Ceat Ltd (CEATLTD) Q2FY26 Concall Summary - Sep-2025 Qtr
Performance Overview
- The company achieved a strong quarter with a 14.2% YoY growth in consolidated revenue, driven primarily by volume increases in the OEM and international business segments, which both saw double-digit growth.
- A significant policy change, the reduction in GST on tyres, is viewed as a major positive catalyst for the industry, expected to boost demand, particularly in rural markets and for lower-priced vehicles, by making tyres more affordable.
- The company successfully completed the acquisition of the Camso business in Sri Lanka on September 1, 2025, marking a strategic move to become a leading player in the premium Off-Highway Tyre (OHT) segment, which is expected to be margin-accretive in the medium term.
- Gross margins saw a substantial expansion of over 400 basis points quarter-on-quarter, reaching the company's long-term target range of 40-42%. This improvement was attributed to softening raw material costs and better net sales realization.
- The company is advancing its strategic focus on electrification, premiumization, and digital initiatives, holding a 30% market share in the OEM PCUV EV segment and 20% in the 2-Wheeler EV space, while also launching new premium products and implementing GenAI tools to enhance customer experience.
