Basilic Fly Stud Q1 FY27
What went well
- Delivered 89 projects (28 movies, 53 series, 8 commercials) for 60 clients globally, including 10 new clients.
- Won new international orders worth INR 105 crores for FY27 year-to-date, providing strong FY27 revenue visibility.
- Active bid pipeline stands at INR 700 crores, with 40% at an advanced stage of conversion.
What to watch
- Consolidated EBITDA decreased 23% YoY to INR 14 crores, with margins declining 584 bps to 13.91% due to unrealized FOREX loss (INR 4.2 crores), higher management travel, and increased IT expenses.
- Consolidated PAT decreased 44% YoY to INR 7 crores, with margins declining 637 bps to 6.3%, primarily due to EBITDA pressure, higher exceptional severance costs (INR 2.9 crores), and increased depreciation from tech investments.
