AIA Engineering reported Q3 FY24 revenue of INR 1,146 crore, with EBITDA of INR 395 crore (33.79% margin) and PAT of INR 279 crore. Sales volume was 74,000 tons, bringing 9-month total to 225,000 tons, with mining volumes growing 15,000 tons YoY to 158,000 tons. However, overall volume growth fell short of the 25,000-30,000 ton annual target due to slower-than-expected customer conversions from forged to high-chrome grinding media. Management cited a 2.5 million ton addressable market but noted conversion timelines remain uncertain. CapEx of INR 146 crore was spent in 9 months, with a new grinding media plant expected by Dec 2024-Mar 2025. Freight cost increases from Red Sea disruptions pose a near-term margin risk, though management expects pass-through if sustained. Guidance for FY25 volume growth remains at 25,000-30,000 tons, but execution is contingent on conversion progress.
AIA Engineering ने तीसरी तिमाही में 1,146 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की। कंपनी ने 395 करोड़ रुपये का परिचालन लाभ (EBITDA) कमाया, जो कमाई का 33.79% है। शुद्ध लाभ (PAT) 279 करोड़ रुपये रहा। कंपनी ने 74,000 टन बिक्री की, जिसमें खनन क्षेत्र की बिक्री 15,000 टन बढ़कर 1.58 लाख टन हो गई। लेकिन कुल बिक्री वृद्धि सालाना लक्ष्य (25,000-30,000 टन) से कम रही, क्योंकि ग्राहक पुराने उपकरणों से नए उपकरणों पर आने में धीमे हैं। कंपनी ने 2.5 मिलियन टन का बाजार देखा है, लेकिन बदलाव का समय अनिश्चित है। नई मशीनरी पर 146 करोड़ रुपये खर्च किए गए, जो दिसंबर 2024-मार्च 2025 तक तैयार होगी। लाल सागर संकट से माल ढुलाई लागत बढ़ी है, जिससे मुनाफा कम हो सकता है, लेकिन कंपनी इसे ग्राहकों पर डाल सकती है। अगले साल 25,000-30,000 टन बिक्री बढ़ाने का लक्ष्य है, लेकिन यह ग्राहकों के बदलाव पर निर्भर करेगा।

Mining segment grew 15,000 tons YoY to 158,000 tons in 9 months, while non-mining declined 6,000 tons.
Realization per Ton
INR 154
-INR 11 YoY
Realization dropped from INR 165 to INR 154 due to product mix shift towards lower-alloy products.

Mill liner volumes are on track at ~34,000 tons annually, with total capacity of 70,000 tons.
What Changed vs Last Quarter
NEW
FY25 volume growth target of 25,000-30,000 tons
Management expects incremental volume growth of 25,000-30,000 tons in FY25, contingent on conversion of customers from forged to high-chrome grinding media.
NEW
CapEx of INR 200 crore in FY24 and INR 200 crore in FY25
Total CapEx of INR 500 crore planned, with INR 200 crore for a new grinding media plant (commissioning Dec 2024-Mar 2025), INR 200 crore for debottlenecking, and INR 100 crore for renewable energy.
UPDATED
Long-term EBITDA margin guidance of 20-22%
Management reiterated that EBITDA margins will remain in the 20-22% range over the long term, despite near-term freight cost headwinds.
DROPPED
FY24 volume growth guidance reduced to 10,000-20,000 tons
Incremental tonnage for FY24 is now expected to be 10,000-20,000 tons, down from earlier guidance of 25,000-30,000 tons, due to slower conversion timelines.
DROPPED
Capex of INR 500 crore by March 2025
Planned capex of INR 500 crore includes INR 200 crore for grinding media expansion, INR 200 crore for debottlenecking, INR 50 crore for captive power, and INR 50 crore for land.
DROPPED
Grinding media expansion commissioning by December 2024
The 80,000-ton grinding media capacity expansion at the Kerala GIDC plant is on track for commissioning by December 2024.
NEW RISK
Slower-than-expected customer conversions
Conversion from forged to high-chrome grinding media is taking longer than anticipated, leading to volume growth shortfalls. Management cited customer conservatism and long decision cycles.
NEW RISK
Freight cost increase from Red Sea disruptions
Freight costs have risen due to Red Sea tensions, impacting near-term margins. Management is on a wait-and-watch mode and may pass on costs if sustained.
NEW RISK
Realization decline due to product mix shift
Realization per ton dropped from INR 165 to INR 154 due to a shift towards lower-alloy products, which could pressure margins if the trend continues.
RISK GONE
Slower conversion of forged to high-chrome grinding media
Conversion timelines are taking longer than expected, leading to a downward revision in FY24 volume growth guidance. This could persist if customer adoption remains slow.
RISK GONE
Brazil anti-dumping sunset review outcome
Brazil's anti-dumping duty is under sunset review; if renewed or increased, it could impact sales to Brazil (6,000-8,000 tons annually). Management expects no adverse outcome but uncertainty remains.
RISK GONE
Raw material price volatility
Ferrochrome prices remain volatile (between 100-120), which could impact margins if pass-through mechanisms lag. Management noted this as a continuing risk.
RISK GONE
Margin normalization risk
Current elevated margins (34.32%) are partly due to favorable product mix and pass-through timing. Management expects margins to normalize by 3%-5% over coming quarters, which could disappoint investors expecting sustained high margins.
