Quarter Snapshot

Consolidated revenue grew 30.78% YoY to Rs.580.53 Cr, largely acquisition-aided, while normalized PAT fell 4.27% YoY and consolidated EBITDA margin compressed 212 bps to 23.96%. Management's FY27 guidance is broadly on track — standalone EBITDA margin of 27.42% exceeded the 25-27% band, though consolidated gross margin breached its 71-72% target at 70.09%. Working capital build (inventories +18.06% since March) and a shrinking treasury-income base are the key watch items into H2.
