Q&A highlights

5 direct

Impact of PCB price increase and DRAM shortage on business Direct

So, its EMS business, currently, we have already some of the locking price and so we do not have that much impact directly indirectly at this point. And because we are not the end user. And what we do, we communicate with our customer and make sure they are prepared. So, we transfer that cost to our customers. So at this point, Aimtron's book, yes, we have some semiconductor shortage, but we do not have that any pricing impact at this point on our EBITDA or on our PAT.

Clarifies that the company can pass on increased raw material costs, insulating its margins from supply chain volatility.

Asked by Ashutosh Shukla

Competitive impact of L&T entering EMS/ESDM space Direct

So, I think we already in the previous call, we already shared some of the information that this is a huge pie, $1 trillion pie, a pizza. It's not, even L&T can eat everything. So, there is always a way if you have a niche market, if you have a specialty business, you have a harden electronics, you have some special things, then there is no way they can beat us.

Addresses concerns about increased competition by emphasizing Aimtron's focus on niche markets and specialized electronics, differentiating itself from larger players.

Asked by Ashutosh Shukla

Negative cash flow and clarification on loans and advances Partial

Yes. Akshay, ₹16.8 crores is given to Aimtron LLC in Texas, Aimtron Electronics LLC in Texas to acquisition. And that is the part of the payment we did from our acquisition from Aimtron International Controls. So, that is the money you see over the cash flow.

Clarifies a specific financial line item related to cash outflow, attributing it to the acquisition of Aimtron LLC, rather than general lending.

Asked by Akshay Kaila

Reasons for gross margin decrease from H1 to H2 FY26 Direct

And initially, like there are a couple of orders from ODM models which got from ODM got shifted to manufacturing and a couple of geopolitical reasons where shipment costs were on higher side, supply chain constraints were there. So considering all that aspects, there are going to be minor fluctuations here and there. But if you see the complete year, then probably we are going to be in line with what we have been projecting.

Provides context for quarterly margin fluctuations, attributing them to specific operational shifts and external factors, while reassuring that full-year projections remain on track.

Asked by Taher

Impact of Box Build vs PCBA mix on EBITDA margin Partial

It's more of a combination of that mode itself because that is getting more of a value addition chain. So, for instance, initially, with our existing customers, we were just doing PCB, just an example I'm giving, where from there, we shifted back to complete Box Build or complete system integration. So for instance, initially, the PCBA value would be ₹1,000, which has now increased that turnaround to ₹2,000 or ₹1,500. So, bottom line still remains the same to what we stood before or it has rather like been on the positive side, where even it has helped us for top line as well. So it is a combination of top line as well as bottom line.

Explains that while the mix has shifted, the increase in value addition and order size maintains or improves the overall bottom line, rather than a direct margin percentage change.

Asked by Sumit Chopra

Rationale and synergy of the ICS (now AIC) acquisition Partial

So coming back to, main is rugged electronics. Rugged electronics means a lot of is indoor work? Is it correct? We are doing indoor. Let's say, a home automation is an indoor, but we are doing outdoor, out to the sun over there. Let's say farming equipment. The equipment is kind of more moisture or rugged or cooling or powering. So, those are the expertise they have, plus they have some agritech IP.

Highlights the strategic value of the AIC acquisition in rugged electronics and agritech IP, expanding Aimtron's capabilities and market reach.

Asked by Shaurya Sajwani

AIC's current 11% EBITDA margin and path to Aimtron's target margins Direct

So if you see, Jigar, after we acquired, we almost slashed a lot of expenses. We're using a lot of our Indian talents over there in the back end. Let's say, they have four people in purchasing. Now we have only 1% in purchasing and three people over here. So from 11% to jump to already 15% right there. I should give a range, but just give you 11% to let's say, 11% to 12% double-digit, we had some low double-digit. So, now we are in mid-double-digit now.

Details the operational steps taken to improve AIC's profitability post-acquisition, including cost cutting and talent optimization, with a clear trajectory towards higher margins.

