Hero MotoCorp Q1 net profit up 32%

Aided by higher prices, improvement in operating performance and reversal-of-incentivisation benefits, Hero MotoCorp on Thursday reported a 32% year-on-year (YoY) rise in its first quarter standalone net profit at Rs 8.3 bn as compared to Rs 6.2 bn a year ago.

The company's revenue increased 4.5% to Rs 87.7 bn in Q1FY24, as against Rs 8,392.54 crore in the year-ago period.

Lower commodity costs, price hikes, positive operating leverage and a richer product mix also helped the company boost its bottom line.

The country's largest two-wheeler maker posted robust financials despite a dip in volumes. The company's total sales, including exports, declined by 3% to 13.53 lakh units during the April to June period vis-a-vis 13.90 lakh units in the same period last year.

Domestic sales were marginally down by 0.8% on a YoY, while exports slumped by 43%.

The company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for Q1FY24 stood at Rs 12.1 bn, up 28%.

Driven by softening of commodity costs, accelerated savings programs, and judicious price increases, the EBITDA margin for the quarter stood at 13.8%, reflecting an improvement of 2.5%.

The underlying EBITDA margin for the ICE business stands at 14.5%, excluding the impact of the EV business.

EBITDA margin is a measure of a company's operating profit as a percentage of its revenue. Profit before tax and exceptional items for the quarter were at Rs 12.6 bn, a growth of 52% over Rs 8.2 bn reported in the previous quarter.

Consolidated revenue from operations stood at Rs 88.5 bn, a growth of 5% over the previous year, and PAT at Rs 7 bn, a growth of 20% over the previous year.
