Other Highlights

In Q1 FY22, Indian operations contributed 68% of Consolidated Total Income (including Other Income) and balance 32% came from European operations.

In Q1 FY22, Indian operations recorded Aftermarket sales of Rs 62.6 crore, as against Rs 16.9 crore in Q1 FY21.

Management commentary: Mr. Anurang Jain, Managing Director of the Company said: "Very few two-wheelers were sold by Indian OEMs in the lockdown affected Q1 of the last financial year. However, Q2, Q3 and Q4 had witnessed sales in excess of 5.4 million vehicles per quarter. In Q1 of this fiscal, the sale of two-wheelers again dropped to 3.54 million, due to a renewed wave of infections in the country. Against such market drop of 35% over the preceding quarter, Endurance's standalone top-line fell 28%. With gradual easing of restrictions on commercial activity and likely reopening of educational institutions, guick demand revival can be expected.

In Europe (European Union and United Kingdom), the new car registration data showed an improvement in Ql of this fiscal, against Q4 of the previous year. However, production of cars in markets such as Germany showed a decline. Our European operations recorded a marginal increase in Total Income, compared to the exit quarter.

We continue to win orders for supply of products to European four-wheeler OEMs, including sizeable orders for EV and hybrid applications. In India, we continue efforts to supply all four of our products to all major 2W3W OEMs. We have also made significant progress in winning aluminium casting orders for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and tractors, and for non-auto applications.

During the last year, we had taken major cost optimization actions by consolidating operations in Italy and offering voluntary separation to surplus manpower in Aurangabad. In May 2021, we have made our Chakan operations leaner by offering a voluntary separation scheme. Applications from 177 workmen under this scheme were accepted, leading to a one-time outgo of Rs. 314.5 million for the Company, and the same has been recorded as an exceptional item in this quarter's results. We have also commenced prodrlction of steel-braided brake hoses in June 2021, for ABS applications in mid and high end bikes. We take pride in being cost-competitive while delivering quality products to our customers. During the quarter, our factories in India and Europe did not face any government mandated lockdowns. The Company continues to take measures to ensure a safe workplace for its people."
