Analyst Gautam questioned why order flow doesn't reflect the company's capability expansion. Management admitted demand is soft—no anti-drone tenders have been floated recently. Orders depend entirely on government procurement cycles.
Management explicitly stated revenue is weighted toward Q2-Q3 due to 12-month execution cycles on H2 FY26 orders. Q1 already came in lower at ₹141.6 crore. Any further delays in execution could cause full-year miss.
Q1 EBITDA margin of 27.3% was well below stated 35% guidance. Operating leverage works both ways—fixed costs remain high. If Q2-Q3 revenue doesn't scale as projected, margins may not recover to mid-30s.
Management acknowledged US is a 'very closed market' requiring ITAR clearances and prime vendor alignment. Modest $100 million revenue target only by Year 3 of entry. No significant orders expected from US/EU in FY27-28.
