From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Huron Accounting Change Impact | Management confirmed that due to a shift to a more conservative accounting policy, Huron missed INR35 crores in revenue and INR22 crores in EBITDA in Q1, which would have made consolidated results look stronger on a like-to-like basis. |
| New Capacity & Capex | The new facility adding 10,000 machines/year is on track for September 2026 commissioning. Total project capex is INR450 crores, with FY27 capex estimated at INR200-250 crores. |
| Huron Revenue & Margin Outlook | Management expects Huron to generate INR300-325 crores revenue in FY27 with an EBITDA margin of 8-10%. |
| Working Capital & Cash Flow | Elevated inventory is due to raw material build-up for the capacity ramp-up; working capital is expected to improve, and the company aims for operating cash flow conversion of about 50% of EBITDA. |
| Export License Delays | Revenue recognition at Huron is delayed due to longer timelines for obtaining end-user certificates from European authorities for 5-axis machines, a result of heightened geopolitical scrutiny. |
