I now hand the conference over to Mr. Sanjay Kirloskar, Chairman and Managing Director from Kirloskar Brothers Limited. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. On behalf of Kirloskar Brothers Limited, I extend a very warm welcome to everyone who is joining us on our call today. I hope you've had an opportunity to go through the financial results and the investor presentation, which have been uploaded on the stock exchanges and the company's website. On this call with me, I have Mr. Alok Kirloskar, Managing Director, Kirloskar Brothers International B.V., Ms. Rama Kirloskar, Joint Managing Director, KBL, and MD, Kirloskar Ebara Pumps Limited, and Mr. Ravish Mittal, our CFO, as well as Strategic Growth Advisors, our investor relations advisor. Let me begin my remarks by giving some business highlights. The KBL Board has approved the sale of the company's entire stake in The Kolhapur Steel Limited, a non-material wholly owned subsidiary, to Karad Projects and Motors Limited.
This sale aims to attain a more straightforward corporate structure, enhance operational and managerial efficiency, leverage combined assets for a more robust and sustainable business, and realize cost savings while efficiently utilizing valuable resources. We have started FY 2025 on a positive note. On a consolidated basis, Q1 of FY 2025 has shown growth in revenue and profitability. We achieved revenue of INR 1,031 crores, showcasing a growth of 15% compared to the same quarter in the previous year. This increase underscores the strong demand for our products and services across various segments. Our EBITDA for this quarter grew by 10% on a year-on-year basis to INR 127 crores. Let me now begin with an overview of our domestic business performance, including standalone and other domestic subsidiaries.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we've achieved a year-on-year growth of 18%, reaching a total revenue of INR 687 crore. This strong growth is primarily driven by sustained demand for our made-to-order and engineered-to-order products. In addition, there has been an increase in made-to-stock orders, which has further supported our overall growth strategy, trajectory. Additionally, we've benefited from a decline in raw material prices, which led to gross profit margin expansion. Our robust order book and strategic focus on business prospects has positioned us well for the future. We maintain our growth guidance of achieving double-digit revenue growth in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 within our domestic business. As of June 2024, the value of our standalone pending orders stands at INR 1,956 crore, indicating a healthy pipeline.
And again, I'd like to remind everyone on the call that the made-to-stock business does not have any order board. Furthermore, we are witnessing a sequential uptick in key sectors, including marine and defense, building and construction, and the industry segment. On the international business for the quarter, we reported a growth of 9%. Our key subsidiary, SPP Pumps UK, experienced a decline in growth due to delays in order execution caused by supply chain issues. These orders are expected to be fulfilled in the coming quarters. Meanwhile, Kirloskar Brothers Thailand Limited sales improved with the execution of a large order for concrete volute pumps worth THB 150 million, which had been delayed in the previous quarter. SPP U.S.A. reported a revenue growth of 14% on a year-on-year basis.
With a keen focus on our business prospects, supported by our robust order book, we are optimistic regarding our future growth prospects. Our overseas pending order books stood at INR 1,031 crores. With this, let me invite Mr. Ravish Mittal, our CFO, to discuss the financial results.
Thank you, sir, for the warm welcome. Good afternoon, everyone. Let me start sharing the consolidated financial performance highlights. On a revenue front, net operations from revenue for quarter 1 of FY 2025 grew by 15% year-on-year basis to INR 1,031 crores. On an EBITDA front, our EBITDA for quarter one of FY 2025 grew by 10% on a year-on-year, growth of 10% to INR 127 crores. Our EBITDA margin stood at 12.3% for quarter one. During the quarter, we observed an increase in our other expenses. Primarily, these are attributable to our investment in the technology and system automation for the growth in the future. These investments are aimed at enhancing our operating efficiency and supporting our long-term growth objectives.
Additionally, there is some uptick in our employee expenses, which has been largely due to annual salary increments and associated provisioning for the retirement. Our profit after tax from our PAT for Q1 grew by 3% on year-on-year basis to INR 66 crores. This is the performance of our consolidated financial results. That is from our side. We can now begin our question and answer session. Thank you so much.
Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and one on their touchtone telephone. If you wish to remove yourself from the question queue, you may press star and two. Participants are requested to use handsets while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. The first question is from the line of Chinmay Kabra from Emkay Global Financial Services. Please go ahead.
Yeah. Hi, sir. I just wanted to gain an understanding about the other income. It has grown exponentially by 178% on a YOY basis. So is there any one-off, maybe reversal of provision, or, or what is the nature of other income? That is what I just wanted to know.
This is mainly our income from investments. As you can see, that our cash... From our cash flow, that investments have grown over the quarter as well as last year. So this is mainly the interest income and investments from mutual funds.
Understood, ma'am. Other than that, I just had one another query. I'm sorry if I missed it. The profits from the associates has been negative INR 51 million this time. Could you please just let me know which specific subsidiary or associate, I mean, basically, which company does it involves to?
Yes, this is Rama Kirloskar here. That essentially is from Kirloskar Ebara. They had a huge INR 100 crore order that did not go out. It will go out in the next two months. So, that should be taken care of. I hope that answers your question.
Just regarding the order, is there any reversal of income that has taken place, because of which there's a negative flow into the financials?
Can you repeat your question, please?
So, what I'm just trying to understand is, it's because of the INR 100 crore order that was previously booked in the books of the subsidiary, or is... I mean, is this a reversal of profit or the nature of the-
It's not a reversal of profit. The order was not dispatched. It is delayed into the next month.
The execution of the order was delayed.
For the next-
For the next quarter.
Understood, sir. So, so we will, this will reflect into Q2 or 2025.
Within the time period.
Understood. So, so at present date, we can, we can probably assume that this has been dispatched and will reflect in Q2 or 25, right?
Yes, exactly.
Okay, great. Thank you. Those are my questions.
Thank you. A reminder to all participants that you may press star and one to ask a question. The next question is from the line of Renjith Sivaram from Mahindra Manulife Mutual Fund. Please go ahead.
Yeah. Hi, sir. Good evening. Sir, I just wanted to understand this other expenditure that has increased. Is that something that is pertaining to this quarter, or will this be something which will continue to recur, so that we should be assuming that the other expense for the whole year also will be higher compared to last year, because these are some systemic changes which we are doing?
So, essentially, since you asked about other expenses, we are actually spending money into technological upgradation and lot of new programs in terms of automation of a lot of projects. So these are the expenditure which is going one time, and these are going to benefit us in future quarters.
Can you just elaborate, like, what are we spending on? Like, if you can share some more-
Sorry to interrupt, you sound a bit muffled. Could you come a bit closer to your handset and ask the question?
Yeah. Is it okay now? Hello?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah. So can you just elaborate on these technological investments and like, what are the main, so that will help us in understanding that?
So we are moving towards, you know, specific IT projects that are going to help in efficiency improvements and operational improvements. So, those will be one-time costs, which we are incurring this year.
Okay. And the second question from my side will be like, what is the outlook regarding the overseas businesses? Like, how do you see the-
I can't hear you. Sorry, can't hear you.
So what's your outlook regarding the overseas business?
Outlook for overseas business.
I think that generally the order book position is still quite strong as you can see. And year to date, we've had a little bit of delay on many jobs as has been outlined in the presentation. We believe the outlook still remains quite strong.
... Okay, okay, fine. I'll join for further question time next semester.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Pratik Kothari from Unique PMS . Please go ahead.
Yes, hi, good afternoon. So my first question, historically, we have managed to always grow our bottom line much faster than our top line. I mean, given the historical investments, et cetera, that we have done. So one comment on, anything that has changed or any views which had to be expected is already done, especially I'm asking from the international subsidiary point.
Can you repeat the question? Because I could not understand what you said.
Sorry. My question is, historically, we have always grown our bottom line much faster than our top line. I mean, lot of operating leverage, etc. , which used to play out, which we have not seen this quarter. So some comments on, should we expect the same going forward? And, especially in international subsidiaries, I mean, while we have grown, grown our top line, but our EBITDA has stayed flat.
