Analyst Q&A
Q. On the strategic shift to monthly amendments for recoveries, have OEMs agreed and how does it impact margins?
That has not happened; only aluminium was agreed by OEMs. There was ~150 bps margin impact in Q1 from unrealized recoveries, expected to normalize in Q2. Full-year EBITDA margin guidance 10.5–11% remains intact.
Q. EV order book is only 12% of total; how does company plan to grow EV content given industry push?
Lighting is powertrain agnostic; EVs require more energy efficiency and light-weighting, so value creation per vehicle is larger. We already supply multiple EV models.
Q. Why has M&M revenue stayed flattish despite 40–50% wallet share?
It’s a product-mix effect — models where we were not present saw higher growth this quarter. Full-year revenue should align with M&M’s overall growth.
Q. Can we expect 10.5% EBITDA margin in Q2 given the recovery of realizations?
Margins in Q2 should be higher than Q1 and above 10%, but cannot confirm 10.5%. Full year guidance 10.5–11% maintained.
