Commenting on the results, Mr. Satish Pai, Managing Director, Hindalco Industries Ltd.,
said, "This quarter we delivered record-breaking financial results despite the impact of the Covid
second wave. Our robust financial performance, accelerated pace of deleveraging and the
increasing strength of our balance sheet has been recognised by the market and is reflected in
credit rating upgrades for both Novelis and Hindalco.
The improvement is visible across all our business segments where we are seeing strong demand,
plants running at capacity, and better margins. We continue to keep employees protected and de
risk plant facilities by taking all Covid-appropriate measures. We have started FY22 at a strong
pace and we are confident that our resilience against market swings will support us in continuing
to deliver our best. More importantly, we believe our focus on setting and achieving carbon
neutrality and other ESG goals will keep Hindalco in the leadership position as the world's most
sustainable aluminium value-added player."

Table: Consolidated Financial Highlights for the Quarter ended June 30, 2021 (₹ Crore)

Business Segment Performance in Q1 FY22 (vs Q1 FY21)

Novelis

Novelis recorded its best-ever quarterly Adjusted EBITDA of \$555 million (vs \$253 million), up 119% YoY, on the back of higher volumes, favourable product mix and metal benefits, and a \$47 million gain related to a favourable decision in a Brazilian tax litigation.

Novelis achieved an Adjusted EBITDA per ton of \$570 in Q1 FY22, compared to \$327 in the prior year, an increase of 75% YoY. Excluding the non-recurring tax litigation benefit, Adjusted EBITDA per ton equates to \$522 in the first quarter of FY22.

Novelis' Net Income (excluding tax-effected special items) was \$260 million, up 1082% YoY, driven by higher Adjusted EBITDA. Revenue was \$3.9 billion (vs \$2.4 billion), up 59% YoY, due to higher shipments, global aluminium prices and market premiums. Total shipments of flat rolled products (FRPs) were at 973 Kt (vs 774 Kt), up 26% YoY, with strong demand across end-product markets particularly beverage packaging and specialty products, partially offset by some headwinds in the automotive industry on account of the semiconductor chip shortage.

Aluminium India

EBITDA was at an all-time high of ₹2,352 crore in Q1 FY22, compared with ₹973 crore for Q1 FY21, an increase of 142% YoY, primarily due to favourable macros, improved product mix and better operational efficiencies. EBITDA margins reached a 13-year high of 37.5% and continue to be among the best in the industry. Revenue was ₹6,267 crore in Q1 FY22 vs ₹4,436 crore in the prior year period. Aluminium India Business recorded metal production of 319 Kt vs 291 Kt in the corresponding period. Aluminium metal sales were flat YoY at 303 Kt. Aluminium VAP (excluding wire rods) sales volumes were at 82 Kt (vs 35 Kt), up 137% YoY, driven by a sharp recovery in the domestic market. VAP sales, as a percentage of total metal sales, were 27% this quarter vs 11% in the same quarter last year, in line with market recovery.

Copper

Successful ramp-up of Smelter-3, post shutdown in Q1 FY22. Copper Cathode production was at 63 Kt in Q1 FY22 (vs 41 Kt in Q1 FY21), higher by 52% YoY. While overall copper metal sales were at 80 Kt (vs 58 Kt in Q1 FY21), Copper Continuous Cast Rod (CCR) sales in Q1 FY21 were up 50%, at 46 Kt (vs 31 Kt in Q1 FY21), driven by market recovery. EBITDA for the Business stood at ₹261 crore compared to ₹66 crore in Q1 FY21, up 295% YoY. Revenue from the Copper Business was ₹7,094 crore this quarter, up 134% YoY, primarily due to higher global prices of copper.

Consolidated Results

Hindalco reported another best-ever quarterly financial performance in Q1 FY22 with EBITDA at ₹6,790 crore (vs ₹2,359 crore), up 188% 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. Consolidated Revenue for the first quarter stood at ₹41,358 crore (vs ₹25,283 crore), up 64% YoY. Consolidated PAT in Q1 FY22 was ₹2,787 crore, compared to a loss of ₹(709) crore in Q1 FY21, a jump of 493% YoY. Gross Debt declined by ₹16,345 crore and Net Debt fell by ₹10,389 crore as of June 30, 2021 from its peak on June 30, 2020. Consolidated Net Debt to EBITDA ratio improved further to 2.36x on June 30, 2021, from a peak of 3.83x on June 30, 2020.

Covid Response

Hindalco has prepared to tackle the third wave of Covid by fortifying its efforts to protect employees and the community.

Over 51,000 employees have been vaccinated with at least one dose. In some states, the Government is collaborating with Hindalco to vaccinate the local population at the Company's own hospitals and health centres. Hindalco's dedicated team of 77 doctors and 245 paramedics is working round the clock to serve employees and the community.

Hindalco has boosted medical infrastructure and equipped its own hospitals and health centres with critical care equipment such as CT scan machines, set up oxygen lines in remote locations to serve patients needing ICU care, and enhanced its lab testing facilities. Hindalco has strengthened its medical teams, including adding pediatricians, and upskilling its paramedics.

Economy & Industry Updates Global & Domestic

Economy Updates

  • Global growth is gradually recovering supported by large scale fiscal support and easing of pandemic restrictions
  • However, recovery is uneven and being held back by resurgence of Covid cases, slow vaccination progress and limited policy progress specially in EM
  • GDP growth contracted 3.2 % in CY20 and is expected to rebound to 6.0% in CY21 and 4.9% in CY22 (Source : IMF, July 2021)
  • Risks future path of pandemic, rising government debts, higher global inflation and slow pace of vaccine administration in EM

  • India's economic recovery was interrupted by the second wave. Extent of economic damage likely to be lesser than the first wave
  • Tapering of second wave, push in vaccination roll-out, pent up demand and easing of restrictions will drive economic momentum going forward
  • The RBI estimates FY22 GDP growth at 9.5%, after a contraction of 7.3% in FY21. IMF latest forecasts for FY22 are also on similar lines
  • Adverse supply shocks and rise in oil prices have also intensified upside risks to inflation which RBI is closely watching
  • Downside risks- rising inflation, probable 3 rd wave of Covid and fiscal constraints

Global Aluminium Industry

H1 CY21 (vs H1 CY20)

  • Global production grew by 6%, consumption increased by 14%, leading to deficit of 0.1 Mt
  • China: Production increased by 9%, consumption grew by 12%, leading to deficit of 0.3 Mt
  • World Ex-China: Production was up by 3%, consumption rose by 18%, reducing the surplus to 0.2 Mt

Q2 CY21 (vs Q2 CY20)

  • Global production expanded by 7%, consumption grew by 12%, leading to overall deficit of 0.6 Mt
  • China: Production rose by 9%, while consumption increased by 1%, leading to a deficit of 0.9 Mt
  • World Ex-China: Production grew by 4%, consumption improved by 33%, leading to surplus of 0.3 Mt

Global aluminium prices continued to improve

  • Q2 CY21 prices improved to \$2,399/t up from \$2,096 in Q1 CY21.
  • Global aluminium prices in QTD (Q2CY21) is \$2,487/ton

Domestic Aluminium Industry

  • In Q1 FY22, domestic demand is estimated to record 884 Kt (54% growth YoY) due to base effect; this demand is estimated to drop by 18% sequentially.
  • In Q1FY22, lockdowns in the country, due to the second wave of Covid has impacted demand of automotive, which has subsequently led to a decline of imports of casting scrap in this quarter by around 10% sequentially

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 "Unailocable income/ (Expense) (Net)" as under:

Particulars Crore
Q1 FY22 Q4 FY21 Q1 FY21 FY21
