Segment Highlights

  • Automotive Batteries: Exide saw significant demand in the automotive replacement segment, particularly in two-wheeler and four-wheeler batteries, contributing to revenue growth.
  • Industrial Batteries: Strong demand for industrial-UPS and solar applications sustained growth in Exide’s industrial segment. However, demand for Home-UPS was soft due to early monsoons, impacting sales in that sub-segment.

Sector Expectations for Exide Q2 Results FY24-25

Exide’s performance aligned with sector expectations, showing steady growth in revenue despite a competitive market environment. The company’s focus on high-margin segments and geographic expansion is expected to support future performance, even as the battery market experiences shifts toward lithium-ion technology.

Management Commentary

"In the first half of the year, we have delivered EBITDA and PBT margin of 11.4% and 9.0%, respectively. Efficient procurement coupled with cost optimization initiatives has led to stability in operating performance, despite high commodity prices. For the near-term, business outlook is positive, and commodity prices have started easing, which is expected to support profitability.

At Exide, we are making multiple strides and are driving strategic initiatives to leverage synergies across our business verticals. We have undertaken organizational and business realignment which will enable us to strengthen our go-to-market strategy and to capitalize on the strong market demand. With our latest technologically advanced products and services and focus on cost efficiencies, we aspire to achieve strong growth in sales and profitability.

Onsite construction works of the lithium-ion project is proceeding well. All the functions including manufacturing, procurement, R&D, IT, finance, quality & safety, HR etc. are working relentlessly to ensure project completion." – Avik Roy, MD & CEO.
