the EBITDA margin expanded by 470 bps to 12.8%.
The launch of our Electric LCV at the Auto Expo in New Delhi was met with a very favourable
response, expected to commercially launch by Q3 2024 and we are in discussion with several
potential partners to strengthen our market reach. We are making steady progress towards
further enhancing the breadth and diversity of our portfolio that encompasses
comprehensive mobility solutions.”

Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, good day, and welcome to the Q3 & 9M FY23 Eamings Conference Call
of Electronics Mart India Limited.

statements are not the guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that
are difficult to predict.
As a reminder, all participants’ lines will be in the listen-only mode, and there will be an

I now hand the conference over to Mr. Karan Bajaj - CEO of Electronics Mart India Limited.
Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Karan Bajaj: Thank you. Good evening, and a warm welcome to everybody present on the call. Along with
me I have Mr. Premchand Devarakonda — CFO and Strategic Growth Advisor, our Investor
Relationship Advisor.
We have uploaded our ‘Results and Investor Presentation’ for the quarter and 9 months on the
Stock Exchange and the Company's website today. Hope everyone had a chance to go through
the same.
On 17 October '22, Electronics Mart India Limited got listed on BSE and NSE. It was a
momentous day for all of us. And thank you to all the stakeholders who have believed in us.
In the 9 months of FY '23, we have opened 19 new stores. Currently, we have 122 stores, 109 of
which are multi-brand stores and, 13 are exclusive brand outlets. Out of 122 stores, 102 stores
are leased, 12 are owned, and 8 are partly owned and partly leased. As on date, we are present
in 38 cities across four states, and we have recently entered Kerala as well.
We continue to focus on deepening our presence in the regions we operate in before venturing
into the new market, which has led us to establish brands present in Telangana and Andhra
Pradesh markets. This enables the target customers to identify with our brands as well as with
the product portfolio and helps our understanding of the market segment and the customer
demand preferences. We believe this approach also enables us to achieve significant market
share and dominate in the market we operate in.
We plan to continue to deepen our store network in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and also
gradually plan to expand our network in the new region that we ventured, that is Delhi NCR in
pursuing our defined cluster focused expansion strategy. We plan to open 26 MBOs in NCR, 22
MBOs and 10 exclusive brand outlets in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in the coming future

and adopt a methodological approach in evaluating and selecting locations. We believe that our
local market knowledge, supply chain efficiencies and effective inventory management have
enabled us to attain higher cost competitiveness and consistent profitability. Our customized
product assortment and comprehensive product portfolio enable us to achieve better visibility,
brand recognition, deeper market penetration and an increased customer base.
We have 9 large centrally located warehouse facilities now, which are backed by individual
storage areas at store levels of varying sizes to cater to individual stores or a group of stores.
Coming to Q3, we have delivered strong growth of 17% revenue year-on-year at Rs. 1,482 crores
compared to 1,265 crores of last year, with a 17% growth and 32% year-on-year for the 9 months
FY '23 at 4,118 crores.
On account of investments made to open new stores in the new geography that is NCR, the
company had increased investment in brand building, sales, and marketing. And these
investments have lowered the EBITDA margin, which is expected to improve as the revenue
throughput from new geographies increases.
To conclude, I would like to say that after having established a leadership position in the Andhra
Pradesh and Telangana region electronic market, we have now entered Delhi NCR where we
plan to capture significant market share over the few years.
In the southern region, we plan to expand our footprint in places like Vijayawada, Tenalli,
Guntur, Kurnool, Nellore, and more Tier-2, and Tier-3 cities in the existing clusters by the
With this, I request our CFO Mr. Premchand Devarakonda to update you on the financial
performance of the company. Thank you.
Premchand Devarakonda: Thank you, Karan sir. Good evening, and a warm welcome to all the participants. Now, I would
like to present the financial overview of Q3 of FY '23.
The total revenue for Q3 of FY '23 stood at 1,482 crores as against 1,265 crores of Q3 FY '22,
with a growth of 17% year-on-year. For nine months of FY '23, our revenue stood at 4,118 crores
as against 3,119 crores of 9 months FY '22 with a growth of 32% year-on-year.
EBITDA for Q3 of FY '23 stood at 72.8 crores as against 77 crores of Q3 of FY '22. There isa
degrowth of 5% year-on-year, whereas for 9 months of FY '23, EBITDA stood at 245.2 crores
as against 203.2 crores of the corresponding period of FY '22. There has been a growth of 21%
year-on-year. EBITDA margins for Q3 of FY '23 stood at 4.9, whereas for 9 months, it stood at
6%.

As already mentioned by our CEO, our initial operating and branding expenses while expanding
our operations in the new territory, that is NCR, have impacted these margins.
PAT for Q3 of FY '23 stood at 21.9 crores as against 27.7 crores of Q3 FY '22, a degrowth of
21% year-on-year. And for 9 months of FY '23, PAT stood at 86.7 crores as against 68.6 crores
of this period. It had a growth of 26% year-on-year.
Annualized ROCE and ROE for 9 months of FY '23 stood at 12.7% and 9.8% respectively. The
working capital days as on 31% December stood at 49 days. The gross debt to equity is 0.4x, and
the net debt to equity is at 0.1x, which was considerably improved on account of the IPO.
Our net debt to EBITDA stood at 0.66x. Our cash flow from operations before working capital
changes for 9 months of FY '23 stood at Rs. 244 crores, which is almost equivalent to our
EBITDA.
During the reporting period, our same-store sales growth rate stood at 23.5%. During nine
months period, the composition of sales of electronic and consumer durables has been 48% from
large appliances, 37% from mobiles, and 15% from small appliances, IT products and others.
Out of the total sales, around 98% has been from the retail segment, and the top five brands
With this, I would like to open the floor for questions. Thank you one and all.
Moderator: Thank you very much. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. The first question
is from the line of Krisha Kansara from Molecule Ventures PMS. Please go ahead.
Krisha Kansara: Sir, my first question is regarding Delhi NCR. So, if you could just give a brief about the size
and the number of stores opened in this new geography? Also, sir, what is the current run rate
of sales coming from Delhi NCR? And have we achieved breakeven now? That is my first
question.
Karan Bajaj: Delhi NCR, as we talk, we are operating 12 stores there, 8 stores were launched on the 14" of
August, and 4 other stores were launched on 22" of October. Right now we would look at these
stores performing after certain gradual growth that we would be expecting. Post Diwali we saw
these stores stabilizing a little bit, and then the biggest season there is summer, which will start
off from April.
So, Delhi on a whole, as a scenario right now, usually when we look at 12 to 14 months
breakeven in the existing market, Delhi, we were assuming that Delhi would be breakeven for
us in the period of 18 to 20 months, a little higher because of the new geography and a new brand
altogether.

But what we expect for a store to perform on a year one average of 25 plus crores. So, the
throughput on those lines are in track, and once we churn the summer season, that is when we
would be looking at the initial growth of year one, year two and year three, which would be
higher, and then the store stabilizing and maturing after year four onwards. So, that is the
trajectory that we have seen in the past in the existing market, and we are hoping that in the
Delhi market also, we would be on the same track.
Krisha Kansara: Currently, like what percentage of sales would be coming from this Delhi NCR stores?
Karan Bajaj: In Q3, the sales percentage that have added up was around 54 crores, and for the first nine months
because there were few weeks of Q2 also that added up, so the first nine months, the total revenue
Krisha Kansara: And sir, so you have recently opened a few kitchen stores, specialized stores. So, currently, how
much do they contribute to the top line?
Karan Bajaj: Kitchen Stories is a specialized store format, and we have one store in Vishakapatnam and two
in Hyderabad. And we have recently taken over the operations of the Kerala store as well, but
the stores that we are about to launch will be launching in the month of Apmil. So, technically
today, the store is not operational in Kerala, but we are booking sales there. But apart from that
the existing stores that we have in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam, they deliver a very miniscule
share, because it is specialized store only for very high-end categories of this kitchen appliances.
And it is a tie up between the German modular kitchen brand Hacker. So, for that reason, these
are all incubation stores where the gross margins are much higher than our regular stores, but
here we would look at, you know, lesser throughput. So, the average stores would do around 15
crores to 18 crore rupees for these specialized store formats.
Krisha Kansara: And sir, how many more such stores do you plan to open in near future?
Karan Bajaj: We are not looking at opening more of these stores, because this has to do with the tie-up for the
kitchen as well. So, probably, one or two more stores in the coming few years. Nothing on the
plan to expand this store format.
Krisha Kansara: And sir, last question. So, currently, the contribution from mobile is around close to 40%. So, I
just want to understand how has this contribution changed over the years. And can we easily
expect that this contribution will remain in the range of 30% to 40% going forward also? Or in
your opinion, will it increase?

