2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Apollo Tyres reported a challenging Q2 FY25 with consolidated revenue of ₹6,440 crore (+3% YoY) and EBITDA margin of 13.6%, down ~70bps sequentially due to raw material cost inflation. India revenue was ₹4,460 crore with EBITDA margin of 12.1%, while Europe revenue was €171 million with EBITDA margin of 14.8% (+70bps YoY). Domestic replacement volumes grew mid-single digits, but OEM declined double digits. Management expects RM costs to rise ~1% in Q3 and decline from Q4, with price increases of 2-3% already implemented. Europe shows recovery signs with improved mix (UHP now 47% of PCR volumes). Key risk: competitive pressure and sticky other costs (freight, EPR, advertising) may delay margin recovery.