Yeah, I think a lot of that is because many large projects have not moved out as planned. So that has impacted, you know, the numbers, because a lot of the costs obviously were already absorbed on those jobs. So, so we you know as they go out, the situation should change. That said, I'd like to also say that, you know, even though large jobs have not gone out, I think like you mentioned earlier, we've tried to build the foundation in a way that has allowed, you know, consistent returns through various other kinds of daily businesses.
Sorry, then, sir, regarding the supply chain, I mean, we saw this delay in Ebara, also in SPP, U.K. for the last two, three quarters, there have been some delays. Is it specific to some kind of orders? Is it something on our side? Is it something from customers? If you can highlight what are, what is causing this delay.
It's to do with an American engine supplier, and it's mainly them. And that, as you know, these are large, what we're selling are large offshore packages, quite a few of them, in fact. And they're almost 13 or 14 large 60 L engines, which is 60,000 cc engines, 13 of them, which are delayed. And it's causing, you know, a huge problem for us. And they also had some issues with, you know, how they had built them, so they went back and forth. So really, it's these that have caused the problem to us.
But slowly, they have arrived at the facility in the U.K, and now they are in the manufacturing process for the rest of the items, which are our pumps, basically, that will be assembled along with them.
As far as the Ebara is concerned, I think I mentioned this earlier, that, you know, in the oil and gas segment, particularly in the domestic market, the demand has increased substantially. But the vendor base available, in terms of bought out components such as mechanical seals, flameproof motors, fabrication, they are very limited because, we have to choose from the approved vendor list that EIL publishes in the tender. So because there are not enough vendors, we are getting to a situation where there are capacity constraints, and so, there are delays in, in dispatch of the consignments.
Mm-hmm. Right.
Because we don't get our components, our bought out components, in time.
Is it specific to few products, or this is across the supply chain?
Specific to the oil and gas segment in India.
Okay. And just one clarification regarding, I mean, we use this three terms, sometimes AMC, framework, and subscription. If you can clarify, what is the difference between these three models which we have?
The framework models are where we have management of a site. So like I mentioned, we have now almost little over 110 sites under management outside India, which is where we manage all pumps on that site between a 3-year and a 5-year contract. So really that is what is our Framework Agreement. And the Framework Agreement includes all kinds of services that we provide on that framework. And these could be remote diagnostics, it can be, you know, updation, upgradation of the products. That or it also includes us putting the site, entire site, where all the pumps are, into a digital format like Augmented Reality. While a subscription... So that's the framework.
A subscription is just where we provide remote diagnostics as a service to a particular site, or we provide Augmented Reality as a service to a particular site, but we do not have a site under management.
Correct. And last question to Alok, I mean, just in general, internationally, if you can talk about the demand trends across geography, across product segments that we are present, U.S., U.K., you know, Thailand.
Can you repeat the question?
Yeah. It's regarding, I mean, our international subsidiaries, if you can highlight the kind of demand trends that we see across geographies and across product segments that we are present in?
In the international geography?
Yes, yes.
So I mean, at the moment, we see if you look at what we operate in, as I've always said, in the U.S., we operate in the municipal and fire markets. In the U.K., we operate in industrial, fire, oil and gas, and water markets. In the Netherlands, we operate in the midstream oil and gas, chemicals, and water market. And in Southeast Asia, we operate in the water and fire markets and industrial markets. And in Southeast Asia, sorry, in South Africa, we operate in mining, industrial, and fire markets. So that's the basic markets we operate in. We don't operate in all markets in all countries, like I said before.
And if I now start again from the U.S., the special, the special areas where we're seeing demand in the fire and the municipal market is both around special pumps for data centers, pumps for, yeah, battery production, pumps in the fire pumps and fire packages in the area of battery recycling, both in the context of EV, EV vehicles. And then, we see municipal demand, which is the big packages that go for city water supplies. That's an area we're seeing demand growth in America. In Europe, we're seeing growth mainly around our water business, both in the Netherlands, the Benelux region, as well as in the U.K., where there are a lot of resilience schemes going on, for water.
