Amara Raja Energy & Mobility Ltd (BOM:500008) reported a consolidated revenue growth of about 5% in Q4 FY25, with the Lead Acid battery business contributing significantly. The domestic aftermarket for four-wheeler batteries showed a strong growth of 9% year-on-year, with overall volume growth at 15%. The New Energy business experienced a 35% revenue growth in the current quarter, driven by higher supply of ESS batteries to the telecom segment and continued performance of EV batteries. The company has successfully expanded its geographical presence, entering new markets such as the UK, Greece, and the Benelux region. Significant efforts in throughput enhancement have allowed the company to add capacities without incurring additional CapEx, potentially improving return ratios going forward. The company's profitability and operating margins were negatively impacted by increased material costs, particularly alloys like antimony, and higher power costs. There was a slowdown in the overall exports business, with international volumes experiencing a muted demand, leading to a 10% reduction over the previous year. The telecom segment within the Lead Acid business faced challenges, contributing to a muted overall industrial volume growth for the quarter. The New Energy business remained flat in terms of revenue for the year, with some existing customers losing market share. The company faces ongoing cost pressures from power and material costs, which may persist into the next quarters, affecting margins. Q: Could you provide details on the margin targets and the impact of recent price hikes? A: Y. Delli Babu, CFO: The target margin is 14%. We've taken a 2% price increase to mitigate cost pressures from alloys and power costs. The tubular battery plant and lead recycling plant will contribute to margins once fully operational. Current cost pressures may persist for a couple of quarters. Q: Is there a shift in the timeline for the New Energy business, particularly the cell business? A: Vikramadithya Gourineni, Executive Director - New Energy Business: The first giga factory is on track to come online as planned, primarily serving the light electric mobility business. Pricing from China is aggressive, affecting market dynamics. Q: What is the investment plan for the lithium cell project in FY26 and FY27? A: Y. Delli Babu, CFO: We've invested INR 850 crores so far, with INR 350 crores in the current year. For FY26, the New Energy business will require around INR 1,000 crores in CapEx. Q: How are discussions with OEMs progressing regarding local sourcing versus imports for EVs? A: Harshavardhana Gourineni, Executive Director - Automotive and Industrial: OEMs are keen on localized cells, but challenges exist due to the new ecosystem in India. We expect a 15-20% cost penalty initially, which should decrease over time as local supply chains develop. Q: Are there any supply issues with critical materials for LFP batteries from China? A: Y. Delli Babu, CFO: There are no supply constraints, but prices have increased due to export restrictions from China. Q: How will the new lithium-ion plant cater to both auto and industrial segments? A: Y. Delli Babu, CFO: The new plant will supply battery packs to both the automotive and storage segments, similar to our current operations. Q: What are the expected cash flow plans and payback periods for the new CapEx in the New Energy business? A: Y. Delli Babu, CFO: The New Energy business will require INR 2,000-2,500 crores in the first phase, funded by existing cash flows and some leverage. Payback periods are currently high, but will improve with scale. Q: How do you plan to address the competitive dynamics and pricing pressures in the market? A: Y. Delli Babu, CFO: We are monitoring competitive dynamics and may consider further price adjustments. Our focus is on cost-saving measures and maintaining current prices where possible.
