Financial Highlights – Standalone (Q1 – YoY Comparison)
● Revenue stood at Rs.911.60 lakhs for Q1-FY27, against Rs.1882.15 lakhs in Q1-FY26. The decline
was on account of timing of dispatches, with sales of approximately Rs.13 Crore originally scheduled
for Q1 shipped and billed in Q2-FY27 due to project execution phasing on a few large orders. These
sales now stand recognised in the current quarter, and we expect a correspondingly stronger Q2.
● EBITDA loss was Rs.327.89 lakhs against Rs.201.29 lakhs in the corresponding quarter last year,
largely reflecting the operating deleverage from the lower billed revenue in the quarter rather than any
underlying cost pressure.
● Employee Benefits Expense declined by 13.7% YoY, reflecting continued cost discipline and
operational efficiency measures even as the topline mix shifted between quarters.
● Loss Before Tax was Rs.480.14 lakhs against Rs.360.46 lakhs in Q1-FY26, consistent with the
revenue phasing explained above.
Order Book and Growth Outlook
From, June -26 to till date we have booked additional Orders worth Rs.22 Crores.
As of August 2026, our confirmed order book on which we are working is of approximately Rs.149 Crore,
providing strong revenue visibility for the remainder of FY27. The Rs.13 Crore of sales that moved from Q1
into Q2 are already being executed, and combined with the healthy pipeline, we expect a meaningfully
stronger performance over the coming quarters.

Financial Highlights – Consolidated (Q1 – YoY Comparison)
● Consolidated Revenue was Rs.1,108.82 lakhs for Q1-FY27 against Rs.1886.56 lakhs in Q1-FY26,
similarly impacted by the Rs.13 Crore of standalone dispatches that moved into Q2.
● Consolidated EBITDA loss stood at Rs.327.89 lakhs against Rs.196.88 lakhs in the corresponding
quarter, and Loss Before Tax was Rs.480.14 lakhs against Rs.368.85 lakhs, both driven by the same
revenue-timing effect.
● Our Humro (ARAPL RaaS) business continues to build on the momentum from FY26, and we
remain focused on scaling execution across our robotics and automation platforms.
Business Updates
● ARAPL RaaS has announced a strategic investment of ₹48 Crore in the company, reflecting strong
investor conviction in Humro ‘s mission to build a world-class autonomous robotics business. The
Share Subscription Agreement (SSA) has been signed to give effect to the investment, and the first

● Deployment of 16 robots already completed, another 8 are in POCs for customer trials.
