Detailed Narrative
Q3 FY26 Performance and FY26 Outlook
Felix Industries reported a Q3 FY26 revenue of ₹45 crores, contributing to a cumulative ₹65 crores for the first nine months of FY26. The company is confident in achieving its FY26 revenue guidance of ₹110 crores, with a significant portion, approximately ₹25 crores, expected from EPC contract deliveries in March 2026. Other expenses in Q3 increased by ₹6 crores, identified as a one-time📎 cost for civil expansion related to an EPC project, which is slated for completion by March 2026.
Strategic Expansion in Waste Oil Processing (Oman)
The company's waste oil processing operations in Oman are currently at 30 tons per day (TPD) and are planned to scale up to 60 TPD within a couple of months. By the end of FY26, Felix aims to reach 100 TPD in Oman. This expansion is driven by a significant market opportunity in the Middle East due to a lack of comprehensive recyclers. At 100 TPD, the Oman operations are projected to generate a monthly revenue of ₹10-11 crores, with potential for expansion into UAE and Saudi Arabia in subsequent years.
Growth in Plastic Recycling Business
Felix Industries is in the process of acquiring an existing plastic recycling setup, which currently operates at 300 tons per month. The company plans to increase this capacity to 1,000 tons per month within the next three months. This expanded capacity is expected to yield a monthly revenue of ₹6-7 crores. The business model involves selling recycled plastics and leveraging environmental credits, with an anticipated gross margin of 15-17% and a PAT margin of 10-12%.
FY27 Revenue and O&M Targets
For FY27, Felix Industries has set a revenue guidance of ₹180-200 crores. This includes an O&M revenue target of ₹50 crores from India and ₹75-80 crores from Oman, largely driven by the 5-year Oman LNG contract. Additionally, the company anticipates generating approximately ₹50 crores from metal processing in FY27. The overall EBITDA margin is expected to be maintained in the 25-30% range.
Capital Structure and Funding
The company's current debt stands at ₹18 crores, comprising ₹14 crores in working capital facilities and ₹4 crores from an NBFC. Felix is actively engaged with banks for the renewal and potential enhancement of its working capital limits. Management indicated that BOOT assets currently deployed amount to ₹30-35 crores, representing the company's existing investment in such projects.
Approach to Government vs. Private Projects
Felix Industries primarily focuses on private entities for its projects, citing challenges with government projects. Management explained that government projects often involve a 'typical tendency of functioning in a very different manner' and present difficulties in 'recovering money'. This strategic preference for private clients is due to easier decision-making and faster execution, allowing the company to maintain better control and profitability.
