Limited review report on unaudited quarterly standalone financial results and standalone year-todate financial results of Exide Industries Limited pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosures Requirements) Regulations, 2015 ('Listing Regulations')
To Board of Directors of Exide Industries Limited
-
- We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of unaudited standalone financial results of Exide Industries Limited ("the Company") for the quarter ended 30 September 2021 and year to date results for the period from 01 April 2021 to 30 September 2021 ("the Statement").
-
- This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's management and approved by the Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting' ("Ind AS 34"), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the Statement based on our review.
-
- 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 audit opinion.
-
- Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards an.d other recognised accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.

- 1l1e Board of Directors of the Holding Company in their meeting held on September 3, 2021 , and the members of the Holding Company, in the Extraordinary General Meeting held on September 29, 2021 , have approved divestment of entire equity shareholding held by the Holding Company in Exide Life lnsurance Company Limited (ELIC), a material wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company, in favour of HDFC Life Insurance Company Limited (HLIC), for an aggregate consideration of INR 6,687 Crores (Indian Rupees Six Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty-Seven Crores), subject to necessacy approvals from relevant regulatory/governmental authorities.
The Board of Directors of HLIC, in its meeting held on September 3, 2021, and the members of the HLIC, in the Extraordinary General Meeting held on September 29, 2021, have accorded their approval for acquisition of entire equity shareholding of ELIC, subject to requisite regulatory approvals.
Pending such regulatory approvals and completion of the sale transaction, the Holding Company has not considered any impact of the proposed sale of its shareholding in ELIC in the accompanying unaudited financial results.
-
- The Group has assessed the impact ofCOVID-19 on the operations as well as tl1e financial results of Exide Life lnsurance Company Limited (ELIC), a subsidiary, including but not limited to the areas of valuation of investment assets, valuation of policy liabilities and solvency, for the quarter and period ended September 30, 2021, based on inputs currently available with ELIC. The extent to which COVID-19 pandemic will affect ELlC's performance particularly in the areas of revenue, claims, canying value of investments, solvency margin etc. will depend on future developments, which are presently uncertain.

Commenting on the Q2FY22 performance - Mr. Subir Chakraborty, MD & CEO, said
'The company has delivered strong growth with sales growing at 20% in the second quarter of the current financial year. Both the Automotive and the Industrial SB Us are seeing demand recovery compared to the same quarter previous year and to the previous quarter of the current year. However, gross profit increase was restricted due to unprecedented cost inflation of inputs.
Exide has taken multiple initiatives in the pastfew quarters which should drive sales and help improve performance. Currently, as an ongoing focus area, sales transformation and cost compression remain the core strategies to improve efficiencies within the company.
Further, as a responsible corporate, Exide is committed to drive positive change in the society and we are constantly taking steps in that direction. In the current challenging times, we have focused on ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees, customers and business partners. During the pandemic, we have initiated multiple COV/0-19 relief projects to provide requisite healthcare and nutrition to the weaker sections of the society'.
