Afcons Infrastructure Ltd (AFCONS) Q2FY26 Concall Summary - Sep-2025 Qtr
Performance Overview
- The company reported a modest revenue growth in Q2 FY26, primarily due to stretched payment cycles across projects, delays in the conversion of L1 orders, and execution challenges from prolonged monsoons and natural calamities.
- Despite top-line pressures, the company maintained a healthy EBITDA margin of 12.9% for the quarter, supported by cost savings on materials in some projects and other operating income, including arbitration awards and forex gains.
- The order book remains strong at INR 32,681 crores, though order inflow was slow in the first half. Management is confident in achieving the full-year order inflow guidance of INR 20,000 crores, with significant awards expected in the second half of the year.
- The company has revised its full-year revenue growth guidance downwards from over 20% to approximately 10% plus, citing persistent liquidity issues with certain clients, particularly in the Jal Jeevan Mission project, which has led to a deliberate slowdown and even stoppage of work.
- Significant operational milestones were achieved, including the final breakthrough of the NATM tunnel for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail project and substantial progress in tunneling for the Kanpur and Delhi MRTS projects, reinforcing the company's leadership in underground works.
