Apollo Tyres Limited
Q2 FY27 Earnings Conference Call
November 05, 2026
Joseph George: Good afternoon. On behalf of IIFL Capital, I welcome you all for the 2Q FY
'27 Results Conference Call of Apollo Tyres Limited. From the
management, we have with us today Mr. Ravi Kumar Shingari, Chief
Financial Officer and Himanshu Sharma, Head, Investor Relations and
Budgeting.
I would now like to hand over the call to Mr. Ravi Kumar Shingari for his
opening remarks.
Over to you, Ravi.
Ravi Kumar Shingari: Thanks, Joseph. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us
today. I would like to welcome you all to the Apollo Tyres Quarter Two FY
’27 Earnings Call.
Before I begin, let me say that I'm honored to take the role of Chief Financial
Officer at Apollo Tyres. I would like to thank Chairman Sir, Neeraj, the
Board and the leadership team for the trust they have placed in me.
Apollo Tyres has built a strong foundation over the years and I look forward
to working closely with the team as we continue to enhance performance,
strengthen financial discipline and create long-term value for our
shareholders and stakeholders.
Unfortunately, Neeraj could not join us today for the call due to some
unexpected circumstances, but on his behalf, and on behalf of Apollo
Tyres, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Diwali.
Coming to the performance, the second quarter was characterized by a
challenging operating environment, marked by persistent geopolitical
uncertainty and significant inflation in the key raw material cost. Despite
these headwinds, I am very happy to say that the busy delivered a resilient
performance and continued to execute on its strategic priorities.
On a consolidated basis, our revenue grew over 16% year-on-year to Rs.
INR 79.7 billion, while EBITDA stood at INR 8.6 billion, translating into an
EBITDA margin of 10.7%. More importantly, this was our strongest year-
on-year revenue growth in the last 16 quarters, reflecting the strength of
our brands, customer relationships and market positioning. While
profitability was impacted by elevated raw material cost, disciplined cost
management and operating efficiencies helped partially offset the
inflationary pressures.
While I'll come back to the results in a little while, let me take this
opportunity to talk about the tangible progress we are making across our
strategic priorities, reinforcing the long-term foundations of the business.
On the innovation front, we further strengthened our product portfolio
through new approvals and engagements with leading OEMs including
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Mahindra and Tata Motors. In digital
transformation, we are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence and
advanced analytics to improve productivity, quality and operational
reliability.
During the quarter, we successfully completed the SAP S/4HANA
implementation for our US business and now we are on our way to
implement the same for the European and the Indian operations.
On brand building, we continue to invest behind both Apollo and
Vredestein, driving consumer engagement across our key markets. In
India, our BCCI led campaigns significantly expanded our rural outreach,
while in Europe, targeted partnerships and premium positioning initiatives
further strengthened the Vredestein brand.
Equally importantly, we remain focused on strengthening organizational
capability. During the quarter, our Chennai plant was recognized with the
CII EFI National Excellence Award for Employee Relations, reflecting our
commitment to building a highly engaged and collaborative workforce.
Sustainability remains deeply embedded within our long-term strategy. We
continue to strengthen our ESG framework and are encouraged by the
recognition received from leading ESG rating agencies. Operationally, our
AP plant and our Kerala plant achieved Gold Level Zero Waste to Landfill
Certification, further supporting our 2030 sustainability ambitions.
Coming back to the results, let me briefly touch upon India operations to
start with. India operations revenue increased by nearly 26% year-on-year
to INR 59.2 billion, representing an acceleration over the growth delivered
in the first quarter. The performance was broad-based across both
Replacement and OEM channels with volume growth and pricing
contributing almost equally to the top-line expansion.
Profitability remained affected by the sharp escalation in raw material cost.
India EBITDA stood at INR 6.6 billion with a margin of 11.1% compared to
15.3% in the corresponding period last year. However, I believe the more
important takeaway from the first half year is the company's response to
this inflation cycle. Since April 2026, raw material costs have increased by
approximately 25%, making this one of the steepest and fastest cost
inflation episodes we have experienced in many years.
In response, Apollo has implemented pricing actions of up to 15% in the
Replacement segment alongside meaningful price increases in the OEM
business. While raw material prices will eventually stabilize and may even
soften over a period of time, our objective is to ensure that the enhanced
pricing discipline demonstrated during this cycle becomes a permanent
feature of the business. We strongly believe that this will contribute to a
fundamentally stronger, more resilient and more profitable business model
over the long term.
Looking ahead, we expect demand conditions in India to remain supportive.
While reported volume growth may moderate over the coming quarters due
to higher base, revenue momentum should continue to benefit from the
pricing actions implemented since April.
On margins, although the direction of recovery is clear, the price timing
actually will depend on the trajectory of commodity markets and geopolitical
developments. Our focus will remain on balancing growth with profitability
while maintaining disciplined execution.
Turning to Europe, the operating environment remained challenging during
the quarter. Revenue declined by 12% year-on-year to EUR 157 million,
primarily reflecting weakness in the truck and agriculture segments, which
was impacted by temporary supply disruptions as a fallout of our Enschede
plant closure.
But despite these challenges, there were encouraging signs beneath the
surface. Our PCR business continued to gain market share despite
subdued demand conditions, reinforcing the strength of a brand and
product proposition.
EBITDA margins for the European operations for the quarter stood at
10.3%. While our margin recovery trajectory in Europe has taken longer
than initially anticipated, that has been due to the combination of market
softness and transition-related challenges, but our strategic rationale
remains unchanged. The actions we are undertaking today are intended to
create a structurally more competitive and financially stronger European
business.
