Escorts Kubota reported a steady Q3 FY25 with consolidated revenue from continuing operations at INR 2,948 crores, up 8.1% YoY, and EBITDA margin of 11.3%. Agri Machinery revenue grew 9.4% to INR 2,416.6 crores, but EBIT margin contracted to 10.4% from 12.1% due to production swings, commodity inflation, and festive discounts. Construction Equipment revenue rose 4.1% with EBIT margin improving to 11.11%. Domestic tractor volumes grew 6% but market share slipped to 11.8% due to unfavorable geographic mix and channel inventory reduction to ~4 weeks. Management expects Q4 industry growth of 14-15% and FY26 tractor industry growth of 6-7%. Exports to Kubota network are recovering, with FY26 export growth guided at 20-25%. Risks include margin pressure from non-tractor agri machinery (harvester imports) and CE volume impact from BS V emission norm transition.
एस्कॉर्ट्स कुबोटा ने वित्त वर्ष 2025 की तीसरी तिमाही में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल आय 2,948 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 8.1% ज्यादा है। कमाई पर खर्च घटाने के बाद बचत (EBITDA मार्जिन) 11.3% रही। कृषि मशीनरी से आय 9.4% बढ़कर 2,416.6 करोड़ रुपये हुई, लेकिन उत्पादन में उतार-चढ़ाव, कच्चे माल की महंगाई और त्योहारी छूट के कारण मुनाफा (EBIT मार्जिन) 12.1% से घटकर 10.4% रह गया। निर्माण उपकरणों की आय 4.1% बढ़ी और मुनाफा 11.11% हो गया। देश में ट्रैक्टर की बिक्री 6% बढ़ी, लेकिन बाजार हिस्सेदारी 11.8% रह गई। कंपनी को चौथी तिमाही में उद्योग वृद्धि 14-15% और अगले वित्त वर्ष में 6-7% रहने की उम्मीद है। निर्यात में सुधार हो रहा है और अगले साल 20-25% बढ़ोतरी का अनुमान है। जोखिमों में कृषि मशीनरी और नए उत्सर्जन नियमों का असर शामिल है।
