Tejas Networks [BSE: 540595, NSE: TEJASNET] today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2020. Tejas Networks designs, develops, manufactures and sells high-performance optical and data networking products, which are used to build high-speed communication networks.
For Q1 2021, our consolidated revenues (net of pass-through component sale) were Rs. 77.4 crore which was a YoY decline of 50.6% resulting in a loss after tax of Rs. 9.8 crore, as compared to a profit after tax of Rs. 5.9 crore for corresponding previous period.
Mr. Sanjay Nayak, Managing Director and CEO of Tejas Networks said, “Our revenues during the quarter were impacted due to COVID-19 lockdowns affecting our ability to fulfill customer orders. During the quarter, we saw strong new order intake of Rs. 188 crore, taking our total order book to Rs. 593 crores, which is the highest we had seen in the last 8 quarters. In addition, we secured wins from multiple Tier-1 operators for our GPON-based home-broadband products. As a leading pure-play telecom product company from India, we are well positioned to capitalize on the opportunities opening up due to Government of India’s focus to create “Atmanirbhar Bharat”.
Export revenues showed robust YoY growth of 52% during the quarter. In addition, we won over million dollar deals each, from 3 different international customers in Asia, Africa and Mid-east. We are seeing new opportunities coming our way, as our global customers look to de-risk and diversify their supply chain investments in the evolving geo-political environment.”
Post-COVID, with more people working remotely and many video services being accessed from homes, there has been a significant increase in data traffic on telecom networks, which is driving demand for high-bandwidth broadband connections. Telecom operators are increasing their capex to address fiber-to-the-home broadband requirements and to augment the capacity of their optical networks- both of which are being addressed by Company’s products.
“Our strong order book position even during the pandemic, is a clear testimony to the resilience of our business. We are more relevant to our customers today than in the past.” said Mr. Sanjay Nayak, Managing Director and CEO of Tejas Networks.
Mr. Venkatesh Gadiyar, CFO said, “We continue to be a debt-free Company and our cash and cash equivalents, including investment in liquid mutual funds and deposits with financial institutions, stood at Rs. 272 crore. We managed our working capital well, despite seeing certain payment delays from customers due to COVID-19 situation. While the uncertainty due to economic impact of COVID-19 remains, financially we are well positioned to invest in growth opportunities in front of us.”
As on date, we have filed for 349 patents and have been granted 116 patents.

Tejas Networks [BSE: 540595, NSE: TEJASNET] today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2020. Tejas Networks designs, develops, manufactures and sells high-performance optical and data networking products, which are used to build high-speed communication networks over optical fiber.
For Q4, 2020, consolidated revenues (net of pass-through component sale) were Rs. 52.7 crore which was a YoY decline of 80.2%. Decline in revenues resulted in a loss before tax and before impairment of intangible assets of Rs. 56.7 crore, as compared to a profit of Rs. 37.1 crore for corresponding previous period, since a majority of costs other than cost of material, are linked to manpower and are fixed in nature. The weak revenue during Q4 was primarily because of operational challenges and inability to ship confirmed customer orders because of lockdown due to Covid-19 and pushout of new customer orders, which were otherwise expected. The company also reassessed the marketability of its intangible assets under development as well as capitalized intangible assets, and has taken a one-time impairment charge of Rs. 69.87 crore towards the accumulated costs relating to past R&D.
For the year ended March 31, 2020, revenues (net of pass-through component sale) were Rs. 379.8 crore, which was a YoY decline of 56.7%. As a result, for the year, loss before tax and before impairment of intangibles was Rs. 68.7 crore (Loss of Rs. 138.6 crore, post one-time R&D impairment charge), against a profit before tax of Rs. 150.0 crore for the corresponding period. Revenues from customers in India (which was 79% of total revenues in FY19) declined by 63% YoY and in particular, revenues from the India Government segment declined by 88% YoY.
Mr. Sanjay Nayak, Managing Director and CEO of Tejas Networks said, “Indian telecom sector is undergoing major financial stress, resulting in capex reduction by all private operators. In addition, Government spending on telecom projects declined sharply during FY20, resulting in a major revenue decline for us. We have put a lot of focus to reduce our dependence on India, and our medium term goal is to get 50% of our revenues from international customers. We made significant progress during FY20 in terms of securing new international customer wins and increasing our sales investments, but we could not see the positive impact in Q4, due to pushout of orders because of COVID-19.
In the short-term, due to ever-changing COVID-19 situation, it is likely that we will have fluctuations in the Company’s operations. There may be delays in customer orders and with various logistics and governmental restrictions, even the execution of orders in hand could be impacted. From a macro industry outlook, with more people working remotely and many services being accessed from homes, there has been a significant increase in data traffic in telecom networks, which will drive a demand for higher bandwidth and more optical and data transmission equipment. Our customers are expected to increase their investments to address fiber-to-the-home broadband requirements and to augment the capacity of their optical networks.”
Mr. Venkatesh Gadiyar, CFO said, “As of March 31, 2020, we are a debt free Company and our cash and cash equivalents, including investment in liquid mutual funds and deposits with financial institutions, stood at Rs. 280 crore. Our receivables are at Rs. 456 crore, of which a majority is expected to be collected in FY21 and we also have inventory of Rs. 252 crore, a large part of which is expected to be shipped to customers in FY21. During FY21, we expect to improve our cash position from our current levels, based on our collection plan, inventory usage and tight operations. We have done a detailed cash flow planning for the next 12 months and believe that we are well covered to meet all our business growth requirement. Since the Company has made a loss, as per our policy, the Board has decided not to recommend any dividend this year.”
As on date, we have filed for 349 patents and during the quarter, we were granted 3 patent bringing our cumulative grant to 116 patents.
