% सुधार हुआ, जो 14% रहा, लेकिन शुद्ध मुनाफा 35% गिरकर 97 करोड़ रुपये रह गया। कंपनी ने 76.5 करोड़ रुपये मजदूरी कानून के लिए अलग रखे। अब तक 3,700 करोड़ रुपये के नए ऑर्डर मिले हैं और कुल बकाया ऑर्डर 32,635 करोड़ रुपये है। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि पूरे साल 20,000 करोड़ रुपये के ऑर्डर मिलेंगे, जिसमें क्रोएशिया का रेल प्रोजेक्ट (6,600 करोड़) भी शामिल है। कमाई वृद्धि का अनुमान 10% से घटाकर 5% कर दिया गया है। जोखिमों में बुलेट ट्रेन प्रोजेक्ट में देरी, मेट्रो में कम बोली और यूपी जल जीवन मिशन में फंसे भुगतान शामिल हैं।
