Last updated: Feb 25
Q1: What is the view on the U.S. market post-regime change, and does the opportunity size remain the same for reconducting and other opportunities?
Answer: The U.S. market's fundamentals remain intact despite political changes. Electrification demand continues, with ~50% reliance on imports due to local production constraints. APAR's U.S. inquiries and approvals are improving, and excess inventory issues have subsided. Renewable projects and data centers drive demand, though competition persists. Management remains optimistic about growth.
Q2: Why has premium product sales softened despite strong domestic growth?
Answer: Premium product execution slowed due to retendering of domestic infrastructure projects (budgets vs. rising commodity costs). Delayed HTLS orders also impacted mix. Copper business grew 31% YoY, but premium segments await tender finalization. Recovery is expected as retendered projects resume.
Q3: Are conductor EBITDA/ton (~INR 29,500) and cable margins (lower YoY) sustainable?
Answer: Conductor margins dipped due to lower premium product execution and export mix shifts (lower U.S. sales). Annual guidance remains INR 28,500"“30,000/ton. Cable margins face domestic competition; cost optimization and U.S. recovery may improve profitability.
Q4: Is the current margin a "new normal" due to export competition, or will premium mix recovery lift margins?
Answer: Export competition (e.g., China in Africa/Latam) and domestic mix shifts pressured margins. Recovery hinges on U.S. sales growth and premium product execution. Conductor margins may improve with order book execution (INR 7,600 crore, 37% premium).
Q5: How does U.S. margin compare to India/other geographies, and why are exports slow despite favorable dynamics?
Answer: U.S. margins are 3"“5% higher than India for like-for-like products due to stringent standards (UL approvals). Export delays stem from staggered deliveries and U.S. procedural hurdles. Inquiries are rising, and freight disruptions (Red Sea) are easing.
Q6: Could government capex slowdown and industry overcapacity hurt domestic demand?
Answer: Retendering (due to cost revisions) delayed execution but pent-up demand remains. Transmission line/substation additions lag targets, but tenders are refloating with higher budgets. Railways, renewables, and defense sectors support growth.
Q7: What is the growth outlook for Wires, and is there industry overcapacity?
Answer: Wires grew 46% YoY (9M FY25) via expanded distribution (67% growth). Capacity isn't a constraint; APAR focuses on high-quality products and B2B channels. The segment targets INR 350+ crore revenue in FY25.
Q8: How are you addressing Chinese competition in Australia/Africa/Latam?
Answer: Chinese pricing advantages (subsidized aluminum) are temporary. APAR prioritizes margins over volume in competitive markets, redirecting capacity to domestic demand. Sustainability of China's pricing is doubted.
Q9: What is the U.S. cable opportunity size and approval progress?
Answer: The U.S. imports ~$20 billion cables annually. APAR addresses ~50% of this (UL-approved products). Utility approvals are in early stages (300+ utilities, 25"“30 large ones), with reps and demos ongoing.
Q10: Is Q3 FY25 the margin bottom, and what's the FY26 outlook?
Answer: Margins should improve with U.S. recovery, premium product execution, and cost initiatives. Guidance: Cables (25% revenue growth), Conductors (10% volume growth), and Oils (5"“8% volume growth). Industry 4.0 adoption may boost productivity.
