Tata Metalik's (TML's) Q3FY23 performance was adversely impacted by operational issues with one of the blast furnaces, which had frequent shutdowns thereby increasing the operating costs. The blast furnace was repaired in early December 2022 and is now operating well.
- TML's revenue was at Rs. 790 crore, up 15% YoY but down 10% QoQ. TML's pig iron sales volumes were at ~63000 tonnes, down 25% YoY. TML's ductile iron (DI) pipes sales volume was at ~77000 tonnes, up 16% YoY & 11% QoQ. The growth in DI pipe volume was aided by the new plant. DI pipe plant - 2 (new plant) had a vertical ramp-up wherein production of finished DI pipes touched 25 KT in Q3FY23 compared to 13 KT in Q2FY23
- TML's EBITDA for the quarter was at Rs. 39 crore, down 43% YoY and 5% QoQ. TML's EBITDA margin for the quarter was at 4.9% compared to 4.7% in Q2FY23 and 9.8% in Q2FY23
- Ensuing PAT for Q3FY23 was at Rs. 9 crore, down 74% YoY and 34% QoQ
Key triggers for future price performance
- Domestic demand of pig iron is expected to firm up in Q4FY23 as utilisation levels in general castings, agriculture, etc are likely to improve
- Demand outlook for DI pipes for Q4FY23 is robust in line with government's increased outlay through Jal Jeevan mission to provide drinking water
