Affordable Robotic & Automation Ltd — earnings calls

Affordable Robotic & Automation reported a transformation year with standalone EBITDA margin expanding from about 9% to 14.45% and consolidated results turning from a loss to a profit, driven by a focus on selective, more profitable project execution rather than revenue growth. The company secured a Rs 48 crore strategic investment into its Humro warehouse automation subsidiary and reported an order book of roughly Rs 36 crore in lease model orders and Rs 60 crore in pipeline outright sales for Humro, alongside Rs 127 crore of combined order book in the automation and car parking verticals. Management discussed delays in customer timelines, a paused Dallas partnership, and ongoing discussions for a US inventory partnership to reduce lead times.
