Eicher Motors reported a net profit of Rs.610 Cr.
Eicher Motors reported a 257.52% year-on-year (YoY) rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 610.66 crore compared with Rs 237.13 crore in the same quarter last year. The consolidated revenue from operations rose 71.18% YoY to Rs 3,325.80 crore from Rs 1,942.84 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. There are huge prospects for growth in exports. The volume contribution to the total has been increasing from 2.3% in FY17 to 13.5% in FY22 to more than 15% in Q1FY23. This is due to the increase in network and product portfolio expansion. In our opinion, the export opportunity is huge and management is serious about growing this piece of the business. We project faster export growth in the coming years.
Enormous growth potential:
Volumes will be supported by new domestic models and improved supply. The new launches like Scram 411 and Hunter 350 are clearly targeting a larger young audience. The Hunter model is likely to bring in more footfall in the showroom due to its accessible pricing and good looks. Just in time for the festival season, chip supplies are improving, network expansion is the primary focus, and newly launched models will increase volume. The trend is clear: EBITDA margin has risen from 20.2% in Q3 FY22 to 24.5% in Q1 FY23, an increase from 20.2% in Q3 FY22. They have strong pricing power in the market. We expect this uptrend to continue due to the benefits of softness in commodity prices, higher operating leverage, and better geographic and product mix. VECV is entering its best days for the next two years. The management sounded extremely optimistic about the CV industry’s high growth prospects in the coming two years. VECV is gaining market share led by network expansion, product launches, and service.
