Management Comment

Mr Vivek Vikram Singh, MD & Group CEO, commented: "We delivered our highest quarterly EBITDA, net profit,
BEV revenue, BEV revenue share and order book in Q3 FY24. Our BEV revenue was higher by 28% y-o-y,
representing 30% of overall revenues. EBITDA margin improved by 200 bps y-o-y to 29.2%, driving EBITDA growth
of 22% and PAT growth of 24%. We have introduced a new product, an integrated motor controller, that should
improve the electric powertrains for E2-wheelers. As per Ricardo estimates, our global market share increased
in differential gears and starter motors in 2023. On the ESG front, I am happy to report that we reduced the
intensity of emissions from our operations by over 10% last year. The last quarter was one of our best quarters
for business development. With five new BEV program wins, we closed last quarter with an all-time high net
order book. Three of the new BEV programs won are for three innovative and unique powertrain solutions,
reaffirming our position as the technology leader in our products. From where we stand today and what we
see, based on customer schedules and our strong order book, we are certain that electrification will continue
to drive strong growth for us in the immediate, medium, and long term.”

Operational Highlights – Q3 FY24 and 9M FY24

Key Developments:
• Sona Comstar developed a new product, Integrated Motor Controller, for electric two-wheelers. This
new product differs from a separate motor and controller setup due to several aspects and offers our
customers matchless advantages. Some advantages include i) compact design, ii) improved
efficiency and performance, iii) cost-effectiveness, iv) reduced wiring and connectivity issues, etc.

• The company has received an order from a new customer, an Indian OEM of ICE and electric two-
wheelers, to supply integrated motor controllers for their upcoming high-performance electric bikes.
This drivetrain is compact because the controller is integrated with the motor in a single unit. This
program has added Rs 345 crores to our order book. Production is likely to commence in Q1 FY26.

• Global OEM of electric cars has awarded the company a new program to supply Spool Gears for the
three-motor architecture of their most advanced and highest-torque SUV BEV model. This program has
added Rs 570 crores to our order book. The program's start of production is in Q4 FY24.
• A North American New Age OEM of electric cars has awarded the company a program to supply
Epicyclic Geartrain and Rotor shafts for their high-performance electric car. This program has added
Rs 99 crores to our order book, and production will likely commence in H1 FY27.

Electrification:
• BEV Revenue Share: Revenue from Battery EV grew 28% YoY Rs. 222 crores in Q3 FY24 and contributed
30% of total revenue.
• EV programs: we added five new programs and two new customers in Q3 FY24. The number of
awarded programs increased to 53 across 30 different customers.
