✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Data Patterns delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with revenue of ₹173 crore (+48% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹78 crore (+44% YoY), maintaining a healthy 44% EBITDA margin. PAT grew 31% YoY to ₹58 crore. The record order book of ₹1,868 crore and a pipeline of ₹1,100 crore in negotiated orders provide strong visibility. Growth was driven by improved execution across defense programs, particularly in electronic warfare and seekers. Management guided for 20-25% revenue growth over the medium term and expects healthy EBITDA margins. Key risks include potential delays in government contract finalizations and working capital cycles, which management expects to improve as collections materialize.
