JSW Steel reported a mixed Q3 FY24. Consolidated revenue was INR 41,940 crore, down 6% QoQ, with EBITDA of INR 7,180 crore (margin 17.1%). PAT stood at INR 2,450 crore. Operational performance was strong: record crude steel production of 6.87 million tons (+12% YoY) and capacity utilization of 94%. However, sales volumes fell 5% QoQ to 6 million tons due to weak global markets and higher imports. Value-added product share remained at 60%. Management reiterated FY24 volume guidance of 26.34 million tons production and 25 million tons sales. Raw material costs are rising: coking coal expected up $20-25/ton in Q4. Net debt increased to INR 79,221 crore (net debt/EBITDA 2.64x). Key risk: elevated input costs and global volatility could pressure margins despite expected volume recovery.
जेएसडब्ल्यू स्टील की तीसरी तिमाही के नतीजे मिले-जुले रहे। कंपनी की कुल कमाई 41,940 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछली तिमाही से 6% कम है। कमाई में से कंपनी को 7,180 करोड़ रुपये का परिचालन लाभ (EBITDA) हुआ, जो कमाई का 17.1% है। शुद्ध लाभ 2,450 करोड़ रुपये रहा। कंपनी ने रिकॉर्ड 6.87 मिलियन टन स्टील बनाया, जो पिछले साल से 12% ज्यादा है। फैक्ट्री की क्षमता का 94% इस्तेमाल हुआ। लेकिन बिक्री 5% घटकर 6 मिलियन टन रही, क्योंकि दुनिया भर में मांग कमजोर है और आयात बढ़ा है। कंपनी ने कहा कि कच्चे माल की लागत बढ़ रही है, खासकर कोकिंग कोल की कीमत अगली तिमाही में 20-25 डॉलर प्रति टन बढ़ सकती है। कर्ज बढ़कर 79,221 करोड़ रुपये हो गया है। मुख्य जोखिम: बढ़ती लागत और बाजार में उतार-चढ़ाव से मुनाफा कम हो सकता है।
