PAT: Rs 300.3 million compared to Rs 157.3 million during Q2FY25, change 91%. Baddam Karunakar Reddy, Managing Director, Apollo Micro Systems, said: “I’m pleased to share that Apollo Micro Systems has carried its exceptional momentum into FY26, delivering our strong Q2 performance — a testament of our strategic focus, operational excellence, and the unwavering dedication of our team. In Q2FY26, we achieved a remarkable 40% YoY revenue growth, reaching Rs 2252.6 million, up from Rs 1607.1 million in the same quarter last year. This growth has been driven primarily by the robust execution of our order book and the seamless transition of several high-value systems into production. Our EBITDA (excluding Other Income) grew by 80% to Rs 591.9 million, compared to Rs 328.9 million in Q2FY25. More notably, our EBITDA margin expanded by 600 basis points, standing at 26% in Q2FY26, compared to 20% in Q2FY25 — a clear indication of strong operating leverage and improved efficiency. This momentum also translated into the bottom line. Our Profit After Tax (PAT) grew by 91% YoY to Rs 300.3 million, up from Rs 157.3 million in Q2FY25. PAT margin expanded by 350 basis points YoY, reaching 13.3% in Q2FY26, as against 9.8% in Q2FY25. Our sustained investments in indigenous technologies, coupled with our alignment to national defence priorities such as Atmanirbhar Bharat, continue to strengthen our position as a trusted partner in India’s evolving defence ecosystem. In a business defined by tailored, complex, and mission-critical solutions, sequential (quarter-onquarter) comparisons often fail to reflect the true picture. Product mix and delivery cycles vary significantly based on client-specific requirements. Accordingly, annual performance remains the most meaningful benchmark for evaluating our financial and operational progress. Our sustained investments in indigenous technologies, coupled with our alignment to national defence priorities such as Atmanirbhar Bharat, continue to strengthen our position as a trusted partner in India’s evolving defence ecosystem. We are also pleased to announce a significant strategic milestone — the acquisition of IDL Explosives Ltd. This marks a new chapter for Apollo Micro Systems as we move closer to becoming a fully integrated Tier-1 defence OEM. The acquisition not only enhances our manufacturing capabilities but also broadens our solutions portfolio across critical areas of India’s defence supply chain. It is a proud moment and a feather in our cap that positions us for greater impact and scale. Looking ahead, we expect revenue to grow at a CAGR of 45% to 50% over the next two years — driven solely by the core business, excluding any contribution from the recent acquisition. This growth is underpinned by a healthy order book and multiple products entering the production phase. Recent geopolitical developments — particularly the India–Pakistan conflict — have further accelerated demand for indigenous defence solutions. Several of our systems were successfully tested and demonstrated during this period, generating significant interest and engagement across the defence value chain. As we move forward, our focus remains steadfast: to innovate with purpose, deliver with precision, and deepen our strategic partnerships. At Apollo Micro Systems, we are not only setting new performance benchmarks — we are actively shaping the future of a self-reliant, secure, and technologically advanced defence infrastructure for our nation.
