What the record says.
Hero MotoCorp reported a strong Q4 FY24 with revenue of INR 9,519 crore (+15% YoY) and PAT of INR 1,016 crore (+18% YoY). EBITDA margin expanded 130 bps to 14.3%, driven by operating leverage, mix improvement, cost savings, and pricing. The ICE margin stood at 15.3%, with EV business impacting overall margin by 130 bps. Management highlighted robust consumer sentiment, double-digit revenue growth guidance for FY25, and aggressive premiumization through new launches (Xoom 125/160, Xtreme 125R) and Hero 2.0 store expansion. Exports are recovering with market share gains. Key risk: sustained market share erosion in core segments despite new product momentum.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management is confident of achieving double-digit revenue growth in FY25, driven by volume, mix, and pricing.
- Capital expenditure for FY25 is expected to be between INR 1,000-1,500 crore, including GPC2 expansion.
- Production capacity for Xtreme 125R will be increased to 1,000 units per day (approx. 20,000-25,000 per month) in the next 2-3 months.
- New EV products in mid and mass segments will be launched in H1, and PLI compliance is expected by Q2 FY25.
Risks flagged
- Despite strong product launches, Hero's overall market share has been declining YoY and sequentially, raising concerns about competitive positioning.
- EV business continues to impact overall margins by 130 bps, and profitability depends on subsidy regime and cost reduction, which are uncertain.
- New premium models (Harley, Mavrick, Karizma) have seen lower-than-expected volumes; scaling up distribution and brand building may take time.
Key quotes
- These are exciting times at Hero MotoCorp as well. They are reflected in the results that we declared just a while back. The year has been the year of maximum number of launches while making big strides in the premium segment.
- We are fairly confident about our double-digit revenue growth. Now, what shape and mix of volume and price and mix and all that happens, that one we'll see how the industry navigates through.
- The whole approach, even when we launched it, we had tie-ups with the gamers, BGMI and others. And they have been really into it in terms of the younger cohort of customers because that's the lifestyle that we wanted to tap into.
