✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Apollo Micro Systems delivered a record Q3 with revenue surging 70% YoY to ₹252 crore, driven by robust order book execution and transition of multiple products into production. EBITDA rose 33% to ₹50 crore, while PAT grew 25% to ₹23 crore. The 9-month revenue hit ₹611 crore, up 53% YoY, with EBITDA up 61% and PAT up 67%. Management reiterated a 45-50% CAGR revenue growth target over 3 years, backed by a ₹1,300 crore order book (including ₹500 crore from IDL). Key catalysts include the upcoming DAC approval for a ₹2,500 crore underwater mine order and QRSAM production orders. Risks include delays in DAC approvals and margin dilution from IDL consolidation, though standalone PAT margins are targeted at 15%.
