Quarter read
What the record says.
Kirloskar Pneumatic delivered its highest ever Q1 revenue at 300 crore, up 10% YoY, despite geopolitical headwinds impacting package business order bookings. EBITDA grew over 20% to 54 crore with margin expansion of 190 bps to 17.6%, driven by favorable product mix and in-house manufacturing. PAT increased 21% to 34.1 crore. The air compressor division recorded its highest-ever quarterly order booking, led by strong demand for centrifugal compressors. However, process gas and precision engineering divisions underperformed expectations. The order book stands at 1,853 crore, with management maintaining FY27 revenue guidance. Geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East continues to delay order finalization and dispatches, though domestic demand remains robust. Key risks include execution delays in package business and uncertain timing of large Middle East orders.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management maintained revenue guidance of 2,100 crore for FY27, not moderating outlook despite Q1 softness from geopolitical factors.
- Aspiration remains to maintain EBITDA margins between 18-20% on average, though quarterly variations expected based on product mix.
- Targeting to book over 100 crore worth of orders in Tescati Poker centrifugal compressors during FY27.
- Committed 320 crore capex for JIRON project spanning FY27-FY28, with FY27 capex planned at 100 crore.
Risks flagged
- Ongoing Middle East conflict is delaying order finalization and dispatches for package business, with uncertain resolution timeline.
- PED division yet to see dispatch momentum despite established manufacturing capabilities. Q2 expected to show notable improvement but development cycles remain long.
- Management repeatedly deflected questions on PED end-user segments, sustainability, and management bandwidth commitment, only acknowledging it may become 10-15% of business in 5-7 years.
- While CNG demand improved, management indicated revenue increase may only be slight in FY27, raising questions about the pace of recovery in a 35-40% revenue segment.
Key quotes
- The geopolitical situation in the Middle East may continue for some time which will continue to impact the pace of order finalization and execution timelines. It may also affect dispatches to the Middle East region.
- Some revenue which we were expecting to happen in this quarter has been deferred to the next quarter. Would be a mix of both (product and package revenue).
- As far as guidance goes we would not be moderating anything at the moment. We're maintaining the guidance of 2,100 crore for this year.
