With this I would now like to hand over the call to Mr. Aakash Minda to discuss the financial and the operational performance of the company during the quarter and financial year 2022.

Aakash Minda: Thank you, sir. Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I now request you look at the slides which have been uploaded for the quarterly and the annual earnings call. Refering page-3, I would like to state the highllights of Q4 and financial year FY2022 perforrmance. Our focus is enhjancing the core and deepening capability. For the Q4 the revenue growth of the quarter continues to out perform the industry performance, we have improved double digit EBITDA margins for the straight quarter on sequencial basis. Total life time order book booked in the Q4 is being Rs.14500 million.Eight pages have been filed during the quarter and we have been granteed PLI application.

Total life time order book in the year was INR 59300 million. 28 patents have been filed in the year and 4 partnerships have been endorsed in this financial year for technology advancement.

I would like to ow move to the next slide which is slide-4, which shows the consistant and sustainable market leading profitable growth which is the focus of Minda Corporation.

manufacturing locations and R&D capabilitesacross various divisioins. I would like share that over the last one year we have increased our number of shareholder from 49200 to 83653 and the shareholding is on the right track.

I would now move to the next slide which is the revenue break up for the financial year. If you look at by geography this is on year-on-year, India contributes majority to about 84%, exports of Europe and North America contribute to about 10% and South East Asia where our plants contribute to about 5.5%. But end market our two-wheeler is about 48%, passenger vehicle is about 17%, commercial vehicle is about 18% and after market is about 15%. By business verticals Mecatronics and after market is about 55 to 56% and information and connecting system is about 43.3%.

I now mover to the next slide which is on the industry performance: If I look at the financial year 2022 growth the industry had muted growth of about only 1.2% and if I look at Q4 which is on quarter-on-quarter then industry de-grew by about 15.6%. There were of couse supply chain issues globally, global macro economic issues, subdued sentiments all across India and infrastructure spending and other replacement demands seem to have also factored in terms of growth. We remain cautiously optimisitic about the Indian auto industry due to the low penatration and rising income but they are also aware of this uncertainties which will have impact on the automotive demand and supply.

I now move to the slide-8 which is on the consolidated performance: Our focus is on continued momentum of growth and out performing quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year. The company consolidated net revenue for the Q4 stood at Rs.947 Crores at EBITDA 11.4% at Rs.107.7 Crores. The numbers are including Minda Instruments Limited. I request you to look at the first column on the left, if I compare this from Q3 to Q4 the growth was about 28.4% in top lline whereas the industry only grew by 2%. Our EBITDA has grown from Rs.78.7 Crores to Rs.107 Crores from 10.7% margin to 11.4% margin. Our PBT has increased from 6.7% to 7.6%, if I compare year-on-year growth Rs.794 Crores is now translated into Rs.947 Crores which is a growth of 20%. EBITDA margin has grown from 11.2% to 11.4%, if I look at our numbers without Minda Instruments then year-on-year Rs.794 Crores has grown to Rs.800 Crores and 89 EBITDA has gone to 88 EBITDA. IF I look at for the full year on the right side, including Minda Instruments Limited we did about Rs.2975 Crores with 9% or 10% EBITDA at Rs.294 Crores and 6.1% PBT margins and PAT margin 6.4%. If I compare to the FY2021 then we have a growth of about 25.7% and our EBITDA margin has grown by 73 basis points from 9.2% to 9.9% from Rs.217 Crores EBITDA to Rs.294 Crores EBITDA and PAT has increase from 93 to 191, there are some exceptional items which I will explain.
