Jash Engineering addresses tariff impact on US business & revises bottom line projection
The tariff is expected to negatively impact Rodney Hunt's bottom line and top line. While mitigation strategies are being implemented, the immediate financial impact leads to a medium impact assessment.
The announcement discusses the negative impact of tariffs on the company's US business and the revision of its bottom-line projections, indicating a potentially adverse financial situation.
* Jash Engineering addresses concerns regarding the impact of tariffs between India and the US on its US business, Rodney Hunt Inc. * Rodney Hunt decides on manufacturing location (US or India) based on delivery timelines (less than four months necessitates US manufacturing), BABA Act compliance (requiring 65% value addition in the US until 2028, increasing to 75% by 2029), and US facility capabilities. * A 50% tariff on iron and steel products from India is in effect since June 4, 2025, impacting costs of components sent from India to the US. * For existing orders, Rodney Hunt will likely absorb the tariff costs. New quotes will include the tariff. * Jash clarifies that the 50% tariff applies to most international manufacturers, potentially making Rodney Hunt competitive due to Jash's lower production costs in India. * In FY25, Rodney Hunt USA's revenue was $34 million (₹283.88 crore approx.), with $10 million (₹83.5 crore approx.) subject to the tariff. * Anticipated impact: $2-2.5 million (₹16.7 crore - ₹20.87 crore approx.) hit to Rodney Hunt's bottom line and $2-3 million (₹16.7 crore - ₹25.05 crore approx.) impact on top line due to tariff unpredictability. * Consolidated bottom line projection revised from ₹100+ crore to ₹80+ crore, while maintaining consolidated revenue at ₹860 crore. * Mitigation strategies include: * Acquisition of Westec USA's Indian operations (expected to add ₹60 crore to topline). * Acquisition of a company in Midlands, UK. * Prioritizing construction of a manufacturing facility in Houston, TX, by early 2026, commissioning by 2026 end. * Contemplating setting up a plant in Saudi Arabia, with operations to start by early 2027. * The company expects the fall in bottom line is restricted to the current year and new orders would not be subjected to any fall in bottom line. So next year onwards company should be back in line to meet 12-14% range for consolidated profit.
