Management Comments :
Mr. Ashish Garg, Managing Director, Happy Forgings, said: ?We have commenced FY27 on a strong note, with quarterly revenue reaching a record high of nearly Rs.450 Crs., up 27.0% YoY and 6.0% sequentially. Growth was driven by a healthy 23.1% YoY increase in finished goods sales volumes, while average realisations improved by 3.2% YoY, reflecting continued progress in product mix and value addition. This translated into strong profitability, with Gross Profit, EBITDA and PAT growing by 33.1%, 39.3% and 39.2% YoY, respectively. Growth during the quarter was broad-based across all business segments, reflecting healthy demand across both domestic and export markets. Domestic demand remained strong across the CV, PV, Farm Equipment and Off Highway segments, resulting in appx. 25% YoY growth, while strengthening demand in export markets led to export revenues increasing by over 30% YoY. The quarter marked another milestone in our profitability journey, with Gross, EBITDA and PAT margins improving YoY and maintained at record levels. EBITDA margin remained above 30% for the fourth consecutive quarter, while PAT margin exceeded 20% for the first time, reflecting the continued benefits of an improving product mix, higher value addition and operating leverage. These outcomes reinforce the structural resilience of our business model and our ability to consistently deliver profitable growth. Diversification gathered momentum during the quarter, with exports contributing 28% of revenue, while Passenger Vehicle and Industrial shares increased to 8% and 16%, respectively. Our incremental order book, largely led by exports, Passenger Vehicles and Industrials, provides visibility on additional annual revenue ramping up to appx. Rs. 950 Crs. over the next 2?3 years. Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the growth outlook for FY27. Supported by improving industry demand and ramp-up of recently secured business, we expect production and sales volumes to strengthen progressively over the course of the year, enabling better utilisation of our ongoing investments in manufacturing capacity and advanced machining capabilities. Our strategic initiatives also continue to progress well. Installation of equipment for our ultra-heavy component manufacturing facilities is expected to be completed by the end of the financial year, positioning us for the commencement of commercial revenues from FY28 onwards. In parallel, execution of our captive solar power project remains on track and is expected to begin contributing to operating cost efficiencies from FY28. As we continue to invest in expanding our capabilities, strengthening customer relationships and enhancing operational excellence, we remain confident of sustaining profitable growth.?
