B.N. Kalyani, chairman & managing director of Bharat Forge, said, 'The quarterly performance continued to be impacted by the de-stocking in the North American CV market. Standalone revenues were up 7.0% sequentially to Rs 2,084 crores, and EBITDA at Rs 569 crore was up 4.6% QoQ, translating to an EBITDA margin of 27.3%. The performance was aided by the strong growth in the domestic automotive business and execution of the defense order book. Export revenues witnessed a 3% sequential decline, with the auto sector down 13% and industrials showing an 11% increase. In Q3, the company secured new orders worth Rs 2,388 crores, including Rs 1,878 crores in Defence. As of Dec 31st, 2025, the defence order book stood at Rs 11,130 crores. We signed the CQB Carbine contract with the Ministry of Defence for the supply of more than 250,000 units to the Indian armed forces. This order unlocks significant growth opportunities for our small arms vertical within the defence business. In the quarter gone by, JS Autocast (JSA) recorded revenue of Rs 203 Crore and EBITDA of Rs 32 Crore (15.7% EBITDA margin), representing a 22% and 39% YoY jump, respectively. K-Drive Mobility, a supplier of axle assembly across segments, witnessed a muted topline but a sharp jump in their profitability, with EBITDA margins moving up from 3.1% in Q2 FY26 to 5.1% in this quarter. We expect the margin profile to continue to improve over a 3-year time frame. The US & European operations reported modest operating profits despite seasonal weakness in the PV market. Review of the European steel manufacturing footprint is on track, and we expect to have concrete measures in place by the end of this fiscal year. Looking ahead into Q4 FY26 and FY27, it is fair to say that the worst is behind us and things are starting to look up. With both domestic and export markets looking strong across sectors and the commencement of ATAGS execution in H2 FY27, we expect high double-digit top-line growth and a commensurate impact on profitability.'
