✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Denta Water reported a mixed Q3 FY26 with 9M revenue of ₹195.07 crore (+30.8% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹70.85 crore (+34% YoY), but Q3 standalone revenue was flat at ₹53.52 crore, missing the earlier guidance of ₹300 crore for FY26. Management attributed the slowdown to project milestone timing and monsoon-related delays in Karnataka. The order book stands at ₹841 crore, providing 2-2.5 years of visibility. Guidance for FY27 is 30% revenue growth, down from earlier expectations. Key risks include continued execution delays, elevated working capital (90-120 day cycle), and failure to convert the ₹400 crore Karnataka mining rehabilitation orders. The company remains debt-free but faces credibility challenges after missing guidance.
