Group Operational Performance Q3FY22

• Revenue from Indian OE customers grew 2%. Sales volume declined in passenger vehicle, farm tractor and two wheeler segments and cost recovery through price increase helped to achieve marginal revenue growth.
• Revenues from International customers increased 2%. The demand was partially impacted due to semiconductor shortages.
• Revenue from Indian aftermarket segment grew 7% supported by strong demand across pan India
• Material cost increase and higher employee cost resulted in drop in EBITDA margin by 420 bps
• There was an exceptional expense of Rs46cr made by Rane NSK towards estimated warranty provision in Q3FY22 as against Rs49.3cr in Q3FY21.
• PBT includes an exceptional income of Rs9.5cr on account of US Federal stimulus benefit received by RML (LMCA) and Voluntary Retirement Expenditure of Rs2.7cr incurred by REVL.

“Q3 was a challenging quarter with semiconductor shortage impacting the supply chain and elevated commodity prices reducing the profitability. The Group companies are working on cost reduction initiatives to mitigate the inflationary pressures. We hope the third wave of coronavirus in India does not adversely impact the demand environment,” said L. Ganesh, Chairman & Managing Director, Rane Holdings Ltd.