As you may have already heard, a lot of water companies have been pushed now by the government to invest, especially after the whole issue with Thames Water, where Macquarie, you know, took out large dividends and the company is in not a very good shape. So, the government's really been pushing all the water companies to invest large amounts of money because they're all private companies. So we see demand there on the water products. We also see demand on our services business because we manage the framework contracts, which is the service framework contracts, for most of the water companies exclusively, except Thames Water. And we manage all brands of pumps for them, for service and maintenance. If we come to the Southeast Asia, we see demand again in data centers for fire.
We see in warehousing for, again, fire applications. And we see demand in the chemical segment at the moment. Those are the key segments where we're seeing demand. In South Africa, mainly in mining, we're seeing a pickup again in demand for pumps and in fire. Does that cover all the areas you're looking for?
Yes. Completely, sir.
Thank you. A reminder to all participants that you may press star and one to ask a question. The next question is from the line of Ishita Lodha from Svan Investments. Please go ahead.
Hi, congratulations on a good quarter. My question is with respect to the restructuring that has been planned for this stake sale in KSL to KPML. Just want to get your sense on the rationale behind the same. Thank you.
So, we've looked at the complete organization structure, and we felt that we should have a fewer subsidiaries. So to that account, we have also closed Rotaserve in Mozambique as one of the subsidiaries. And we felt that bringing together, like I said in my opening remarks, bringing together the two Indian subsidiaries of KBL would help us realize cost savings. They're both located close to one another and would also help us improve operational as well as managerial efficiency. I think, if you have been on earlier calls, quite often we've been asked why our company has so many subsidiaries. So we are really looking at each one and trying to see how we can combine resources in order to ensure that we can work together better.
All right. Thank you.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Sunil Kothari from Unique PMS. Please go ahead.
Thank you for the opportunity. Congratulations, sir, to you and your team, Rama and Alok, for really a very good transformation of the organization within last one, four, five years' effort and moving towards a really respectable profitability. So my question is mainly regarding all of you three, what be, what will be your focus area for next year or two, where we internally want to say, like Rama talked about supply chain, some issues locally, international, so there are some issues. We have we are increasing our IT investment and our automation and all these things. So which are the areas we want to strengthen over a year or two? If you can talk, will be really helpful.
So I think the two areas that I would look at would be enhancing our operational efficiency, which I've mentioned many times earlier, through digitization, through automation, and really enhancing our productivity, and as well as our market penetration. So we are continuously working on enhancing our footprint in the market.
Sorry. Yeah, please.
The point I'd add is that, you know, we look to do, you know, the objectives are similar, whether in India or overseas. I mean, we look for better penetration and operational efficiency, and also investing in our key areas, which give us regular business. And these could be on the product side, something like APOYN or they could be something like services, you know, which ensure that, you know, we get predictable and visibility on business from a year-to-year and multi-year perspective, because, you know, that's really what will help us going forward.
... And I think, what we've been able to show, over the last few, the last quarter or more, is our, you know, initiative for the artificial intelligence, AR, VR, which is really moving the company into a very different, orbit, with regards to service to our customers. So that's the other one that, we are doing. I think you might have also read, in the annual report, which was sent a few days ago, that, KBL is actually making, products which are the, which have, efficiencies, which are better than many companies in the world. We were, probably the first one to achieve European, minimum efficiency index norms. I believe we are the only ones in the world at the moment who put that number on our nameplate, the pump nameplate.
That, you know, they can test it, and they can check it out, that we meet the latest European efficiency norm. And this is, you know, we did something with LLC pumps a few years ago, lowest lifecycle cost pumps a few years ago. So we're trying to see how our product efficiencies are amongst the best in the world, so that the market recognizes us as a company which provides a technologically superior product. I was actually very happy to read in the newspaper that one of our German competitors had decided to now upgrade their series. We, we've introduced our series almost a year ago. Now they are going to look at it and spending a lot of money and it's in the news to bring it up to the standard that we have already achieved.
So these are the three things that we are doing: improvement of products, product efficiencies, the process industries within the company, whatever be the process, looking at sustainability and ensuring that we have a far greater reach in the market.
Great, sir. Thank you, and wish you good luck. Thank you very much.
Thank you. A reminder to all participants that you may press star and one to ask a question. The next question is from the line of Mahesh Bendre from LIC Mutual Fund. Please go ahead.