Karan Bajaj: No. So, what happened is few months like if suppose it is the quarter of summer, where the
cooling products like refrigerators, air coolers and air conditioners are a category will start
delivering more, automatically mobile as a category, the penetration, the percentage of share of
these products has to reduce, whereas few months where like December or November or post-
summer, few of the months you would look at a higher share of this category. The lowest would
be as low as 32%, 33%. And again, the highest would be around 40%. If we average it out on an
annual basis for the nine months, it comes to around 35% or 36%. That is the number that we
Krisha Kansara: And sir, are we seeing any demand slowdown in this segment?
Karan Bajaj: In Mobile, not at all. In fact, we are just about to launch the Samsung S23 as well, and we are
seeing quite a good demand coming in for that model. We saw good demand coming in for the
14 series of Apple as well. Suppose the 5G launch completely we were expecting, you know,
there will be a lot of churn in the next coming few quarters which would bring in little more
growth in this category in terms of ASP going up because the 5G devices are going to be on the
higher price segment. But one advantage that we had in the last stx months is we have been
already selling a major number of 5G devices. So, we are already there, you know, showcasing
the 5G technology in our stores. So, you know, we believe that post the rollout of SG completely
in the existing markets that we are operating, we would look at definitely a churn coming in for
devices from 4G to converting to 5G devices.
Krisha Kansara: So, in your presentation, it's mentioned that currently, you have just 12 owned stores, right? So,
how will this number move going ahead? Like, will we be opening more such owned stores? Or
will those be on lease only?
Karan Bajaj: Yes. It is more like a 80-20 split right now, whereas the 80 properties are approximately leased.
Around 20 properties, around 12 properties are completely owned by us, and 8 properties are
partly owned, which means that if suppose we have two stores in that building, one is owned
and one is leased, when you are operating the stores, and out of that, seven to eight stores are
what we have actually decided to buy in Delhi NCR. It was a major investment that we made in
the last 12 months, out of which 3 stores are operational.
Five more stores of the property that we have bought are yet to be operational in Delhi, which
will get operational in the next few quarters. So, going forward, it is going to be a mix. You
know, the majority is a mix of lease-out properties, and very few selective locations we would
be buying out. The Delhi expansion was planned on buying out the bigger ones, and we have
already done the buying out in Delhi. So, we don't see a major requirement for buying out
properties in the existing markets.
Moderator: Thank you. The next question is from the line of Deepak Poddar from Sapphire Capital. Please
go ahead.

February 10, 2023
Deepak Poddar: Sir, I just wanted to understand, I mean, you mentioned that this margin decline this quarter was
because of the increased investment. So, is it possible to kind of quantify the investment that we
would have done in brand building or sales and marketing in this particular quarter?
Karan Bajaj: Yes, Deepak. One major change that we did compared to the last year was 4.5 crores of cashback
that we had paid out for the financing and the cashback that we do in the stores during the festival
period. So, that was a major expenditure that we made of 4.5 crores. And if you look historically,
what is the marketing spend that we made, that was another major spend that would include the
Delhi launch and all the lucky draws and all the other offers that we do. So, those were two
major spendings that we did. And given all calculated when it comes to Delhi, it was expected
to burn a little initially because it takes a little time for the stores to stabilize.
But what I can say is that in terms of what our expectations were in stabilizing the stores, I think
we are on track on doing that. And once we open a few more stores in Delhi and stabilize there,
the marketing cost again would be in hands with our sale revenue. We are not expecting anything
out of the box to go wrong in Delhi right now. Everything is under control there. The spending
majorly would be pertaining to the cashback of 4.5 crores approximately and the marketing. So,
that is the effect on EBITDA.
Deepak Poddar: So, what would that total be? So, 4.5 crores is the cashback, and the Delhi launch, the incremental
Karan Bajaj: Sir, only Delhi incremental. It was an incremental in our spend in the Tier-2, Tier-3 cities in
Andhra and Telangana as well. The bifurcation would be given to you. I will ask the team to
send you the bifurcation as well. But the total amount was around 10 crores rupees spent between
the existing markets and Delhi which was an incremental cost in that quarter.
Deepak Poddar: The total sales and marketing spend is about 7 crores. Out of that about Delhi launch would be
included there.
Karan Bajaj: No, it would be much higher. It is not 7 crores. It is much higher.
Deepak Poddar: No, I was just trying to understand the third quarter, not the nine months. Third quarter what is
the spending?
Page 7 of 17

Electronics Mart India Limited
Electronics Mart India Limited
February 10, 2023
Deepak Poddar: 22 crores. So, that is our marketing spend, right? And that would include our Delhi launch.
Deepak Poddar: And how much was this spend in the second quarter?
Deepak Poddar: So, incremental we can say that 12 crores would have come, right? I mean, on a quarter-on-
quarter basis.
Karan Bajaj: The 10 crores which I have told you that is the incremental spend that we did.
Deepak Poddar: And addition to that would be 4.5 crores cash back, right? That would be additional.
Karan Bajaj: There was a cashback of 4.5 crores. We didn't carry out any cashback last year for the same
period. So, we didn't come out with cashback. And majorly, this marketing is even for Andhra
and Telangana stores, because that is where we are not stabilized and the stores are maturing.
So, we had started spending in those territories as well. And these Tier-2 markets and all are
very heavy on vernacular newspapers majorly. So, that is the only major medium for us and
theatres. And these are two expensive mediums. We don't have too many options in terms of
marketing because we don't have outdoor hoardings and radio in these Tier-2, Tier-3 cities. So,
the major spend goes through and marketing goes through either theatres or through the
newspaper. Both are quite heavy in terms of the money required for advertising.
Deepak Poddar: And, sir, this margin front, I mean, we have always been saying that 7% is a kind of a steady
state EBITDA margin for us, right? Now this quarter was around 5%. So, I mean, this journey
towards 7%, would you expect that to kind of achieve in FY '24 as a whole? I mean, some
Karan Bajaj: Deepak, if you look at the 9-month number, it is around 6%. So, we don't see a drastic drop
there. In FY '23 Q4 also, I would say that because we have already passed 3/4" of the quarters,
and we know significantly how the product mix is going, and how the demand for cooling
products is coming in. And then you can check historically how Q4 would deliver. So, we are
on track on achieving the numbers that we had given out in the market earlier in terms of our
estimation, and FY '24 also, we are expecting because the stores in Andhra, Telangana will
mature. We will be opening new stores as well. Delhi also would be stabilizing by Q2 after the
April, May, and June summer period. So, we were expecting that things would be in line for FY
'24 as well.

Deepak Poddar: So, fourth quarter as well as FY '24 we are expecting that 7% EBITDA martin band, would that
be fair to kind of understand?
Karan Bajaj: Sir, I would not say that. I am not exactly pointing out at a certain number. But what I would say
it would be in line with what our expectations are, and it would not be a drastic jump or high or
a low in that number. But we would definitely try to achieve this because it would depend on
the product mix as well, where the cooling products like AC, refrigeration and air coolers would
give us a higher gross margin. And that would automatically help us increase the number.
Deepak Poddar: And my last question is on your revenue. I mean, we have been talking about when you were
20%, 25% revenue CAGR, right? I mean, two to three years. So, we are holding on to that?
Karan Bajaj: Yes. If you look at the first 9-month number, we are upwards of 32% growth through the Q3 of
FY '23 was at 17%, but post Diwali, if you see the markets were down really bad. But we were
still able to achieve good throughput during December as well. And we have got confident in all
the operations stabilizing across the newer geographies also. I think we are on track for that as
well.
Moderator: Thank you. The next question is from the line of Sameer Gupta from IIFL Securities. Please go
ahead.
Sameer Gupta: The first question is the SS growth of 10.5% this quarter that you have clogged. So, we are
basically witnessing a slowdown across consumer discretionary categories, especially after
Diwali. So, just trying to understand this 10.5% SSS growth in that context. Is it because, like
after October, the sales for you are anyways very low in this quarter, and that is why you are not
seeing any slowdown brunt? Or is it that you have bugged that trend and performed really well?
Karan Bajaj: Yes, the 10% approximate same-store growth has come in for Q3 alone. But that is not being
there for Q2 and QI. I mean, April, Q4 also, we would look at a different trajectory, but
definitely, yes, it was a major slowdown. Usually, we would see a slowdown for a couple of
weeks after Diwali, but then this time, that got a little more delayed for another three or four
weeks. So, it went up till almost December first week. But then we were averaging out what
numbers we could do. That brought down the SSG as well during that period. But then I don't
see that one-off incidence happening during that period, but we are back on track again in Q4.
So, we would see a much higher SSG coming in the future as well.
Sameer Gupta: Just a follow up on this. So, are you seeing any sort of, see, SS growth Y-o-Y can be misleading
because there is an Omicron in the base and all those anomalies are there, but on a sales per
store, something like, a metric which is better to track, are you seeing any better traction in the
fourth quarter or things are more or less similar?

