Q&A highlights
Management's answers to analyst questions, in Parakho's words rather than a transcript. Each row names who answered and carries the verbatim quote it was drawn from.
Management said capacity was doubled ahead of schedule and the factory is running at full utilization, sometimes 24 hours a day.
Answered by Management

p. 5
“Ma'am, we have already increased our capacity; we doubled it as committed.”
Management, page 5 of the filed PDF · View the filing
Management said the product mix will shift toward formwork, which carries lower margins, so the 40% EBITDA margin may fluctuate but the company expects to maintain the range.
Answered by Management
Asked by Nishita Shanklesha - Sapphire Capital: Are the current EBITDA and PAT margins sustainable going forward?
p. 6
“The product mix is going to change in the current financial year. We are adding a new product, which is aluminum formwork.”
Management, page 6 of the filed PDF · View the filing
Management said sales orders are short-tenure so price changes can be passed to customers, but rental yields are harder to adjust and the company absorbs some cost there.
Answered by Management
Asked by Vishvender Singh - Prudent Equity: How is the company managing raw material price escalation, especially in aluminum?
p. 7
“Our orders are for a maximum of 7 days, so we are able to pass on any increase or decrease to the customer.”

Answered by Management
Asked by Keshav Garg - Counter Cyclical Investments: Will margins decline as lower-margin segments like steel and formwork grow as a share of the mix?
p. 10
“The EBITDA percentage may come down, but topline growth will be higher.”

Management said internal topline expectations are higher than indicated and any margin hit would be compensated by higher volume, with depreciation absorbed by higher revenue.

Risks flagged
Aluminum rental yields may face pressure from margin absorption during raw material price increases since rental rates are hard to adjust upward
p. 7
“In the rental yield, however, increasing rentals is quite difficult. Since our margins in the rental segment are already quite substantial, we have to absorb a bit of it.”
Management, page 7 of the filed PDF · View the filing

p. 15
“Yes, it is a regular part of this business.”

Potential margin decline as lower-margin steel scaffolding and formwork segments grow as a share of revenue mix
