Ajax Engineering Limited has released the transcript of its conference call with analysts and investors held on May 19, 2026. The call discussed the company's financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026.
During the call, the management highlighted that India's infrastructure sector remains a key growth driver, supported by government initiatives. Despite near-term challenges such as slower government spending and delays in payments by key states, Ajax Engineering reported total revenue of ₹2,103 crores for FY26, a modest growth from ₹2,074 crores in FY25. SLCM revenue stood at ₹1,758 crores, largely flat year-on-year, while non-SLCM revenue grew by 7% and spares and service revenue increased by 9%.
EBITDA for FY26 was ₹266 crores, with an EBITDA margin of 12.6%, compared to ₹318 crores and 15.3% in FY25. This decline was attributed to higher production costs due to the transition to CEV5 emission norms and lower volumes. However, the company's Q4 FY26 performance showed a strong turnaround with total revenue at ₹758 crores (flat year-on-year) and EBITDA at ₹115 crores, growing by 4% year-on-year, with EBITDA margin improving to 15.1%.
The company emphasized its resilience, maintaining market share despite an industry slowdown. SLCM volume degrowth was limited to 4% compared to an industry decline of 11%. Ajax Engineering also highlighted its strong cash position with a balance of ₹1,121 crores as of March 2026 and a net working capital reduction to 21 days, the lowest in five years.
Looking ahead, the management expressed confidence in long-term growth prospects driven by India's infrastructure development and the transition towards mechanized construction. Key priorities for the next fiscal year include growing the SLCM business, focusing on the non-SLCM segment (batching plants and pumps), driving revenues from the 'Udaan' initiative, continuing export growth, and managing costs effectively. The company is also exploring opportunities for better utilization of its cash reserves through potential M&A activities in the second half of the year.
