MUMBAI – TVS Motor Co. Ltd. clocked its fastest revenue growth in 14 quarters on a year-on-year basis in the December quarter, driven by a massive jump in sales across segments, buoyed by the full pass-through of the cut in the Goods and Services Tax. Its revenue for the December quarter surpassed analysts' expectations, though the bottom line missed estimates.
The company reported a net profit of INR 9.40 billion for the December quarter, up just over 52% on year and nearly 4% from the trailing quarter. The bottom line was significantly lower than analysts' estimate of INR 10.25 billion. Its top line rose over 37% on year and nearly 5% on a quarter-on-quarter basis to INR 124.76 billion in the reporting quarter.
The Apache maker said its overall two-wheeler and three-wheeler sales, including international business, rose 27% on year to 1.54 million units in the December quarter, and this was also its highest ever quarterly sales. Its three-wheeler segment saw a two-fold jump on a year-on-year basis to 60,000 units in the December quarter. The company's electric vehicle despatches jumped 40% on year to 106,000 units in the reporting quarter.

The company registered a net profit margin growth of 70 basis points at 7.5%.
