2-Min Summary
Premier Explosives reported Q3 FY26 revenue of ₹81.4 crore and EBITDA of ₹11.6 crore (14.3% margin), with PAT of ₹6 crore. The YoY decline is attributed to a high base from elevated shaft and flare dispatches last year and execution timing. The order book stands at ₹1,294 crore (3.1x FY25 revenue), providing strong visibility. Management guided FY26 revenue of ₹500-550 crore, down from earlier ₹600 crore, due to a factory accident and import delays. Key growth drivers include the ₹429 crore MOD order for shafts/flares, RDX/HMX expansion at Katapali (expected ₹150-200 crore revenue in FY27), and new product additions (mines, ammunition). Risks include inspection delays by MOD, potential liquidated damages on delayed contracts, and geopolitical supply chain disruptions.
