Strategic Initiatives & JV Update

  • The company formed a joint venture, JNK Chemdist Technologies, focused on green hydrogen and sustainable chemical and fuel technologies.
  • In its first six months of operation, the JV contributed approximately 7% to the group's revenue.
  • The JV has an order backlog of approximately ₹70 crores, which is included in the consolidated order book.
  • The JV has been awarded a green hydrogen project from Hydrogen Valley Pune, to be executed in FY27.
  • The JV has a bid pipeline of nearly ₹200 crores, mainly in chemical, pharma, and water-related projects.

Management Commentary & Forward-Looking Guidance

  • The strong performance is attributed to the effectiveness of the business model, disciplined execution, and the progress of strategic initiatives.
  • For FY27, the company expects revenue growth of around 25% to 30%.
  • The company aims to maintain EBITDA margins in the range of 14% to 15%.
  • The improvement in margins is attributed to the completion of legacy projects and the execution of newer projects with better terms.
  • The company is focused on sustaining profitability, enhancing operating margins, and generating strong cash flow.

Operational and Project Updates

  • Dangote Refinery (Nigeria) Phase 2: The company is prequalified for fired heaters and reformer packages. Inquiries have been received. Fired heater requirement is expected to be finalized in Q1 FY27; reformers in Q2 or Q3 FY27.
  • Waste Gas Handling Package: A ~₹200-250 crore opportunity is in final commercial discussions and expected to be finalized within a week or two.
  • Clean Aviation Fuel Project: The company lost this opportunity as it was not the lowest bidder.
  • Domestic Projects (BPCL Andhra, Haldia, MRPL, IOCL): Feasibility studies are underway. Projects are expected to take 6 months to a year to come online due to current market conditions and crude oil pricing.
  • Export Opportunities: The company has an export bid pipeline of approximately ₹4,000 crores in Africa, the Middle East, and Russia, expected to be finalized over the next 2-3 quarters.
  • Execution Capability: The company has an order backlog executable over ~2 years. It is building capabilities in manpower and working capital management to handle the growth. No major capex is needed for FY27 growth, but a smaller domestic facility (capex ~₹10-15 crores) is being considered for critical fabrication work.

Cash Flow

  • Operating cash flow improved significantly in FY26 and is expected to turn positive in FY27.
  • The improvement is attributed to a shift in project mix towards private customers and exports, which offer better payment terms (e.g., down payments) compared to PSU projects where payments are skewed towards the end.
  • Unbilled revenue from new private projects is expected to convert to cash within approximately three months.

Other Key Q&A Highlights

  • Competition: For the Dangote project, competition is with reputed European players; Heurtey does not quote for EPC projects in countries like Nigeria.
  • Capacity & Growth: The company's growth is constrained by manpower for engineering/project management and working capital, not physical manufacturing capacity, as fabrication can be outsourced.
  • Royalty Structure: For export orders won directly by JNK India for common products, a technical fee of up to 2% of the order value is paid to JNK Global. This is not a significant factor in the current order book.
  • Addressable Market: In refineries and petrochemicals, the company's traditional products represent ~6-7% of the total project cost.
  • Seasonality: Q4 is typically the heaviest quarter for revenue, with Q1 being the lowest. The company anticipates a 40%/60% revenue split between H1 and H2 for FY27.
