Exide Ind.: Strong Start to the Year
Jul 28, 2016

Exide Industries announced first quarter results of the financial year 2016-2017 (1QFY17). The company has reported a 14% YoY and 10% YoY growth in revenues and net profits respectively. Here is our analysis of the results.

Performance summary
  • Revenues grow by 14% YoY during 1QFY17 as demand for both automotive and industrial batteries show some improvement.
  • Operating margins improve by 0.7% to 15.7% during the quarter on account of lower staff costs and other expenditure (as percentage of sales).
  • Net profits grow by 10% YoY, lower than the growth in operating profits on account of the reduction in other income and higher tax expenses.