Good evening, sir. Thank you so much for the opportunity. Sir, any plans for entering into Solar Pumps?
We already supply Solar Pumps, but like we've mentioned many times, we actually supply them through system integrators, because that ensures that we get our money on time.
Okay, because the opportunity potential is very high. I mean, given the number of installations government is talking about. So do you see significant growth from us?
We would not want that sort of growth at the cost of not being paid. I mean, I think we've already burned our fingers once with our EPC business, and we don't want to be in that sort of a situation here.
Sure. And, ma'am, there is a lot more talk about the nuclear power plants. So pump is very important, equipment goes into that. So how do you see that opportunity, unfolding for us?
I think, the nuclear opportunity is something that our company has been looking at, for a long time and also participating in. I was very happy when, I think I mentioned this last time also, that, our Prime Minister visited, Kalpakkam to see the progress on the Fast Breeder Reactor. Our Primary Heat Transport Pumps and Secondary Heat Transport Pumps are running over there, and I am looking forward, to that plant being commissioned. I believe that, going forward, they will require such, a few of them, not too many, but a few of them, in the future to, breed fuel. As far as, the, fleet order is concerned, we have started getting orders for pumps, that are required.
We are also developing quite a few new pumps for the fleet order, and we believe that we will be able to participate in a big way in that program as well. There are, I think, in the budget speech, our finance minister did mention that government was very keen to have greater power generated through nuclear power plants. And whether it is the 220 MW or 500 MW or 700 MW units, I think, for all of them, we have products in the primary and secondary circuits, which for which we should be getting orders.
Sure. Thank you. Thank you so much, sir.
Thank you. Our next question is from the line of Saurabh Mehta from East Lane Capital. Please go ahead.
Yeah, hi. Thanks for the opportunity. I had a few questions about the standalone business. So, to start with, you've done very well in the standalone revenue growth has been very, very strong. So just wanted to understand which areas or which segments have done really well, and, do we continue to see strong inquiries from there? Second question was on the thermal power opportunities. You were still in the nuclear power, but thermal power also, government's basically targeting 80 GW. So, and BHEL is getting most of the orders. So do they do in-house everything, or, that could be an opportunity for us? And the third question is on the river linking and the flood control investments, the opportunity from there.
Yeah. So we normally do not give breakups of sector-wise, you know, performances, or other than I think we give you the order board. But I can say that in all sectors we are seeing great amount of positivity. And as far as thermal power is concerned, we've already received orders for some projects. I think in Adani's projects, we have received orders from the other projects also. BHEL does make pumps, they don't make all the pumps. And we expect that like earlier, in earlier years, they will obviously it will be through a tendering process. But we believe that we should be in a good place to get orders for various types of pumps in the thermal new thermal power plants that are coming up.
So also on the river linking and the flood control, that also I think is a good opportunity for us. So is there anything or is it still quite far away in terms of orders for us?
For flood control, actually, we've just delivered our second concrete volute pump system in Bangkok. But yes, whether it's irrigation or flood control, we do get orders from time to time. And we have delivered a very large number of pumps for irrigation schemes in this quarter, as well as in the last quarter that we are discussing, as well as in the last year.
Got it. So, now can we discuss the service business offerings which we have? Also, if we can explain, for example, if there is a municipal corporation order, a INR 100 order, what could be a sustainable service component of it, which we can like get out of it on a sustainable basis?
At the moment, I think most of our, if you're asking like a maintenance, are you asking about maintenance and long term?
Yeah. Service and maintenance. For the domestic market, yeah.
Are you talking about framework contracts or usual service business? [crosstalk]
No, usual service contracts.
In the domestic market?
Yes, yes.
I don't... You know, where we had done projects earlier, over there, I think we have a few service contracts. But otherwise, the local municipalities usually have some local service providers, and they buy the spare parts from us sometimes. Because the spares is sustainable, but it is done through local service providers.
Got it. So this Kolhapur Steel, this company continues to report some small losses. So, I think, earlier they used to be, focusing on power sector, but we had diversified more sectors to get more business. And so what's the outlook on this subsidiary?
