MUMBAI – Tata Motors Ltd. reported a net loss for the September quarter largely on account of mark-to-market loss of INR 20.27 billion on its investments in recently listed subsidiary Tata Capital Ltd. Excluding the mark-to-market loss, the company would have reported a higher-than-expected net profit for the reporting quarter. 

 

The automobile major reported a consolidated net loss of INR 8.67 billion in the quarter, compared with a net profit of INR 4.98 billion a year ago. Brokerage firm Nomura had projected a 54% on-year rise in the company's net profit to INR 10.25 billion in the September quarter. Excluding the mark-to-market loss, the company had a profit of INR 11.60 billion.

 

The commercial vehicle maker's consolidated revenue grew 6% on year and over 7% on quarter to INR 185.85 billion in the quarter under review. Nomura had expected the company's revenue to rise to INR 173.28 billion.  

 

After the demerger, Tata Motors houses only the commercial vehicle operations, with the passenger vehicle business now under Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. Tata Motors was listed on exchanges on Wednesday.

 

As of Sept. 30, Tata Motors had INR 12 billion in net cash. The company posted a 21% on-year rise in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation to INR 22 billion for the quarter. Its EBITDA margin rose to 12.2% in Jul-Sept from 10.7% a year ago. The company's operating margin for Jul-Sept was 12.44%, compared with 12.08% a year ago.

 

The company's total expenses for the quarter rose faster than its revenue. For the reporting quarter, the total expenses rose 15% on year to INR 192.96 billion. This was largely due to a fair value loss of INR 20.27 billion. Barring this, the total expenses rose just 3% on year to INR 172.69 billion.

 

For Apr-Sept, the truck maker reported a consolidated net profit of INR 5.30 billion on a consolidated revenue of INR 359.09 billion. From Jun. 23 till Sept. 30, the company's net profit was INR 4.98 billion and its revenue from operations was INR 175.35 billion. 

 

Going ahead, the company expects to report strong numbers for Oct-Mar on the back of the festive season, improving consumption, and the full impact of the lower goods and services tax. "Construction, infrastructure, and mining activities will gain momentum, further fuelling demand for trucks and tippers," the company said.

 

The company said it has a robust pipeline of upcoming launches and a richer, more customer-aligned product portfolio, and believes it is well positioned to accelerate this momentum and drive meaningful, broad-based growth, along with improved market share across all segments. It will continue to focus on profitability while delivering double-digit EBITDA margin and robust cash flows, along with high return on capital employed.

 

Thursday, Tata Motors' shares ended 2.6% lower at INR 320.75 on the National Stock Exchange. The company reported its September-quarter earnings after market hours. Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., the demerged entity that includes the passenger vehicles segment, will report its September quarter results on Friday.  End