oo.
Karan Bajaj: See, there would be a different trajectory coming in for Q4 because we’ve already passed 6
weeks, so we know what is happening and most of the stores, there was nothing additionally
done apart from the Delhi stores as an expansion. The SSG eventually, the majority of them
would be coming from the matured stores. So, we are quite happy with what we're delivering.
And we see a performance coming in from a matured store as well as for the new stores. Once
the new stores stabilize, we’ll definitely be looking at a much higher SSG coming in the near
future.
Sameer Gupta: Second question is this 5% margin that you have reported? And my sense is that a large part of
this is because of the Delhi 12 stores that you have added during the year. Now, out of the 19
stores that you have added, 12 are in Delhi and you just mentioned that a Delhi store typically
would take 18 to 20 months for breakeven versus the normal 12-month trajectory for your other
stores. Now, with the growth construct being similar, going forward that two-thirds of the
additions will be in Delhi, how are you so confident that you will get back to the 6.5% EBITDA
margin trajectory. I mean, just by the math of this bigger breakeven period for Delhi should
actually skew the margin to the lower side, right?
Karan Bajaj: But Sameer, see, initially, there might be a drop off of1 percentage or 2 percentage in the gross
margin levels in Delhi operations. But then, not necessarily that Delhi is contributing to a much
higher revenue number coming in from there initially. And Sameer, one more thing is that the
product mix in Delhi initially today, when you compare to our existing market, where we see a
35% plus mobile phone contribution, which is one of the lowest gross margin categories with
7% coming from IT, whereas we have the larger product selling better in Delhi today for us and
we’ve not even completed the summer season which is one of the largest contributing seasons
in Delhi as a region. So, only after we complete one season of summer or one complete year of
different seasons of all 4 quarters, that is where we will be able to completely in depth analyze
and tell you the complete detail of that. It is too early for us to comment, it has hardly been 5-
1/2 months of operations for 8 stores and 3-1/2 months for 4 stores. So, it will be too early for
us to comment. But what we can look at right now in Delhi as an overall strategy is that we are
able to achieve a certain decent throughput for us to be on the path of achieving Rs. 25 crores
plus for every store. So, that is more important for us initially where you know the extraction is
there. And it is not a burn per se, but it is an extraction that we're looking at right now. And then,
it will eventually stabilize and then create a market presence for itself. So, that is what's
important for us initially.
Sameer Gupta: Sorry, I didn't get that number; Rs. 25 crores sales per store on an annual basis in Delhi, that's
what you're targeting?
Karan Bajaj: Yes Sameer, historically, what we look at is whenever we open a new store, how we look at the
calculation of breakeven is that if it is an existing market, we look at a Rs. 30 crores throughput
for year 1, then gradually increasing in year 2, then year 3 and stabilizing or maturing after year
4 onwards. So, it will take around 4 years for it to mature. But in the existing market, at Rs. 30
Page 10 of 17

February 10, 2023
crore number, we would break even between 12-14 months. That is the number historically what
we’ve delivered. So, looking at that, Delhi, because it’s a newly competitive market, we'll
position ourselves to Rs. 25 crores for year 1, so that is the number that we look at. And because
the throughput being Rs. 25 crores, we look at a higher breakeven period, which is around 18 to
20 months. So, that is why these numbers were given out and these are all conservative numbers,
but on track, like few of those stores might achieve that much sooner, few of the stores might
take a month or 2 later, but in line with what we will be looking at.
Moderator: Next question is from the line of Rakesh from HDFC Mutual Fund. Please go ahead.
Rakesh: Sir, to understand this other expenses line here slightly this is roughly about Rs. 21 crores
increase on a quarter-on-quarter basis and roughly about Rs. 22 crores if I look at your third
quarter last year, right? So, you can help us understand how much of this has been in terms of
breakup marketing; what has contributed to this increase? Maybe that will help us understand
your margin profile slightly better.
Karan Bajaj: I will give you a detailed break up on this. The major numbers that we looked at where the
expenses have increased, a few of them are directly proportionate to the sales itself, which are
sales promotions, the dealer finance charges, credit card charges and all, which have increased
around Rs. 7 crores. And marketing expenses have increased a little bit. Maintenance, power
and fuel because you added new stores, so electricity costs, fuel cost for generators and all that,
that has increased a little bit, that is around Rs. 1.7 crores. Other expenses, which would include
all of these other things like sales promotion, DBD, credit card charges, and cashback offers, all
of that put together has brought in the major increase, out of which 50% of the major increase
has only come in from the marketing and advertising front.
Rakesh: So, 50% is the extra spend that you have done. Would that be a fair understanding of how the
cost is working out?
Karan Bajaj: Sir, if I give you the first 9-month number, around Rs. 28 crores of profitability was the
marketing spend for the first 9 months, which is adding to Rs. 45 crores. So, this would include
the lucky draws Rs. | crore cash prize, the cars, the Rs. 50 lakh cash prize that we started in
Delhi also. So, from Rs. 28 crores, directly a jump to Rs. 45 crores was in marketing itself and
the sales promotion costs on say, Rs. 71 crores increased to Rs. 106 crores. So, that was another
major spend around Rs. 30 crores, which is directly proportional to the sales because now cash
transaction have reduced a lot. Customers are buying everything on credit cards and debit cards.
So, for every transaction, there is a MDR charges the bank charges around 1.2%. Then all
cashbacks on the UPI payments and all of that. So, all of these include in the sales promotion.
Even the paper financing costs that we bear, which is interest cost, and the dealer buydown cost.
So, these costs have gone up in the expense report.
Page 11 of 17

