Key positives
- Gross margin expanded 427bps YoY to 45.6% as raw-material cost fell to 54.4% of revenue from 58.7%, although the filing does not identify the cause.
- Revenue recovered 38.1% sequentially to ₹4,463.59 lakh after ₹3,231.10 lakh in Q1FY27.
- EPS tracked PAT closely, with EPS down 63.3% YoY versus PAT down 63.2%, indicating no evident dilution impact.
Key concerns
- Revenue declined 33.7% YoY to ₹4,463.59 lakh and H1 revenue declined 18.6% YoY to ₹7,694.69 lakh.
- EBITDA margin contracted 1,441bps YoY to 7.6%, showing that gross-margin improvement did not translate into operating profitability.
- Operating cash flow was negative ₹3,147.896 lakh against PAT of ₹372.07 lakh, driven by a ₹2,931.905 lakh working-capital outflow.
