Summary

Reliance Industries results: RIL’s net profit surged to ₹18,951 crore in the January-March period in the financial year 2023-24, recording a 10% sequential jump, from ₹17,265 crore the conglomerate had posted in the preceding October-December quarter.

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) on Monday, April 22, declared record annual earnings on the back of robust performance in its core oil and petrochemicals business along with sustained growth in its consumer-oriented retail and telecom divisions.

RIL’s quarterly net profit surged to ₹18,951 crore in the January-March period of the financial year 2023-24, recording a 10% sequential jump, from ₹17,265 crore the conglomerate had posted in the preceding October-December quarter. RIL’s net profit in Q4FY23 was at ₹19,299 crore.

RIL’s revenue in the January-March quarter came in at ₹2.37 lakh crore, higher than ₹2.25 lakh crore it posted in Q3FY24 and ₹2.13 lakh crore in Q4FY23.

Reliance became the first Indian company to cross the ₹100,000-crore threshold in pre-tax profits. In FY24, Reliance also achieved the landmark of becoming the first Indian company to achieve a turnover of 10 lakh crore.

RIL’s EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) came in at ₹42,516 crore in Q4FY24, higher than ₹40,656 crore in the October-December quarter and ₹38,440 crore in the same quarter last year. RIL Margin came in at 18% in Q4FY24.

Oil-to-chemical (O2C) results: Margins at multi-quarter high

The O2C segment recorded an 11% jump in revenue on a year-on-year (YoY) basis to ₹1,42,634 crore in Q4FY24, supported by feedstock sourcing and strong domestic markets. RIL had reported a revenue of ₹1,28,633 crore in Q4FY23. RIL’s O2C business EBITDA surged 3% on a YoY basis to ₹16,777 crore in Q4FY24, compared to ₹14,064 crore the company had posted a year ago in the same quarter. Within the segment, Oil & Gas revenue came in at ₹6,468 crore in the January–March quarter.

Reliance Retail results: Double-digit revenue growth

Reliance Retail reported a 10.7% rise in revenue at ₹76,683 crore, up from ₹69,288 crore in the year-ago period. The earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) came in at ₹5,829 crore, an 18.4% jump from the year-ago period. Reliance Retail’s margin in the quarter improved to 7.6% on account of mix and operating leverage. For the full year, Reliance Retail business crosses ₹3 lakh crore topline.

Reliance Jio results: Industry-leading subscriber addition

Reliance Industries’ telecom arm Reliance Jio Infocomm saw its net profit rise 11% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹5,337 crore for the January to March 2024 quarter. This beats the CNBC-TV18 poll projection of ₹5,268 crore. Jio’s revenue for the March 2024 quarter came in at ₹25,959 crore, up 11% YoY from ₹23,394 crore.

Reliance Jio added 10.9 million subscribers during the quarter and an industry-leading subscriber addition of 42.4 million during FY2024. Reliance Jio’s ARPU (average revenue per user) came in at 181.7.

Reliance Industries declares dividend

Reliance Industries announced an interim dividend of ₹10 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2024.

Management Commentary

Commenting on the results, Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and MD, RIL said: “…All segments have posted a robust financial and operating performance. This has helped the Company achieve multiple milestones. I am happy to share that this year, Reliance became the first Indian company to cross the ₹100,000-crore threshold in pre-tax profits… With over 108 million True 5G customers, Jio truly leads the 5G transformation in India… Reliance Retail continued to provide customers endless choices through its robust omnichannel presence… Strong demand for fuels globally, and limited flexibility in refining system worldwide, supported margins and profitability of the O2C segment. Downstream chemical industry experienced increasingly challenging market conditions through the year. Despite headwinds, maintaining leading product positions and feedstock flexibility through our operating model that prioritises cost management, we delivered a resilient performance.”

Market experts reactions

Market expert Prakash Diwan said, “What’s interesting about these numbers is the EBITDA beat on the consolidated basis is actually come in from the O2C business, which started gearing up and performing over the last couple of quarters.”

Sharekhan’s Binod Modi said, “If I look at numbers on a consolidated level, it looks to be broadly inline with what one had anticipated. Talking specifically about O2C business, I think we have seen a sequential improvement in margin there and that was due to the fact that we saw sharp improvement in GRMs during the quarter as well as there was no maintenance shutdown. So these benefits were expected in this quarter.Retail business also did extremely well and I believe the margin improvement will continue to be on the cards with the kind of product mix changes we are seeing. So I’m really satisfied with the kind of performance that the company has delivered.”

Businesses have responsibility to build stronger, more inclusive India: Mukesh Ambani

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

“All of us collectively in the business community have a responsibility to build a stronger, better and more inclusive India to fulfil the vision and the goal that our PM has set for us, that of a Viksit Bharat, a fully developed India in the next decades,” Mukesh Ambani said.

Richest Indian Mukesh Ambani on Saturday (March 30) said the business community has the responsibility to build a stronger and more inclusive India.

Addressing an event organised by the Gems and Jewellery Exports Promotion (GJEPC) in Mumbai, the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries also exuded confidence that the industry will reach its goal of touching $100 billion in exports in the next few decades.

