Management Comments:
Mr. T V Narendran, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director:
“Tata Steel India delivered steady performance, with crude steel production of around 5 million tons. Domestic
deliveries were up 6% YoY, despite renewed volatility and seasonal factors during the quarter. Among the key
segments, Auto and Branded Products & Retail had best ever 2Q sales. We have started producing FHCR coils at
Kalinganagar CRM complex and have started receiving approvals from automotive OEMs for our cold rolled steel.
Our retail sales to home builders continue to grow aided by our strong distribution network. Tata Steel Aashiyana,
the e-commerce platform, services more than 10,000 unique customers per month. Moving to Sustainability, we
remain committed to Net Zero by 2045 and have calibrated the decarbonisation of steelmaking as per the operating
geography. In UK, we plan to invest in a state-of-the-art scrap based EAF with the government support and this will
enable reduction of 50 million tons of direct carbon emissions over a decade. In Netherlands, we will shortly be
submitting the detailed decarbonisation proposal to the Dutch government seeking regulatory and financial support.
In India, we are committed to responsible growth and are undertaking multiple initiatives ranging from scrap charging
in blast furnace to greening the power mix. We are entering into an agreement to secure 379 MW renewable power
for our India operations. I am happy to share that Tata Steel has received Safety and Health Excellence recognition
for 2023 by worldsteel.”

Mr. Koushik Chatterjee, Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer:


“Tata Steel Consolidated revenues for the quarter stood at Rs 55,682 crores and consolidated EBITDA stood at Rs
4,315 crores, which translates to an EBITDA margin of 8%. India business generated higher margin of around 20%
and EBITDA stood at Rs 6,841 crores. In Europe, margins moderated especially in UK business while Netherlands
business was broadly stable on QoQ basis. Revenue per ton was lower in both geographies. However, improved
costs in Netherlands led to broadly similar margins. Cash flow from operations before interest stood at Rs 4,658
crores driven by favourable working capital movement. Our capital expenditure was Rs 4,553 crores during the
quarter and Rs 8,642 crores for the half year. This is broadly in line with our annual guidance of ~Rs 16,000 crores
for FY2024 and we continue to prioritise completion of the 5 MTPA Kalinganagar expansion. Our Net debt stands at
Rs 77,032 crores and the group liquidity position remains strong at Rs 27,637 crores. During the quarter, Moody’s
upgraded our credit rating to investment grade. Given our plans to change the processed route for steelmaking, the
existing heavy end assets at TSUK will only be used for a defined period. Accordingly, we have taken an impairment
charge of Rs 12,560 crores in the standalone financial statements. We have also taken a charge of Rs 6,358 crores
in consolidated financial statements in relation to the UK business. We continue to remain focused on cost
optimisation, operational improvements and working capital management to maximise cashflows.”
