PREMIER EXPLOSIVES LTD

During the Q1 FY27 earnings conference call, Premier Explosives Limited reported a revenue of INR 102.6 crores, reflecting a 28% decline year-on-year, attributed to delays in dispatches and project execution due to global headwinds and supply chain disruptions. Management noted that while these factors impacted near-term revenue, the underlying demand for their products remains strong. The order book stood at INR 1,393 crores, with 94% from the defense segment, providing revenue visibility. Management highlighted the strategic acquisition of Apollo Micro Systems as a significant milestone, enhancing capabilities in defense electronics and creating opportunities for growth. The CFO reported an EBIT margin of 4.7% and a net profit margin of 3%, both showing declines compared to the previous year. Management expressed confidence in operational improvements and revenue recovery in the upcoming quarters, maintaining a revenue guidance of INR 600 crores for FY27.
