| Capex | Though these are a bit lower from the past two year levels, primarily due to higher working capital and ongoing capital expenditure for revenue to be … | — | We are not very heavy capex people in general, as you know, we and I explain to you beforehand, for at least land and equipment, we always lease. | — | We thus managed to fund our entire Capex spending of 335 crores from cash generated from operations. | This helped us meet our Capex spending of INR 319 crores, our investment in NOVELIC of INR 211 crores and dividend payout of INR 179 crores; all met t… | 415 crores in Capex that has left us with Rs. | Net of capex spend of 369 crores, we generated 290 crores as free cash flows. |

| Costs | On the cost side, as you would have seen in other companies and industries, raw material prices have continued to come down. | — | — | — | There is some softening of raw material costs that we see at this point in time. | — | We are also working on alternate raw material and the magnets both which are not having heavy earth. | — |
| Debt and cash | Our net debt continues to be negative, reflecting the balance sheet strength to raise debt in order to support future growth. | Our working capital turnover ratio has also improved due to better efficiency in the working capital. | So, on the improvement side of working capital and fixed asset turnovers have improved to 5.1 and 3.8 times respectively. | As I have explained in the last quarter also, different cost and working capital structure of the railway business is flowing through our key ratios t… | Slide 23: We now move to the cash flows. | And one metric that we don't usually speak about much, but we have done very strongly on this, is our free cash flows, which Amit will talk about in h… | Slide 24: This brings us to the cash flow slide, which we present every 6 months. | Slide 21: Coming to the cash flows, during the year, we generated 659 crores of cash from operations. |
| Demand | We continue to build our own EV order book, and in Q3 we have added four new EV programs and two new EV customers. | We won five new BEV programs, and we closed the last quarter with an all-time high net order book. | Sona Comstar – Q3 FY25 Earnings Call First, demand in Europe continues to remain weak, and we do not anticipate any imminent reversal of these trends. | Third, while the market remains focused on global volatility and potential demand disruption, our order pipeline tells us a very different story. | We close the financial year with a stronger order book, with the addition of several new programs, new customers, and new products. | We also introduced eight new products in just these three years, which have added more than INR 100 billion to our net order book, which has grown to … | In our opinion, they will adversely impact the demand for cars and light trucks. | We also continue to add to our EV order book. |
| Guidance | — | Second, aggressive discounting by a few EV two-wheeler companies has temporarily disrupted the EV two-wheeler market and its market shares, which has … | So, while we expect the supply schedules to normalize by March; 4th quarter will likely be weak because of these disruptions in the first two months. | We continue to monitor it, but Sat and Praveen can guide more on where we are, with those. | — | We expect this to continue for a few more months till there is some more policy certainty. | However, in the medium to long term, we expect many opportunities to emerge from this chaos. | And while a large part of this commodity inflation is pass through, 1) some parts are not passed through, and 2) there is always a lag and that lag al… |
| Margin | So in financial terms, we've achieved our highest revenue, highest EBITDA and highest net profit. | I welcome all of you to the earnings call for what has been our best quarter ever in terms of EBITDA, net profit, BEV revenue, BEV revenue share as we… | Slide 5: Now, coming to the numbers of the quarter, revenue grew by 12%, while EBITDA and net profit increased by 3% and 14%, respectively. | Thank you, Kapil, and Happy Basant Panchami and welcome everyone to the earning call of Q3.

| Pricing | I mean, we all saw the way, you know, the EV makers are looking at price cuts and aggressively pricing the models, and you know, in that context, when… | And just on your electric two-wheeler side, you mentioned about, you know, pricing pressures, sorry, volume pressures for some of your customers in th… | So some of the traditional OEMs that were, you know, that did have EV plants and EV programs in the US and in the European context, European OEMs are … | — | In fact, in April, we saw price increase. | One, I would say extreme discounting at this moment makes it perhaps not the best time to launch any vehicle, because the pricing can then be disappoi… | And in an event in which tariffs are imposed on every Sona Comstar – Q4 FY25 Earnings Call country, it is basically then your relative pricing that co… | I mean, we supply a sensor, that is the part, second, giving away pricing information is a competitive disadvantage. |
| Revenue growth | Our BEV revenue grew by 29% this quarter, whereas our non-BEV revenue grew by a robust 42% which is more than two times of the underlying market growt… | Slide 10: So yes, we want to highlight these three new EV events where we'll supply three of our new or recently developed products, which is always o… | This growth, I mean, if you compare it with the non-BEV revenue growth is 10 times is the BEV growth. | For 9 months, revenue growth is at 19%, while EBITDA and PAT have increased by 8% and 9% year on year respectively. | Another aspect I want to mention, but actually repeat, is that while this chart shows a linear growth of over 25% each year, it doesn't mean that each… | As you can see from the chart this year's revenue growth came primarily via consumption of INR 40 billion of the order book. | The year's revenue growth came primarily from the consumption of 31 billion rupees from the order book. | And yet we have delivered 26% revenue growth, 13.5% of EBITDA growth, and 11% PAT growth. |
