Outlook positive, industry leading growth to continue…

Minda Industries (MIL) reported operationally strong Q4FY21 results. Including Harita Seating financials, consolidated revenues rose 49.4% YoY, up 10.2% QoQ to | 2,238 crore. Margins dipped 25 bps QoQ to 13.5% despite 170 bps gross margin contraction with operating leverage benefits rescuing the performance. Reported consolidated PAT was at | 140.4 crore vs. | 13.1 crore in Q4FY20 with share of profit from subsidiaries & associates improving substantially to | 21.5 crore for Q4FY21. MIL declared a final dividend of | 0.5/share with total dividend for FY21 at | 0.85/share.

 

Multiple triggers in place for continued topline outperformance

Post-merger of Harita Seating Systems, switches, lighting, acoustics formed 28%, 22%, 10% of FY21 consolidated product mix with castings, seatings contributing 12%, 10%, respectively. MIL is expected to continue to benefit from OEM ramp-up in base user industries (2-W: 4-W mix at 47%: 53%) post waning of second Covid-19 wave as underlying demand stays strong (MIL operated at ~85-95% capacity utilisation in Q4FY21).

Industry-beating growth at MIL was evident in Q4FY21 and is poised to continue, growing forward, given the impetus on kit value increase, client additions, new product introduction – particularly on EV side for the latter (smart plugs, telematics under production with BCM, BMS, on-board chargers, DC-DC convertors under development). Product mix is set to improve further, going forward (aided by 2-W alloy wheel ramp up, 4-W alloy wheel expansion, higher contribution from sensors) while electric 2-W provides headroom for ~4.5x higher content/vehicle.
