“A large project called Udaan was not just completed but fully adopted in this fiscal year.”

“We have, but that's behind us now, and that will be a tailwind for the Farm businesses as we go forward.”
Dr. Anish Shah
opening
“In a year where we started pivoting to growth late in the year, and we now hope to be able to drive that further, diversify further into mortgage, into SME, have fee income play a bigger role, and really create a stronger business where in rural and semi-urban we want to be the financial provider of choice.”
Dr. Anish Shah

“But I'll make the same comments I've always made on this, which is our target is 18.”
Dr. Anish Shah
opening
“Don't expect 57% for the next five years annualized EPS growth, but it's been a good path that we've had so far.”
Dr. Anish Shah
opening
“So looking ahead, and these are the pages we've sort of added to the presentation to just give a better picture of where we are and what you could expect going forward.”
Dr. Anish Shah
opening
“And while I will joke that you shouldn't expect a 57% year-over-year growth, you should expect a strong year-over-year growth as we get into the next 5 years or the next decade as well.”
Dr. Anish Shah

“So we don't expect uncertainty to go away, but we are best poised to take advantage of uncertainty.”
Dr. Anish Shah

“Again, not completely where we need to be, hopefully there will be more as we go forward.”
Risks & concerns — 12 flagged
And it wasn't as if last year's Q4 was a weak one, last year's Q4 was a strong one as well.
— Dr. Anish Shah
We put that through multiple risks that we see, whether it's geopolitical, whether it's raw material risk, whether it's single supplier, tech disruption, logistics, regulatory, and came up with 82-part families and 9 commodities at a high risk.
— Dr. Anish Shah
But we just wanted to put this out here to say that every business is driving a very high level of resilience and positions itself to grow in uncertain times as well.
— Dr. Anish Shah
That improves risk from a Mahindra Finance standpoint where documents are verified, fraud is lower, and that enhances revenue as well because if you get this kind of a service, a customer's going to take the loan with you versus try to go somewhere else and do other things.
— Dr. Anish Shah
All the 3 markets are seeing an industry slowdown, so which is impacting short-term profit.
— Mr. Rajesh Jejurikar
We will continue to show this separately so you're able to appreciate the impact of electric as standalone from what we're doing on ICE.
— Mr. Rajesh Jejurikar
Also, there could be the risk of fuel price increases.
— Mr. Chandru
There could be the risk of further product price increases the way commodity prices are moving.
— Mr. Chandru
You now get a 12-month impact of the refreshes, which now are at around 9 to 10,000 a month.
— Mr. Rajesh Jejurikar
So, there are multiple factors at force here and we need to be a little cautious about not widely taking price increases, which is why we are calibrating and we took 1.6.
— Mr. Rajesh Jejurikar
On the supply side, gas has been very difficult but has not caused any disruption.
— Dr. Anish Shah
So, for the first year, we were literally in that space saying that it's over the last 4-5 months that we're starting to see a much bigger impact of that.

Dr. Anish Shah
Welcome to the Quarter 4 analyst meet of Mahindra and Mahindra Limited. For the main presentation today, we have with us: • Dr. Anish Shah – Group CEO & MD • Mr. Rajesh Jejurikar - ED and CEO, Auto and Farm Business, • Mr. Amarjyoti Barua – Group CFO. We will take your questions after the presentation concludes. For the purpose of completeness, I do wish to read this out. Certain statements in this meeting with regard to our future growth projects are forward-looking statements, which involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in these forward-looking statements. With that, I now hand over to Dr. Shah for his opening remarks. Good afternoon. It's a pleasure having everyone here. Normally, I follow the principle that the better the results, the shorter the presentation, and you've seen that in the past. This time, we're actually going to go away from that principle. The results are, what I would at least consider as am
Mr. Rajesh Jejurikar
now. And 1,354 is a good number, which is setting us up well for the future. The farm margins, you've already taken a look at this. So, this is Quarter 4. Quarter 4 margins for core tractors were very strong at 20.4%. When you look at for the year, it was 20.8% core tractor margins. So again, as Anish said, very strong performance on margins on the tractor side. We show this chart to kind of say that our margins in tractors will operate within a band. There will be volatility on industry growth. And we do manage our margins within a band, typically of 18 to 21%, depending on what's happening to industry growth. So even when growths have been bad, we keep our margins at a level which is, you know, about 17.5, 18%. So, this is kind of giving you a historic view of that, and that's very relevant, I'm guessing, in the context of some of the questions or doubts you may have in your mind. We have two major product upgrades on the tractor side. You know, those of you who follow tractors close
Mr. Amarjyoti Barua
lot of questions on that, which we'll take. On the SUV side, we are expecting mid-to-high teens. For us, that's not for the industry. And on the LCV, less than 3.5 ton, it's high single digits. So, that's broadly our outlook. With that over to you, Amar. Thank you. Thank you, Rajesh. So, to sum up, for the 4th quarter, that was our revenue grew 29%. That was contributed, 32% of that came from auto, 32% growth in auto revenue. 26% in farm. We also had the Growth Gems grow 30%. And Mahindra Finance grew 14%. That translated to a PAT growth of, as you know, pretty strong PAT growth during the quarter. We've got a very large increase in PAT from auto of 49%. Farm grew 1%. That was basically weighed down by the exit of the foundry, where we have taken a 400-crore charge. So, that's a one-time charge that completes our exit of foundry. And that should be the last you'll hear of any foundry-related costs. We also had very strong performance from TechM, 20% up in PAT. And the Growth Gems were
Mr. Chandru
Sure, thanks. Thanks for taking my question. I have 3 questions. So, the first one is just around SUV growth guidance. So, this is the 3rd successive year that we are guiding to mid-to-high teens SUV growth. This is a different year. Back half of the year will be up against a pretty heavy base. Also, there could be the risk of fuel price increases. There could be the risk of further product price increases the way commodity prices are moving. So just want to understand what the building blocks are of the SUV growth guidance expectation for this year? The second one is just specific to supply chain, more specific on gas supplies and DRAMs. So, I think last quarter you'd mentioned that DRAMs, there was 3 to 4 months of visibility. I just want to understand how that's progressed through the quarter. And also, on gas, given that it's also a critical part of manufacturing, paint shops and so on, how sourcing on gas looks like for you? And the last bit just is around commodity price inflatio
Mr. Rajesh Jejurikar
openness to possibly pass some of that on in future quarters? I'll just pause there, thanks. Okay, so I'll just start with the first one at a higher level, and then Rajesh will take that and the other two as well. The confidence comes from the demand that we've seen for our products. The fact that our capacity also hasn't been at the level we wanted to, even in the last couple of years, there were times we could have actually grown a little faster. We have put capacity in place, as we've shared earlier, we're putting more capacity in place right now as well. And it's a combination of all of that that gives us a high degree of confidence around that same mid-to- high teen number. But I'll let Rajesh sort of go through some of the more detailed aspects of it. Yeah, let me try and bring this alive for you by talking a little bit more around product. So, I just mentioned that we are selling XUV7XO at around 7,000 a month. We're clearly seeing that supply constraint at 9.5, and it can go up
