Tata Motors’ Passenger Vehicles continue growth momentum in April 2017; Commercial Vehicles strongly affected by the SC judgement

Commenting on the sales performance, Mr. Mayank Pareek, President, Passenger Vehicles Business Unit, Tata Motors, said, “While the industry faced short-term headwinds further to the BS III verdict, Tata Motors continued its robust sales performance with a growth of 23% in April led by a strong pipeline for Tiago and a positive response for our new lifestyle UV - Tata HEXA. We have successfully completed the launch of Tata TIGOR across the country and are delighted that it has been well received by our customers. We hope to see this momentum continue with an encouraging growth on the back of our strong product portfolio.”

Mumbai, May 01, 2017: In April 2017, Tata Motors passenger vehicles, in the domestic market, continued its growth momentum at 12,827 nos., a growth of 23%, over April 2016, due to an encouraging response for its recently launched lifestyle UV, Tata HEXA and its latest Styleback, the Tata TIGOR. The Tata TIAGO continues to maintain good order pipeline.

Tata Motors commercial vehicles were affected by the Supreme Court judgement announced on March 29, with the ban on BS3 sales, leading to the need for a higher quantity of BS4 stock for April sales. The higher demand at short notice, was not met in production, as vendors struggled to meet with the higher demand, especially in the MHCV segments. Moreover, after the strong pre-buying of BS3 vehicles in March, and the price increase of BS4 vehicles (especially in the MHCV and Buses at 8-10%), demand for BS4 vehicles was also weak. The commercial vehicles sales in April 2017, in the domestic market, were at 16,017 nos., lower by 36% over April 2016. This is an unusual decline, in exceptional circumstances.

Tata Motors expects production, wholesales and retails to pick up in May and June.

Tata Motors passenger and commercial vehicle total sales (including exports) in April 2017 were at 30,972 vehicles, a degrowth of 21% over 39,389 vehicles sold in April 2016. The company’s domestic sales of Tata commercial and passenger vehicles for April 2017 were at 28,844 nos., lower by 19%, over 35,604 nos., in April 2016.

I guess Tigor is not well received yet in the market solely because of​ it's engines and not so delicious introductory pricing. With Tiago AMT receiving good bookings, I feel Tiago numbers could be in the range of 5.5-6K as average Tiago sales was 5K for the past few months continuously. Zest also will be getting good response as it is now open to taxi market and seeing lot of them in yellow plates on the road. It's sad that, still sales are hovering around the 12K mark. We are not able​ to break the 15K barrier. From another thread, I could see TML is not in first five position for the month of April sales. Hexa still suffering with production backlog ? It should sell at least 2K for what a fantastic product it is. The sad thing is Tiago and Hexa hit the right chords with their package and pricing, but the Tigor doesn't. Everybody expected rock bottom pricing but they went ahead with normal pricing and it reflected in people's reactions in the first few hours of launch itself. If the new Dzire is not priced foolishly high over the current one, Tigor will definitely feel the heat. And the Tigor's TVC is too bland and unexciting. Meanwhile where is their Global Brand Ambassador Messi ? I hope I'm proved wrong in case of Tigor[:)]

Tiago April 2017: 4115
Tigor April 2017: 3638
Zest : 1985
Upon the arrival of new Maruti Dzire and the new Xcent introduced late last month, I feel, in June sales, Tigor sales would be around 2500-2700, Tiago is steady and successful and will remain around same figures of 4K mark. As for the Zest and Aspire, the sales figures might show more decline due to New Dzire, New Xcent and Tigor. I guess the June sales figures for Zest to be around 1200-1500 units. As for Tigor, I am sure, it will be a good performer for TATA in terms of sales.

Buddies,

Mumbai, May 23, 2017

Consolidated Net Revenue Q4 FY 17 ₹77,272 crores, Consolidated PAT ₹4,336 crores

Consolidated Net Revenue FY 17 ₹269,850 crores, Consolidated PAT ₹7,557 crores

Consolidated Financial Results for the Quarter and Year ended March 31, 2017 – As per Ind-AS

For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, Tata Motors reported consolidated revenues (net of excise) of ₹77,272 crores as against ₹79,549 crores for the corresponding quarter last year. Consolidated revenues for the quarter are lower by ₹ 9,032 crores due to translation impact from GBP to INR.

Consolidated Profit before tax for the quarter was ₹5,166 crores, against ₹5,888 crores for the corresponding quarter last year. This broadly reflects:-
In Jaguar Land Rover business-

Strong retail sales, up 13.0% y-o-y on continued strong demand for the product, revenue (in £) up 10.1% y-o-y ;

Higher wholesale volumes partially offset by overall higher marketing expenses and higher depreciation and amortization.

In Standalone business-

De-growth in the M&HCV segment and LCV segment partially offset by growth in Passenger vehicle segment.

Consolidated Profit after tax (post profit / loss in respect of joint ventures and associate companies) for the quarter was ₹4,336 crores, against the Consolidated Profit after tax (post profit / loss in respect of joint ventures and associate companies) of ₹5,211 crores for the corresponding quarter last year. Consolidated Profit after tax (post profit / loss in respect of joint ventures and associate companies) for the quarter are lower by ₹747 crores, due to translation impact from GBP to INR.

