Vedanta Ltd has released disappointing Q4/22-23 results. Revenue fell 4.75% y-o-y while reported EBITDA decreased 30%, mainly due to lower prices of metals and minerals, along with higher costs. Production was weak. However, leverage ratios are acceptable, with Pro-forma Gross Debt/EBITDA and Net Debt/EBITDA of 3.5x and 2.9x, respectively, in April 2023. Production guidance is essentially flattish, with no significant growth projected in the key segments that contribute the most to EBITDA, namely zinc, oil & gas and aluminium. Refinancing risk over the next one year remains the key risk.
