Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, good day and welcome to the Q1 FY27 Earnings Call for Aequs Limited.
As a reminder, all participants' lines will be in listen-only mode and there will be an opportunity
for you to ask questions after the presentation concludes. Should you need assistance during this
conference call, please signal an operator by pressing star, then zero on your touchtone phone.
I now hand over the conference to Mr. Manav Poal from EY. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Manav Poal: Thank you. Good evening to all the participants on the call and thank you for joining in. We
welcome you to the Q1 FY27 Earnings Call of Aequs Limited. Before we proceed, let me remind
you that the discussion may contain forward-looking statements that may involve known or
unknown uncertainties and other factors. These statements should be viewed together with our
business risks, which may lead to actual results and performance differing materially from what
is expressed or implied.
To take us through the results and answer your questions today, we have the management of
Aequs Limited represented by Mr. Aravind Melligeri, Executive Chairman and CEO; Mr.
Rajeev Kaul, Co-founder and Managing Director; Mr. Harish Bang, Vice President of Finance.
We will start the call with a brief overview of the previous quarter and then conduct the Q&A
session.
With that said, I'll now hand the call over to Aravind sir.
Aravind Melligeri: Good evening, everyone and thank you for joining us. Q1 FY27 marks a strong start to the year
we described in our Investor Day, a year about translating our expanded capacity into the
financial returns. This quarter demonstrated exactly the beginning of that translation.
Consolidated revenue grew 55% year-on-year to INR3,955 million, up 8% sequentially on what
was already the strongest quarter in our history. Growth was broad-based, aerospace grew 40%
year-on-year and our consumer segment nearly tripled, reflecting the consumer electronics ramp
at Hubballi. Consumer contributed 19% of our revenue this quarter, up from 10% the year ago.
I want to address the profitability picture directly because the headline and the substance point
in different directions this quarter. Reported EBITDA at INR215 million is lower than the Q4,
but that movement is mainly due to other income, foreign exchange, which was unusually high
in the Q4.
On the operational basis, excluding the other income, EBITDA improved from INR42 million
in Q4 to INR148 million, a more than three-fold sequential improvement, driven by narrowing
consumer loss. That operational trajectory, not the currency line, is the measure of execution and
it's moving exactly as we committed. Our consumer segment EBITDA loss narrowed by INR112
million sequentially. The path to consumer EBITDA breakeven by Q4 '27 now has its first
quarterly proof point.
Let me share the highlights from Farnborough, which just came back from there last week, from
which our strongest airshow yet. We signed long-term agreements with two new aerostructure

Tier-1 customers, expanding our global base. And we signed our first contract for fully
integrated Airbus A320 wheels with Safran Landing Systems.
Aequs will deliver completely assembled wheels built from India-sourced aerospace-qualified
aluminum with forging, machining, surface treatment, and assembly, all within the Belagavi
Aerospace ecosystem. That is 100% Make in India for a flight-critical product. Notably, these
wins come after a quarter-end order book of over USD1 billion.
You should see these new wins reflect in the next quarter’s order book. Given the scale and the
delivery of requirements of these new wins, we are evaluating acceleration of aerospace capex
plan to ensure that required capacity is available in line with our customer timelines.
Our FY27 priorities are unchanged from what we set out in May. First, grow aerospace revenue
profitably 25% to 30% with a segment EBITDA margins above 20%. Q1 delivered 40% growth
at a 23% segment margin. Second, drive consumer utilization to unlock the operating leverage
embedded in our existing asset base. Third, move our consumer EBITDA breakeven by Q4
FY27, which will be a major inflection point in our consolidated profitability.
At a consolidated level, we continue to expect approximately 45% to 50% top-line revenue
growth for the full year with the doubling of our operational EBITDA, a target that is weighted
to the second half as consumer utilization builds through the year.
Since our listing, we have seen exceptional broadening of our shareholder base and a rapid
deepening of our investor engagement with our long-term manufacturing story. In a remarkable
short period, we have achieved a breadth of shareholder participation that the manufacturing
companies typically take several years to build, an acknowledgment of our strength and our
differentiated platform and the magnitude of the opportunity before us.
On the CFO transition, as communicated in May, Dinesh Iyer has stepped down at the end of
June and our search for a full-time CFO is progressing well. In the interim, Harish Bang is
leading our finance function and he will take you through the financials shortly.
With that, I'll hand over to Rajeev Kaul, Co-founder and Managing Director, to take you through
the operating performance.
Rajeev Kaul: Thank you, Aravind, and good evening everyone. I'll begin with our aerospace performance.
Aerospace revenue increased by 40% year-on-year and 6% sequentially to INR3,222 million.
The growth was supported by higher customer build, rates and the progression of additional parts
into production.
During the quarter, we added 86 new parts, further expanding one of India's most extensive
aerospace manufacturing portfolio to 5,740 parts. The defining achievement of the quarter was
our aerospace order book crossing the USD1 billion mark, following a 13% sequential increase
from USD889 million. This milestone is a powerful validation of the trust placed in Aequs by
leading
