HFCL reported Q1 FY25 revenue of INR 1,158 crore (+16% YoY), EBITDA of INR 185 crore (15% margin), and PAT of INR 111 crore (+46% YoY). Growth was driven by a surge in telecom equipment revenue to INR 401 crore (vs INR 143 crore in FY24), led by strong demand for UBRs and FWA equipment. The OFC segment remained weak due to global slowdown, but management expects recovery from Q3 FY25. The company targets 25-30% revenue growth for FY25, supported by a robust order book of INR 6,776 crore, PLI benefits, and expansion into passive connectivity solutions and defense. Key risks include delayed OFC demand recovery and execution risks in new product segments.
एचएफसीएल ने पहली तिमाही में 1,158 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 16% ज्यादा है। कंपनी ने 185 करोड़ रुपये का मुनाफा कमाया (15% मार्जिन) और शुद्ध मुनाफा 111 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 46% बढ़ा। टेलीकॉम उपकरणों की बिक्री 401 करोड़ रुपये तक पहुंच गई, जो पिछले साल 143 करोड़ थी। इसकी वजह UBR और FWA उपकरणों की ज्यादा मांग है। ऑप्टिकल फाइबर का कारोबार कमजोर रहा, लेकिन कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि तीसरी तिमाही से इसमें सुधार होगा। कंपनी का लक्ष्य इस साल 25-30% कमाई बढ़ाना है। उसके पास 6,776 करोड़ रुपये के ऑर्डर हैं और सरकारी योजनाओं का फायदा मिल रहा है। जोखिम यह है कि ऑप्टिकल फाइबर की मांग देर से उठ सकती है और नए उत्पादों में काम करने में दिक्कत हो सकती है।
