The company posted nearly static top lines for FY23 and FY24, while its net profit declined in FY24. However, it showed significant growth in its top and bottom lines in FY25.

Management Commentary

  • Management states that demand in the power sector is quite huge and is expected to remain strong for the next five to seven years, driven by data centers, railways, and EVs.
  • The company is quadrupling its manufacturing capacity from 16,600 MVA to 63,000 MVA with two new plants, aiming to become one of India’s largest transformer manufacturers.
  • A key strategy is venturing into higher-rating transformers (400 kV and 765 kV) to tap into the central transmission market, where there is a shortage of supply.
  • The company is well-positioned in the renewable energy space, with inverter duty transformers for solar applications constituting 10-12% of the order book.
  • The management is also looking at export markets to ensure stable margin growth in the future.

Opinion

I will apply for the IPO.

  • Strong Growth & Industry Tailwinds: The company has demonstrated strong financial growth, with revenue and profit showing significant increases in FY25, and is well-positioned to benefit from the rising demand in the power and renewable energy sectors.
  • Capacity Expansion: A four-fold increase in manufacturing capacity and entry into ultra-high voltage transformer segment.
  • Robust Order Book: A healthy order book of over ₹16,429 crore provides revenue visibility for future.
  • Atlanta Electricals’ profit for FY25 saw a downward pressure from a loss from the acquisition of BTW-Atlanta Transformers India Pvt Ltd, whose operations contributed a net loss around Rs. 14 crore in FY25. Revenue was not yet reflected or was negligible for the year. The plant acquired is expected to see a turnaround starting FY26, and the addition of large manufacturing capacity starting from FY26.
  • Post IPO equity capital: ₹15.38 crore, P/E for FY 24: 91.50 times, P/E FY25: 48.87 times.
