Apollo Micro Systems commenced fiscal year 2026 with an exceptional first quarter, marking the strongest in the company's history. This achievement reflects a focused strategy, operational excellence, and a dedicated team. In Q1FY26, the company recorded robust revenue growth of 46 per cent year-on-year, reaching Rs 133.58 crore, driven by seamless execution of its strong order book and the transition of high-value systems into full-scale production. Profitability also saw significant gains, with EBITDA (excluding other income) increasing by 83 per cent to Rs 40.94 crore and the EBITDA margin improving by 600 basis points to 31 per cent. This strong operational performance translated into substantial bottom-line growth, with Profit After Tax (PAT) more than doubling, registering a 110 per cent year-on-year increase to Rs 17.68 crore, and the PAT margin expanding by 400 basis points to 13 per cent.
A significant milestone for Apollo Micro Systems in Q1FY26 was securing its first export order, valued at USD 13.37 million (approximately Rs 113.81 crore). This pivotal achievement underscores the company's commitment to global expansion and the growing international trust in its products and capabilities. This success further affirms India's potential to lead in strategic innovation and strengthens Apollo Micro Systems' position to unlock substantial opportunities in new markets. The company's roadmap for growth emphasises strengthening its core through a dedicated investment of Rs 100 crore in R&D in FY26, aiming to accelerate breakthroughs in defence systems, high-end electronics, and next-generation strategic platforms, fostering homegrown, "Made in Bharat" technologies.
Looking ahead, Apollo Micro Systems is strategically targeting high-value, high-complexity defence programs that demand deep expertise and offer superior margins and limited competition. The company aims to become a one-stop solution for munitions and strategic platforms, offering end-to-end solutions across the munitions and weapons value chain—from high-energy materials to full-system integration. This integrated approach positions them as a comprehensive partner for India’s strategic needs, reducing reliance on fragmented supply chains. Rooted in the "Atmanirbhar Bharat" and "Make in India" initiatives, the company is expanding its global footprint, aspiring to become a Global Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) by providing high-reliability, full-spectrum solutions. This vision will be realised through a dual-engine strategy of organic growth driven by innovation and inorganic expansion through strategic acquisitions, building a future-ready, globally competitive, and resilient company. Recent geopolitical developments, particularly tensions between India and Pakistan, have further accelerated demand for indigenous defence solutions, with several of Apollo Micro Systems' systems undergoing successful testing and demonstration during this period, garnering significant interest.
