    Q&A highlights

    8

    “So most of our orders are fixed price mechanism orders only and the pass-through doesn't work because we procure raw material at a different point of time and then the production and the logistics and installation at the site happens. So it creates confusion with the customer. So it's better to have a fixed price contract. Yes, when the prices go up abruptly, it creates a kind of a risk for the company”

    Clarifies the company's strategy for managing raw material price volatility, indicating a fixed-price contract model and proactive order booking to mitigate risk.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Strong Revenue Growth and Order Inflow

    EPACK Prefab Technologies Limited reported a robust Q1 FY27 with revenue growing by 24.06% year-over-year to ₹366 crores, up from ₹295 crores in Q1 FY26. This growth was supported by a significant increase in order inflow, which surged by 141.6% to ₹580 crores in Q1 FY27 compared to ₹240 crores in the same period last year. The total order book as of June 30, 2026, stands at ₹1,380 crores, providing a clear revenue visibility for the next 6 to 8 months and supporting the company's FY27 revenue target of ₹1,900-1,950 crores.

    02

    EBITDA Margin Contraction and Normalization Outlook

    The company experienced an EBITDA margin contraction of 110 basis points, falling to 9.4% in Q1 FY27 from 10.5% in Q1 FY26. This was primarily attributed to an abrupt increase in steel prices due to the Middle East war. However, management highlighted that smart procurement and pricing strategies limited the impact to approximately 100 basis points. They expressed confidence that EBITDA margins would normalize to 10.5%-11.5% from Q2 FY27 onwards, as new orders are being booked at revised commodity prices.

    03

    Capacity Expansion and Utilization

    EPACK Prefab's prefab division achieved an average capacity utilization of over 75% in Q1 FY27. The sandwich panel line at the Mambattu plant saw its utilization ramp up to 45% from 25% in the previous financial year, with a target of 70%-75% utilization for FY27. The company is on track to commission the Ghiloth sandwich panel line by the end of Q3 FY27, with commercial production expected from Q4 FY27. The second line in Andhra Pradesh and the Gujarat plant are also slated for commissioning in Q4 FY27, with production starting in April 2027.

    04

    Strategic Focus on Data Centers and Exports

    The company is bullish on the data center opportunity, having formed a separate subsidiary, EPACK Data Center Solutions, with an equity plan of ₹75 crores for a manufacturing facility. While currently contributing 4-5% to the order book through insulated sandwich panels, the company aims to secure complete turnkey data center projects. In exports, EPACK successfully shipped sandwich panels to an African nation in Q1 FY27, marking an encouraging start. They are also in discussions for structural steel PEB buildings in export markets, aiming for a 'sizable portion' of total business from exports in the next 2-3 years.

    05

    Order Book Composition and Average Order Size

    The current order book is diversified, with the energy sector (renewable, transformers, wires/cable) and logistics each contributing 24-25%, and the automobile sector contributing 10%. The average order size has increased significantly to ₹12-13 crores, up from ₹6.5 crores previously, driven by larger projects like the ₹165 crore order from a renewable company. This shift towards larger orders reflects the company's enhanced capability to undertake bigger projects and improve manufacturing efficiency.
