Consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015
Tata Motors today reported consolidated revenues (net of excise) of Rs61,020 crore for the quarter, as against Rs64,683 crore for the corresponding quarter of the previous year, due to lower sales and weaker geographic mix at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), partially offset by strong revenue growth in standalone business on the back of continued M&HCV growth. The consolidated profit before tax for the quarter was Rs4,359 crore, as compared to Rs7,528 crore for the corresponding quarter of the previous year and the consolidated profit after tax (post minority interest and share of profit / (loss) of associates (net)) for the quarter was Rs2,769 crore as compared to Rs5,398 crore for the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
Tata Motors stand-alone financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015
Fleet replacement demand mainly in the high tonnage segment continued to support the company sales growth of 20.7 percent YoY in the domestic MHICV segment in the quarter. However, the domestic LCV segments (mainly the SCV) continued to remain weak, witnessing a de-growth of 19.0 percent YoY, due to the tough financing environment and lack of last mile load availability. Exports of the commercial vehicles saw strong growth of 38.0 percent YoY in the quarter. As a result, the overall CV sales were almost flat in the quarter. New launches in the Prima LX, Ultra range and SCV range as well as other product enhancements provides a strong foundation for the future growth. In this quarter we celebrated the tenth anniversary of Tata Ace that had created a new small commercial vehicle (SCV) category when launched and has surpassed the 1.5 million sales mark in these ten years.
In passenger vehicles, Zest, Bolt and newly launched GenX Nano, supported the sales growth in the quarter. The domestic passenger vehicles segment of the company grew 27.4 percent YoY in the quarter with car segment growth of 42.2 percent YoY in the quarter. Company expects to continue its volume growth with full year of Zest, Bolt, new GenX Nano and other new and exciting products that will be launched in the coming time period under the company’s Horizonext strategy.
The sales (including exports) of commercial and passenger vehicles for the quarter, stood at 1,17,439 vehicles, a growth of 6.2 percent as compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

Operating profit (EBITDA) for the quarter stood at £821 million at 16.4 percent, against £1,087 million for the corresponding quarter last year. The financial performance in the quarter was lower than the strong corresponding quarter last year due to softer sales in China partially offset by strong performance in the UK, Europe and North America.
Land Rover maintained healthy sales in the quarter with Range Rover, Range Rover Sport Discovery and Defender all up compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Furthermore, the Discovery Sport performed well, already outselling the Freelander which it replaced. Evoque sales were lower due to the ramp up of localised production in China and softer market conditions there. Jaguar sales volumes were down as the sales of XF and XJ fell ahead of the all new lightweight XF and the refreshed XJ 16MY, on sale in autumn this year, partially offset by the successful introduction of the new Jaguar XE.