“All of us collectively in the business community have a responsibility to build a stronger, better and more inclusive India to fulfil the vision and the goal that our PM has set for us, that of a Viksit Bharat, a fully developed India in the next decades,” he said.

Ambani congratulated the gems and diamonds industry for the work they have done over the past few decades to reach $40 billion in exports and create over 50 lakh jobs in the country. From modest beginnings, the industry led by people from Palanpur made big strides, Ambani said, stressing that he is “proud” of the work.

He said the Ambani family has its roots in Kathiawad and also hinted at the possibilities of working together with the Palanpuris. “Sometimes partnership between the Kathaiwadis and Palanpuris can make the opportunity bigger. The bigger the pie, the better for us,” he said.

Ambani also said that his daughter-in-law Shloka Mehta is the daughter of Russel Mehta of Rosyblue, among the pioneering companies in the sector, and added that the Ambani family is “fortunate” to have Shloka, who “radiates warmth and wisdom”.

Mehta was awarded the Lifetime Achievement award at the event, which was also attended by Maharashtra Governor Ramesh Bais.

Reliance Industries shares near record high after Goldman Sachs bull case sees 54% upside

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

 Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Summary

Goldman Sachs still finds RIL’s risk-reward to be favourable and also factors in value accretion from the Reliance-Disney JV, while raising its price target.

Shares of Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd. may see a potential upside of as much as 54%, according to brokerage firm Goldman Sachs’ bull case scenario estimates for the financial year 2026. Based on the bull case estimate, Goldman Sachs expects the Nifty 50 heavyweight’s share price to reach ₹4,495 by the financial year 2026.

On a base case, Goldman Sachs maintains a “buy” recommendation on Reliance Industries and has raised its price target on the stock to ₹3,400 from ₹2,925. This revised price target implies a potential upside of 17% from Tuesday’s closing price.

Despite this increase, Goldman Sachs still views RIL’s risk-reward ratio favourably and considers the value accretion from the Reliance-Disney joint venture in its analysis.

Goldman Sachs anticipates a turning point in Reliance Industries’ consolidated returns by the financial year 2024, with its Cash Return on Cash Invested (CROCI) projected to expand by approximately 270 basis points to 12% by the financial year 2027, the highest since 2011.

Over the past decade, Reliance Industries has invested over $125 billion in capital expenditure, primarily in hydrocarbon and telecom sectors, typically requiring significant capital outlay and longer gestation periods exceeding five years. However, Goldman Sachs notes that the company’s focus on new businesses such as Retail and New Energy over the next three years is less capital-intensive and offers higher returns with shorter gestation periods.

Goldman Sachs forecasts that Reliance Retail’s Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) will nearly double between the financial years 2024 and 2027, with the share of consolidated EBITDA rising to 14.3% in the financial year 2027 from 12.4% in the financial year 2023.

Additionally, for the New Energy vertical, Goldman expects positive EBITDA contribution to commence from the financial year 2025 and reach $2.3 billion by the financial year 2030.

On a consolidated basis, Goldman Sachs expects RIL’s free cash flow, which has largely remained negative due to the elevated capex, to turn positive in financial year 2025 with capex likely peaking out in the previous financial year, while EBITDA may expand by 20% year-on-year led by a telecom tariff hike, higher retail same-store sales growth and a recovery in chemical margins.

The brokerage expects a 17% EBITDA CAGR between financial year 2024 – 2027 driven by:

  • Retail EBITDA nearly doubling during this period
  • A 22% EBITDA CAGR in the telecom business, driven by higher telecom ARPU
  • The continued shift of consumers to smartphones and strong traction in fixed broadband
  • Petchem margin recovery driven by global demand and lower feedstock prices
  • Sustained strength in diesel cracks due to limited global spare capacity compounding with Opex reduction

Reliance Industries shares tend to outperform the Indian market during two scenarios, according to Goldman Sachs: One being expanding returns and two being valuation discovery through stake sales in newer businesses.

“Over the last two years, both these drivers were largely absent, potentially driving the shares’ underperformance. We expect rising returns ahead which could compound with further potential value unlock through potential listings of consumer businesses,” the note said.

Last week, brokerage firm UBS had also increased its price target on Reliance Industries to ₹3,400 from ₹3,000 earlier. This ₹3,400 price target is the highest for Reliance Industries on the street.

Shares of Reliance Industries are up 3.5% on Wednesday and are trading near their all-time high of ₹3,024. The stock is also the top contributor to the Nifty 50 gains.

My grandfather will be blessing me. My Nani is a Nagar Brahmin and she has taught me a lot. I have stayed mostly with my Nani when I was young. She taught me everything. And I have Radhika’s Nani here, her nana is blessing us from heaven. My nana also is blessing us from above. They are going to be extremely happy.”

Anant then went on to talk about Vantara. “Over the next two days you are all going to see a glimpse of Vantara. I hope it is as magical for all of you as it has been for me. Vanatra has been my passion for the last many years. We started the first rescue center I think in 2008 and its been only possible because of my parents and my family’s support. My mother and my father have always taught me to serve, and this was my giving back to society. I started off small and as my grandfather said, dare to dream, I dreamt and turned it into reality. I don’t want to talk much about it. I want you all to experience it.”
