What the record says.
Hero MotoCorp delivered a strong Q3 FY24 with 20% revenue growth and 50% PAT growth, driven by premiumization, cost savings, and festive demand. ICE margins reached 16%, enabling reinvestment in EV and premium segments. The company launched Mavrick 440 and Xtreme 125R, with Harley X440 bookings exceeding 30,000. Management expects double-digit industry revenue growth in FY25 and aims to outpace it via new products and network expansion (400+ Hero 2.0 stores by March). EV losses of ~200bps in Q3 are seen as strategic investment; three new EV models at distinct price points are planned for Q1 FY25. Key risk: sustained price wars in EV could pressure margins if cost reduction targets slip.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects the two-wheeler industry to grow at double-digit revenue in FY25, with Hero aiming to outperform.
- Hero will launch affordable, mid, and premium EV scooters in Q1 FY25, targeting price points around INR 1 lakh, INR 1.25 lakh, and INR 1.5 lakh.
- Hero plans to expand exclusive VIDA hubs from 18 to 100 in the next fiscal year.
- Investment of INR 600 Cr over two years to expand parts, accessories, and merchandise capacity to over INR 10,000 Cr annual revenue.
Risks flagged
- Industry discounting in EVs could intensify, pressuring margins if Hero's cost reduction roadmap falls short.
- Despite strong product lineup, market share in premium segments has not yet reflected investments; execution risk remains.
- While inquiries are rising, actual consumption conversion may lag if income growth or financing access disappoints.
Key quotes
- We delivered a top-line growth of 20% and a PAT growth, profit growth of 50%.
- EV is a marathon. We don't want to get caught up in a short-term price war.
- The single biggest driver from the industry point of view will be the finance penetration down to the lowest strata.
