Hindustan Zinc
Robust performance
Hindustan Zinc net sales increased 8.16% to Rs 6,122 crore in Q2FY22 compared to Q2FY21 led by higher zinc & lead LME prices & higher premiums as well as higher silver prices partly offset by lower metal & silver volumes. Over the year, zinc & lead LME prices were up 28% & 25% respectively. Sequentially revenue decreased 6%, primarily due to lower metal & silver volumes and lower silver prices partly offset by higher zinc & lead LME prices & higher premiums. Zinc sales volume decreased 12% q-o-q and lead by 4% q-o-q in line with lower production.

Zinc cost of production before royalty (COP) was Rs 83,208 per tonne for the quarter, higher by 22% y-o-y and 5% sequentially. H1FY22 COP was Rs 80,991 per tonne, up 13.6% y-o-y (12.1% in rupee terms). The COP has been affected by input commodity price increase (coal, diesel, met coke etc.) and higher revenue mine development partially offset by benefits from operational efficiencies and better recoveries. Sequentially, maintenance shutdown & lower metal volumes also weighed on the cost of production.

Operating profit margin has jumped from 52.16% to 54.48%, leading to 12.97% rise in operating profit to Rs 3,335 crore.  Rise was primarily due to higher zinc & lead LME prices, higher premiums as well as higher silver prices. Employee cost decreased from 3.01% to 2.62%.   Other expenses rose from 43.49% to 45.38%.   Selling and administration expenses rose from 12.20% to 12.97%.   Power and Oil fuel cost fell from 7.88% to 7.81%.  

Other income fell 20.26% to Rs 311 crore.  PBIDT rose 9.10% to Rs 3646 crore.  Provision for interest up 20.59% to Rs 82 crore.  PBDT rose 8.86% to Rs 3564 crore.  Provision for depreciation rose 7.67% to Rs 702 crore.  Profit before tax grew 9.15% to Rs 2,862 crore.  Provision for tax was expense of Rs 845 crore, compared to Rs 682 crore.  Effective tax rate was 29.52% compared to 26.01%.

Profit after tax rose 3.97% to Rs 2,017 crore mainly driven by recovery in metal prices and lower effective tax sequentially.

Promoters’ stake was 64.92% as of 30 September 2021 ,compared to 64.92% as of 30 September 2020 .  Promoters pledged stake was 22.83% as of 30 September 2021 ,compared to 22.83% as of 30 September 2020 . 

Commenting on the performance, Mr Arun Misra, CEO, said: “We delivered record high H1 mined metal production and mine development since transition to underground mining operations. With effective systems & planning, teams at Hindustan Zinc have strengthened the backbone of our operations setting the stage right for us to deliver one million production mark. We are also progressing well on our ESG journey and have committed to Net zero emissions by 2050. Hindustan Zinc has also joined the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosure (TNFD) to tackle nature-related risks proactively. We are proud and look forward to participate in British High Commission Conference of the Parties (COP26).”

Mr Sandeep Modi, Interim CFO, said: “We delivered ever-highest H1 EBITDA despite operational challenges and external headwinds from ongoing global energy crisis. We believe that with operational challenges behind us, we have reset the system for a robust delivery in the future. We remain committed to protect our margins, generate robust free cash flow & invest in sustainability, all of which together will help us to create & deliver long lasting value for our shareholders.”

Operational Performance

Ore: Total ore production for the quarter was up 2.6% y-o-y to 3.99 million tonne, led by strong growth in Zawar and Sindesar Khurd (SK) mines partially offset by lower production at Kayad and Rajpura Dariba (RD) mines. Ore production at Rampura Agucha mine remained flat y-o-y. On a sequential basis, ore production was up 10.3% primarily driven by exceptional performance at SK and Kayad mine with strong performances from Rajpura Dariba, Zawar and Rampura Agucha mines. For the six-months period, ore production witnessed a growth of 8.1% y-o-y to 7.6 million tonne. Higher production from Rampura Agucha, Zawar and Rajpura Dariba were partially offset by lower ore production at Kayad mines.

Metal-In-Concentrate (MIC):  Total MIC production for the quarter at 248kt, up 4.4% y-o-y on account of higher ore treatment at Rampura Agucha, Zawar and Rajpura Dariba mines supported by improvement in recovery, which has been partly offset by lower grades. Sequentially, mined metal production grew by 12.3% mainly due to higher ore treatment at Sindesar Khurd, Rampura Agucha & Kayad mine and improvement in mining grades & recovery. Overall H1 FY22 MIC production was 470kt up 7% y-o-y in line with higher ore treatment at Rampura Agucha, Zawar mines & Rajpura Dariba mine and increased recovery, offset by a slight dip in overall grades.

Integrated silver production was 152 tonne, down 25% y-o-y in line with lead production & depletion of WIP in Q2 FY21 & down 5% as compared to Q1 FY22. H1 FY22 metal production was 445kt, up 2% as compared to H1 FY21 in line with Roaster availability, while silver production was 2% lower y-o-y to 313 tonne.