February 10, 2023
Rakesh: So, can you help us understand slightly better in the sense that what is the cost, which is, let’s
say, not proportional to your sales, which has gone higher because of which the margins became
lower and what would be the normal trajectory going-forward? So, if look at cost, right, as a
percentage of sales or other expenses as a percentage of sales, it’s roughly about 5.6% to 5.8%,
third quarter or for the previous quarter, and currently sitting at 6.3%, there’s about 50 basis
point or 70 basis point increase, if I look at it on a like-to-like basis, year-on-year basis, right?
What has contributed to the 70 basis point of incremental spend, because that will not be limited
to the proportion of sales?
Karan Bajaj: Correct. Not 100% of it, but different heads over the smaller portion, but the majority of them is
what I told you. I will ask Prem sir, our CFO, to get in detail with you on that right away on the
call and explain it to you.
Premchand Devarakonda: Power and fuel are one of the major expenditures that are for the 9-month period. This has been
0.69% of the revenue during the current financial year as against 0.6% of the previous financial
year. Then another major expenditure is maintenance. So, that includes housekeeping as well as
watch and ward. During the 9-month period of the current financial year, it is 0.66% as against
0.63% of the previous year of the revenue. Then advertisement has already been mentioned, it
has been 1.19% of the revenue as against 0.95% of the previous financial year. Then we have
business promotion expenses, which are nothing but for that lucky draws and other launching
activities which we carried out. So, that has been 0.22% during the current 9-month period as
compared to 0.09% of the previous financial year. And apart from that, sales promotional
expenses which have been 2.81% during the current 9-month period which has been 2.46%
during the previous financial year.
Rakesh: Going forward, how should we look at these 3 bigger items advertisement and promotions,
business promotions and the affiliated marketing, right? All of these costs have gone higher in
this quarter. So, what I'm trying to understand is going forward what could be normal trajectory.
If you see the third quarter what you have seen last year, this year, it’s going to be a normal
trajectory going forward. Do you expect these numbers to come down as a percentage of sales?
Premchand Devarakonda: That’s right, sir. Once the store throughput improves in Delhi NCR, obviously, these costs as a
percentage of sales will come down.
Rakesh: So, in that scenario, I mean how would you achieve 7% EBITDA margin in rest of ’24.
Karan Bajaj: Sir, costs like rental, manpower, and advertising expenses, they are directly proportional to the
sales throughput per store. Right now, a lot of the rental cost that we proportion, for example the
advertising cost or sales promotion, all of these work for a limited number. So, say, for example,
if I'm doing a Rs. 50 lakhs draw next year in the same quarter, I would have 25 stores in Delhi
or 20 stores in Delhi, the number of spend or the number of advertising that we would do in the
same quarter would remain the same but would get divided on the increase of stores would give
Page 12 of 17
EMI>
Electronics Mart India Limited
Electronics Mart India Limited
February 10, 2023
us a higher throughput or a higher revenue overall. So, in that proportion, will definitely come
down. But initially, because Diwali and Dussehra, it was a period during that quarter, we were
new market players, we had to be at par with advertising with the larger players. So, we could
not step back on that. So, this is all calculated initially when we started our operations in Delhi.
So, in Hyderabad, in AP, Telangana, the existing market, there was not an incremental increase
in advertising. Just to give you a number there, the proportion that we spent on advertising and
all other aspects of marketing was definitely much lower than what our sales percentage would
be. So, that is in line. So, anything would happen in Delhi, but not probably this quarter, probably
next year in the same quarter; we would definitely look at a similar spend with a higher
throughput coming out from that market.
Rakesh: And one last question. What is the seasonality in your business, especially in terms of gross
margin? So, this quarter gross margin is 13%. Last year, same time was 13.3 percent but that
was also I believe was our lowest quarter during the 4 quarters. How should we generally think
of gross margin seasonality going forward for the 4 quarters, which quarters would be higher,
typically what trend so that they get some sense of what is the normalized margin? I would
assume that you're still guiding 14% gross margin for the year.
Karan Bajaj: Rakesh, sir, majorly, the highest grossing category or the product category that we sell is AC
and cooler. This season, AC and cooler will sell automatically, we had a higher gross margin
during that period. But summer would again, or the weather would again play a very important
role for us. For example, this year, we would say in FY24, Q1, we would look at a longer summer
for us, because Delhi also would add up to numbers coming in, not very big number but some
numbers coming in from that region as well, because the summer is elongated there, and will go
as long as June-July. So, if we are lucky enough with the weather supports us, we'll be able to
deliver a higher throughput for AC, cooler as a category. So, we would look at the quarter where
the cooling products would give us a higher GP. So, blended GP for those quarters would
definitely be higher. If you look at historical data also, number 1.
Number 2, Diwali or festival period definitely on paper would give you a higher margin, but
then again, that is one of the only periods where the discounting becomes the highest as well
because it is the most competitive, cutthroat market that happens from customers point of view
where everybody's got an ad, everybody's running an offer. So, though you get an extra margin
or an extra benefit during the festive period from the brands will negotiate better, but then
eventually, it boils down to discounting that on the floor. So, otherwise, cooling product
category, AC, cooler, and refrigerator would be the highest grossing product category at any
time for us.
Moderator: The next question is from the line of Tushar Sarda from Athena Investments. Please go ahead.
Tushar Sarda: You mentioned that Delhi will achieve breakeven at around Rs. 25 crores sales per store. So, if
you can explain the store level economics of Delhi and also from the Delhi cluster, how the
Page 13 of 17
EMI>
Electronics Mart India Limited
Electronics Mart India Limited
February 10, 2023
economics would work out because some of the costs like advertisement and marketing would
be common. So, if you can just broadly explain, that would be helpful.
Karan Bajaj: So, sir, if | have understood your question correctly, so Delhi market, though the market size of
Delhi is much bigger than our existing market that we've been in, that was one of the reasons
that we entered that market. Rs. 25 crores were a very conservative number that we calculated
our breakeven at because obviously you didn't want anything to go out of line because the
margins that we control is not in our hands, but the expenses what majorly we can control. So,
we didn't want to take a very high rental or a very high manpower cost strategy there in Delhi.
So, we want to make sure that everything is in line till the time the brand stabilizes there. And
then we can look at avenues of increasing our margins in that region. So, night now, Rs. 25 crores
are what we look at for the delivery happening in year 1, and our costs are all calculated against
that. So, that is why we calculated an 18-month breakeven period where even if our margins or
gross margins which are 13%, 14% are lower to 11%, 12% or so in year 1, we’re still able to
deliver a breakeven in 18 to 20 months. That is the calculation, sir. That would increase the
Tushar Sarda: What is your store cost in Delhi individually? Roughly, should we assume Rs. 2 crores a year,
Rs. 3 crores a year including rentals and salaries and other overheads?
Karan Bajaj: Yes, sir. You're talking about the gross profit per store there in Delhi?
Karan Bajaj: It will be in that line, sir. But asI told you that only after we complete the summer season because
AC and cooler are a longer period season. Only we understand that period once because we have
not gone through that period in Delhi and cooling products being one of the highest grossing
product categories for us, so once we go through that churn, we see how the market is reacting,
we see how competitive the market is, whether we're still able to deliver a much higher gross
margin that we would do in Hyderabad or in AP & Telangana, how the competitive scenario
there is. Those things would only play out after the end of QI or Q2 in FY24. So, once we do a
complete churn, year churn, we’ll be able to understand the market better and then comment
Karan Bajaj: 12 stores, the 13th, soft launch is done for that store in Noida Sector 18, where the official launch
Tushar Sarda: And how much do you plan to spend on marketing next year in Delhi?
Karan Bajaj: Sir, the Delhi marketing plan would be in line with the revenue that we would generate. It would
be around in the line of Rs. 10 crores to Rs. 12 crores.

Moderator: The next question is from the line of action Akshat Mehta from Sameeksha Capital. Please go
ahead.
Akshat Mehta: So, my question was on your operating expenses. As you said that your advertising expense is
around, Rs. 10 crores to Rs. 12 crores on average. And this quarter also your ad expenses have
been around Rs. 22 crores. So, that forms around 1.5% to 2% of your overall revenues. But if
you look in the past data in 2021, ‘22, our ad expense forms more than 3%. So, I mean, why is
there a declining trend in advertising expenses? Or is that because of Delhi that we are spending
less amount there? Or what is the scenario there?
Karan Bajaj: Mr. Mehta, I didn’t understand your question. Can you repeat it once again, please?
Akshat Mehta: My question was that the numbers that you've given right now for quarter 2, quarter 3, your ad
expenses in those quarters, it forms around 1.5% to 2% of your own revenues for the quarter.
But in the past few years, 2021 and ‘22, your ad expenses in your Annual Report have been more
than 3% of your revenues. So, why is there a fall in advertising expense as a percentage of your
revenue going forward? I mean, is this something because of the Delhi side that we're spending
less in terms of as a percentage of revenues marketing in Delhi? Or what is the trend here?
Karan Bajaj: No, Mr. Mehta, in fact, the advertising expenses of previous historical years have been around
0.85, 0.9%. In fact, the COVID year, we spent one of the lowest amounts in advertising. If you
look at our advertising cost for FY22 versus the revenue, it should be around 0.8%, 0.9%. I don't
know, could be some added under the FY22 number where you're seeing a 3% advertising spend.
Whereas as you correctly said now, because of Delhi being added, the marketing spend from
0.8%, 0.9% would be looking at upwards of 1.3% to 1.4% for this and for the financial year.
Premchand Devarakonda: Sir, you must have added sales promotion to our advertisement because sales promotion is not
our advertisement. The sales promotion expenses include dealer buydown charges and other
incidental expenses.
Akshat Mehta: So, what would be the quantum of that in these 2 quarters, if you can share that?
Karan Bajaj: Mr. Mehta, ifI tell you like FY22 for the first 9 months, we spent Rs. 27.8 crores on advertising;
for the first 9 months of this year, we spent Rs. 45.1 crores. So, you could see a drastic change
in advertising and promotion compared to 9 months for FY22 and 9 months of FY23. If I give
you a quarter-on-quarter number, Q3 of FY22 spend Rs. 16 crores versus Q3 FY23. We spent
Karan Bajaj: Sales promotion from Rs. 71 crores in FY22 for the first 9 months, it went up Rs. 106 crores for
the first 9 months of FY23. And this is directly proportional to the credit card, debit card
financing, paper financing charges that we bear at the store level for customers.

