In FY24, EBITDA stood at โน1,167 cr and observed an increase of 50% YoY. This was on account of price hikes and benign raw material cost. The EBIT for the agri machinery business was โน778 cr, for construction equipment business at โน159 cr and for RED at โน179 cr for the year. In 9M FY25, EBITDA stood at โน923 cr compared to โน920 cr in 9M FY24. Despite steady top-line growth, agri business profitability has declined. The harvester business performed well this quarter, however, as harvesters are currently imported & traded rather than manufactured domestically, their profitability is lower compared to locally produced components leading to higher purchases of stock in trade for the period.

#EBITDA #MARGIN
In FY24, the EBITDA margin stood at 13.2%. On a YoY basis, the increase can be attributed to benign raw material cost and price hikes undertaken by the company for the years. In 9M FY25, the EBITDA margin was 11.9% v/s 12.2% in 9M FY24 and declined by 30 bps YoY. Gross margin reduced by 230 bps majorly owing to higher purchase of stock in trade (company is importing parts & harvesters).

COMPANY POTENTIAL
โข In FY24, the domestic tractor industry saw a 7.4% decline in sales, falling to 8.8 lakh tractors from 9.6 lakh in FY23. This decrease was primarily due to erratic and inadequate rainfall, which caused delayed crop harvests and reduced sowing, adversely affecting rural cash flows and compounding the impact of a high base from the previous year. Despite the subdued performance in the latter half of FY24, recent trends suggest a shift towards a more positive industry outlook. Exports also experienced a decline, with tractor volumes dropping by 21.4% to 0.98 lakh from 1.25 lakh in FY23. โข In 9M FY25, the domestic tractor industry sales volume was 7.4 lakh units v/s 7 lakh units in 9M FY24. In the export market, the volume stood at 71.3k units v/s 71.4k units for 9M FY24. In Q3 FY25, the domestic industry sales volume was 2.7 lakh units as compared to 2.4 lakh units in Q3 FY24; while in exports market it was 22.1k units in Q3 FY25 v/s 21.3k units in Q3 FY24. FY24. In Q3 FY25, the same stood at 22,800 units v/s 19,900 units in Q3 FY24. โข For 9M FY25, the construction equipment (served industry) industry sales volume stood at 54,300 units v/s 51,700 units in 9M โข The size of Indiaโs construction equipment market is estimated at $7.3 Billion (~โน61,000 cr) in 2024. In FY24, the industry sales for construction equipment was ~71,500 units v/s 55,400 units in FY23 an increase of 29% YoY, of which backhoe loaders were ~51,400 units, ~14,400 units constituted cranes and ~5,800 units were compactors. The major factors driving the boost in Indiaโs construction equipment market include improved road construction infrastructure, and an increasing urbanization rate. With better road transportation infrastructure and a rise in urban population, there is a greater demand for convenience in personal mobility, healthcare, sanitation, and water supply, among others.

COMPANY OUTLOOK
โข On 23rd October 2024, EKL entered into a Business Transfer Agreement with Sona BLW Precision Forgings Limited to transfer its Railway Equipment Business Division (RED) as a going concern through a slump sale. The transaction involves a lump sum cash consideration of โน1,600 cr, subject to the terms outlined in the agreement. The divestment is contingent on customary closing conditions, including obtaining required approvals and permissions. The company expects this divestment to get completed within 1 year. โข During Q3 FY25, the Railway Equipment Division (RED) has been classified under discontinued operations, with previous periods reclassified accordingly as per Ind AS 105 โ Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. โข The board has approved the sale and transfer of ~33,000 sq yards of land adjacent to the RED to Sona Comstar for ~โน110 cr. Currently occupied by the company's spare parts division, the site will be vacated and the division will be relocated to a new facility before the transaction is finalized. โข Post-September, industry growth has been exceptional in the South, West, and key opportunity markets like Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Jharkhand. With significant untapped potential in these regions, efforts have been initiated to expand market coverage. New products have been introduced for these markets, and a gradual improvement in market share is expected over the next 3 to 6 months. Regarding Kubota, while it has a strong presence in the South and West, these regions had been on a declining trend for over a year, significantly impacting dealer profitability. โข An expression of interest (EOI) was submitted to the UP government for land acquisition, initially expected by January-end but now delayed. The process is ongoing, and further formalities will proceed once the government finalizes the acquisition.
Channel inventory has been reduced, and domestic market share in Q3 FY25 stands at 11.8%. In line with the strategy of offering innovative products, the recently launched Promaxx Series (primarily targeted at the western market, including Gujarat, Maharashtra, and select regions where presence is currently limited, also in Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and parts of Madhya Pradesh) under the Farmtrac brand in the 30-50 HP category delivered strong performance with advanced technology, ensuring superior comfort and versatility for various applications. The network currently includes ~1,540 exclusive dealers. โข For FY25, the domestic tractor industry is anticipated to witness growth of ~6%-7%. โข In Q3 FY25, non-tractor segment that includes, agri machinery business, engine business, and the service and spare parts business accounted for 21% of agri machinery revenue, compared to 19% in Q3 FY24 and 18% in Q2 FY25. โข From January 2025, the CE industry has transitioned to higher emission norms. During Q3 FY25, a range of Stage 5 emissioncompliant products was introduced, along with the unveiling of a new entry-level Hydra crane and the BLX 75 backhoe loader. These additions were made under the E-Kubota brand. Looking ahead, a temporary volume impact is expected in the CE industry due to price escalation following the transition to BS-V. Models shifting from BS-III to BS-V will see a 10%+ cost increase, while those moving from BS-IV to BS-V will experience a 5%-6% rise. Given this steep hike, a significant profitability surge is not anticipated. However, over the year, cost recovery is expected, leading to a flattish to slightly positive profitability growth. FY26 is projected to remain stable rather than see a decline. โข Through Kubota channel, the company is mostly exporting to Europe. In FY26, the growth is expected to exceed 20%, supported by a low base this year and improving demand from European markets, leading to stronger export performance. Export margins are generally in line with domestic margins, despite a slightly lower contribution. While realizations are higher in exports, current CASE STUDY exchange rates have balanced the margin difference.

#EBITDA #GROWTH
In FY25, the EBITDA was โน1,063 cr an increase of 24% YoY. Better product mix and favourable raw material prices led to this increase. In the previous year, elevated cotton prices led to high-cost inventory, whereas this year saw a more favourable cost & inventory scenario. Company made higher spends towards advertisement and promotion and in the coming years as well, the spends are going to be higher (4%-5% of revenue). Premiumization is advancing as consumers increasingly prefer higher-priced offerings within product categories. This trend, backed by rising disposable income and improved product features, is leading to enhanced per-unit realisation. In FY24, EBITDA experienced a slight increase of 1.1% YoY, reaching โน872 cr. While key expenses and other line item expenses stabilized, the lower sales volume did not translate into corresponding benefits.
