Quarter read
What the record says.
L&T delivered a robust Q2 FY25 with group revenues of INR 61,600 crore, up 21% YoY, driven by strong execution in infrastructure and hydrocarbon. Consolidated PAT grew 5% YoY to INR 3,400 crore, or 25% excluding a one-off TOD gain last year. The P&M portfolio margin improved 20bps YoY to 7.6%, while group EBITDA margin contracted 70bps to 10.3% due to the non-recurrence of the TOD gain. Order inflows were INR 80,000 crore (down 10% YoY on a high base), but the order book crossed INR 5 trillion for the first time. Management maintained FY25 guidance of 10% order inflow growth and 15% revenue growth. Key risks include geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and delayed domestic ordering.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management reaffirmed guidance of 10% growth in consolidated order inflows for FY25, implying ~INR 3.3 lakh crore.
- Revenue guidance of 15% YoY growth for the group is maintained.
- Management expects P&M EBITDA margin to remain around the FY24 level of 8.2-8.25%.
- NWC/sales ratio expected to be around 15% as of March 2025, improved from 16.7% in Sep 2023.
Risks flagged
- Conflicts in West Asia and Red Sea disruptions could impact global trade, costs, and project timelines.
- State government CapEx may be moderated as some states divert funds to subsidies, potentially slowing order inflows.
- Large hydrocarbon projects in the Middle East are fixed-price; any delay could compress margins.
- Metro reported a PAT loss of INR 2.07 billion in Q2, driven by interest costs; TOD monetization remains slow.
Key quotes
- We continue to maintain our guidance for the current financial year around group order inflows, group revenues, margins in the production manufacturing portfolio, and group net working capital to revenue.
- We have a strong order prospects pipeline of INR 2.49 trillion for this energy segment for the remaining six months.
- We are well placed in some of the bids that have happened on BTG, almost 6,400 megawatts. We are well placed across three projects.
