- Revenue grew 9.7% sequentially to Rs. 201.92 crores.
- EBITDA surged 161% QoQ to Rs. 15.42 crores, with margins expanding to 7.57%.
- Reported a net profit of Rs. 5.17 crores versus a loss in the prior quarter.
- Order book stands at approximately Rs. 375.43 crores, billable in FY27.
- Annuity-based revenue is currently 23% of the mix, with a target of reaching 51%.
- Management is selectively focusing on margin-led deals and operational efficiency.
“We are concentrating on our bottom-line approach. We all know whom we are referring to. We got good contracts from the same customers for lower ticket value compared to the competition. That's a conscious call not to go aggressive in that big ticket item.”
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| EBITDA Margin Sustainability | Management stated the Q1 margin improvement is expected to be more or less sustainable due to operational efficiency and a focus on margin-led businesses like managed services and cybersecurity, rather than just chasing top-line growth. |
| Revenue Growth Drivers | 80% of the quarter's revenue growth came from existing customers, with 20% from new customers, a ratio they aim to maintain. |
| Order Book Execution & Annuity Mix | Maximum billing from the Rs. 375 crore order book is expected in Q3 and Q4 of FY27. Annuity-based revenue currently contributes 23%, with a long-term target of 51%, though achieving it may take another three years. |
| New NOC/SOC Center | The new Turbhe center's revenue contribution is currently 'single-digit percentage' and 'minuscule', but is expected to grow as it scales, contributing to ARR. |
| Competitive Strategy | The company took a conscious decision to forgo a large, potentially risky contract (referenced by an analyst) to avoid aggressive pricing and penalty risks, focusing instead on fair play and bottom-line health. |
| DaaS and International Expansion | Customer response to Device as a Service (DaaS) is positive, driven by a shift from CAPEX to OPEX. International offices in UAE and Singapore serve existing clients, but there are no plans to scale internationally this year, as the focus remains on the large Indian market. |
- FY27 will be a year of steady sequential improvement rather than a sharp one-quarter turnaround.
- The balance Rs. 35 CR of IPO funds (for DaaS) is expected to be utilized in the next couple of quarters.
- Maximum billing from the current order book will happen between Q3 and Q4 of FY27.
- Aims to increase annuity-based revenue mix to 51% over the long term (may take ~3 years).
- No plans for significant international expansion in the current financial year.