The Consolidated Profit before tax for the year ended March 31, 2017 was ₹9,315 crores against ₹14,126 crores for the last year. Consolidated Profit after tax (post profit / loss in respect of joint ventures and associate companies) for the year ended March 31, 2017 was ₹7,557 crores, as against ₹11,678 crores for the last year. Consolidated revenues and Consolidated Profit after tax (post profit / loss in respect of joint ventures and associate companies) for the year are lower by ₹ 27,686 crores and ₹1,074 crores, due to translation impact from GBP to INR.

During Q4 FY17, the Company reviewed the presentation of foreign exchange gain/(loss) in the income statement, following the continued increase in hedging activity and volatility in FX rates. Accordingly, it was considered more appropriate to present realised foreign exchange relating to the hedging of revenue and costs exposures as an adjustment to revenue and costs for Q4 FY17 and FY17. Foreign exchange gain/(loss) unrelated to hedging are presented separately as a line item in the results. The prior period figures have also been reclassified on this basis. There is no impact upon the reported profit before tax and profit after tax in either of the financial years or quarters due to this change in presentation of the foreign exchange impact.

Tata Motors Standalone Financial Results (including Joint Operations) for the Quarter and year ended March 31, 2017 - As per Ind-AS

Tata Motors sales at 38,361 units in May 2017; Passenger vehicles grew by 27%

· Sales of Tata Motors passenger commercial vehicles (including M&HCV & IL&SCV passenger commercial vehicles), grew by 6% in May 2017, over the corresponding period last year

· Sales of Tata Motors SCV cargo grew by 10% over the corresponding period last year

Commenting on the sales performance Mr. Mayank Pareek, President, Passenger Vehicles Business Unit, Tata Motors, said, “Tata Motors sales continues to grow on a positive course at the back of strong performance of the new generation cars like Tiago, TIGOR and HEXA. However, the uncertainty and different interpretations of GST will impact the buying sentiment in Jun’17.”

New Delhi, June 02, 2017: Tata Motors passenger and commercial vehicle total sales (including exports) in May 2017 were at 38,361 vehicles, lower by 4% over 40,123 vehicles sold in May 2016. The company’s domestic sales of Tata Motors commercial and passenger vehicles for May 2017 were at 34,461 nos., lower by 3%, over 35,695 nos., in May 2016.

Domestic - Passenger Vehicles

In May 2017, Tata Motors passenger vehicles recorded sales at 10,855 nos. in the domestic market, a growth of 27%, over May 2016, due to continued strong demand for the Tata Tiago, the Tata Tigor and the Tata Hexa.

Domestic - Commercial Vehicles

The overall commercial vehicles sales in May 2017, in the domestic market were at 23,606 nos. lower by 13% over May 2016. The market continues to remain weak and the demand has still not picked up. There are early signs of retails of BS4 vehicles but it has still been slow.

Overall sales of Tata Motors’ M&HCV trucks* were at 6,522 nos. in May 2017, a decline of 40%, over a very strong May 2016 base. The sale in M&HCV was affected primarily due to severe global supply constraints of Fuel Injection Pumps for BS4 engines. ILCV trucks were at 2,368 units, lower by 12% over 2,697 units sold last year in May, impacted by late supplies of Fuel Injector Systems. These issues are expected to be resolved on short notice with full capacity available as of July 2017.

Sale of Tata Motors’ Small Cargo Vehicles, were at 10,572 nos. in May 2017, a growth of 10% over 9,645 units over May 2016. On the SCV and Pick-up segments, there is a strong sales recovery with full availability of BS4 products and good market response to new variants like Xenon Yodha and Ace Mega.

Tata Motors passenger commercial vehicles, inclusive of vehicles from all categories, continued to grow with a sale of 4,144 units; a growth of 6% in May 2017, over the corresponding period last year.

Exports

The company’s sales from exports was at 3,900 nos. in May 2017, a decline of 12% compared to 4,428 vehicles sold in May 2016. Retail drop of SCV in Sri Lanka after steep increase in import tariffs in late 2016, as well as fall in Nepal demand in the build up to their elections, has impacted April and May sales.

In addition to the amount, the company has also introduced a performance linked payment, which is accounted as 10% of total salary and will be linked to productivity, quality & safety. This new measurement of performance has been well received by workmen. The Annual Bonus linked to performance covering all permanent workers was also agreed upon.

Additionally, other benefits like Transport and Canteen facilities and various other facilities, like rationalization of leave rules and block closure days up to 24 days per year were mutually agreed.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Gajendra Chandel, Chief Human Resource Officer, “Tata Motors shares cordial working relationships with workers and members of its internal Union. We have strived to resolve the LTS issue and today are delighted to have resolved the matter for a long term, ensuring our business operations’ competitiveness on one hand and taking care of the well-being of our shop-floor colleagues on the other. I would like to thank all the workers for their incessant support. They have been very co-operative and have supported the Company at all times. Moreover, the Union which has been recently formed, is very supportive in ensuring workmen derive maximum benefits through this wage settlement. In the true spirit of the Tata culture, I personally urge all the workers to follow suit.

ET AUTO has got a different figure, no idea whether it's a typo or what !
When TM has declared their PV sales for May 2017 stands at 10,855, not sure how ET has a different number!

Domestic – Passenger Vehicles

In May 2017, Tata Motors passenger vehicles recorded sales at 10,855 nos. in the domestic market, a growth of 27%, over May 2016,
