✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

HAL reported FY26 revenue of INR 33,050 crore (+7% YoY) and EBITDA of INR 13,472 crore (+11% YoY), with EBITDA margin steady at 30%. Manufacturing revenue grew 31% to INR 9,227 crore, driven by ALH helicopters and engine deliveries, while ROH revenue remained flat. The order book surged to INR 2,54,538 crore (+34% YoY) after booking INR 97,028 crore in fresh orders, including 97 LCA Mk1A. However, LCA Mk1A deliveries remain stalled due to software refinements and GE engine supply constraints; management expects first deliveries by September 2026 and targets 20 deliveries in FY27. Revenue guidance for FY27 is 10-12% growth, with EBITDA margin maintained at 30-31%. Key risk: further delays in LCA certification could push deliveries beyond FY27, impacting revenue visibility.
