Hero MotoCorp Q4 Results

Two-wheeler major Hero MotoCorp on Wednesday reported a standalone net profit of Rs 10.2 bn for the quarter ended March 2024, which was up by over 18% versus Rs 8.6 bn reported by the company in the year-ago period. The profit was broadly in line with the Street's estimates of Rs 10.3 bn.

The standalone revenue from operations stood at Rs 95.2 bn for the reported quarter, 14.6% higher than Rs 83.1 bn reported in the corresponding period of the last financial year.

The two-wheeler company also announced a final dividend of Rs 40 per share for FY24.

This was also its highest-ever revenue and profit after tax (PAT) for any financial year.

The company sold 1.4 m units of motorcycles and scooters in Q4FY24 versus 1.2 m units in Q4FY23. For the full financial year, the number of units sold stood at 5.6 m versus 5.3 m units FY23.

Net profit for the full financial year stood at Rs 39.7 bn, a growth of 36% on a YoY basis. The revenue from operations for the full year stood at Rs 374.6 bn, an 11% growth over the previous year.

Moving forward, the company expects macroeconomic factors to aid the industry's growth. With commodity prices remaining stable, expectations of normal monsoons, and government spending expected to increase, it sees multiple tailwinds for the sector over the upcoming quarters.
