Does management do what it says?
The company reported an EBITDA margin of 38%-39% (including interest income), which is significantly higher than the guided range. (1 exceeded, 1 met across 2 tracked commitments)
“If you see the operational EBITDA, it will be around 30%-31%, and we will be able to maintain that. Atul Tiwari: Even over the medium 3-4 years. Barenya Senapati: Yes.”
Deliveries of the LCA Mark-1A were delayed due to ongoing technical refinements and engine supply issues from GE. The company now expects to start deliveries in August or September 2026. (1 revised across 1 tracked commitment)
“And we expect that in this financial year; we will be able to come to a conclusion of this deal [with GE for F414 engines].”
The company reported a turnover increase of 7% for FY25, falling short of the double-digit target. Adjusted for a one-time impact, growth was 7.25%. (2 missed, 1 revised across 3 tracked commitments)
“But the guidance is 8%-10%, and it may so happen a double-digit growth from next year onwards.”
HAL is targeting the high-end UCAV (Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles) market and is currently building prototypes.
“What we are looking at is the UCAV, Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles... And we have come to a stage where we are building the prototypes and testing the different technologies like the data link, the engines and so on.”
HAL aims to ramp up LCA Mark 1A production capacity to 24 units by FY27 and eventually to 30 units within two years with private sector support. — target: 24 to 30 units
“The 24 aircraft will happen in '26-'27... In '27-'28 we will be able to get the full advantage of all the investments in the private sector. So, I would say in the next two years, we would be able to reach that number of 30.”
