Felix Industries Q4 & FY26 Earnings Call Highlights
👉 FY27 & Future Outlook:
▫️ Consolidated revenue guidance for FY27 maintained at ~180-200 Cr (standalone subsidiaries including Oman, WMC, Rivita, metal recycling & others)
💠Driven by full utilization of existing capacities, new recurring contracts and ramp-up across verticals.
💠 Oil processing (Oman India) expected at 60-70 Cr this year with current 40 TPD capacity at near 100% utilization in next 3-6 months; longer-term target 100 TPD via incremental expansions as feedstock improves.
💠 Metal recycling to contribute 40-50 Cr in FY27, scaling to 100-125 Cr with 20-25 Cr additional capex; acid reclamation and plastic recycling to add further momentum.
💠 EBITDA margins stable at 30-31% (including other income)
💠PAT margins 17-20%.
💠Q4 margin dip (to ~12% PAT) attributed to manpower expansion, project overheads (CETP) and higher interest on working capital utilization — not a structural shift
💠Oil ramp-up, utilization & revenue math (40 TPD → 60-70 Cr FY27, then 100 TPD)
💠Metal recycling scale, margins (15-20% EBITDA, 12-14% PAT) & expansion capex
💠 Recurring revenue (O&M, BOO, BOOT) mix to rise sharply
💠EPC to shrink proportionally over next few years as projects convert to long-term annuity models.
💠 Oman normalization post geo-political slowdown; Middle East (Saudi/UAE refineries) discussions ongoing but focus remains on maximizing current facilities first.
💠 Medium-term (FY28-FY30) aspirational trajectory: next “landmark” year post-FY27 growth
👉 Current Order Book / Projects and Future Pipeline:
▫️ Visibility from secured long-duration BOO/BOOT/O&M contracts (up to 10 years) across industrial, food, steel, oil & gas sectors.
💠 Oil processing: existing orders already ensure 100% utilization of 40 TPD in FY27; additional sizable contracts expected to trigger capacity addition toward 100 TPD target.
💠 Metal recycling: unit acquired, retrofits complete by month-end; commercial operations from next month; 4 TPD processing capacity for zinc/copper sulphate (magnesium also possible); one PO-stage order of ~15 Cr 15-20 Cr under discussion.
💠 CETP project (common effluent treatment plant with equity stake): ~70% complete, balance 20 Cr EPC revenue in FY27; O&M to start post-September at ~1 Cr/month (~12 Cr annualized).
💠 Plastic recycling & water verticals: current Gujarat facilities fully loaded with feedstock; focus on debottlenecking and utilization before new geographies.
💠 Pipeline: multiple under-discussion orders (water, waste oil, metal); Rivita Solutions approvals now in place for water recycle projects; acid reclamation MOUs advancing; more than enough demand but selective intake to protect execution quality.
💠 International: Oman operations back on track with orders in hand; incremental Middle East opportunities being evaluated only after current facilities hit peak performance.
👉 Other Notable Points:
▫️ Balance sheet insights:
💠Debt-equity comfortable; working capital cycle optimization targeted in FY27 via better subsidiary alignment, LC-backed corporate orders and mobilization advances (government projects remain 90-120 days).
💠Current bank debt ~21 Cr (India) expected to rise to 35-40 Cr 20-25 Cr in Oman for growth — total addition ~40 Cr, fully serviceable via operating cash flows.
💠 Promoter pledge to be reduced progressively; authorized capital increased to 40 Cr as preparatory step for mainboard migration (no equity raise planned).
💠 Business Model Shift: Continued emphasis on converting EPC → BOO/BOOT/O&M for recurring, high-visibility cash flows and optimized working capital. Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), circular economy and resource recovery remain core.
▫️ ESG & Capacity Snapshot:
💠17 MLD wastewater, 40 TPD waste oil (target 100 TPD), 50 TPD hazardous waste, 100 projects delivered; operations in India & Oman; subsidiaries driving metal recycling, oil & gas tech, acid reclamation.
▫️Migration to NSE Mainboard: Targeted in next 5-6 months; enhancing visibility, liquidity and institutional participation.
▫️Manpower & Risks:
💠Headcount scaling with fresh engineers and vertical-specific teams; skilled manpower remains industry-wide challenge but not a current bottleneck.
💠No major risks flagged; liquidity and geo-political normalization being actively managed.
