Please note this conference is being recorded. I now hand the conference over to Mr.
Laksh Vaaman Sehgal from Motherson. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Laksh Vaaman Sehgal: Thank you, and good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining us for the Q1 FY '27
earnings call of Samvardhana Motherson International Limited.
We are pleased to report our highest-ever quarterly revenue in Q1 FY '27, driven by robust
performance across our businesses. Revenue grew by 17% year-on-year and 3%
sequentially during the quarter. It is worth noting that historically, Q1 has always seen a
sequential decline in revenue over Q4. This year, however, Q1 revenues came in higher
than Q4 FY '26, underscoring the strength of the momentum across our businesses.
The growth was driven by healthy performance across all our core businesses as well as
our emerging businesses, particularly those built using our D.E.M.A.L. capabilities,
namely consumer electronics and aerospace.
Within wiring harness, there was strong momentum in India, combined with the recovery
in the North American commercial vehicle business, which drove 31% year-on-year
revenue growth. The modules and polymer, vision systems as well as integrated
assemblies businesses grew in-line with the industry.
Our consumer electronics business continues to scale meaningfully. The third facility
remains on track for commissioning in the third quarter of FY '27 and will bring added
upstream integration capabilities. Capex for this third facility is expected to be
approximately INR 65 billion spread over a period of 3 years, building manufacturing
capacity of 40 million units annually at full scale. Our Aerospace business delivered
revenue growth of over 20% year-on-year, while the order book grew by more than 17%
since FY '26 end, giving us strong visibility on future growth.
EBITDA grew by 26% during the quarter, ahead of revenue growth, with EBITDA margin
improving by 60 basis points year-on-year. This improvement was primarily driven by the
modules and polymer business, wherein the restructuring initiatives undertaken over the
last 1.5 years to breathe with the market helped absorb input cost inflation and deliver
year-on-year margin improvement.
Normalized PAT grew by 55% in the first quarter of FY '27, driven by the scale-up across
our businesses. There were no one-off items impacting PAT this quarter. Adjusted for the

normalization in the base quarter, the Q1 FY '27 PAT grew 102% on a reported basis. These
results were delivered against a genuinely tough external business environment, which
makes this performance all the more meaningful.
Globally, the light vehicle industry de-grew by 1.8% year-on-year during the quarter, led by
weaknesses in China, the largest automotive market, which de-grew by 3.1%. South Asia,
led by India, was a clear bright spot and continued to see strong growth. Planned European
OEM launches are expected to support industry growth in the quarters and years ahead.
On the commercial vehicle side, a recovery in North American market has sustained the
CV industry's growth momentum, which is estimated to have grown 5.4% year-on-year.
The outlook for the CV industry remains favorable through FY '27.
That said, certain developments did weigh on the business during the quarter. Copper
prices continued to rise up 4% sequentially, following increases of 13% and 16%
sequentially in the third quarter of FY '26 and the fourth quarter of FY '26, respectively. On
a year-on-year basis, copper prices are now up 40%, creating near-term input cost
pressures, as these costs are typically passed on to the customers with a lag of 1 or 2
quarters.
Geopolitically driven crude price inflation also pushed polymer prices in Germany up by
55% year-on-year and 66% sequentially. This primarily affected our MPP and Vision
Systems divisions. Nonetheless, both divisions held flat to improving margins aided by
ongoing cost optimization initiatives.
We continue to work with our customers to pass on these higher input costs. Freight costs
were similarly affected, with the World Container Index up 40% year-on-year and 83%
sequentially. In certain instances, we incurred additional costs to ensure timely delivery
to our customers.
Detailed divisional performance and the underlying drivers of revenue and profitability are
covered on Slide 15 to 18 of the presentation.
With that, I will now hand over to our CFO, Gandharv, to take you through the key highlights
on capital allocation, our balance sheet and recent M&A activity. Gandharv.
Gandharv Tongia: Thank you, Vaaman.
We continued to invest heavily in capex during the quarter to build future revenue streams.
We spent INR 1,614 crores on capex in the first quarter, in-line with our full year guidance
of INR 6,000 crores, plus/minus 10%. This represented 52% of the quarter's EBITDA
invested across growth, backward integration and maintenance capex and should
support both business expansion and margin improvement going forward.

3 plants were operationalised during the quarter, and we currently have 13 facilities at
various stages of development, of which 10 are expected to become operational during
the course of this year. Despite this continued investment in growth, we further improved
our leverage position. Our leverage ratio is now at an all-time low of 0.8x, well within our
financial policy ceiling of 2.5x and our internal aspiration of staying below 1.5x. This
reflects the financial discipline we continue to maintain across the organization.