February 10, 2023
Akshat Mehta: And my second question was on your gross margins, I mean your gross margin in the past for
like 4 years, it was Rs. 15.1 in around FY19; from there, it has come down to Rs. 13.7 crore in
FY22. And now it is in the first 3 quarters also it is coming down to 13%. So, what is driving
that reduction in gross margins currently?
Karan Bajaj: Definitely, yes. We were also a little surprised by 0.5% on Q3 numbers, because right after the
Diwali, we saw a major drop in the revenues for the first couple of weeks, which we had to take
an impact on. How 0.5% margin in our books would directly hit the bottom line is because your
other fixed expenditure remains the same, your rentals, your manpower cost, your cost of
inventory, borrowing costs and all remaining the same, but that 0.5% also would impact us in
terms of the number looking much higher or lower. Whereas historically in °19, ’18, ‘17 or that
kind of period, the contribution coming from IT, mobile sales were quite low whereas IT was
never higher and in FY19, also IT contribution was not more than 3%. IT contribution today
stands at 7%, which is one of the lowest gross margin categories and even mobile phones. Mobile
phones also stand at 35%, 36% today. If you look at the first 9 months number, the blended, the
gross margin level look at much higher compared to the Q3 gross margin level. Once we cross
in the Q4 period, which is Jan-Feb-March, when some are setting early, we would look at the
cooling products to start delivering a higher margin. That is why we are a little confident on how
the Q4 would turn up and that would eventually help us deliver the annual number for ‘23.
Akshat Mehta: I understand this is primarily on account of the changing mix, your product mix that has changed
a bit towards mobile as well as towards IT and other smaller appliances, correct?
Moderator: The next question is from the line of Preet Jain from Blue Jersey capital. Please go ahead.
Preet Jain: How is the response from Delhi NCR category? Are we facing any major competition there?
Karan Bajaj: Sir, Delhi NCR is one of the most competitive markets in the country, and there is no fun in not
competing in the market if you are there. So, we are getting, but it is not like a backlash that we
can't maintain or have to undercut a lot. But it is quite a reasonable market there because you
have to look at expenses and also because the retail scenario is a little different there compared
to other Southern or Western organized markets. So, you're competing a lot with brand stores
and with a lot of mom-and-pop stores. You have to make sure that you can deliver better
throughput and margin. Initially, yes, we were expecting it to be 10 basis points lower than what
we would expect in our existing market. But then once we cover up all the seasons, once we
understand the market, once we understand the preferences of the customers, then that is where
we will tweak our strategy and for the future, we should be ready for it.
Preet Jain: And sir, my second question is, can you provide us the segmental margin profile of large
appliances, small appliances and mobile segments?
Page 16 of 17

Electronics Mart india Limited . .
Electronics Mart India Limited
oo.
Karan Bajaj: Yes, sure. Mobile phones give us a margin of around 9%, large appliances will give us if I
bifurcate televisions, televisions would give us around 17%, washing machines, refrigerators
would give us around 18%, ACs and coolers would give us around 20% That is the historical
gross margin that we generate out of each category.
Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, this will be the last question for today. I would now like to hand the
conference over to the management for closing comments.
Karan Bajaj: I thank everybody for joining the call today. And I want to give a little flavor of how things are
working out. So, the revenue that we've generated for Q3, though we had a little downfall, the
market was a little slower in November and December, but we were still able to achieve our
projected numbers for Q3. And the first 9 months, we are on track. And January and February
we've already crossed January and 2 weeks of February. So, Q4 is also in control with us in
terms of what is happening. And we're quite confident that once the summer sets in a little early,
March quarter should be a good month for us. And eventually, we would be able to deliver a
suggested number that we'd given out during the IPO roadshows going forward as well. So,
thank you, everybody. And I'd like to thank our IR as well on the call. Thank you, everybody.
Moderator: Thank you. On behalf of Electronics Mart India Limited, that concludes this conference. Thank
you for joining us and you may now disconnect your lines.

453 crores and 30 crores, respectively, for the quarter ended December. For 9 months period,
we have delivered 86 crores of PBT, which is our guidance for the entire year.
This quarter is a good quarter, not only in terms of sales and profitability, but also in terms of
products delivered by the company. We have delivered the following systems to our customers
during the quarter. Radiation mode test and evaluation facility, 7.3-meter antenna system for
ITR, ST Radar for Calcutta University and PATM 2 for ITR.
We expect to deliver about 270 crores of sales during quarter four and reach an overall top line
of about 825 crores. Bottom line at the PBT level will be about 110 crores. We expect to end the
year with an open order book of about 1,750 crores. For the next financial year, we are confident
to book about 900 plus crores orders and deliver top line of about 950 crores and the bottom line
at PBT level of about 135 crores.
Long-term view for the next 5 years ending 2028, we are confident to deliver accumulative top
line of about 8,000 crores and carry over order book of 6,000 crores at the end of 2028. During
these years, we are confident to deliver bottom line at PBT level of 15% to 18% of revenue.

Before I open this discussion for question and answers, I introduce my new colleague, Mr. Atim
Kabra, who joined our Board as a whole-time director taking off looking after business and
strategy development from 1st January 2023. Atim, I warmly welcome you.
Atim Kabra: Thank you, S. G. And hello, everybody. As a fellow shareholder in my mind, I represent all
shareholders. And I am very excited by what I see in potential business at Astra. My desire is
that we delight Astra with radars, that we know that our company is a key enabler in electronic
warfare, and a key enabler of missile subsystems.
We know Astra as being a key player in satellite space. And lastly, its products in meteorology
and weather segments are important for the nation. We are looking at a significant growth phase
for the company, which has delivered a very healthy return to its shareholders with a 5, and we
are looking at a 5-year cumulative sales execution for cost of close to $1 billion in gross sales.
To put it in perspective, that's nearly 10 times our current sales trajectory cumulatively. And we
hope to grow our order book alongside to a very, very healthy number at the closing of year 5.
Even better is that we expect this rear-ended sales growth to be with improving margins and
rising return ratios.
Kudos to our R&D team, which is developing multiple exciting products under the leadership
of our Founder, Director, Mr. Chitrakar. And as Astra continues to go up the value chain, we are
right up there in systems and solutions already.
We are proud to be a part of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat. While we continue to work with our valued
partners from overseas and progress in our ARC JV with Rafael, Israel is a proof of this besides
our esteemed export partners. That's our vision. That's our very simple story. And we will explain
as we go along in the question-and-answer session. S.G., M.V.?
S. G. Reddy: Yes. Now this forum is open for question and answer.
Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question-and-answer session. We have our first
question from the line of Hitanshu Bhatia from Gandhi Securities. Please go ahead.
Hitanshu Bhatia: Congratulations on a great set of numbers Sir, I have two questions. One is on the 31st page of
the investor presentation, you mentioned NavIC and GPS receivers. So, could you throw some
more light on the prospects of it?
And the second would be that we have bid for the tender alongside some private players like
Alpha Design, Elena Geosystems and also Manjeera Digital Systems. So, what was the outcome
of that tender with regards to the NavIC and GPS I am talking about? Has it been awarded to
us?
And I mean also, I believe we have a customer relationship with the company Manjeera Digital
Systems. So, could you also elaborate on our relationship with Manjeera as well?
Page 4 of 17
Astra Microwave Products Limited
February 10, 2023
M. V. Reddy: So, this is regarding NavIC systems. As we have mentioned in last investor call, we have
invested in a startup company called Manjeera Systems with their professional in this VLSI
design and all. So, they are developing baseband chip and for NavIC products. And with using
that chip, we are developing subsystems like receivers for various applications, and also tracking
units, like vehicle tracking unit center, which are in development phase. So, currently, the
baseband chips are in the final stages, and we expect these particular chips to get qualified from
ISRO in the next one month timeframe. So, probably in the 6 months to 8 months timeframe,
we should be, you know, demonstrate these subsystems for NavIC applications. This is what we
have a road map as far as NavIC is concerned.
Hitanshu Bhatia: So, the potential in the NavIC and GPS receiver, if you could throw some more light on it?
M. V. Reddy: Huge potential is there. In fact, with the kind of applications which we are targeting, next 5
years, we should have at least about 2,000 crores worth of business, minimum business, what I
am talking about from the different sectors.
S. G. Reddy: I will add to this that to the best of our knowledge, there are only 2 companies in India, which
are developing this chip. So, around this chip, once it is approved, there will be not only us, but
other guys also who would be developing the subsystems, which are the receiver models, which
M.V. is talking about.
We will initially compete probably with imported chips. And we are very well placed in terms
of our costing and margins over there. So, this could be a very huge business as the business, as
the story translates into real-life applications.
Hitanshu Bhatia: So, the only doubt that I have is that if you have a customer relationship with Manjeera and you
would be competing with them on the same tender, so how would that go out?
M. V. Reddy: See, basically, initially, we competed. But now we are working together.
Hitanshu Bhatia: So, now there would be no conflict of interest with Manjeera and us then?
M. V. Reddy: Yes.
M. V. Reddy: Actually, if you look at that, we have a relationship with only for 1 particular product. Other
products even within NavIC feature, we may compete.
Hitanshu Bhatia: And in regards to the tender that we had bid, so have we won the NavIC tender with the Ministry
of Electronics affairs? Or what's the outcome of that tender, sir? Has the result come out yet?
M. V. Reddy: No. We on price front, actually, we are not there. But as I mentioned, Manjeera won the first
order, where we are invested in a particular product to get developed. But otherwise, the second
tender where we have participated on the price front, we lost it. .

