On the Strategic outlook for the business, Dr. Sampath Ravinarayanan, Chairman said:

My first tenure in the company, between 2008-2012, saw accelerated growth, averaging 60% CAGR. In this period, we established ourselves as Pioneers and Leaders in Aerospace and Defence, by winning and executing prestigious contracts, such as, Airbus Design and COE, Mirage 2000 Upgrade program etc. After over a decade of hiatus, I am back as Chairman and Chief Mentor of the company, which I established, with the principal objective to bring about Year- on- Year ‘Step Growth’ in Revenue and Margins, and at the same time, achieve Leadership Position in our core areas, namely, Defence, Aerospace and ESAI.

To realize our goal of achieving sustainable ‘step growth’, the first requirement is to have a proven and committed leadership team, sharing a common vision. Towards this, I have brought back key members of the Leadership Team, who helped me to build this company and who are passionate to achieve this Growth. By end of Q1 FY26, this core leadership team will be in place.

Then we set ourselves one goal: Achieve a revenue of 9,000 Cr ($1billion), by 2030 - ’Power 930’. And do this @ minimum 24% EBITDA. This goal can only be achieved by climbing up the value chain; offering manufacturing and maintenance solutions and developing and selling innovative products. In other words, we need to invert the current Services to Product/Solution ratio of 80:20 to 20:80.

This requires infrastructure, facilities and skill development. We planned Devanahalli Atmanirbhar Complex (DAC), spread over 20 acres, with the aim to create a world class and one of India’s finest facilities for Manufacturing, Testing and Repair of, Strategic Electronic Systems, Radars, Unmanned Systems, and Aircraft Components. This investment will be made progressively over the next 3 years. Also, we have a plan to create state of art Missile integration facility in Hyderabad. Phase I of DAC is under plan approval stage and is scheduled to be commissioned in 2nd half of FY26.

We have entrusted Muralikrishnan, COO to drive Power 930 initiatives. Mohanakrishnan, our Deputy CEO will focus on climbing up the value chain in Aerospace. Anurag Sharma, Chief Growth Officer will take over ESAI with a goal of developing and delivering disruptive products. Sharadhi Babu, President - Defence will ensure that we secure high value contracts and prestigious OEM deals. Ravi Joghee, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, is entrusted with recalibrating our non core businesses. Alfonso Martinez, CEO who has already been part of $billion revenue in his last two stints, will oversee the implementation of all the above, while ensuring the achievement of annual operating plans.

With this, why not? We have a moonshot at my dream: $1billion in revenue by 2030.”

Commenting on the performance, Mr. Alfonso Martinez; CEO & MD said that:

“In my first year as a CEO of AXISCADES, I am pleased to report in FY25, an 8% increase in revenue and 17% increase in adjusted EBITDA over the previous year. Our revenue stood at ₹1,031Cr and adjusted EBITDA stood at ₹156Cr, adjusted for one off expenses incurred in FY25. With this, we have crossed the milestone of ₹1,000Cr in revenues. Our profit after tax (PAT) at ₹75Cr / 7.2% has seen a two-fold rise in both absolute numbers and margin, with consequent doubling of EPS. This is in furtherance of our commitment to maximize shareholder value. Also, in our core verticals of Aerospace, Defense and ESAI, our revenues grew 12% YoY and EBITDA grew by 15%, both in absolute numbers.

Reflecting upon Q4’25 that has gone by, which is also my first quarter, I feel confident on the company’s strengths and potential for future growth, in the verticals we serve, and we are committed to offering complex and innovative solutions to our clients.

As we approach FY26, our priority is to capitalize on the opportunities in emerging sectors like manufacturing, MRO, chip-to-product and advanced defense technologies, including unmanned warfare, to bring about non-linear, product led, scalable growth. The company plans to invest significantly in developing new proof of concept and products, with a focus on creating commercially viable assets for future revenue. Our FY26 goals reflect our ongoing commitment to a strategic approach that aims for substantial growth in shareholder and stakeholder value.”
