Note:

Excluding the impact of divestment and exceptional items, the company’s performance underscores the strength of its core businesses, driven by sustained operational excellence and continued momentum.

Risk Analysis

Summary:

• While the company delivered strong Q1 performance, risks include commodity inflation, margin pressure, and competition.

Key Risks:

• Commodity inflation pressures impacting EBIT margins (Agri Machinery margin down 180 bps YoY).
• Construction Equipment margin pressure (down 40 bps YoY; sharp decline from 12.7% in Q4 FY26 to 5.4% in Q1 FY27).
• Intense competition in tractor and construction equipment segments.
• Monsoon variability affecting agricultural demand and tractor sales.
• Macroeconomic factors impacting construction and infrastructure spending.
• Regulatory changes in emission norms or subsidy policies.

Worst Case:

• Sustained commodity inflation combined with weaker-than-expected monsoon or slowdown in infrastructure spending could impact margins and sales momentum.

Risk Level: Medium
