Yes Securities Report

Exide Industries Ltd.’s Q4 FY22 results were mixed where revenue outperformance continued with ~7% QoQ growth (versus flat growth expected).

However, Exide Industries' margins contracted steeply QoQ by ~140 basis points to 10.2% (our estimate: 10.6%, consensus: 11.6%), led by raw material inflation (gross margin contracted ~300 bps QoQ to lowest at 28%).

Sharp raw material inflation in the recent pat has overshadowed the tight cost control with aggregate other operating expense has declined ~170 bps/~80 bps in Q4/Q3.

We believe raw material cost inflation to continue impact gross margins as lead prices continues to rise ~3.5% so-far in Q1 FY23 (versus ~22% spike in FY22).