Moderator: Thank you. Your next question from the line of Riya Verma from NR Securities. Please go
ahead.
Riya Verma: I just had two questions. Firstly, on the gross margin side, as there is an increase in our quarterly
margin for two consecutive quarters now, I just wanted to understand the sustainability of these
margins. So, if you could please elaborate a bit on the reason for this margin improvement, and
how sustainable these factors are in the future?
S. G. Reddy: The margins delivered by the company at the end of Q3 are sustainable for the future. In fact,
you can see an increment from now on. Your other question is, how the change in margins has
occurred? I didn't get your first question.
Riya Verma: Sir, I was just saying this margin improvement, what are the factors behind this? And is it
sustainable?
S. G. Reddy: Yes. It is sustainable that I already answered. In fact, it can improve. But the improvement is
coming in because of the change in the sales mix of the company. As explained in the past many
times, the domestic sales carry a higher margin compared to the export sales. Up to now, the
export sales are almost equivalent or more than the domestic sales. Going forward, the mix is
skewed towards domestic. Therefore, the increase in margins is happening. Improvement in the
margins is happening.
Riya Verma: And one more question. What would be the long-term sustainable PAT margin levels according
to you?
S. G. Reddy: So, PBT levels, I already said. Probably 15% to 18% is the one which is sustainable.
Moderator: Thank you. The next question is from the line of Vignesh Iyer from Sequent Investments.
Vignesh Iyer: Sir, I heard you are saying like revenue of 950 crores is expected, you are expecting around for
FY '24. And you mentioned 135 crores, what number did you mention 135 crores?
Vignesh Iyer: All the commentary on order book that you are expecting around 900 crores, can you explain to
us, what is the area you are targeting, and you are expecting to get majority of the orders from?
Like, say, if you could just say, if it's from the missiles, or which area of the defense? Just a
ballpark number will do.
M. V. Reddy: For next year, close to 1,000 crores we are targeting to book. Out of 1,000, 930 are from the
domestic sector. In that, Defense and Aerospace together close to 750 crores, and from space
Page 6 of 17
Astra Microwave Products Limited
February 10, 2023
sector about 100 crores. Meteorology and Hyderology put together about 80 crores. And the
exports, we have planned to book 150 crores.
Vignesh Iyer: And in exports also, we have almost like a similar margin profile to domestic?
M. V. Reddy: No. In exports, out of 150 crores, 50 crores is from BTS, again is BTS contracts, and 100 crores
BTP, which is of low margin.
Moderator: Thank you. We have next question from the line of Ketan Gandhi from Gandhi Securities.
Please go ahead.
Ketan Gandhi: Sir, as a follow-up on NavIC, the tender which we have lost, is it in L5 band or L5 and S dual
band module?
Ketan Gandhi: L-5, okay. And government, is there any mandatory fitment of the NavIC chip into mobile
telephone and all the other equipment?
M. V. Reddy: Yes. We expect these policies to be out. I think, government, in fact, what we heard is
government working towards that. And the only thing is that waiting for the more manufacturer
in this particular domain. Like, you know, only limited players have come with the indigenous
development. Now, once we see a greater number of players will be there, then I think probably
policies can be made. That is what we heard about from different agencies.
Ketan Gandhi: And sir, in ISRO document, it's written that L5 band's expected cost per unit is around Rs. 5,000
and L5 and S dual band is around Rs. 10,000 per unit. Is that understanding correct?
Moderator: Thank you. We have the next question from the line of Pulkit Jhunjhunwala an Investor.
Pulkit Jhunjhunwala: Just wanted to get some clarification on the fundraising that we had proposed to raise 400 crores.
Any ideas on that? Could you give us some clarity?
S. G. Reddy: Sure, we are on the job. Right now, the members voting is going on. And yes, we are on it.
Probably, you will come to know more developments maybe in the next fortnight.
Pulkit Jhunjhunwala: And is it like an issue of shares? Or like which model are we going for in order to raise that 400
crores. There will be dilution.
Page 7 of 17
Astra Microwave Products Limited
February 10, 2023
Pulkit Jhunjhunwala: And just while we are on it, I would just like to get the management's perspective on why do we
need this capital at this point in time? Is it for working capital for future orders?
S. G. Reddy: No, it is a mix of both. Primarily, as you know, the Defense Procurement Policy, there is a drastic
changes have come in where the government is encouraging the private sector to take the risk,
invest in new product development, get the product developed, so that the companies can
compete as and when this business is available.
And also because of this import embargo, a good amount of opportunities available for the
private sectors to identify their key areas where they have the expertise. And we should be able
to take that financial risk in developing those products and be ready for demonstration as and
when those opportunities arises.
The majority of this QIP or the fund raise is to make the company financially strong so that it
can invest in these technologies and develop their products. A small portion of that, of course,
is there for working capital. But I would say that the majority of that is for this kind of new
product developments.
Moderator: Thank you. We have the next question from the line of Subrata Sarkar from Mount Intra Finance.
Please go ahead.
Subrata Sarkar: Sir, couple of questions. First, sir, can you clarify one more the target which you have given for
2000 like after next 5 years, what kind of revenue and order book we were expecting that you
told like can you redo it once more, sir, for better understanding?
S. G. Reddy: For the next 5 years, starting from the financial year '24, we should be able to do a cumulative
sales of about 8,000 crores. Cumulative sales of about 8,000 crores. And at the end of the year
2028, we should have an order book of about 6,000 crores.
Subrata Sarkar: Sir, now from our presentation in 27 or slide 27, you have mentioned like we have expertise in,
you have given the expertise of various players across segment. And there we have mentioned
like we have system expertise. So, can you just elaborate a little bit, like which systems we are
talking about, and what is the potential of that system, sir?
S. G. Reddy: In fact, first of all, no, your voice is not very clear. It is breaking away. If we have heard it
correctly, you would like to know what kind of expertise we have in the systems. Am I right?
Subrata Sarkar: Yes, sir. You have mentioned like we have system expertise. So, I just wonder a little bit more
elaboration on that.

M. V. Reddy: Systems, you know, we have already started delivering radar systems. And we build a systems
group within Astra addressing radar and electronic warfare.
In Electronic Warfare segment, we just initiated designing the systems for airborne applications
and as well as for the ground application, whereas in radar, we are already delivering this
telemetry tracking radars and also small range surveillance radar. And we are developing
counter-drone radar. And also, we are planning to develop bird detection radar kind of radars we
have in pipeline.
So, likewise, we have developed the system expertise within the company. And apart from that,
in the future, going forward, in space domain also, we are trying to build payloads, satellite
payloads.
Subrata Sarkar: Last question, you have mentioned about like media purpose of this fundraising is major part
will go for new product development. So, if you can elaborate again a little bit more, like which
area, or which specific product we want to be prepared with so that there is a new opportunity
comes from the government side, defense side, we can explore that? So, if you throw some light
on what are the areas and new products we are trying to develop with these new funds?
S. G. Reddy: There are many projects which we could see having good potential, you know, in future and
which have been already come under import embargo. So, there we have picked up few projects.
And also based on the responses what we have sent and what we are having that confidence to
develop, so we could take the few projects development, which are basically in domain of radar
and electronic warfare in defense. And as far as the satellite is concerned, we are also getting
into the defense payloads. These are the few important projects which we picked up.
M. V. Reddy: Yes, we will not be able to share the names of the product.
S. G. Reddy: You know the negative list, which have come out, right? There are more than 400 items are in
the negative list.
S. G. Reddy: Out of more than 400 items in the negative let, we are right now operating in probably 40, 45
items only, which are in our domain, out of those 400 plus, of which we are operating currently
in around 15 which leaves us with a huge amount of products and which we can fill in, in the
negative list alone, while we are developing a whole range of other products in the segments
which M. V. Reddy just mentioned.
Moderator: Thank you. We have next question from the line of Viraj Shah from Shah Investments. Please
go ahead.
Viraj Shah: Just wanted to know, are we expecting any orders from Hindustan Aeronautics with respect to
the new helicopter plant?

