Management Comments:

Mr. T V Narendran, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director:

“This has been a challenging quarter for the Global and Indian economy with rising interest rates, supply chain constraints and slowdown in China due to COVID.  Despite these multiple headwinds, Tata Steel has delivered a strong performance with an improvement in margins. Our strong marketing franchise and superior business model in India enabled us to successfully pivot and increase our domestic deliveries to counter the 15% duty imposed on steel exports in the middle of the quarter. We continue to drive value accretive growth in India backed by investments in customer relationships, brands and distribution networks and remain well positioned to benefit from the buoyant automotive & retail housing demand and the government spend on infrastructure. Our European business delivered a sharp improvement in performance as long term contracts and product mix helped drive a strong increase in realizations.  We are geared towards commissioning the 6 MTPA pellet plant at Kalinganagar in 3QFY23 which will drive cost savings followed by the CRM complex and the 5 MTPA expansion project.  Our subsidiary, Tata Steel Long Products, has completed the strategic acquisition of Neelachal Ispat Nigam Limited and will drive growth of our long products business.  We continue to progress on our sustainability journey and are committed to being net zero by 2045. We are also focused on making Tata Steel more diverse & inclusive and were ranked 3rd among manufacturing companies by Great Place to Work in India.”

Mr. Koushik Chatterjee, Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer:

“Tata Steel continues to deliver operationally and financially despite the complex operating environment, sudden impact of regulatory changes and the heightened volatility in commodity prices. Our Consolidated revenues for the quarter stood at Rs 63,430 crores and our consolidated EBITDA stood at Rs 15,047 crores, despite the sharp rise in input costs especially coking coal and gas prices in Europe. Our EBITDA margin increased QoQ from 22% to 24% and EBITDA per ton increased from Rs 18,937 to Rs 22,717. Consolidated PAT for the quarter stood at Rs 7,714 crores. In India, Standalone revenue stood at Rs 32,021 crores and EBITDA was Rs 9,616 crores. In Europe, we achieved highest ever quarterly EBITDA of £621 million, which translates to an EBITDA per ton of £290. We expect that volatility in terms of steel price and input cost movement to continue in the next quarter but expect the spreads to stabilise in the second half of the year. We spent Rs 2,725 crores on capital expenditure in line with our annual capex guidance as we progress on our Kalinganagar expansion. The volatility in commodity prices and immediate impact of the export duty in India have led to an increase in working capital but our cost improvement and other initiatives along with expected pickup in demand in the second half of the year should result in normalisation of working capital. In spite of significant working capital pressures, the Net debt stood at Rs 54,504 crores and our financial metrics continue to remain strong with Net debt to EBITDA <1.0x. We remain committed to our annual deleveraging target of $1 billion in line with our capital allocation strategy to reduce our debt. I am happy to report that the 10:1 stock split has received the necessary approvals and the Company has set 29th July, 2022 as the record date to give effect to the split.”
