Tata Steel has released its Q2/23-24 results. Consolidated production and sales volume declined 3% and 2% y-o-y, respectively, to 7.31 mn tons and 7.07 mn tons, respectively. Consolidated revenue fell 7% to INR 55,682 cr, driven by lower volume and prices. EBITDA was INR 4,315 cr, with a margin of 8%. EBITDA margin/ton was INR 6,106. The Indian business continued to perform well, but the European business continued to weigh on the overall performance. While the results were decent, the Indian business' good performance was offset by increasing losses in the UK operations. The financial risk profile is deteriorating. Positively, liquidity is solid, with a large cash position. Key near-term credit drivers would be the restructuring of the UK business and a GBP 1.25 bn green steel manufacturing project in the UK.
