Cyient DLM reported Q2 FY26 revenue of ₹310.6 crore, down 20% YoY due to the completion of a large defense order, but EBITDA margin expanded 192 bps YoY to double digits, driven by a favorable revenue mix. PAT surged 108% YoY to ₹32.1 crore, boosted by a one-time earnout reversal. Order intake was strong at ₹500 crore (book-to-bill 1.6), with H1 cumulative intake up 130% YoY to over ₹1,000 crore. Management expects YoY revenue growth to resume in Q4 FY26, supported by a robust pipeline in industrial, automotive, and build-to-spec (B2S) segments. B2S now constitutes >10% of the order book. Key risks include geopolitical headwinds in Israel and tariff impacts on US operations, though management is actively managing these.
साइएंट डीएलएम ने दूसरी तिमाही में 310.6 करोड़ रुपये का कारोबार किया, जो पिछले साल से 20% कम है। इसकी वजह एक बड़ा रक्षा ऑर्डर पूरा होना है। लेकिन कंपनी का मुनाफा बढ़ाने वाला मार्जिन (EBITDA) 192 आधार अंक बढ़कर दोहरे अंकों में पहुंच गया, क्योंकि कंपनी ने ज्यादा मुनाफे वाले उत्पाद बेचे। शुद्ध मुनाफा (PAT) 108% बढ़कर 32.1 करोड़ रुपये हो गया, जिसमें एक बार का फायदा भी शामिल है। नए ऑर्डर 500 करोड़ रुपये आए, जो बिक्री से 1.6 गुना ज्यादा है। पहली छमाही में कुल ऑर्डर 130% बढ़कर 1,000 करोड़ से ऊपर पहुंच गए। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि चौथी तिमाही में कारोबार फिर से बढ़ेगा, खासकर उद्योग, ऑटो और खास डिजाइन वाले उत्पादों से। खतरे में इज़राइल में भू-राजनीतिक मुद्दे और अमेरिकी टैरिफ शामिल हैं, लेकिन कंपनी इन्हें संभाल रही है।

Read Transcript →Order intake of nearly ₹500 crore in Q2, with H1 cumulative intake crossing ₹1,000 crore, up 130% YoY.
Order book increased to ₹2,291 crore, reflecting strong order intake and sustained book-to-bill ratio.
Book-to-bill ratio of 1.6x in Q2, exceeding the target of above 1, with FY26 expected at 1.4-1.5x.
Box build revenue grew 34% YoY, indicating a shift to higher-margin, stickier product mix.
Management expects the full-year book-to-bill ratio to be in the range of 1.4 to 1.5x, indicating sustained order momentum.
Management expects year-over-year revenue growth to resume in the fourth quarter of FY26, driven by order book execution.
Management is confident of maintaining and improving double-digit EBITDA margins, supported by favorable revenue mix and scale.
Build-to-spec revenue is expected to grow in FY27, with several projects in development and mass production starting from FY28.
Management expects to sustain double-digit EBITDA margins, with potential improvement from operating leverage as volumes grow.
Management expects strong year-over-year revenue growth in all four quarters of FY27, backed by record order book and pipeline.
Target to reduce net working capital days to 100-120 days over the next couple of years.
The geopolitical situation in Israel has significantly impacted revenue quantum and predictability, though recent stability may help.
Tariffs pose a risk to US operations; management is discussing solutions with customers but has no one-size-fits-all answer.
Revenue decline is primarily due to the completion of a large defense order; new defense orders depend on Indian MOD awards.
B2S orders have long design cycles (2-3 years), delaying revenue contribution from mass production until FY28.
Supply chain delays due to West Asia crisis impacted Q4 revenue and inventory levels; risk of continued execution delays.
Tariff overhang on US operations (Altech) creates uncertainty for cross-border synergies and margin improvement.
Despite strong order book, revenue growth may lag if execution challenges persist or new orders convert slowly.
Management expects the full-year book-to-bill ratio to be in the range of 1.4 to 1.5x, indicating sustained order momentum.
The geopolitical situation in Israel has significantly impacted revenue quantum and predictability, though recent stability may help.
