Motilal Oswal Report

Orient Electric Ltd.'s revenue grew 37% YoY and came in 19% above our estimate.

While the surge in commodity prices led to a 480 basis point YoY deterioration in gross margin, strong volume growth, led by operating leverage, cushioned the impact at the Ebitda margin level versus our expectation.

Ebitda grew 7% YoY and was 31% ahead of our expectation. Adjusted profit after tax grew by 7% and came in 46% ahead of our expectation.

Working capital stood elevated owing to higher inventory in anticipation of global supply chain shortages and possibility of a third Covid-19 wave.

Orient Electric's management expects working capital to normalise over the next two quarters.
