Apex Ecotech Limited ("Apex" or "the Company"), an engineering-driven EPC company specializing in turnkey water, wastewater and Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) solutions, today announced its un-audited financial results for the half-year ended 30 September 2026 (H1 FY27).

PNN New Delhi [India], November 13: Apex Ecotech Limited ("Apex" or "the Company"), an engineering-driven EPC company specializing in turnkey water, wastewater and Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) solutions, today announced its un-audited financial results for the half-year ended 30 September 2026 (H1 FY27).

Performance & Margin Movement -         The Company recorded a substantial increase in revenue as project execution scaled up during the period. Absolute EBITDA and PAT also increased year-on-year, although EBITDA margin moderated to 5.57% from 9.21% and PAT margin to 4.25% from 7.91%.

-         Direct material costs represented 83.78% of revenue, compared with 75.95% in H1 FY26. The reported margin profile was influenced by input cost movements on orders secured in earlier periods, alongside the timing and mix of project execution, recognition of associated costs, and customer verification and certification cycles. -         The Company continues to prioritise disciplined project execution, cost control and operational efficiency. Working-capital management, particularly project billing and receivable realisation, remains an important focus as the business scales.

Management Commentary H1 FY27 reflects a significant scale-up in Apex Ecotech’s operations, with revenue growing approximately 189% year-on-year to ₹94.27 crore, while EBITDA and profit after tax grew by 75% and 55%, respectively.

The moderation in reported margins during the period was primarily driven by two factors — input cost inflation on orders secured in earlier periods and the timing of revenue certification, rather than any change in the underlying economics of our projects. First, elevated global inflation, geopolitical disruptions and firmer crude oil prices led to higher costs of steel, polymers, membranes and other mechanical and electrical inputs. Since a significant portion of H1 execution related to earlier orders without price variation provisions, passing on these increases remained challenging. However, commodity cycles are temporary, and we expect this impact to normalize over time.

Second, substantial installation and commissioning work was completed during H1, with the associated costs already recognized. However, the corresponding revenue remains subject to client verification and certification. As per the Company’s revenue-recognition policy, this revenue is expected to be recognized progressively in H2 FY27, resulting in a temporary timing mismatch that has impacted reported margins. We remain focused on disciplined execution, cost optimization, faster project cycles and timely customer certifications, which will support margin improvement and stronger cash flows.

Looking ahead, we continue to see encouraging opportunities across our core markets, with several significant projects at advanced stages of discussion. While order finalization and execution timelines remain key, we remain confident in our competitive positioning and long-term growth prospects, with a continued focus on sustainable revenue growth, improved profitability and stronger cash generation. ~ Mr. Anuj Dosajh, Chairman & Managing Director of Apex Ecotech Limited

Outlook Going Forward -         Revenue Growth: Management targets 30–40% year-on-year revenue growth in FY27, subject to order finalizations, execution milestones and customer certifications.

-         Margin Normalization: Margins are expected to improve through H2 FY27 as H1-executed projects receive certification and corresponding revenue is recognized, along with invoicing of new orders. -         Execution & Cost Efficiency: Focus remains on disciplined execution, cost optimization, shorter project cycles, timely certifications and collections to strengthen margins and cash flows.

-         Order Pipeline: Several significant projects are at advanced stages of discussion across core markets, with conversion dependent on order finalizations. -         Diversification – O&M Services: The Company is developing a recurring revenue stream through operations and maintenance services for commissioned projects. The business plan is being finalized, with commercialization expected in H2 FY28.
