Pune, Pune, Maharashtra, India - 412308 Mobile: +91-7720018914 Affordable Robotic and Automation Limited Pune, August 13, 2026, Affordable Robotic and Automation Limited (ARAPL) (BSE: 541402) (NSE: AFFORDABLE), Posts Q1-FY27 Performance. Affordable Robotics and Automation Limited is India’s first listed robotics company and a pioneer in industrial automation, with more than a decade of experience. ARAPL is in business of fixed robots since 2005 in India, serving total 75 marquee clients including Honda, SKH-Magna, Mahindra, Tata Motors, Piaggio and others. Its in-house R&D capability, cost-efficient solutions, and IP-led business model have enabled it to scale across sectors and geographies. The Company started a subsidiary in 2021 to focus on autonomous mobility sector. It had launched various autonomous robots in US through it brand name Humro. It is actively looking to enter deep into this space of autonomous vehicles by strategically partnering with aligned partners and using its autonomy tech stack in other vehicles too. Performance – Standalone (Amt. in Lakhs) Q1-FY27 Q1-FY26 Sr. Particulars (Unaudited) (Unaudited) I Net Revenue from Operations 905.73 1876.75 II Other Income 5.87 5.40 III Total Revenue (I+II) 911.60 1882.15 Expenses: Cost of materials consumed 583.42 1365.74 Employee benefits expense 389.63 451.49 Other Expense 266.43 266.21 IV Total Expenses 1,239.49 2,083.44 V EBITDA (327.89) (201.29) Depreciation & amortization expense 55.00 37.89 Finance costs 97.25 121.28 VI Profit / (Loss) Before Tax (480.14) (360.46) VII Tax Expenses - - VIII Profit / (Loss) After Tax (480.14) (360.46) 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.
