From the Q&A
TopicWhat management said
Revenue Target ClarificationManagement clarified the correct top-line growth target is 15% to 20%, not 10% to 15% as stated in the press release.
Annual Order Inflow GuidanceApart from the Uttam order, management guided for order bookings worth about INR 1,600 crores for the entire financial year.
New Product Opportunities (EM wall, counter-drone)Management stated that none of the revenue from recently demonstrated products like EM wall and counter-drone systems is included in current financial projections; it is 'all upside'.
Uttam Radar Execution TimelineThe Uttam Radar order has an overall execution period of about 5 years, with the first 12 units to be completed by September 2027, and production could be completed by FY31.
Margin OutlookManagement expects to maintain current margin trajectory, noting it should be 'healthier, if not as healthy as our current business at least', but avoided a firm commitment due to varying factors.
Q1 Revenue Decline ExplanationThe Q1 revenue miss was attributed to delays in customer approvals, technical issues, and supply chain problems, which are expected to be recovered in coming quarters.