M. V. Reddy: From HAL, we are expecting orders for that LCA, Uttam radar, and also going forward, other
airborne radars what we are going to develop for the airborne platforms.
Moderator: Thank you. We have next question from the line of Amit Dixit from ICICI Securities. Please go
ahead.
Amit Dixit: First of all, congratulations for a good set of numbers. I have couple of questions. The first one
is essentially, if you look at the Q4 results of, you know, other companies like HAL, BEL, even
BDL, they were tagged low on execution. So, going forward, do we see a risk of some of the
orders that we were expecting getting delayed in FY '24 for BEL in particular?
M. V. Reddy: As of now, whatever the numbers which we have mentioned, I think, we have a good probability
in booking these orders. And this is as on date, whatever visibility we have, with that only we
are presenting this. I think we should be in a position to book this 1,000 crores order in next
year.
Atim Kabra: But Amit, we are not a quarterly driven company. Amit, we are not a quarterly driven company.
Right? So, I think you have to look at this on a rolling quarter basis. There may be delays. Some
critical components may be delayed coming, etc., etc.
So, I think this company is not a company where you can put in place a quarterly number and
expect that we will hit that number every possible time, right? I think M. V. Reddy and S. G.
Reddy have done a tremendous job in terms of exceeding the targets which have been set out,
you know.
But be cognizant that there could be delays in the system itself, which can sometimes push the
numbers out. And sometimes, maybe we can get lucky also. And we can be getting some
excellent orders, which we may not have anticipated.
You are aware that recently, there are four Doppler radars were dedicated to the nation. The
minister came out and said that he is expecting Doppler radars to be installed all over the country.
Now that's a massive business, which we had not anticipated. But we will be getting a product.
We have delivered 10 Doppler radars to the country at this point in time. And that's a significant
piece of business, which is evolving, which was not anticipated also.
Amit Dixit: The second question is essentially, if it is possible to provide the breakup between BTS and BTP
orders, I mean, as far as the execution is concerned in this quarter? And going forward, what
would be the mix that you would be targeting between BTS and BTP?
M. V. Reddy: For the current quarter, we don't have any BTP exports order. But going forward, next year, as I
mentioned, out of the 150 crores, which we are expecting from the export segment, 50 crores
from the BTS and 100 crores from the BTP. Rest all in domestic, as you know, all are BTS
orders. We don't have any BTP in the domestic business.

