Raymond: Business Overview & Financial Analysis

Raymond has transformed into a focused engineering company after separating its Lifestyle and Real Estate businesses. The current business is centred on Aerospace & Defence and Precision Technology & Auto Components, including tools and hardware, with manufacturing operations serving automotive, aerospace, defence and industrial customers in India and international markets.

Raymond Business Structure after Demergers (FY26-Q1 FY27)

The corporate restructuring has materially changed what Raymond represents for investors. The Lifestyle business was separately listed in September 2024, while Raymond Realty was listed in July 2025, leaving the parent focused on precision engineering businesses.

• Aerospace & Defence: Operates through JK Maini Global Aerospace and manufactures high-precision, mission-critical aerospace and defence components.
• Precision Technology & Auto Components: Operates through JK Maini Precision Technology and combines the erstwhile JK Files, Ring Plus Aqua and Maini Precision automotive and industrial businesses.
• Core focus: Capital allocation and management bandwidth are now primarily directed towards aerospace, precision technology, automotive components and engineering products.
• FY26 net cash surplus: Rs 68 crore following completion of the restructuring.

The restructuring has therefore separated businesses with different capital requirements and growth characteristics, making aerospace and precision engineering the key operating drivers for Raymond.

Raymond Engineering Scale and Global Presence (Q1 FY27)

Raymond has built an integrated engineering platform across multiple manufacturing locations and international distribution points. Its products are supplied to automotive OEMs, aerospace customers and industrial users globally.

• Manufacturing facilities: 16 facilities across Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh.
• Advanced machines: More than 1,800 machines across the engineering platform.
• Workforce: More than 5,250 employees.
• Precision Technology & Auto Components portfolio: More than 8,000 SKUs.
• Aerospace portfolio: More than 1,300 precision aero-engine parts developed.
• LEAP engine components: More than 350 components developed for newer LEAP engine variants.
• Global presence: Products supplied across more than 90 countries.
• Global warehouses: 11 warehouses, including six in Europe, three in the US, one in Canada and one in Mexico.
• Overall exports: More than 65% of the engineering platform's business comes from exports.

The international manufacturing and warehousing network enables Raymond to serve global OEM programmes while positioning inventory closer to key customers in Europe and North America.

Raymond Aerospace & Defence Business (Q1 FY27)

Aerospace & Defence is the smaller but faster-growing engineering segment. The business manufactures complex components for aircraft engines and other aerospace applications, supported by long qualification cycles and relationships with global OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers.

• Q1 FY27 revenue: Rs 123 crore, up 40% YoY from Rs 87 crore.
• Q1 FY27 EBITDA: Rs 26 crore, up 25% YoY from Rs 21 crore.
• EBITDA margin: 21.2% compared with 23.7% in Q1 FY26.
• FY26 revenue: Rs 392 crore.
• FY26 EBITDA: Rs 88 crore.
• FY26 EBITDA margin: 22.3%.
• Aerospace customers: More than 25 global aerospace clients.
• Customer relationships: More than two decades of relationships with major aerospace OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers.
• Export contribution: More than 80% of Aerospace & Defence business.
• Defence: Mass production of precision defence components commenced by Q1 FY27.

Q1 FY27 margin moderated despite strong revenue growth because of targeted R&D expenditure for new programmes. Management expects programme economics to improve as these programmes mature and volumes scale.

Raymond Aerospace Order Book (Q1 FY27)

Long-duration programmes provide relatively high revenue visibility in the aerospace business. The order book expanded substantially as Raymond secured and expanded participation in global aerospace programmes.

• 10-year aerospace order book: More than Rs 5,960 crore.
• Active RFQ pipeline: Around Rs 1,632 crore.
• Top three customer concentration: Around 40-45% of the aerospace order book.
• Existing aerospace capacity: Management believes the existing facilities can support revenue of more than Rs 600 crore after operational improvements.
• FY27 aerospace growth: Management maintained its target of around 25% revenue growth, despite Q1 growth running above that level.

The size and duration of the order book provide visibility, although customer concentration and the timing of programme ramp-ups remain important operating factors to track.

