Segment Spotlight & Business Performance

Management commentary highlighted strong sales for Bronze Bushings and large size Cages. However, sales to Japanese customers are currently below expectations, though potential for improvement exists. Harsha Romania experienced a subdued quarter with negative EBITDA due to lower demand and increased copper prices, with price pass-through anticipated in coming quarters. Harsha Advantek reported a marginal positive EBITDA but a net loss of ₹3.87 crores due to building capitalization and fixed costs.

Financial Deep Dive & Expansion

Working capital analysis shows an increase in Receivables days to 84 days in Q3 FY26 from 81 days YoY. Finance costs stood at ₹484 Lakhs and depreciation at ₹1,203 Lakhs for the quarter.

A significant development is the finalization of a brownfield expansion in Harsha China, with an outlay of US $9.94 million. This project, aimed at increasing Steel Cages capacity, will be implemented over two years by FY 2028, funded by local debt and parent equity.

Risks & Outlook

While the overall performance is strong, investors should monitor the recovery in Harsha Romania, the profitability of Harsha Advantek, and the increase in receivables. The ability to pass on copper price hikes and meet Japanese customer expectations will be crucial. The China expansion is a positive long-term strategic move, demonstrating the company's commitment to global growth.
