Quarter read
What the record says.
L&T delivered a robust Q1 FY25 with group revenues of INR 55,100 crore (+15% YoY) and PAT of INR 2,800 crore (+12% YoY), driven by strong execution in Infrastructure (+22% YoY) and Hydrocarbon (+27% YoY). Order inflows grew 8% YoY to INR 70,900 crore, with international orders at 40% of the mix. The order book reached a record INR 4.91 trillion (+19% YoY), providing 3x revenue visibility. Management maintained its FY25 guidance of 10% order inflow growth and P&M margin of 8.2-8.25%, despite a 10% drop in the prospects pipeline to INR 9.07 trillion due to hydrocarbon deferrals. Key risks include skilled labor shortages impacting domestic execution and geopolitical volatility in the Middle East.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management reaffirmed the 10% order inflow growth guidance for FY25, despite a 10% drop in the prospects pipeline, citing a 22-23% conversion rate.
- Management maintained the P&M margin guidance of 8.2-8.25% for FY25, with Q1 margins at 7.6% (up 20 bps YoY).
- Management reiterated the 15% group revenue growth guidance, with H2 expected to be stronger due to domestic execution ramp-up.
- Management guided for CapEx of approximately INR 4,000 crore for FY25.
Risks flagged
- Management highlighted that skilled labor shortages could slow infrastructure execution, especially as India's CapEx cycle expands.
- The prospects pipeline dropped 10% YoY, primarily due to hydrocarbon project deferrals and losses, which could impact future order inflows.
- Management noted that geopolitical conflicts, supply chain disruptions, and commodity price volatility remain headwinds, particularly in the Middle East.
- International projects are largely fixed-price; any cost overruns or delays could pressure margins, though management expressed confidence in timely execution.
Key quotes
- We still maintain what we gave at 10% order inflow. That guidance is still being maintained, but you can have some amount of order prospects getting deferred and something we have lost also in that particular segment.
- The drop is largely witnessed in the Hydrocarbon segment, and I would not like to specify answer to a particular customer. I think there has been some amount of tendering that has happened where we have not secured.
- We are on track to more or less meet our targets at this juncture. I think we have started off very well as far as the margins is concerned.
