Jamna Auto Industries Q2 Results Review

BQ Prime’s special research section collates quality and in-depth equity and economy research reports from across India’s top brokerages, asset managers and research agencies. These reports offer BQ Prime’s subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy. 

Jamna Auto Industries Ltd.’s earnings were below our estimates. The company’s Q2 FY23 revenue stood at Rs 5,527 million, up 1% QoQ and 57% YoY; QoQ revenue rose marginally despite the drop in the medium and heavy commercial vehicle industry’s production volume (down by 8% QoQ).

Gross margin came in at 31.8%, down 270 basis points QoQ mainly due to an inferior product mix – lower share of new products and higher share of ligt commercial vehicles.

Furthermore, we believe that consumption of high-cost inventory led to the pressure on gross margin.

Jamna Auto reported Ebitda margin of 10.2% (down 200 basis points versus our estimate), down ~290 bps QoQ due to lower gross margin.

Reported Ebitda at Rs 561 million decreased by 6.5% QoQ and was 23% below our estimate, mainly due to lower-than-expected revenue and higher raw material costs.

Jamna Auto continues to maintain a dominant market share in the original equipment manufacturer segment.
