Unknown Analyst

Good evening, everyone, and a warm welcome to you all. My name is Pavanki Jain from Valorem Advisors. We represent the Investor Relations of Vishnu Prakash R Punglia Limited.

On behalf of the company, I'd like to thank you all for participating in the company's earnings call for the fourth quarter and full financial year ended 2025.

Before we begin, let me mention a short cautionary statement. Some of the statements made in today's earnings call may be forward-looking in nature. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from than anticipated. Such statements are based on management's beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the management.

Audiences are cautioned not to place any undue reliance on these forward-looking statements in making any investment decisions.

The purpose of today's earnings call is purely to educate and bring awareness of the company's fundamental business and financial quarter under review.

Now let me introduce you to the management participating with us in today's earnings call and hand it over to them for their opening remarks. We have with us Mr. Manohar Lal Punglia, Managing Director; Mr. Jayant Punglia, Project Coordinator; and Mr. Sarfaraz Ahmed, Chief Financial Officer.

Without any delay, I hand it over to Mr. Manohar Lal Punglia. Thank you, and over to you, sir.

Thank you, ma'am. [Foreign Language]

Sarfaraz Ahmed

Thank you, sir. Good evening, everyone. Starting with the fourth quarter of financial year '25, our revenue from operations stood at INR 405 crores, which decreased by around 38% year-on-year basis. The EBITDA was reported at around INR 46 crores, which decreased by around 57% year-on-year basis with the EBITDA margin reported at 11.26%.

Net profit for the quarter stood at around INR 16 crores, which has declined by 76% on a yearly basis.

PAT margin for the quarter stood at 4%.

Now coming to the financial highlights for the full year. Our revenue from operations stands at INR 1,237 crores, which decreased by around 16% year-on-year. EBITDA was around INR 155 crores, representing a year-on-year decline around 26% with EBITDA margin at 12.56%.

Net profit for the whole year was approximately INR 59 crores, reflecting 52% decline year-on-year basis. The PAT margin stood at 4.74%.

The key factor behind the revenue decline over the year was the persistent delay in payment realization, which affected execution time line and overall billing.

On the profitability front, the impact came from higher finance costs and increased provisioning taken during the year to account for working capital pressure and associated risk.

Despite these temporary setbacks, we remain confident in the long-term fundamentals of the business with the government having stranded several infrastructure projects and budget allocation. Now flowing through, we expect a significant improvement in acquisition in the main quarters.

Now I will request Mr. Jayant Punglia to provide the operational highlights for the quarter under review.

J
Jayant Pungalia
executive

Thank you, sir. Good evening, everyone. The company has successfully secured new orders worth INR 1,851 crores during the current financial year of railway, water supply, civil works and other sectors, reflecting strong business growth and sustained market confidence.

As on 31st March 2025, our total order book stands at approximately INR 5,362 crores, providing strong revenue visibility for the coming years.

Internally, we remain committed to operational efficiency, backward integration and maintaining cost discipline. We continued to invest in stability such as in-house manufacturing testing labs and maintenance infrastructure to support project delivery and margin strategy.

On the growth front, we see significant headroom ahead. Our bidding pipeline remains robust with potential orders worth INR 4,500 crores expected to be finalized in the coming months. We remain active in pursuing opportunities across our core verticals to sustain a healthy and growing order book, thereby ensuring long-term business continuity and stability.

To conclude, we are optimistic about the year ahead. Despite sectoral headwinds, we are confident in our ability to deliver on growth, execute efficiently and create long-term value for all stakeholders.

With this, we can now open the floor for question-and-answer session.
