PRECISION - Precision Metal.
Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
The Company operates in a single segment: Manufacturing of Alloy Wheels. While specific revenue figures were not disclosed, the Average Net Profit for the preceding three years was reported at INR 6.297 Cr. The significant drop in Net Profit Margin from 3.45% in FY24 to 0.60% in FY25 (an 82.6% decline) suggests a substantial contraction in bottom-line performance despite the single-segment focus.
Geographic Revenue Split
Not disclosed in available documents, though the company identifies 'export opportunity' as a key growth driver and notes that global economic activity impacts its key markets.
Profitability Margins
Operating Profit Margin declined from 4.27% in FY24 to 3.08% in FY25, a reduction of 119 basis points. Net Profit Margin saw a sharper decline from 3.45% to 0.60% (down 285 basis points). These declines are attributed to rising input costs, specifically aluminum, and global economic headwinds.
EBITDA Margin
Operating Profit Margin stood at 3.08% for FY25, down from 4.27% in FY24. This 27.8% relative decrease in operating efficiency reflects the pressure from volatile raw material prices and increased operating costs in the auto-component sector.
Capital Expenditure
The company reported Nil (INR 0) for the creation or acquisition of capital assets during the reporting period, indicating a pause in physical infrastructure expansion for FY25.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
The company reported no defaults on repayments of loans or borrowings to banks. While specific interest rates were not disclosed, the management highlighted that rising global interest rates pose a significant risk to consumption growth and operating costs.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Aluminum is the primary raw material, representing a 'very significant' but unspecified percentage of the final product cost for Alloy Wheels.
Capacity Expansion
Current and planned capacity figures were not disclosed; however, the company reported zero capital asset acquisition for the current year.
Raw Material Costs
Aluminum prices are described as a 'reality of rising prices' that poses a challenge to financial management. The impact is direct as aluminum is the core component of the final product, meaning any price spike immediately compresses the 3.08% operating margin.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Capacity utilization metrics were not provided, but the company noted that an economic downturn could lead to a decrease in volumes and utilization levels.
Strategic Growth
Growth Strategy
The strategy focuses on the development of technologically superior auto-components and tapping into export opportunities. The company intends to remain agile to evolve dynamically with market demand while focusing on receivables and working capital management to maintain liquidity.

Market Expansion
The company is targeting export markets to drive growth, leveraging the inherent demand in the global auto-component sector.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The auto-component industry is facing a trend of rising raw material costs (Aluminum) and increased competition. The industry is evolving toward technologically superior components, and Precision is positioning itself to follow this shift.
Competitive Landscape
The sector is characterized by intense price competition and volatility in raw material pricing, requiring high operational agility.
Competitive Moat
The company's intended moat is based on 'technologically superior' product development. However, the sustainability is challenged by high price competition and low current margins (0.60% Net Profit).
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to global interest rates and inflation, which impact consumption growth and the cost of key inputs.
Consumer Behavior
A shift toward lower consumption due to higher interest rates is identified as a primary risk to demand.
Geopolitical Risks
Global macro-issues are cited as causes for extreme currency volatility and supply chain disruptions, acting as a headwind for performance.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
The company complies with Accounting Standards under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI (LODR) Regulations. It also follows AS-17 for segment reporting.
Legal Contingencies
The company reported Nil (INR 0) pending litigations that would impact its financial position as of March 31, 2025.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The primary uncertainties include the volatility of aluminum prices and the impact of global interest rates on consumption, which could significantly impact the 3.08% operating margin.
Third Party Dependencies
The company noted a need to strengthen its Internal Audit System to be commensurate with its size, suggesting a risk in internal oversight.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company identifies the need to develop technologically superior components to avoid losing its edge to competitors.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Receivables management has improved with the turnover ratio rising to 1.13, reducing credit risk compared to the previous year's 0.41.
