✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
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).
M&M ने पहली तिमाही (अप्रैल-जून 2024) में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी का कुल मुनाफा (एक बार के फायदे को छोड़कर) पिछले साल की तुलना में 20% बढ़कर 3,283 करोड़ रुपये हो गया। ऑटो और कृषि क्षेत्र ने इसमें बड़ा योगदान दिया। एसयूवी, छोटे वाणिज्यिक वाहन (LCV) और ट्रैक्टरों की बाजार हिस्सेदारी बढ़ी। ऑटो का मुनाफा 35% और कृषि का 4% बढ़ा। ऑटो की कमाई का मार्जिन 9.5% और ट्रैक्टर का 19.7% रहा। महिंद्रा फाइनेंस का मुनाफा 37% बढ़कर 497 करोड़ रुपये हुआ। कंपनी को नए मॉडलों (थार 5-दरवाजा, 3XO) और क्षमता बढ़ाने से एसयूवी की बिक्री में अच्छी वृद्धि की उम्मीद है। लेकिन बाजार में सुस्ती और रबर जैसी चीजों के दाम बढ़ने से जोखिम है।

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.
