Premier Explosives Limited has informed the Exchange about Transcript

Premier Explosives posted strong Q1 FY26 results with revenue up 72% year-on-year to INR142.1 crores and net profit up 110% to INR15.3 crores, driven by the Defense and Space segment which now contributes 86% of revenue. The order book stands at INR988.5 crores (2.4x FY25 revenue), with INR700 crores of additional RFPs in the pipeline, and management maintained its FY26 revenue guidance of INR600 crores. EBITDA margin dipped to 14.7% but management expects it to improve from Q2 onwards as deferred defense dispatches go out, and potentially further once the chaffs and flares order (remaining INR180 crores) is fully executed. A fire incident at the Katepally propellant plant is estimated to cost INR20 crores over two years and is fully insured. The company is planning an INR300 crore fundraise via QIP or preference shares — about INR200 crores for capex including a greenfield Odisha plant (Phase 1 of INR100 crores, total INR800 crores over 10 years) and the rest for term loan repayment; RDX capacity expansion at Katepally is targeted by December 2025.
