Adisoft inflated order book on the same call, then corrected itself
Management first guided order book at ₹96.32 cr, then admitted that figure includes unconfirmed pipeline. The real order book: ₹38.54 cr.
What's new

- FY27 guidance: revenue ₹215 cr (29% growth), PAT growth 35-40% on repeat deployment reuse.
- Order book stands at ₹38.54 cr, all executable in FY27; pipeline ₹96 cr including discussions.
- New 25,000 sq ft facility targeted November FY27 to support ₹500 cr+ revenue by March 2030.
Themes from the call
Demand
Industrial automation sector growing 25-30% annually; Adisoft's pipeline of ₹96 cr with 95% strike rate supports FY27 revenue target.
Margins
Repeat deployments reuse 60-70% software/design, driving PAT growth (35-40%) faster than revenue (29%); FY27 margin expected above 13.5% but not quantified.
Capital allocation
New facility capex supports long-term capacity of ₹600-650 cr; debtor days at 180 but management calls it structural seasonality, not deterioration.
Guidance watch
- FY27 revenue ₹215 cr, PAT growth 35-40% — specific but contingent on order book execution.
- H1 EBITDA margins expected to improve — directional, no magnitude given.
- New facility operational by November FY27.
Risk flags
- Order book credibility damaged: same call gave two different figures (₹96.32 cr vs ₹38.54 cr) without explanation.
- Customer concentration: 80-85% revenue from top 5 automakers.
- Debtor days inflated to 180 — although attributed to seasonality, it bears watching.

The brief
Adisoft Technologies reported a strong FY26: revenue of ₹166 crore, PAT up 42% to ₹22.80 crore. It guided for 29% revenue growth to ₹215 crore in FY27, with PAT growing 35-40% on repeat deployment reuse. The business model is real: turnkey automation solutions with 60-70% software reuse on repeat orders, a 95% strike rate on quoted opportunities, and a growing addressable market as industrial automation expands 25-30% annually. The new facility, a 25,000 sq ft integration space, is set to open in November FY27, targeting ₹500+ crore revenue by March 2030.
But the credibility of those numbers took a hit on the same call. Management first said the order book was ₹96.32 crore and would all execute in FY27. Pressed later, they admitted that ₹96.32 crore includes unconfirmed discussions; the actual firm order book is ₹38.54 crore. The pivot was not explained. An investor cannot tell which numbers to trust.
The rest of the call was consistent: customer concentration at 80-85% from top five auto clients, debtor days at 180 (management calls it structural, not worrisome), and a cautious expansion into non-auto via AIOI JV. The guidance is ambitious but plausible if the real order book translates to revenue as claimed.
Adisoft's growth story is intact. But leadership needs a single version of the numbers. Today they gave two.
Adisoft's growth story works — but the order book confusion on a single call makes every number harder to trust.