Raymond Precision Technology & Auto Components (Q1 FY27)

Precision Technology & Auto Components is Raymond's largest operating segment. It combines automotive and industrial precision components with the long-established tools and hardware business.

• Q1 FY27 revenue: Rs 444 crore, up 11.5% YoY from Rs 398 crore.
• Q1 FY27 EBITDA: Rs 61 crore, up 45.5% YoY from Rs 42 crore.
• EBITDA margin: 13.8% compared with 10.6% in Q1 FY26.
• FY26 revenue: Rs 1,667 crore.
• FY26 EBITDA: Rs 223 crore.
• FY26 EBITDA margin: 13.4%.
• Products: Ring gears, flex plates, input shafts, gear-shift shafts, clutch flanges, transmission components, steel files, tools and other precision-machined components.
• End markets: Passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, electric and hybrid mobility, hydraulics, industrial equipment, agriculture, locomotives and marine applications.
• Export contribution: More than 60% for Auto Components & Precision Technology and more than 40% for Tools & Hardware.

Q1 FY27 margin improvement was supported by higher sales, operating leverage, product mix and cost-reduction initiatives, while export growth remained an important contributor to the segment's revenue expansion. 

Raymond Q1 FY27 Consolidated Financial Performance

Consolidated performance improved in Q1 FY27 as both core engineering businesses grew. Aerospace recorded the faster revenue growth, while Precision Technology & Auto Components delivered stronger margin expansion.

• Revenue from operations: Rs 605.61 crore compared with Rs 524.29 crore in Q1 FY26.
• Total income: Rs 628.10 crore, up 13% YoY.
• EBITDA: Rs 100 crore, up 14% YoY.
• EBITDA margin: 15.9% compared with 15.7% in Q1 FY26.
• PBT before exceptional items: Around Rs 42 crore compared with Rs 30 crore.
• Profit from continuing operations: Rs 30.85 crore compared with Rs 20.62 crore in Q1 FY26.
• Net cash surplus: Rs 129 crore as of June 2026.

The quarterly numbers now primarily reflect the engineering businesses, making them more relevant for evaluating the post-demerger operating structure than Raymond's historical consolidated financials that included Lifestyle and Real Estate.

Raymond Capex and Andhra Pradesh Expansion (Q1 FY27)

Capacity expansion is a major part of Raymond's medium-term engineering strategy. Management has outlined a five-year investment programme covering both Aerospace & Defence and Precision Technology & Auto Components.

• Five-year planned capex: Around Rs 1,000 crore.
• Aerospace allocation: Around Rs 510 crore.
• Precision Technology & Auto Components allocation: Around Rs 430 crore.
• Greenfield location: Gudipalli, Andhra Pradesh, near Bengaluru airport.
• Aerospace facility: Being developed to increase machining capability and support higher-value aerospace programmes.
• Commercial production: Targeted for late 2027.
• Revenue ramp-up: Management expects the new facility to begin contributing progressively from FY28 after customer approval processes.

The expansion is intended to provide capacity for the existing aerospace order book and future RFQs while increasing Raymond's capability in complex components, assemblies and specialised manufacturing processes.

Raymond New Growth Initiatives and Management Commentary (Q1 FY27)

Management is pursuing product, capacity and market diversification within the engineering platform rather than re-entering the businesses separated through the recent demergers.

• Aerospace growth: Management retained its approximately 25% FY27 revenue-growth expectation.
• Aerospace margin: Management indicated an aspiration of around 25% EBITDA margin at a mature operating level.
• Precision manufacturing margin: Around 12-13% was indicated as a reasonable operating level.
• Automotive aftermarket: A new aftermarket product line was planned for launch during Q2 FY27.
• Market expansion: China+1 supply-chain opportunities are being pursued across new geographies and industrial applications.
• Inorganic growth: Management continues to evaluate potential opportunities across both operating businesses.
• Balance sheet: The net cash position provides flexibility to finance organic expansion and evaluate inorganic opportunities.

The main operating indicators to track are aerospace order execution, RFQ conversions, segment margins, export growth, Andhra Pradesh capex milestones and the scaling of new automotive and defence programmes.
