Notably, the fall in the revenue was stemmed from the company’s diversification strategy of 3CX10, i.e. no country, customer, or component would be more than 10% in the company’s portfolio.
The company attributed the fall in its profitability and revenue to a sharp decrease in OEM production (Original Equipment Manufacturer). The OEM production fell considerably in key geographical areas due to supply chain constraints. These are yet to recover from the restriction put in place to contain Covid-19. There was also a reduction in the revenues of the SMRPBV, the Samvardhana Motherson Automotive Systems Group BV (a part of the Motherson Group), while the increased costs affect profitability.
The EBITDA for Motherson Sumi was recorded at Rs.162 crores which is a drastic fall of 72% YoY from Rs.586 crores reported in Q2 FY21. Even on a sequential basis, the EBITDA fell 68% from Rs.503 crores reported in the previous quarter of the current financial year.
