FINANCIALS
The commercial vehicles industry witnessed a robust recovery in Q3
FY23 led by strong demand in MHCV and passenger carrier segment.
Improving fleet utilizations, pick up in road construction projects
and increase in cement consumption catalyzed the demand recovery
for MHCVs. CV exports, however, remained subdued due to the
prevailing economic situation in most of our overseas markets.
Domestic wholesales were at 90.8k units (flat yoy), domestic
retails at 97.7k units (+5%). Our continued focus on retail during
the quarter resulted in retail sales surpassing wholesale by 6.3%
in Q3 FY23, and reducing system inventory as we transition towards
BSVI phase-2 norms.
Revenues at ₹ 16.9KCr was up 22.5% yoy
despite wholesales being down 6%, reflecting improved mix and
better market operating price. Q3 FY23 EBITDA margins were 8.4%
(+580 bps yoy) and EBIT margins were at 5.9% (+ 650 bps yoy) led by
sustained pricing improvement, cost actions and softening commodity
prices. The business was PBT (bei) positive at ₹ 0.9K Cr as compared to
loss of ₹ 0.2K Cr in Q3 FY22.
LOOKING AHEAD
The CV industry is poised for growth on the back of increased
infrastructure activity, demand for last mile mobility and strong
recovery in bus segment. Going forward, we expect a good
replacement demand, especially in MHCVs in Q4 FY23, as we also
maintain a close watch on the evolving geopolitical situation,
inflation and interest rate risks on both the supply and demand.
The recent exciting launches of the new range of smart trucks in
MHCV and ILCV, and best-in-class pickups will help
us serve our customers better. We exhibited most comprehensive
range of greener and zero emission mobility solutions at Auto Expo,
across cargo and passenger segments, powered by natural gas,
electric and hydrogen. Focus will continue to remain on
registration market share improvement with demand-pull strategy,
innovation intensity, restoring double-digit EBITDA margins and
successfully delivering on new business models.
Girish Wagh, Executive Director Tata Motors Ltd said:
“In Q3 FY23, the CV industry witnessed a steady, overall demand.
Our focus on creating ‘’Demand Pull’ from customers and sustained
emphasis on retail in Q3 FY23 resulted in retail sales surpassing
wholesale by 6.3%, thereby enabling reduction in inventory as
we transition towards BS VI phase-2 norms. Led by realization
improvement, revenue growth was higher than volume growth.
Realization improvement coupled with commodity softening and cost
control resulted in improved margins. Going forward, we will
maintain our agility and keep a close watch on the evolving
geopolitical, inflation and interest rate risks on both supply and
demand. We will also continue to drive the business with strong
customer connect, product and service innovations to improve
customer affinity for our brands, step-up registration market shares
sustainably, and improve realisations and profitability.”
