2-Min Summary
Kaynes Technology reported FY26 revenue of ₹3,626.4 crore (+33.2% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹574.1 crore (+39.8% YoY), with EBITDA margin at 15.8%. Q4 revenue was ₹1,242.6 crore (+26% YoY). However, the company missed its initial guidance of ₹4,500 crore, blaming geopolitical disruptions and customer deferrals. The smart metering subsidiary (₹971 crore revenue) caused a sharp rise in receivables to ₹1,365 crore, leading to negative operating cash flow of ₹600 crore. Management declined to give numerical guidance for FY27, only committing to "double the market growth rate" (market growing 15-16%). Key risk: working capital stress from metering business may persist, with management admitting it will take three quarters to reverse the trend.

We are not only giving guidance for the revenue numbers... we say we'll outgrow the market... we do not want to attach a number to that.
Our near-term topline performance did not fully meet market expectation primarily due to geopolitical disruptions especially the West Asia conflict which led to last minute customer deferment.
We have not given any guidance like this. This is our 12th year.
