✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

HFCL reported Q1 FY24 revenue of INR 995.19 Cr (down 5.3% YoY) due to intentional reduction in low-margin turnkey projects. However, EBITDA surged 23% YoY to INR 159.62 Cr and PAT rose 42% to INR 75.56 Cr, driven by a favorable product mix (67% product revenue vs 59% last year) and EBITDA margin expansion of 369 bps to 16.04%. International revenue grew 156% YoY to INR 176 Cr, and the order book stands at INR 6,585 Cr. Management expects margins to sustain or improve with new 5G products and capacity expansion. Key risk: delays in the Army NFS project billing (~INR 150 Cr) due to third-party vendor issues.
