Tata Engineeering returns to profits in Quarter IV
Full year loss reduced dramatically

Quarter IV

Tata Engineering announced the results of performance for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, with a Profit Before Tax of Rs.106 crores, as against a Loss Before Tax of Rs.146 crores in the same period last year. The profit for the quarter represents a significant turnaround in the performance after seven quarters of loss. Revenues increased by 17% to Rs.3065 crores in the quarter, as compared to Rs.2619 crores in the same period last year. The Company also achieved further gains in market share in both commercial vehicles and passenger cars. The Indica project, in particular continued to improve in volumes and market share accompanied by a significant increase in the profitability of its operations.

2001-02

The Company’s revenues for the year ended March 31, 2002 improved by 9% to Rs.8918 crores, as compared to Rs.8164 crores in 2000-01. The Company continued its aggressive thrust in several areas such as cost reduction of Rs.332 crores, market share gains and prudent fiscal management, all of which enabled the Company to improve the Operating Profit to Rs.740 crores, an increase of 80% over Rs.411 crores in 2000-01. Operating margins improved to 8% in 2001-02 from 5% in 2000-01. As a result, the Loss after tax came down significantly to Rs.54 crores as against the Loss of Rs.500 crores in the previous year.

In the backdrop of a sluggish year for the Indian economy and the automobile industry, notable achievements by the Company were:

– Market share in the medium and heavy commercial segment increased to 68% with market share in the truck segment rising to 72%. Both were a 4-year record achieved in a market, which declined an overall 3%.

– The Indica V2 broke the record in the ‘B’ segment to remain the largest selling model in its segment for the last nine months of the year. Indica’s market share increased to 23% in its segment. In the passenger vehicle industry as a whole, the Company became the second largest player. The Indica operations generated a cash profit for the year in the third year of operation, with volumes of over 64,000 units.

– The Company set off an amount of Rs.1179 crores, mostly carried forward in the Balance Sheet as Deferred Revenue Expenditure, against its Securities Premium Account to reflect more appropriately its future operational performance. The proposal was approved by the shareholders and debenture holders and confirmed by the Bombay High Court subsequently.

In view of the Loss for the year, the Directors have not recommended a dividend.

The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held on July 26, 2002 to consider the accounts of FY 2001-02.
