The net profit margin for the quarter stood at 6.96%. For the nine months ending December 2025, standalone total income reached INR248.14 crores, generating a net profit of INR17.57 crores and an EPS of INR3.23.

Order Book and Future Revenue Visibility
As of January 31, 2026, the company's outstanding order book was INR850 crores. Management indicated a bidding pipeline of approximately INR500 crores, with expectations to convert some of these into firm orders within the next 1-2 months. The current book-to-bill ratio is around 2, and the company is targeting to increase this to 3, which would further enhance future revenue visibility. Execution timelines for projects typically range from 18 to 30 months, though Delhi NCR projects face extensions.
Impact of Pollution and Project Delays in Delhi NCR
The company's FY26 revenue growth guidance has been revised downwards to 15% from the earlier 20-25% target, primarily due to pollution-related work stoppages in Delhi NCR. Government-mandated construction bans under GRAP 3 and 4 levels have caused delays in several projects, including those worth INR200 crores in KG Marg and two Unitech projects. Consequently, 18-month projects in Delhi NCR are now expected to take 26-28 months to complete. Despite these delays, management confirmed no penalties have been levied against the company.
IPO Proceeds Utilization and Capital Allocation Strategy
Out of the INR119 crores raised from the IPO, approximately INR15 crores remain in FDRs. The majority, INR75 crores, was allocated to working capital, with a small balance of INR20-25 lakhs remaining. For capex, INR14 crores were earmarked, with INR10-11 crores still available. The capex is primarily directed towards machinery and scaffolding material, including a INR14.2 crore investment, aimed at reducing rental costs and improving project execution efficiency. The company is not actively seeking new debt for working capital but remains open to it for major projects.
Working Capital Management and Receivables Profile
The current working capital cycle stands at 100-105 days, which management aims to reduce to 75-80 days as EPC projects near completion and receivables are realized. Approximately 90% of the company's receivables are from government clients, which are considered secure, although payment processing can take between 1 to 45 days post-billing. The remaining 10% of receivables are from private clients, including those like Unitech, which is under Supreme Court monitoring for payments.
Strategic Focus and Medium-Term Growth Outlook
Globe Civil Projects is strategically focusing on institutional building and housing sectors, while reducing its exposure to transport and railway projects. Sports infrastructure has been identified as a key growth area, with plans to secure 1-2 more sports projects this year, anticipating future opportunities from events like the Commonwealth and Olympics. The company maintains a medium-term target of 20-25% year-on-year revenue and profitability growth, with a preferred project mix of 70% government and 30% private due to the lower risk profile of government contracts.
