H1 FY27 Earnings Call. Today, we have the meeting being represented by Mr. Nikhil
Mallavarapu, Joint Managing Director, and Mr. Sundararajan Parthasarathy, Chief Financial
Officer.
At this time, I will hand over the call to Nikhil for his opening remarks, post which we will open
up the floor for Q&A. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Nikhil Mallavarapu: Thank you, Tanay, and good evening, everyone. Welcome to Centum Electronics Earnings
Conference Call to discuss our performance for the second quarter and first half of FY27. Let
me also extend a special thanks to our hosts at DAM Capital.
I will begin with an overview of the company's performance, followed by updates for our Build
to Spec or BTS business and our Electronic Manufacturing Services or EMS business. Our CFO,
Mr. Sundararajan Parthasarathy, will then take you through financial performance in greater
detail.
Overall, the company delivered a strong performance during the quarter, supported by robust
execution across both BTS and EMS. Q2 revenue increased by 52% year-on-year to INR312
crores. For the first half, revenue increased by 32% year-on-year to INR517 crores. Profitability
also strengthened with quarterly EBITDA growing by 63% and PAT by 77% year-on-year.
Our order book stood at approximately INR2,000 crores as of September 2026, representing
growth of about 38% year-on-year. This provides a strong visibility for future execution and
reflects a continued customer confidence across defense, space, semiconductor equipment,
transportation, industrial, and medical applications.
Let me first start by speaking about our BTS business. BTS delivered a strong quarter with
revenue increasing by 84% year-on-year. For the first half, BTS revenue increased by 33% year-
on-year, and this was supported by improved execution across key radar electronics and space
programs.
The BTS order book increased by 47% year-on-year at the end of Q2 and stood at INR959 crores.
Among the key wins, we secured a prestigious export order of approximately INR30 crores for
the design, development, and supply of advanced electronic warfare subsystem.

The technology being developed leverages the latest technologies, creating a meaningful
platform for follow-on opportunities. We also secured our second order for tactical air navigation
systems, valued at approximately INR51 crores.
This follows the initial order of approximately INR30 crores and is an important validation of
our strategy to increase the contribution of system-level programs. Other major wins during the
quarter included satellite payload electronics.
Execution on our strategic programs also progressed well. We achieved important design
milestones on our radar programs, which represent an important step forward in strengthening
our indigenous design and engineering capabilities in advanced systems.
During the quarter, Centum's contribution to India's space program also received recognition
following the successful GISAT-1A or EOS-05 mission. More than 200 Centum subsystems and
modules were aboard the mission, reflecting our longstanding contribution to the country's space
capabilities.
Overall, the strong order book, improved execution, specific systems wins, and healthy
opportunity pipeline reinforce our confidence in the BTS growth outlook. Turning now to EMS,
the business also delivered strong performance, growing 41% year-on-year and approximately
42% sequentially.
For the first half, revenue increased by 32% year-on-year. The EMS order book grew by 30%
year-on-year, supported by healthy demand, improving delivery execution, and the ramp-up of
new customer programs. In semiconductor equipment, we continue to see strong traction, with
deliveries ramping up and demand increasing across both existing and new products.
This is a strong validation of our manufacturing quality, execution capability, and
competitiveness against established global EMS companies in a technically demanding supply
chain. We also secured three new marquee customer wins across defense, transportation, and
industrial segments. These wins broaden our customer base and reduce dependence on any single
end market.
A major focus for us in the next quarters is the prototyping qualification of these new product
wins. Our teams are working with customers to complete the engineering validation,
industrialization, qualification, and initial production builds. This will position us for the
sustained growth over the coming years.
We continue to see attractive opportunities in the industrial, automotive, and medical,
particularly as global customers pursue localization in India and diversify their supply chains.
We are also advancing our design-led manufacturing strategy with some of our strategic
customers.
Supply chain, however, remains the principal near-term bottleneck. Shortages in selected
memories, controllers, MLCCs, and PCBs are extending lead times and increasing component
prices, inventory requirements, and working capital. We are working closely with supply
partners, component manufacturers, and customers to mitigate these impacts.

During the quarter, we also received the CII National Energy Management Award for 2026 for
the second consecutive year. This also reinforces our commitment to our ESG and continuous
improvement programs. To summarize, we delivered strong first-half performance with robust
growth across BTS and EMS, a large order book, important systems and customer wins, and
increasing deliveries across key programs.
As we move into the second half, our priorities are clear, is execute the existing order book,
secure material availability, convert the opportunity pipeline, complete prototype and
qualification milestones,
