Hyundai Motor India Limited Q2 and H1 FY25 Financial Results
The Board of Directors of Hyundai Motor India Limited (The Company) today approved the financial results (Standalone and Consolidated) for the second quarter and first half year of FY 2024-25. The Company sold a total of 3,83,994 units of passenger vehicles during this period. This includes 2,99,094 units in the domestic market with a strong contribution from the SUV segment. The export volume stood at 84,900 units. During the period, the Company registered Revenue from operations of INR 3,46,046.18 million, a decrease of 1.92% against INR 3,52,832.02 million in the corresponding period of the previous year. The Profit Before Tax (PBT) for H1 of 2024-25 stands at INR 38,532.29 million compared to INR 40,205.15 million of H1 FY 2023-24. The Net Profit (PAT) for the period stands at INR 28,651.21 million compared to INR 29,576.50 million of H1 FY 2023-24. Despite reduction in volumes, the company was able to maintain a PAT of 8.2% during H1 of FY 2024-25.
Amey Chalke of JM Financial Institutional Securities Ltd said,”Aurobindo’s (ARBP) 2QFY25 results were broadly in-line with our expectations. Revenue/EBITDA/PAT grew 8%/12%/8% YoY, and margins expanded by 65 bps YoY. The US segment, which accounts for 45% of sales, grew by 4% YoY, marred by supply chain challenges – this should ease as production gets streamlined. Europe reported robust 19% YoY grow driven by strong performance across key markets. Growth markets grew 44% YoY and API segments reported muted growth at -1% YoY. ARBP is heavily investing in high ROIC areas (above 20%), such as PenG & its derivatives, biosimilars, biologic CDMO, specialty oncology and complex injectables. These investments are expected to drive Revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 9%/13%/15% respectively over FY24 to FY27, despite a sharp decline in Revlimid sales in FY27. With improving business fundamentals and structural growth drivers in place, ARBP’s currently trades at ~17x/15x on FY26/27 EPS, which appears attractive and represents a significant discount compared to peers. We maintain a BUY with a Dec’25 TP of INR 1,755.”
Centrum Broking said, “JUBI’s Q2FY25 print was in-line with our estimates; standalone revenue/EBITDA grew 9.1%/ 1.3%, yet PAT fell by 27.8%. Despite subdued consumption with strong execution of strategic priorities, JUBI delivered resilient LFL growth at 2.8%, better than industry. We note turnaround in Domino’s LFL growth was led by, (1) delivery channel sales/LFL grew by 15.9%/11.4% led by waiving off delivery fee, (2) brand campaign ‘IHOP’ driving strong new buyer footfall, (3) MAU at 12.8mn grew 18.5% with lower ticket size, and (4) app download grew 3% at 10.9mn. Further, 20-minute delivery and Rs99/- lunch menu helped to increase footfall in dine-in. Gross margin declined by 30bp to 76.1%. Higher employee cost (+6.0%) and SG&A (+14.1%) led to post-INDAS EBITDA margins at 19.4% (-150bp). JUBI remained confident on store expansion and improving trend in LFL led by strong menu innovation. Management remain upbeat as it saw strong momentum in last 40 days which would continue in H2 as per our view. With lower H1, we tweak earnings and retain BUY with a revised SOTP-based TP of Rs713 (implying EV/EBITDA of 27x Sep FY27E).”

Shree Cement – Results marginally lower than estimates; Capex on track (Add, TP: Rs25,562)
Centrum Broking said, “Shree Cements (SRCM) reported results which were only marginally lower than our expectations. Volumes de-grew 7.3% YoY while realizations fell 2.2% QoQ and as a result, revenue declined by 19% YoY. EBITDA at Rs5.9bn was down 32% YoY and 5% below our estimates. Management highlighted that its strategy of value over volumes and increased premium cement sales (15% of trade sales) resulted in minimizing the fall in realizations. Company’s capex plan is on track and is expected to be completed by 1QFY26 thereby inching closer to the long term vision of 80mn mt by FY28. We have rolled our valuation forward to Sep26 and revised TP now stands at Rs25,562 (earlier Rs26,300) based on 16x EV/EBITDA multiple.”
