We must remind you that the discussion today's call may include certain forward-looking statements and must be therefore viewed in conjunction with the risks that company faces. May I now request Mr.

Rangarajan to take us through the company's business outlook and financial highlights, subsequent to which we can open the floor for Q&A. Thank you, and over to you, sir.

Thank you, Monali. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm delighted to welcome you all to the Q2 and H1 FY26 earnings call. I trust you've had a chance to go through our earnings presentation available on our stock exchanges and on our company website.

Before Venkat takes you through the financial highlights, I'd like to begin with a few key business updates and strategic insights from our side. We delivered strong revenue growth during Q2 and H1 FY26 with top line more than doubling year-on-year at ₹407 crores compared to H1 of last year along with robust growth in EBITDA and profits.

Margins were lower during the period owing to the execution of a strategic project amounting to ₹180 crores during the quarter. The contract was taken at a competitive price considering long-term possible opportunities.

Despite this, our profitability remains healthy: EBITDA and PAT stood at 100 crores and 75 crores respectively. Our order book, including the orders negotiated and pending receipt, stands at rupees stands at around 1,300 crores, with fresh order inflows of 351 crores during H1, including significant orders from BrahMos and ECIL.

In H1, we also secured EW orders developed through QIP fund. Far, we've utilized approximately 122 crores from the QIP proceeds for product development.

The products are at an advanced stage of development. We expect more high-value orders in the coming quarters as our technologies and products gain wider acceptance among customers.

The order book remains healthy at around 80 crores. The transportable precision approach radar, TPAR, exported to a European customer has successfully completed site acceptance.

We expect some positive traction from international markets. At Data Patterns, we are pro actively developing systems well ahead of formal requirements to ensure we're ready with these opportunities as and when these opportunities emerge.