Asked by Jigar Jani

Details and opportunity for the ₹100 crores data center order Direct

So as I stated, we are making UPS for that. There are six variants, three subcategories, 1 kV, 2 kV, 3 kV with battery, without battery that are going to be used in data centres, EPC and commissioning as a backup. And as of now, it's a Fortune 500 company. And certainly, if you see can be as big as like last year's revenue as well. But again, it is not going to be immediate and one shot. It is going to be a long-term association.

Provides specific product details and highlights the significant long-term revenue potential from a major data center client, indicating a key growth driver.

Detailed narrative

Strong Financial Performance in FY26

Aimtron Electronics Limited delivered robust financial results for FY26, with consolidated revenue from operations growing by 89.2% year-on-year to ₹301.2 crores, up from ₹159.2 crores in FY25. Profit after tax (PAT) also saw a significant increase of 79.7%, reaching ₹46 crores compared to ₹25.6 crores in the previous fiscal year. The company maintained healthy profitability, with an EBITDA margin of 22.6% and a PAT margin of 15.3% for FY26. For H2 FY26 specifically, revenue was ₹178.6 crores, marking a 45.7% growth over H1 FY26, with EBITDA of ₹36.9 crores and PAT of ₹25.7 crores.

Strategic Shift to ESDM and Design-Led Manufacturing

Aimtron has strategically transitioned its focus from traditional PCB assembly (EMS) to Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) and ODM-led (Original Design Manufacturer) activities. This shift emphasizes design-led manufacturing and aims to build a more professional, scalable, and future-ready organization. The company's 'Aimtron 2.0' vision focuses on strengthening core electronics manufacturing capabilities and expanding its global presence, as evidenced by recent acquisitions and certifications. This strategic redirection is reflected in the improved financial performance and enhanced value addition.

Robust Order Book and Pipeline

The company reported a strong open order book of approximately ₹600 crores as of March 2026, encompassing both Aimtron India and Aimtron International Controls. This order book provides a revenue visibility of 12 to 16 months. Additionally, Aimtron has a significant pipeline of potential orders valued at $70-80 million (approximately ₹581-664 crores). Exports contribute a substantial 20-25% to the current order book, highlighting the company's growing international clientele and geographic diversification.

Acquisition and Integration of Aimtron International Controls (AIC)

Aimtron successfully acquired a company in Decatur, Illinois, which has been renamed Aimtron International Controls (AIC). This acquisition contributed $1.6 million in revenue over two months. Initially, AIC operated with early double-digit EBITDA margins, around 11%. However, through strategic cost-cutting measures and leveraging Indian talent, Aimtron aims to significantly improve AIC's EBITDA margins to 18-20% by mid-FY27, bringing it closer to Aimtron's consolidated margin levels. The integration is progressing well, with AIC already operational and generating revenue.

Sectoral Expansion and Certifications

Aimtron has expanded its presence into several new and high-growth sectors, including agrotech, aerospace and defense (achieving AS9100D certification), and railways, where RDSO approvals are currently in progress and expected by the first half or third quarter of FY27. The company has also secured trusted telecom partner status. Key contributing sectors include industrial, telecom, power, and IoT/robotics. Notable projects include providing UPS systems for a Fortune 500 data center company and AI dashboard cameras for the Gujarat State Road Transportation Corporation (GSRTC).

Future Growth and Capacity Expansion

Management has set ambitious targets, aiming for a 40-50% CAGR revenue growth over the next couple of years, with an ultimate goal of reaching a ₹1,000 crore revenue journey. For FY27, a conservative revenue target of ₹550-600 crores is projected. Consolidated EBITDA margins are expected to be maintained in the 20-22% range, with PAT margins around 15%. While current capex for existing operations is minimal, the company plans to establish a new Mechatronics facility with SMT lines, with the mechanical part expected to be operational by Q3 FY27 and SMT lines by Q1 FY28.

Key Risks and Mitigation Strategies

Aimtron acknowledges potential risks, primarily from supply chain disruptions, which have led to increased inventory levels due to chip shortages and price volatility. Geopolitical situations also pose a concern, influencing market stability and causing the company to put M&A plans on hold. However, management emphasizes its strong infrastructure, including owned land and buildings, and proactive communication with customers to transfer costs and manage supply chain constraints, thereby mitigating these risks.
