✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Cochin Shipyard reported a strong Q1 FY26 with revenue of INR 1,068.59 crore (+38.5% YoY) and PAT of INR 187.82 crore (+7.8% YoY), driven by robust execution in shipbuilding and repair. EBITDA margin stood at 28%, though management guided full-year margins lower to ~20% due to a normalizing ship repair mix after last year's aircraft carrier work. The order book remains healthy at ~INR 21,000 crore (75 vessels), with new MoUs with HD KSOE and Drydocks World expected to drive long-term growth. Revenue guidance for FY26 is 14-15% growth, with PAT margin around 15%. Key risk: delays in defense order conversions (e.g., IAC-2) could impact future pipeline visibility.
