Release Date: August 08, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Schneider Electric Infrastructure Ltd (BOM:534139) reported a strong order growth of 42.1% compared to the same period last year, indicating robust demand for its products and services. The company has a significant backlog that is 25% higher than the previous year, ensuring future revenue streams. Schneider Electric Infrastructure Ltd (BOM:534139) is strategically positioned to benefit from India's growing focus on green energy, with a substantial portion of new orders coming from renewable energy projects. The company is actively engaging with policymakers and stakeholders to influence and adapt to emerging market trends, particularly in digital and sustainable infrastructure. Schneider Electric Infrastructure Ltd (BOM:534139) is investing in capacity expansion to meet future market demands, with all projects progressing as planned. Negative Points The company's gross margins decreased by 1.5% compared to the previous year, attributed to the absence of exceptional credits that were present in the prior period. Sales growth was moderate at 4.8%, partly due to project delays and spillovers into the next quarter. EBITDA margin decreased by 2.4 percentage points, reflecting challenges in maintaining profitability amidst rising costs. Employee costs increased by 11.8%, driven by inflation, salary hikes, and additional headcount, impacting overall profitability. The company faces competitive pressures in the industry, with many players expanding capacities, which could impact future margins. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with NSE:JASH. Q: Can you provide more specifics on the order wins this quarter and the segments driving growth? Also, why have gross margins been lower this quarter? A: (Unidentified_3, Managing Director and CEO) The lower margins are a timing issue, not a long-term concern. We are confident in meeting our full-year margin and profitability targets. The order wins are spread across various segments, and while power and grid remain our core business, contributing 40-45% of our revenue, other segments like data centers and energy are also contributing to growth. However, these segments can vary quarter to quarter. Q: What caused the moderate sales growth this quarter, and will the spillovers be captured in the next quarters? A: (Unidentified_3, Managing Director and CEO) The 5% sales growth was due to project delays that shifted some sales into Q2. This is not a concern as these will be captured in subsequent quarters. We maintain our full-year guidance, supported by a strong 26% growth in order backlog. Q: What is the outlook for H2 in terms of growth and margins? A: (Unidentified_4, Chief Financial Officer) With a strong order backlog, we expect better numbers in the upcoming quarters. The backlog and order inflow are strong indicators of improved performance in H2. Q: Is there any impact from geopolitical announcements or tariffs from the US on India? A: (Unidentified_3, Managing Director and CEO) There is no major impact on us from the recent geopolitical announcements or US tariffs. Q: Can you provide guidance for FY26 in terms of revenue growth, margin, and order flow? A: (Unidentified_4, Chief Financial Officer) We do not provide specific guidance, but the strong order backlog and our focus on execution suggest a positive outlook. We are optimistic about future performance despite a muted Q1. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
