From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Q1 Revenue Run Rate | Management attributed the Q1 revenue of INR460 crores, lower than previous quarters, to seasonal site conditions and clearances, not capacity issues. They aim for an average INR600 crores per quarter for the next 3-4 quarters to meet the full-year target. |
| QIP Utilization | The INR250 crores QIP proceeds will fund accelerated expansion: ~INR150 crores for heavy structure plant Phases 2 & 3, INR50-60 crores for a new Gujarat PEB plant, and INR50-60 crores for a JV export unit for open web joists. |
| Canadian JV Rationale & Outlook | The JV with ER Steel leverages Interarch's manufacturing for the North American open web joist market. At full 15,000-tonne capacity, sales could reach $22-23 million with over 20% EBITDA margin, ramping up over 2-3 years. |
| Capacity Utilization | Q1 sales volume was 38,500 tonnes against a quarterly capacity of 50,000 tonnes (~80% utilization). Utilizable capacity is 85-90% of installed capacity; last year's utilization was 88% of utilizable capacity. |
| Margin Trajectory & Guidance | Management aims to improve margins through complex projects, exports, internal cost control, and operational leverage. The target is 9.5%-10% EBITDA margin for FY28, with significant improvement expected then rather than immediately in FY27. |
| Working Capital & Cash Flow | Operating cash flow was positive at INR26.83 crores in Q1. Last year's negative cash flow was due to large work-contract orders; billing and collections are now improving. The company has no debt. |
| Heavy Structure Business & Order Book | The order book includes about 35% from new-age industries and buildings (e.g., data centers). The heavy structure plant will allow bidding on hybrid projects. FY27 revenue guidance includes INR100-150 crores from heavy structures. |
| Export Contribution & Target | Exports were INR10-12 crores in Q1 (~2-3% of revenue). The medium-term target is for exports to contribute 10% of total turnover, driven by the PEB business and the new open web joist JV. |
