2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

M&B Engineering delivered a strong FY26 with revenue of 1,260 cr (+27% YoY) and PAT of 93 cr (+20% YoY), driven by robust order inflows and execution. However, Q4 margins were pressured by forex losses (₹6 cr), steel price surge (+20%), and export freight costs due to the Iran conflict. The order book stands at 1,083 cr (+35% YoY), providing good visibility. Management guides for ~25% revenue growth in FY27, supported by capacity expansion (Sanand +20k MT, JR plant) and US tariff reduction (25% cut). Risks include continued input cost volatility, extended US order conversion cycles, and potential labor/monsoon disruptions in H1. Margin guidance remains withheld pending clarity on costs.

Notable Quotes

We feel that this is a bit premature for us to give any margin guidance for FY27 for three very clear reasons: steel prices have gone up by 20%, freights are very uncertain, and FX we are not able to control exactly.
Chad Patel · Joint Managing Director
The sectoral import tariff in the US market has recently been reduced by 25%. This is a meaningful improvement and we expect it to enhance competitiveness and improve traction in the US market going forward.
Nala Patel · Joint Managing Director
We are looking at about 16-17% EBITDA on exports vis-à-vis currently about 10-11% that we are getting in the domestic market.
