The Bengaluru-based defence manufacturer delivered steady growth during the quarter, supported by continued execution of defence orders and stable demand from the armed forces.

EBITDA declines, margins contract

Despite the rise in profit and revenue, HAL reported pressure on operating performance during the quarter. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined 4 per cent year-on-year to Rs 5,058 crore from Rs 5,294 crore in the corresponding period last year.

Operating margins also weakened during the quarter. EBITDA margin stood at 36.3 per cent compared with 38.6 per cent in the year-ago period, reflecting higher operational costs and margin pressure.

Following the earnings announcement, HAL shares traded higher in the market. The stock was trading at Rs 4,766.30 apiece on the National Stock Exchange, up 3.2 per cent in trade.

The stock has remained in focus amid strong investor interest in defence companies, driven by rising domestic manufacturing opportunities and government support for the sector.
