What the record says.
CE Info Systems reported Q1 FY27 revenue of 139.7 crore (+14.9% YoY) with EBITDA margin of 40.2%, impacted by a one-time 4 crore government receivables write-off (net 80 lakh P&L hit). PAT grew 8.6% to 49.7 crore. The company restructured its reporting segments from two (A&M, CE) to three: Automotive, Enterprise & Government, and Mobility. Automotive showed strong 29% YoY growth to 58.8 crore driven by wins across two-wheelers (Suzuki, Wesfarl, Ultraviolet, Ampere) and passenger vehicles (Tata Sierra EV). The open order book stands at 1,750 crore, providing revenue visibility. IoT hardware revenue surged to 23 crore from 7 crore, reflecting the typical hardware-then-SaaS revenue progression pattern. The new Joint MD Rohan W.H.M.A. is focusing on government and IoT verticals as near-term growth drivers while strengthening the core map-led automotive and enterprise business. Management targets 35%+ EBITDA margin for FY27, noting Q1 seasonality typically weighs on government. The company is pursuing AI-native product development while remaining selective on government contracts due to receivable cycle risks.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management maintained its annual EBITDA margin guidance of 35% plus, noting quarterly fluctuations due to mix and seasonality. Q1 margin was 40.2% including the one-time write-off impact.
- Rohan W.H.M.A. emphasized leaning heavily into AI-native product development and AI-native organization transformation, building on 5-7 years of existing AI usage for map enhancement.
- The 1,750 crore order book, grown from 1,350 crore over two years, provides revenue conversion visibility across automotive, enterprise, and government segments.
Risks flagged
- A one-time 4 crore write-off (net 80 lakh P&L impact) from a government client was taken. Management acknowledged government receivables represent the majority of the 176 crore total receivables and emphasized careful tracking due to longer collection cycles.
- An analyst (Amar Moria) questioned why the mapled business grew only 6% in Q1 while IoT drove overall growth. Management attributed this to the need to view consolidated results and government seasonality, but acknowledged core business growth should be higher.
- IoT services revenue showed sequential decline from 37 crore (Q2 FY26) to 18 crore (Q1 FY27), creating uncertainty on the timing and magnitude of SaaS revenue ramp-up from new hardware deployments. Management attributed this to billing cycle variability rather than business deterioration.
- Management explained a previously disclosed large auto OEM issue was not contract reduction but vehicle-level technology decisions causing time shifts, with potential resolution in second half of FY27. The exact timing and vehicle count impact remains uncertain.
Key quotes
- We are a multi-product, multi-industry, and multi-use case products, platforms, APIs and solutions company. For 30 years what we have been doing is continuously envisioning the future and innovating at the cutting edge of tech building world-class and a wide variety of products and solutions.
- Government is a slow starter in the years. Q1 is generally the weakest in government. You can see the last nine quarters kind of trend.
- We're carefully tracking the government receivables. It is a longer cycle on government than on the automotive and enterprise. As government has grown, it has reflected in the receivables. We are doing course corrections as part of that and this write-off was part of that only.
