The short read
Kilburn Engineering reported Q1 FY27 consolidated revenue of approximately INR117 crores with EBITDA of INR24.2 crores and an EBITDA margin of 20.1%, which management attributed to timing of customer deliveries and deferment of project execution rather than weaker demand. Management said order inflows for the current financial year to date stood at approximately INR190 crores at the group level, and the inquiry pipeline remained around INR4,000 crores across sectors and geographies. Management reiterated its FY27 target of around INR700 crores in consolidated revenue with a 20% EBITDA margin, describing the year as second-half weighted.

p. 9
“We do not want to predict minute-to-minute kind of a revenue model because a lot of our jobs need certain milestones to be achieved to recognize revenue.”
