Our performance in Q4 and FY22 underscores the resilience of our business model. Despite significant challenges due to various factors like Covid, commodity prices, semiconductor shortages and the Ukraine conflict, we have delivered strong results at the consolidated level. All of our group companies are well positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities, said Anish Shah, Managing Director & CEO, M&M. The company recorded its highest revenue for the auto and farm segment in FY22. M&M became No.1 in SUV revenue market share in Q4 and in the second half of FY22, while FES gained 180 basis points market share in FY22, said Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director, M&M.
With over 170k bookings, the demand for the automotive product portfolio remains strong. FES delivered second highest full year PBIT (profit before interest and tax) despite market slowdown and steep commodity inflation. Given the recent fiscal and monetary measures by Government of India and RBI, we foresee the cost pressures in the economy to ease out, he added. Our focus on capital allocation and improved financial metrics continue to deliver results. We continue on our journey towards 18 per cent RoE (return on equity) , said Manoj Bhat, Group Chief Financial Officer, M&M.
