What could break the thesis?
Long-term borrowings increased significantly from Rs. 4.31 Cr to Rs. 32.94 Cr in FY25 to fund expansion, though the Debt-Equity ratio remains healthy at 0.23x due to a large increase in net worth. (3 stable, 1 easing, 1 intensifying, 1 high-severity)
“Our PTS division is going with the capex of 100 crores... We are going ahead for the capex under AGPL for developing of the facility of electrolyzers and BESS. Here we are going with the total capex of about INR180 crores to INR200 crores”
Consolidated EBITDA margins are intensifying downward, dropping to 11.61% in Q1FY26 from 13.49% in Q1FY25, driven by lower-margin subsidiary performance. (5 intensifying)
“Advait Green on its own will go for the divestment for raising about 100 crores and that is already on”
The Current Ratio has improved significantly to 2.3 in FY25 from 1.4 in FY24, suggesting better liquidity management, although specific receivable days are not detailed in this presentation. (1 easing, 4 intensifying)
“Trade Receivable ... FY24 39.88 ... H1FY26 102.72”
The risk remains high but shows signs of easing as the order book mix for the New & Renewable Energy (NRE) division has increased to 34% of the total Rs. 800 Cr unexecuted orders, compared to previous levels where PTS was more dominant. (3 easing, 2 stable, 1 high-severity)
“Order Book as of Dec 2025 (Rs Cr) ... PTS Divison 84% ... NRE Division 16%”
Profit margins for the consolidated entity have seen a significant decline compared to the previous year, suggesting that newer business lines or subsidiaries may be operating at lower profitability levels. [MARGIN_COST]
“EBITDA Margin ... 9MFY26 11% ... 9MFY25 16%”
