MUMBAI, November 12, 2021

Hindalco Industries Limited, the Aditya Birla Group metals flagship, reported its highest net profit in Q2 FY22, surpassing all previous quarterly performances. The Company's consolidated PAT surged 783% to ₹3,417 crore, a multifold rise of nearly nine times YoY.

The results were driven by an exceptional performance by Novelis and India Business, supported by favorable macros, strategic product mix, higher volumes, and stability in operations. Novelis continued to report a high quarterly EBITDA, as a result of an upswing in demand for innovative and sustainable aluminium products, high recycled contents and an outstanding operational performance despite challenges in the automotive segment due to the global semiconductor chip shortage impacting the automotive industry.

Commenting on the results, Mr. Satish Pai, Managing Director, Hindalco Industries, said:

Business Segment Performance in Q2 FY22 (vs Q2 FY21)

Novelis

Novelis recorded quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $553 million (vs $455 million), up 22% YoY, on the back of higher volumes, favourable product mix and metal benefits. Novelis achieved an Adjusted EBITDA per ton of $571 in Q2 FY22, compared to $493 in the prior year, an increase of 16% YoY.

Novelis' Net Income (excluding tax-effected special items) was $244 million, up 54% YoY, driven by higher Adjusted EBITDA. Revenue was $4.1 billion (vs $3.0 billion), up 38% YoY, due to higher shipments, global aluminium prices and market premiums. Total shipments of flat rolled products (FRPs) were at 968 Kt (vs 923 Kt), up 5% YoY, with strong demand across end-product markets particularly beverage packaging and specialty products, partially offset by continued headwinds in the automotive industry on account of the semiconductor chip shortage.

Aluminium India

EBITDA was at an all-time high of ₹3,247 crore in Q2 FY22, compared with ₹1,188 crore for Q2 FY21, an increase of 173% YoY, primarily due to favourable macros, improved product mix, higher volumes and better operational efficiencies. EBITDA margins reached more than a decade high of 42% and continue to be among the best in the industry. Revenue was ₹7,812 crore in Q2 FY22 vs ₹4,796 crore in the prior year period. Aluminium India Business recorded metal production of 322 Kt vs 307 Kt in the corresponding quarter. Aluminium metal sales were up 12% YoY at 338 Kt vs 303 Kt in the prior year. Aluminium VAP (excluding wire rods) sales volumes were at 86 Kt (vs 63 Kt), up 36% YoY, driven by a sharp recovery in the domestic market. VAP sales, as a percentage of total metal sales, were 25% this quarter vs 21% in the same quarter last year, in line with market recovery.

Copper

Both smelters ran optimally during the monsoon quarter. Copper Cathode production was at 100 Kt in Q2 FY22 (vs 73 Kt in Q2 FY21), higher by 38% YoY. While overall copper metal sales were at 110 Kt (vs 75 Kt in Q2 FY21), Copper Continuous Cast Rod (CCR) sales in Q2 FY21 were up 10% YoY, at 70 Kt (vs 64 Kt in Q2 FY21), driven by market recovery. EBITDA for the Business stood at ₹352 crore compared to ₹242 crore in Q2 FY21, up 45% YoY on the back of higher volumes, better operational efficiencies and improved by-product realisations. Revenue from the Copper Business was ₹9,587 crore this quarter, up 101% YoY, primarily due to higher global prices of copper.

Consolidated Results

Hindalco reported another record quarterly financial performance in Q2 FY22 with EBITDA at ₹8,048 crore (vs ₹5,171 crore), up 56% YoY. The record results were driven by an outstanding performance by Novelis as well as India business, supported by a sharp recovery in all relevant markets, and improved macros and higher volumes. Consolidated Revenue for the second quarter stood at ₹47,665 crore (vs ₹31,237 crore), up 53% YoY. Consolidated PAT in Q2 FY22 rose to ₹3,417 crore from ₹387 crore in Q2 FY21, a jump of 783% YoY.

  1. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, in line with the changes in the internal structure for reporting financial information to the entity's chief operating decision maker (CODM), the Group has changed its segment disclosure related to segment results for Aluminium and Copper segments in the consolidated financial results as per Ind AS 108 "Operating Segments". Corporate expenses and certain other items of income/expenses like (gain)/loss on disposals of property, plant and equipment (PPE), restructuring expenses, etc., which were previously included as a part of segment results of Aluminium and Copper segments are now excluded from segment results of these segments as these are not considered to be directly related to operations of Aluminium and Copper segments. There is no change in the measure of performance with respect to 'Novelis Segment' and 'All Other Segments'. The corresponding segment information of previous periods has been restated accordingly.

Due to above, segment results for "Aluminium Segment" and "Copper Segment" have increased with corresponding change in "Unallocable Income/ (Expense) (Net)" as under:
