as of Aug 2026
- FY27 revenue and margin guide - Management guides FY27 total revenue to ₹2,750-2,850 crore with services revenue of ₹2,650-2,750 crore and EBITDA margin raised to \~27% from 25-26% guided in May. The guide is grounded in a contracted order book that already secures \~85% of FY27 services revenue.
- SBI cash outsourcing ramp - The ₹1,000 crore, 10-year SBI contract for \~5,000 bank-owned ATMs went live January 2026 and is rolling out across the network. It adds \~₹50 crore per year of incremental revenue over 9-10 years and creates a reference point for other PSU banks to outsource directly.
- HDFC Bank mandate - The 5-year, ₹400 crore integrated managed services mandate covering 6,000 ATMs, won in Q1 FY27, is expected to add ₹50-75 crore revenue in FY2027. It completes large long-term contract wins at all three of India's largest banks - SBI, ICICI, HDFC - within 18 months.
- ICICI Bank contract go-live - The ₹400 crore TCV contract across 1,500 CRMs over 7 years is now 90% live, with ICICI on track to become the second-largest customer. The bank moved from \~20% recyclers two years ago to 80% now, driving higher-value services per machine.
- HAWKAI non-BFSI expansion - HAWKAI has expanded into eight non-BFSI sectors including quick commerce, EV infrastructure, QSR and retail, with 1,300+ dark stores implemented for a leading quick commerce player and an additional 500-site order. Non-BFSI TAM is ₹5,000 crore versus ₹3,000 crore for BFSI, with a healthy RFP pipeline for the next 18-24 months.
- Securens integration - The ₹75 crore Securens acquisition closed fully by March 2026, consolidating HAWKAI's BFSI market share to 36%+ and adding a decade of proprietary AI training data. Q1 FY27 saw a deferred tax gain from Securens' operational turnaround, and the combined business is now 2X the closest competitor.
- ALGO MVS at ICICI - ALGO MVS software, already powering 68,000 machines on the SBI network (40% market share), goes live at ICICI Bank across 10,000+ ATMs in Q3 FY27. The ICICI rollout enables upselling value-added services at recyclers - account opening, KYC, non-cash transactions - beyond the base software fee.
- FSS managed services acquisition - The ₹115 crore acquisition of FSS's ATM Managed Services business closed in Q1 FY27, adding \~8,000 units and growing the managed services portfolio from \~31,000 to 39,000 units. It brings direct contractual relationships with mid-sized banks, moving CMS from #5 to #3 in managed services and opening cross-sell into HAWKAI and ALGO.
- Capex normalization - FY26 peak capex of ₹350 crore drops to ₹100-125 crore in FY27, reflecting the shift away from transition-based BLA contracts toward HAWKAI and ALGO platform investment. With depreciation trending back to better levels in FY28, the lower capex converts directly into higher free cash flow.
- PSU bank ATM outsourcing pipeline - \~70,000-75,000 PSU bank on-site ATMs remain self-serviced, with three other large bank RFPs expected to conclude in the next 6-9 months. The active pipeline of 6,000-8,000 ATM units represents a contracted-value opportunity of over ₹2,000 crore for the industry, moving to fixed-fee pricing.
