Prabhudas Lilladher Report

KEC International Ltd. reported weak Q4 FY22 performance, with consolidated revenue declining 2% YoY and Ebitda margin contracting by 224 basis points YoY to 5.9%.

Margins are expected to remain under pressure for couple of quarters on account of slippage of losses in SAE legacy orders to H1 FY23, coupled with continued higher commodity and freight cost.

However, margin will gradually improve from H2 FY23 with SAE legacy order getting completed, increasing share of new contracts in order book mix (factoring in recent commodity prices) and execution picking up in domestic transmission and distribution.

Tender pipeline remains strong at Rs 1,250 billion from international and domestic T&D, railways, civil and additionally international geographies like Middle East, South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation and America.

Given healthy order book, KEC International has guided revenue growth of ~15% and order inflow of ~Rs 200 billion on back of strong tender pipeline for FY23.
