Q1 FY27 Earnings Conference Call Transcript
July 28, 2026
Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, good day, and welcome to earnings conference call of
Usha Martin Limited. As a reminder, all participant line will be in the listen-only
mode and there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions after the
presentation concludes. Should you need assistance during the conference call,
please signal an operator by pressing star then zero on your touch-tone phone.
Please note that this conference is being recorded. I now hand the conference
over to Mr. Devrishi Singh from CDR India. Thank you, and over to you.
Devrishi Singh: Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us on Usha Martin's Q1 FY27
earnings conference call. We have with us Mr. Rajeev Jhawar, Managing
Director of the Company; Mr. Abhijit Paul, Chief Financial Officer; and Ms.
Shreya Jhawar, Director of the Company. We hope all of you have had the
opportunity to refer to the earnings documents that we shared with you earlier.
We will initiate the call with opening remarks from the management, following
which we will open the forum for a Q&A session.
Before we begin, I would like to point out that some statements made in
today's call may be forward-looking in nature, and a disclaimer to this effect
has been included in the earnings presentation. I would now like to invite Ms.
Shreya Jhawar to make opening remarks.
Shreya Jhawar: Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for Usha Martin's
earnings conference call for the first quarter of FY27. I will begin with a brief
overview of our performance and the key business developments during the
quarter, following which our CFO, Mr. Abhijit Paul, will take you through the
financials in greater detail.
We have made a strong start to FY27. Consolidated revenue increased by 16%
year-on-year to INR 1,033 crore. Operating EBITDA stood at INR 208 crore, a
44% increase year-on-year with an EBITDA margin of 20.1%.
What is particularly encouraging is the quality of this growth. Across our
businesses, value grew faster than volume, reflecting improved realizations and
our continued shift towards specialized products. You will see this trend
through each of the verticals I now take you through.
Starting with wire ropes — Value growth was strong at 18% year-on-year even
as overall volumes were marginally lower. I want to highlight that the volume
decline was largely due to the Middle East operations. Across our other key

markets, India, the U.S. and Europe, we saw healthy volume growth and our
geographic diversification helped the overall rope business remain robust.
In the domestic market, rope volumes grew approximately 12% year-on-year,
while value grew around 21%, supported by healthy demand across crane,
elevator and fishing segments.
The U.S. and Europe both had strong quarters. In the U.S., growth came mainly
from elevator and mining segments, while in Europe, we saw good traction
across oil and offshore renewables and value-added services.
Now coming to the Middle East operations, — volumes were down
approximately 28% due to continued geopolitical and market disruptions.
However, realizations improved by approximately 36% on the back of better
pricing and a more favorable mix, which allowed us to hold revenues broadly at
last year's levels. Even in a challenging market, the strength of our portfolio
protected our business.
Now turning to wires — The business delivered healthy growth during the
quarter with volumes up approximately 19% and revenue growing around 32%
year-on-year. The wires portfolio today is largely domestic driven, and exports
represent a significant growth opportunity for us. We have already begun
supplying to select European customers in high-value applications such as
automotive and rockfall protection, and we see considerable headroom to
scale this as we secure further approvals and deepen our coverage in these
markets.
On plasticated LRPC, - the business continued to gain traction, supported by
healthy demand both in the domestic and export markets. A key milestone this
quarter was our first international order for plasticated LRPC strand for a stay
cable application. This is an important step. As further approvals mature, it
opens up meaningful opportunities to expand internationally. This will be
central to how we compete in the LRPC segment, where black LRPC has
become largely commoditized, while plasticated offers genuine differentiation
and better value.
Coming to Oceanfibre, Oceanfibre continues to build momentum. While it
remains a small part of the overall business, we are encouraged by the progress
across offshore and heavy lifting applications and the pipeline of opportunities
ahead. This segment complements our core product portfolio, and we see it as
an important growth lever for the Company going forward.
Overall, I would like to highlight 4 broader points from the quarter:
First, the improvement in performance reflects our shift towards high-value
products and applications. Over the past few years, we have made sustained
investments in strengthening our manufacturing and R&D capabilities,
enabling us to address technically demanding applications across global
markets.

Many of these products require extensive development, testing and customer
qualification, creating meaningful barriers to entry. Our growing track record
of approvals and successful field performance validates this strategy with the
benefit increasingly visible this quarter across our rope portfolio, value-added
wires, plasticated LRPC and Oceanfibre.
Second, we were able to protect profitability and expand margins despite a
significant increase in key input and logistics costs. Wire rod prices were
approximately 7% higher year-on-year, while zinc prices increased by around
28%. Freight costs also remain elevated. We implemented pricing actions
across segments to pass through these increases. Together with improvement
in product mix, cost discipline and operating efficiencies, this enabled us to
expand EBITDA margins to 20.1%.
Third, profitability translated directly into cash. We generated operating cash
flow of approximately INR 242 crore, representing cash conversion of 116% of
operating EBITDA and closed the quarter with a net cash position of
approximately INR 465 crore.
Fourth, this balance sheet strength allows us to keep investing confidently in
the future growth.
