Key Conference call takeaways

Domestic orders: Domestic inquiry book remained flat YoY in H1FY25 due to muted Q1 affected by the general elections; however, Q2 saw strong recovery driven by inquiries from waste-to-energy, industrial generation, cement, steel, O&G, energy efficiency and renewable energy. The management expects better order booking momentum in H2FY25.

Export orders: Export orders saw a robust inquiry from O&G applications in the Middle East, while demand from industrial generation and renewable energy applications in Americas and Europe was healthy. Going forward, the management expects a higher export mix in the order book.

Product order booking grew 30.4% YoY to Rs.400 cr: Key drivers behind the strong growth in product order booking were API turbines and order finalization by industrial customers for biomass-based process cogeneration. The company expects more orders for higher MW turbines as well as API turbines in H2FY25. On the innovation front, the company has developed CO2 turbines for battery storage applications, thus opening new potential avenues for growth.

Management aims to maintain 20% EBITDA margin: The management is confident of maintaining the current EBITDA margin of 20% in the near term. However, focus on revenue expansion in the mid-term might pressurize margins. Higher gross margins in Q2FY25 were due to some large-value service contracts in aftermarket and higher export mix in revenue. The management also aims to maintain gross margins at 52% going forward.

Capacity: Overall growth in demand has exceeded the management's expectations. Consequently, the company may seek board approval for additional capital expenditure of Rs.70-80 cr to expand capacity over the next 2-3 years.

Demand outlook for API turbines remains robust: Growth will be led by demand from O&G, renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste-to-energy, etc. API turbines have a meaningful mix in the order book, and the management believes to book more orders for API turbines in H2FY25. Margins for API turbine orders booked for exports, will be similar to margins for other export orders.

Outlook: Management expects to maintain robust growth, supported by substantial order backlog from Renewable, API and IPG (Industrial Power Generation) turbines, along with successful market expansions. The Aftermarket business also shows promising growth prospects, bolstered by an expanding range of offerings, including spare parts, services and refurbishments, designed to cater to a broader customer base of rotating equipment encompassing - steam turbines, gas turbines, utility turbines, and geothermal turbines.

US business: The US business is expected incur Rs 25 crore loss for FY25 and would be contributing marginally to bottom line by FY26.

Outlook & valuation

Triveni Turbines exhibited robust financial performance for the quarter ended Q2FY25. Domestic inquiries saw strong recovery during the quarter, supported by robust demand across O&G, industrial generation, waste-to-recovery, cement and steel. Export order bookings were primarily driven by demand from the Middle East, Americas, and Europe. The increasing share of aftermarket and export orders in the order book is expected to strengthen the company’s margin profile. Aftermarket growth prospects remain intact, driven by new product offerings, spare parts, services, and refurbishments. Meanwhile, global energy transition trends and generation shortages are anticipated to fuel demand for API turbines and higher MW turbines in the product segment. The company is undertaking capacity expansions, gearing up its export sales team, and increasing its supply chain capacities to drive a high-growth trajectory in the coming years. Company sees strong growth opportunities in sectors such as cement, pharma, steel, and distilleries in domestic markets and internationally in sectors such as steel, waste-to-energy, distillery, food processing, and cement WHRS.

The Company’s expanding presence in global markets, along with the increasing demand for renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste-to-energy (WtE), and decentralized power solutions, continues to present substantial growth opportunities for Triveni Turbines. The Company is confident that leveraging these opportunities, both domestically and internationally, will enable it to maintain growth and profitability in the coming years.

The company expects to scale up its presence significantly in international markets, which is predictable from the surge of order booking and inquiry pipeline. Further, climate change mandate and focus on renewables in its key export markets will drive growth for its products. We believe Triveni Turbine’s prospects continue to remain strong due to 1) healthy enquiry pipeline across markets, 2) growing share of higher margin exports & aftermarket sales, 3) strong traction in both industrial & API drive turbines, and 4) robust order book with strong inflows across businesses. At CMP of Rs.655, the stock is trading at 39x FY26E. We maintain HOLD rating on the stock.
