Quarter read
What the record says.
M&M reported a strong Q1 FY25 with consolidated PAT up 20% YoY to INR 3,283 crore (excluding one-time gains). Auto and Farm segments drove performance: SUV market share gained 130bps, LCV 160bps, and tractors 180bps. Auto PAT rose 35% and Farm PAT 4% despite a tough market. Auto margins expanded 180bps to 9.5%, and tractor core margins reached 19.7%. Mahindra Finance PAT grew 37% to INR 497 crore, aided by lower credit costs. Management maintained mid-to-high teens SUV growth guidance for FY25, supported by new launches (Thar 5-door, 3XO) and capacity expansion. Risks include potential demand slowdown from tepid industry buoyancy and commodity price volatility (rubber).
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management reiterated expectation of mid-to-high teens growth in SUV volumes for FY25, supported by new launches and capacity.
- Management maintained ~5% tractor industry growth outlook but noted favorable factors (monsoons, government spending) could push higher.
- Management committed to turning around the express logistics business to breakeven by the end of the current quarter.
- CFO guided effective tax rate for FY25 to be approximately 23-24%.
Risks flagged
- Overall auto industry buoyancy is low, which could pressure volume growth despite product launches.
- Rising rubber prices could impact tractor margins, which are sensitive to input costs.
- Changes in FAME/EMPS schemes create volatility in last-mile mobility profitability and require recertification costs.
- Thar 5-door launch may cannibalize Thar 3-door volumes, creating near-term uncertainty in billing.
Key quotes
- We have a quarter again with a strong operating performance, which is a common theme. We hope to keep it that way.
- The decision that we've taken on XUV700 pricing, we believe will have a negligible effect on the financials over this quarter or the next.
- We are still at 5%, but the arrow looks upward.
