Mumbai, August 10, 2010:

The Tata Motors Group today reported consolidated revenues (net of excise) of LOGO 27,055.57 crores, posting a growth of 64.2% over LOGO 16,472.97 crores in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, with strong volume growth globally in all major markets. The Consolidated Profit before Tax (PBT) (post minority interest and profit in respect of Associate companies) for the quarter was LOGO 2,275.44 crores, compared to a Loss before Tax of LOGO 269.86 crores for the corresponding quarter last year. The Consolidated Profit after Tax (PAT) for the quarter was LOGO 1,988.73 crores, a significant turnaround from a loss of LOGO 328.78 crores in the corresponding quarter last year.

Tata Motors has reported a Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) of LOGO 34.80 in Q1 FY2010-11 for its consolidated operations as against a Loss Per Share of LOGO 6.40 in Q1 FY2009-10.

Tata Motors Stand-Alone Financial Results for the Quarter ended June 30, 2010

Tata Motors gross revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, was LOGO 11,296.80 crores (quarter ended June 30, 2009: LOGO 6,930.43).

Revenues (net of excise) of LOGO 10,416.26 crores, represented a growth of 62.7% over LOGO 6,404.02 crores in the corresponding quarter last year. Volume growth, cost efficiencies and better realisations have led to a double digit operating margin of 11.28%, resulting in an Operating Profit (EBITDA) of LOGO 1,174.67 crores in the quarter (quarter ended June 30, 2009: LOGO 728.00 crores). The PBT for the quarter is LOGO 537.65 crores (quarter ended June 30, 2009: LOGO 548.04 crores, which included profit of LOGO 318.94 crores on sale of investments, which were not liable to tax) The PAT for the quarter is LOGO 395.72 crores (quarter ended June 30, 2009: LOGO 513.76 crores).

Overall economic growth, robust IIP and availability of liquidity led to robust domestic demand during the quarter, resulting in volume growth comprising both new products and the existing portfolio. In the domestic market, the company’s commercial vehicles sales increased by 38.7% to 100,186 units. The growth was mainly supported by medium and heavy commercial vehicles which grew by 62.4% year-on-year. The company’s market share in commercial vehicles was 61%.

Passenger vehicles, including Fiat and Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles distributed in India, grew by 56.0% in the domestic market to 77,858 units driven by continued overwhelming response to the Tata Indigo Manza, the Tata Indica Vista and the Tata Nano. The market share for Tata passenger vehicles for the period stood at 13.3% as compared to 11.2% in Q1 FY2009-10. Driven by the Manza, the company’s market share in the entry-midsize segment has increased substantially to 39.5% compared to 25.2% in Q1 FY2009-10.

Subsidiary Highlights

The Jaguar Land Rover business continued to show strong profitability, with increase in volumes coupled with significantly favourable currency movement in Q1 FY2010-11, reporting a Profit before Tax of GBP 233.82 million ( LOGO 1,590.25 crores). With the positive market reception of the enhanced product range in an improved market environment as well as continued cost reduction efforts, the business was able to show sustained quarter on quarter improvement towards solid profitability in the quarter.

Wholesale volumes for Jaguar Land Rover in Q1 FY2010-11 were 57,153 units compared to 35,947 units in Q1 FY2009-10. Its retail sales too improved favourably in the quarter, on the back of continued overwhelming response for Land Rover products and the newly launched XJ. There was a strong recovery across all the regions, with China standing out registering a growth of 104%.

Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company Limited registered a 20.9% growth in sales in the quarter. Tata Motors Finance Limited, the company’s captive financing subsidiary, reported a net profit of LOGO 23.52 crores and improved its NPA performance through better collection efficiency.

AUDITORS’ REPORT

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

TATA MOTORS LIMITED

 

1. We have reviewed the accompanying statement of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results (“the Statement”) of TATA MOTORS LIMITED (“the Company”), its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities (the Company, its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities constitute “the Group”) and its share of the profit of the associate companies for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. This Statement is the responsibility of the Company’s Management and has been approved by the Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial results based on our review.

 

2. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an opinion.

The figures shown in the column “Quarter ended June 30, 2009, (Unaudited)” in the Statement have not been reviewed by us.

 

3.    (a)    Attention is invited to Note 5 in the Statement. As stated in the note, the actuarial losses (net) amounting to Rs. 95.66 crores for the quarter have been accounted in “Reserves and Surplus” in respect of a group of subsidiary companies.

 

  (b) The Statement reflects the Group’s share of Revenues of Rs. 16,266.08 crores and Profit after tax (net) of Rs.1,572.50 crores relating to subsidiaries whose results have been reviewed by other auditors and whose reports have been considered by us in submitting our report.

 

  (c) The financial results of seven subsidiaries and a joint venture which reflect the Group’s share of revenues of Rs. 344.50 crores and the Group’s share of Loss after tax (net) of Rs. 19.10 crores and the financial results of four associates which reflect the Group’s share of Profit after tax (net) of Rs. 13.80 crores have not been reviewed by their auditors.

 

4. Based on our review and read with our comments in paragraph 3(a) above and subject to our comments in paragraph 3(c) above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards referred to in Section 211 (3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 and other recognised accounting practices and policies, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Clause 41 of the Listing Agreements with the stock exchanges, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

 

5. Further, we also report that we have traced the number of shares as well as the percentage of shareholding in respect of the aggregate amount of public shareholding and the number of shares as well as the percentage of shares pledged/encumbered and non-encumbered in respect of the aggregate amount of promoter and promoter group shareholding in terms of Clause 35 of the Listing Agreements and the particulars relating to the undisputed investor complaints, from the details furnished by the Management.

Notes:

 

1) Figures for previous period have been regrouped / reclassified wherever necessary, to make them comparable.
2) Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 includes profit (net) of LOGO 14.32 crores ( LOGO 319.44 crores for the quarter ended June 30, 2009) on sale of investments.
3) In October 2008, the Company decided to move the Nano project from Singur in West Bengal to Sanand in Gujarat, where commercial production commenced in this quarter. Based on management's assessment, presently no provision is considered necessary to the carrying cost of building at Singur.
4) The tax expense is not comparable with the profit before tax, since it is consolidated on a line-by-line addition for each subsidiary company and no tax effect is recorded in respect of consolidation adjustments. This accounting treatment is as per accounting standard AS-21. Further, the tax expense is lower due to set off of carry forward losses of certain subsidiary companies.
5) The actuarial losses (net) of LOGO 95.66 crores for quarter ended June 30, 2010 ( LOGO 361.78 crores (gain) for the quarter ended June 30, 2009) of pension plans of Jaguar Cars Ltd and Land Rover, UK, have been accounted in “Reserves and Surplus” in accordance with IFRS principles and permitted by AS 21 in the consolidated financial statements. This treatment is consistent with the accounting principles followed by Jaguar Cars Ltd and Land Rover, UK, under IFRS.
6) Automotive operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries represents the reportable segment, rest are classified as ‘Others’.

Automotive segment consists of all types of commercial and passenger vehicles including financing of the vehicles sold by the Company. Others primarily include construction equipment, engineering solutions and software operations.
