Tata Motors, the owners of the Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR) brands, reported a quarterly loss on Monday, weighed down by higher commodity prices and the global chip shortage.
Microchips are a key component in car manufacturing but automakers around the world have been hamstrung by limited supplies due to semiconductor production cuts during the pandemic.
Consolidated EBITDA at 10.2% (-460 bps), EBIT at 1.7 % (-470 bps). JLR Revenue £4.7b down 21.2%, EBITDA at 12.0%, EBIT at 1.4%. Commercial Vehicles (CV) revenue up 28.7%, EBITDA at 2.6% (-540 bps); PV revenue up 72.3%, EBITDA at 4.2% (+40 bps).
The company stock was under pressure during early trade on Tuesday despite bullish markets. At around 9.24 am, Tata Motors Ltd was trading at Rs502.60 per share down by Rs14.9 or 2.88% from its previous closing of Rs517.50 per share on the BSE.
JLR Highlights
JLR: Sales remain constrained by chip shortages with retail sales of 80,126 vehicles, down 37.6% over Q3FY21. The chip supply situation is gradually improving with production volumes of 72,184 units up 41% over Q2 FY22 and wholesales of 69,182 units up 8% on Q2FY22. For Q3, revenue was £4.7 billion, up 22% from Q2 FY22. EBIT margin was 1.4% and free cash flow was positive at £164 million in Q3 FY 22, demonstrating the progress JLR made in reducing the breakeven point in the business through mix optimisation and cost efficiencies.
TML: India operations showed significant revenue improvement as compared to Q3 a year ago, however commodity inflation impacted the margins. As a result, TML reported EBIT of (1.7)% and pre-tax loss (before exceptional items) of ₹ 0.8K Cr for Q3FY22. PV business continued its turnaround journey and strengthened its double-digit market share with highest sales in any calendar year since inception. EV sales witnessed a new peak of 5,592 units in Q3FY22.
Outlook: The demand remains strong despite near term concerns from Omicron spread. The semiconductor supply situation is improving gradually whilst inflation worries persist. Over the last two years, the resilience of the business has improved, and it is now intrinsically stronger. With concerted actions in place to address the near-term supply and cost challenges, we expect performance to improve further in Q4FY22 and beyond.
