What the record says.
M&M delivered a strong Q2 FY25 with consolidated PAT up 35% YoY to INR 3,171 crore, driven by broad-based strength across auto, farm, and services. Auto revenue grew 15% YoY with PBIT margin expanding 140bps, supported by market share gains (21.9%) and successful price repositioning of XUV700. Farm domestic margins improved 150bps to 18.7% despite international headwinds. Services PAT surged 80% YoY, led by Tech Mahindra and Mahindra Finance. Management guided for mid-to-high teens auto volume growth and 6-7% tractor industry growth in H2, with EV launches (BE 6e, XEV 9e) in early 2025. Key risk: elevated launch costs and EV ramp-up may pressure near-term margins.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects full-year SUV portfolio volume growth of 15%-18%.
- Revised tractor industry growth outlook to 6%-7% for the full year, implying 13%-15% H2 growth.
- Two electric origin SUVs (BE 6e and XEV 9e) to be revealed in November 2024 and in market early 2025.
- Management targets auto PBIT margin to first reach FY19 levels of around 10% as a medium-term goal.
Risks flagged
- North American tractor market has shrunk significantly (11 quarters of degrowth) and Turkish hyperinflation impacts accounting; management is evaluating but not exiting yet.
- Management acknowledged fundamental stress in urban India, which could impact SUV demand if not offset by rural recovery.
- Q3 will see marketing and depreciation costs for EVs with no revenue, and EV margins as a percentage will be lower than ICE due to denominator effect.
- LCV industry has been subdued for several quarters; while October showed positive turnaround, sustainability is uncertain.
Key quotes
- This is one quarter where we've seen all our businesses come together.
- We are not changing our projections... because we believe that the products that we've launched are going to keep that momentum going.
- Services businesses have contributed more to M&M's profits than a tractor business has in this quarter.
