💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Overall revenue from operations grew 11% YoY, reaching INR 668.1 Mn in FY25 compared to INR 601.9 Mn in FY24. Segment-specific growth is not explicitly broken down, but the company reported a revenue impact of INR 60-70 Mn due to dispatch delays from pending approvals.

Geographic Revenue Split

The company is aggressively expanding its international footprint, adding 12 international customers out of 54 new additions in the recent quarter. Target regions for scaling include the USA and Europe to increase the international revenue share.

Profitability Margins

Reported Net Profit Margin was 7.9% in FY25 compared to 10.4% in FY24. However, FY24 profit included a one-time asset sale of INR 36.2 Mn; excluding this, operational PAT rose from INR 26.17 Mn to INR 53.03 Mn, representing a 102.6% increase in core profitability.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA margin improved to 17.0% in FY25 (INR 113.9 Mn) from 16.6% in FY24 (INR 99.9 Mn). This 40 bps expansion was driven by measures taken to reduce material and direct costs and enhanced operational efficiency during order execution.

Capital Expenditure

The company is executing a major expansion at Talegaon, Nashik, adding 80,000 sq. ft of production capacity on a 13-acre plot to supplement its existing 60,000 sq. ft facility. Total Assets increased from INR 705.2 Mn to INR 879.3 Mn YoY.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

Interest costs decreased by 19.8% from INR 42.0 Mn in FY24 to INR 33.7 Mn in FY25. The Debt-Equity ratio significantly improved from 1.81 to 0.30 following the IPO, which raised INR 29.99 Cr and substantially increased Net Worth.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Steel plates, tubes, and specialized alloys for thermal conductivity (implied by Heat Exchanger manufacturing). Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) represented 48.5% of revenue in FY25, down from 56.2% in FY24.

Import Sources

Not specifically disclosed, though the company maintains global compliance standards (ASME) suggesting procurement meets international quality benchmarks for export-ready products.

Capacity Expansion

Current facility is 60,000 sq. ft. Planned expansion involves an 80,000 sq. ft facility on 13 acres at Talegaon, Nashik, to cater to a new range of customers and increasing global demand.

Raw Material Costs

COGS was INR 324.5 Mn in FY25, a decrease of 4.1% YoY despite higher revenue, indicating successful cost optimization and better procurement strategies.

Manufacturing Efficiency

The company utilizes HTRI software for thermal design expertise. Operational efficiency is reflected in the EBITDA growth outpacing revenue growth (14% vs 11%).

Logistics & Distribution

Distribution is impacted by third-party inspections and customer approvals; H1FY26 saw INR 372.6 Mn in revenue recorded to date with post-September dispatches pending.

📈 Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

15-20%

Growth Strategy

Growth will be driven by a three-pronged strategy: 1) Increasing focus on Air Cooled Heat Exchangers for sustainable industrial practices, 2) Expanding export revenue share via USA and Europe markets, and 3) Ramping up production capacity at the new 13-acre Talegaon site.

Products & Services

Heat Exchangers, Air Cooled Heat Exchangers, Pressure Vessels, and specialized thermal solutions for energy and chemical sectors.

Brand Portfolio

United Heat Transfer Limited (UHTL).

New Products/Services

Increased focus on Air Cooled Heat Exchangers and solutions for coal/lignite gasification and synthetic fuels.

Market Expansion

Targeting USA and Europe for international scaling; added 54 new customers (12 international) to diversify the client base.

Strategic Alliances

Member of HTRI (Heat Transfer Research, Inc.) for thermal design software and enlisted with Engineers India Limited (EIL) for project approvals.

🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The industry is shifting toward Green Energy and Hydrogen; India's refining capacity is expected to double by 2030, creating a growing market for complex thermal solutions.

Competitive Landscape

Competes with global thermal solution providers; positioning is based on design expertise (HTRI) and compliance with international fabrication standards.

Competitive Moat

Sustainable moat built on high-barrier certifications: ASME 'U' and 'R' stamps, NB Registration, and EIL approval, which are mandatory for global energy project participation.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to global energy and chemical sector CapEx; India's ambition to become a global hydrogen hub provides a significant tailwind.

Consumer Behavior

Industrial customers are increasingly demanding energy-efficient and sustainable thermal solutions, driving the shift toward Air Cooled Heat Exchangers.

Geopolitical Risks

Trade barriers and energy security goals in developing economies drive project announcements but also pose risks to global supply chain stability.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Strict adherence to ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) standards for pressure vessels and heat exchangers; compliance with SEBI (LODR) and Companies Act 2013.

Environmental Compliance

Certified for ISO 14001:2015 (Environment Management System) and ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety).

Taxation Policy Impact

Effective tax rate was approximately 25.4% in FY25 (INR 18.1 Mn tax on INR 71.2 Mn PBT).

Legal Contingencies

The Secretarial Audit and CEO/CFO certification confirm no instances of significant fraud, illegal transactions, or material defaults during the audit period ended March 31, 2025.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Potential for material misstatements due to fraud or error in complex financial reporting, though currently mitigated by internal controls. Market volatility in the energy sector could impact the INR 47.27 Cr proposal pipeline.

Geographic Concentration Risk

Currently concentrated in India (Nashik), but actively diversifying into USA and Europe to mitigate regional economic risks.

Third Party Dependencies

High dependency on third-party inspectors for product dispatch; delays can impact quarterly revenue by ~10%.

Technology Obsolescence Risk

Mitigated by continuous upskilling of 130 employees and adoption of industry-standard HTRI design software.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

Trade receivables increased to INR 186.1 Mn in FY25 from INR 131.6 Mn in FY24, primarily due to sales concentrated in the latter half of the reporting period.