We are quite bullish about Kolhapur Steel in light of the fact that the power sector is looking up again. And whether it's thermal or nuclear or you know things that require large pumps in low carbon steels or any other exotic material, that's where Kolhapur Steel steps in. So we just felt that it would be we would be able to grow this business going forward with the way things are looking up. I think Prime Minister has declared 2047 as the year of Viksit Bharat, and I think there was there have been a lot of discussions on how much power generation capacity would be required.
If we are currently at 450 GW of generation capacity, I think the number that people have generally accept for 2047 is 1,000 GW. When you look at the fact that quite a large amount of that is going to be coming through renewables, but there's still going to be a need for base load power generation. Both nuclear as well as thermal power plants will play a large part. Maybe nuclear will play a bigger role going forward. So, these castings are required, these castings are going to be required, and we therefore feel that Kolhapur Steel has a good future.
Got it. Got it. So sooner or later, these losses should stop, and we should have good opportunities.
Yeah, I think it will start sooner than later.
Got it. Got it. So, last question is, we've spoken about this, some one-time, investments in technology. If that amount can be quantified, that'll be very helpful.
... There are various projects which we are working on. We cannot specify a particular amount. Various digitization projects are on, and technological upgradation projects are on. Essentially, the IT projects which help, you know, building up relationship with our supply chain partners also. So, various projects, which is going to help us, you know, to sustain the volume in future and, take the additional operational advantages in future.
So, should we assume this INR 150 crore kind of number, which we've seen in this quarter, this should go on?
Sorry, uh-
This INR 150 crore, which we've spent in this quarter in other expenses, this is a number which will, basically, this will continue. There's no one-off in it, which was much higher this quarter vs ... Because last year it was only INR 118 crore, so.
Yeah. No, but, some of it is one-time cost, so it may not be that it may recur, continuously. These are some of the projects which is, like, one-time, which we have started on, but there is definitely some recurring costs on the licenses and other things will continue.
Sure. That's it from my side. Thank you so much.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Harshil Sethia from Renaissance Investment Managers. Please go ahead.
Hi, sir. What kind of opportunity do you see in the nuclear power industry? So, and if, say, INR 100 crore is spent in a power plant for nuclear, what would be the quantum of orders that Kirloskar as a company would get?
What percentage of orders we get would depend on our products and our services. But if you ask me, pumps, we normally say that any, any project, pumps would be 1%-2% of the total value. So if you are saying INR 100 crore is going to be spent on nuclear power plant, possibly between maybe around INR 2 crore would be spent on pumps.
Okay. And, do we have the technology in place for nuclear power, and are we well-equipped to service these orders?
Yeah, we are very well placed to service orders for Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors, Light Water Reactors, as well as Fast Breeder Reactors.
Any product gaps that needs to be filled, are you working on that, or?
Whenever the size changes, then there is a product gap. So, we have to make that product for that new size. So, but with the references that we have, I believe that our new products of a different size would be accepted.
Okay. And India is still planning for many smaller reactors, compared to a large one. So, so what kind of opportunity size do you expect in the next 10-15 years?
Like I said, say if tomorrow 20% is base load power generation, and somehow the world decides that they are not going to allow any more coal-fired power plants, whether it's coal or lignite or whatever, or fossil fuel, and that entire amount is to go to nuclear, then you would say that 200 gigawatts of nuclear power plants generation capacity is required. And if that is the number, then we have to move up from the present 8 GW to 200 GW. Okay.
Mr. Sethia, does that answer your question?
Yes.
Do you have any further questions?
No.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, that was the last question for today. We have reached the end of our question and answer session. I would now like to hand the conference over to Ms. Rama Kirloskar for closing comments.
I'd like to emphasize that we will continue to take a comprehensive approach to value creation in our contribution and boosting profitability for our stakeholders. With the groundwork for our transformation already laid, we are enhancing competitiveness and achieving sustainable growth as we move forward. Thank you for your support and for joining the call. If you have any questions, please reach out to us or our investor relations partner, Strategic Growth Advisors. Thank you.
Thank you. On behalf of Kirloskar Brothers Limited, that concludes this conference. Thank you for joining us. You may now disconnect your line.