Moderator: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Bhavik Shah from MK Ventures. Please
go ahead.
Bhavik Shah: Sir, I just wanted to understand the developments on the anti-drone front. So, you are going to
demonstrate it by January or February, if I am not wrong, you have mentioned in the last call.
So, sir, any update on that front?
M. V. Reddy: Yes. We are going to demonstrate it very soon. I think it's in the final testing stage. Definitely,
we will hear good news in the next few weeks' time.
Bhavik Shah: And sir, now could we sense what opportunity could this be for the company? Or we still need
to wait for that?
M. V. Reddy: Opportunity is there. Like we have participated a few tenders recently from Air Force and Army.
I think we are gearing up for a demonstration of this particular product. Once we are through,
then I think we will be in a position to inform you exactly how much business we can get in this.
But otherwise, opportunity wise, yes, we have a good amount of opportunity for this particular
radar.
Bhavik Shah: And sir, any developments on the space front? Like the last couple of years were not that good
for the space end. So, like, how do you see space going ahead?
M. V. Reddy: Yes. As you know that barring communication satellite sector, which, in fact, been open for
industries to take up plus ISRO is continually working on the strategic segment from which we
can expect the subsystem order from ISRO. And ISRO, I think, definitely, with some kind of a
business we can get for the couple of years. Apart from that, as I mentioned just now, we are
also trying to build satellite payloads for the strategic applications. That is something which we
are launching soon.
Bhavik Shah: And sir, any update on the CAPEX front, like what is our CAPEX till 9 months? And what could
be the CAPEX going ahead?
S. G. Reddy: Yes, for this financial year, the overall CAPEX will be about 25 crores. And up to 9 months, I
think we have spent close to about 15 crores.
Bhavik Shah: And any guidance on the CAPEX front for next year?
S. G. Reddy: Yes, for upgrading the existing requirements, probably we may be spending about 10 crores to
15 crores. But we have a larger plan in terms of creating facilities for the overall systems,
whatever we are planning for. Those details probably we can share with you in the next call once
this accuracy process gets over.
Moderator: Thank you. We have next question from the line of Shuja Sidiqque, an Investor. Please go ahead.
Page 11 of 17
Astra Microwave Products Limited
February 10, 2023
Shuja Sidiqque: So, my question is that there is a massive opportunity in defense today. The question to the
company is, what are the constraints that's stopping the company from either executing more
from the order book that is already there and getting more orders going forward? How do you
create the machine, which continues to be on the treadmill of getting more orders and executing
more orders?
S. G. Reddy: See, we are doing that. If you look at the profile of the products delivered by the company, it is
largely components and subsystems what we are doing. This product base has its own limitations
in terms of execution. But going forward, that is what we are sharing with you.
The overall environment is also changing where in the private sector has to be more aggressive
in terms of bidding for the projects which we are planning to do. Therefore, you see more
accelerated action coming in from the company in the near future.
Shuja Sidiqque: Are you in a position to share something at the moment about your future strategy?
S. G. Reddy: Future strategy, we have already shared. See, we are planning to raise some capital resources so
that we will be investing in new product developments so that we can compete with other people
when the market is actually opening.
Yes, that is what we are. We are graduating from a subsystem company to a systems company
in a bigger way. And accordingly, we are planning our actions so that we will be there to take
that market as and when it is open.
Shuja Sidiqque: Do you need some strategic tie-ups or anything like for you to develop more products and get
more strategic high-value products or you will develop all of this on your own?
M. V. Reddy: No, few products we are working with some foreign OEMs. One is that with joint ventures. We
have one joint venture with Rafael where we have added three other product lines apart from
that SDR what we are manufacturing in JV, like we have added electro-optics and all.
Similarly, we have some other products which we are discussing with some few OEMs. And
you will see a few announcements in the coming year or so. So, I don't want to reveal it at this
time.
Moderator: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Vignesh Iyer from Sequent Investments.
Please go ahead.
Vignesh Iyer: I just wanted to know what is on the semiconductor side, how is the availability as compared to
the earlier quarters? And if you could tell me what is our receivable days and working capital
cycle as on quarter three?
M. V. Reddy: As far as the availability of semiconductors is slightly improved as compared to the last quarter.
I think the lead times are coming like in a normal mode. But still, yes, it's not so comfortable as
Page 12 of 17
Astra Microwave Products Limited
February 10, 2023
we enjoyed pre-COVID situation. But, I think, maybe next one or two quarters, we expect that
should come in a normal mode. And as far as working capital, I think S. G. will answer.
S. G. Reddy: Yes, we have receivables of about 300 crores. Domestic is about 289, and exports is about 28
crores. In terms of the working capital days, it is typical to semiconductor industry where, I
mean, RF and microwave industry, where the stocking of inventory is one of the critical items
for execution of the projects on time. And also, these semiconductor devices, which is a very
critical input is available only from specific markets for actually the global leaders.
Therefore, we are forced to place orders in advance and sort the material for the entire project
duration cycle. Because of these factors, our working capital days are fairly high compared to
the normal industry. And currently, it is around 300 plus number of days is the working capital
days.
Vignesh Iyer: So, I think, if I am not wrong, our peak quarters as it comes to is around quarter three and quarter
four, and with how things are spanning out, are we still looking to front load the inventory going
ahead? Or we might see some inventory days coming down?
S. G. Reddy: No, I don't see in terms of inventory management, I don't see any major changes happening. As
it is now, we are struggling for availability of the semiconductor devices. Therefore, as and when
they are available, we have to buy and stock it. Therefore, at least in the near future, I don't see
any major changes coming in.
Vignesh Iyer: And sir, at the start of the call, you said that current quarter margins of like 23% is you are
comfortable, and you feel like this could be sustainable. So, when you say that, I mean, EBITDA
margins for the entire FY '23 you see it is more or less at the same level, right?
S. G. Reddy: No, I am only talking at PBT level. The current year, we are likely to end about 13% to 13.5%
of PBT. On a top line of about 825 crores, we are projecting we have a PBT of about 110 crores.
I said that these margins are sustainable, and there is a fairly good chance of improvement over
this.
Moderator: Thank you. Your next question from the line of Abhishek Dave from Bright Securities. Please
go ahead.
Abhishek Dave: I had one question. Sir, based on your current order book, can you give some guidance for the
next year?
S. G. Reddy: It's already done. At the top line, we will do about 950 crores, and bottom line will be close to
about 135 crores at PBT level.
Moderator: Thank you. We take next question from the line of Ashit Koti, an investor. Please go ahead.
Ashit Koti: My question is, sir, with drone technologies getting commercialized, is our Company planning
to get into providing sensors or any products or subsystems to this particular category?
Page 13 of 17
Astra Microwave Products Limited
February 10, 2023
Ashit Koti: Yes. I mean, sensors also would be required there also, right?
M. V. Reddy: But we are not addressing drone market. We are only addressing drone detection, like, you know,
on the drone system, but not in the drones. We are not operating in drones.
Ashit Koti: No, I got your point. My question was basically, since you are already anti-drone devices kind
of thing, so, alternately, when the drone technology being exploited commercially for
commercial applications, not the defense part of it. So, over there, there could be a need for so
many other things apart from, I mean, one of the major things would be sensors.
Ashit Koti: So, not so lucrative enough for us to look into it?
M. V. Reddy: No.
Moderator: Thank you. We take next question from the line of Simardeep from Negen Capital Services.
Please go ahead.
Simardeep: Just a little bit more strategic. Sir, could you just highlight some risks going forward in the
business? Like chip shortages, which was happening through Taiwan and some other ones, if
you can highlight some?
M. V. Reddy: See, the major risks are like timing of the orders. Based on the visibility what we have and the
information what we gather from our customers, we have been projecting, yes, there could be
delays here and there based on the PRTs and based on the delays on overall projects from OEM
and also from the user end. So, those kind of delays are always there in the defense market. As
you know, it is not something new.
And apart from that, on the execution front, yes, see, though the situation of the components,
especially in the semiconductor and power supplies, you know, we have been facing severe
shortage, that I think probably is slightly improved compared to the last two quarters, but still
lot more improvement is required in that particular domain. And because of that, probably, on
the execution front, like this current year also, we will be short of 20 crores as compared to the
original guidance. But we have factored all these points, but we will hope for the better situation
in the components industry going forward in the next year.
Simardeep: Sir, one last question. Sir, could you help me with some sort of more from the same clients, can
you get some more work? Or are you diversifying into more geographies as well?
S. G. Reddy: We are already there in the international market, apart from service in domestic industry.
Page 14 of 17
Astra Microwave Products Limited
February 10, 2023
M. V. Reddy: See, one is that, like, you know, in fact, Mr. Atim Kabra is looking after this particular area.
Like, we are trying to develop solutions for the countries by using our particular systems, what
we have today. And we are trying to sell the complete solution. It's too early to disclose about
these solutions. I think probably in maybe after, I think next investor call, probably we can share
in a detailed this thing road map for this. But otherwise, yes, we are trying to explore exports,
like international business, with a different concept.
Apart from that, from the existing product line, as I mentioned, my customers who are giving us
BTP business already started giving us BTS orders. We have initiated a couple of good inquiries,
which are trying to be materialized in the first quarter of next year. And we are discussing with
many companies for this BTS business as they are planning to develop systems for the Indian
market.
Atim Kabra: I was just adding that there, once you get into systems, there is an international market, which is
there for us to compete in. But it works not on a tender basis, but on a slightly different sales
process. It will take time. You should be aware that we have products which are identified. And
strategies are being put in place as we speak to explore those markets. And these are fairly big,
sizable numbers. But it might take time. So, we would rather come across to you and share the
good news to you when we have clear orders in sight on these markets from these markets. So,
this is a sizable opportunity where we can make a big difference to our client and to our bottom
line also.
Moderator: Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Pulkit Jhunjhunwala, an investor. Please
go ahead.
Pulkit Jhunjhunwala: I was just wondering as an investor when we see our peers were in this space, we find ourselves
in a situation where our top line is maybe twice theirs, and maybe they trade at a sales to market
cap of maybe 20x, and whereas we are less than 1. And we feel that although the management
has done some great work, the operating margins are increasing. But when we do a brief
comparison, the operating margins that they are trading at, I mean, they are having about 14%
(45.30) kind of operating profit margin.
So, I am sure we heard so many things about what is in the pipeline from this call. I was just
wondering, is there anything that you can share now, where we can understand that our top line
is bigger, our technical skills is better from what I am understanding? So, where are we lacking?
Like do you think something is some, I mean, the opportunities are there for the taking? So,
could you just elaborate on that please?
M. V. Reddy: The opportunity set is there. We are now more proactive in communicating our story. You have
seen how we have been, you know, how forthcoming we have been in the last few investor calls.
And as the story gets out, I am sure there will be a set of investors, incremental set of investors
who would be interested in us to invest.
Page 15 of 17
Astra Microwave Products Limited
February 10, 2023
Why somebody, you know, this is a big market. So, we don't want to comment on why somebody
is being valued slightly higher. Okay? Maybe they have communicated the story better. Maybe
they are better in the perception of the folks.
We are fairly confident about our story. We are confident, as we have very clearly mentioned to
you and committed, that this is a rising, sustainable margin story. We are RF guys. Our BOM is
already there. As we increase in size, maybe there will be efficiencies, which will be coming in.
So, you know, suffice to say that we can only communicate to you that this is increasing sales,
significantly increasing sales story with sustainable increasing margin story. The return ratios
will obviously look better. So, where you value somebody in the food chain is not for us to
comment, you know. But it's a big market for everybody to operate. And I am sure everybody is
equally competent.
Moderator: Thank you. We take next question from the line of Ashit Koti, an investor. Please go ahead.
Ashit Koti: Sir, just continuing with the earlier questions where the explanation was given with regards to
the export market, that the process is a bit different. It is not a tender system. If you could throw
some more light, is it more on joint venture? Is it more on tie-ups? How exactly we are exploring
the market, export market?
M. V. Reddy: Export markets don't work on tenders typically. If you are looking at the civilian industry, right,
you are looking at ROI-based kind of an approach, which is where you define what the
investments are for others, and you are trying to capture the enhanced returns of the savings
which they make. And therefore, explaining to the buyer what exactly is this ROI, right? So,
that's one thing.
In a G2G tender, there is a very different dynamic, which is at work, right? So, depending on
where exactly we see maximum sales impact and sales effort impact coming in, we would be
employing a variety of strategies.
It's too early to say whether we would be partnering in any joint venture format with somebody
else or not. But definitely, we will require partners across the globe as, you know, for local
implementation. What form it will take? We don't know. It's very early days right now. Am I
answering your question?
Ashit Koti: To an extent, yes. It would have been better. I mean, if you would have thrown some more detail,
but maybe it's not possible.
M. V. Reddy: We can't. Let's save something for some surprise, right? Positive surprise. It's very early days.
It's very early.
Moderator: Thank you. We have got last question from line of Ashit Koti. Sir, please go ahead.
Page 16 of 17
Astra Microwave Products Limited
February 10, 2023
Ashit Koti: Sir, as far as we have come a long way from OTCI lifting in '90s to where it is today. So, if we
have to look at Astra microwave as from year onwards through next decade?
S. G. Reddy: Yeh, I think we have already gave a picture for the half decade. Probably now looking at one
decade, it is too early now. So, we will take it forward from that.
M. V. Reddy: I would say, defense industry as a sector has established itself. You are aware of Aatma Nirbhar
Bharat. That is becoming a reality. You are aware of BEL, HAL making great strides.
You are aware that they are tracking or they are beginning to track the export market. There are
multiple defense sector industries itself, which are coming of age and with increasing visibility
and increasing certainty about business. The earnings stream in itself is becoming more
predictable and sustainable.
I think these are the ingredients for an industry which is becoming mature, will become more
mature as we go further. And I think it's such a sizable industry in terms of micro numbers that
there is going to be a huge amount of business, which should be coming across all participants.
We have to make sure we are conservative enough in terms of our balance sheet management
and be prepared for the long haul. That's our vision. That's what we are playing at.
So, thank you for highlighting our journey from when we started. And I think as an analogy,
which I like to say, is that we have lifted off the runway. We are gaining altitude. And I think
we will be at a cruise stage very soon. And that will be a very nice moment for all of us who
have believed in the story.
Moderator: Thank you. As there are no further questions from the participants, I would now like to hand the
conference over to Mr. S. G. Reddy, Managing Director, for closing comments. Over to you, sir.
S. G. Reddy: Thank you for being there with us for one hour. I hope to see you at the end of Q4. Thank you.
Moderator: Thank you very much, sir. Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Astra Microwave Products
Limited, that concludes this conference. Thank you for joining us. You may now disconnect
your lines.
