4/58

quarter (October-December 2010) of FY11, a growth of over

34.44 per cent over the corresponding period in the last fiscal(October-December 2009) of FY 10.

The companys profit before tax (before exceptional items) for

the period stood at Rs 587.87 crore, while profit after tax(PAT) for the period stood at Rs 429.00 crores. The company

has recorded an EBIDTA margin of 11.17 per cent.

Hero Honda had registered its highest ever quarterly sales of

14,28,030 two-wheelers in the third quarter this fiscal, fuelledby its half million-plus unit sales in the months of October and

December 2010. Hero Honda also for the first time crossed the

five million unit sales during calendar year 2010, retaining the

coveted status of World No.1 two-wheeler manufacturer forthe 10th consecutive year.

Dr. Brijmohan Lall, Chairman, Hero Honda Motors Ltd,

said, It has indeed been a very satisfying performance overthe past several quarters. And now we are taking strides

towards our larger vision, in keeping with the aspirations of a

progressive India. The future looks bright and we will strive

towards providing the best to our customers.

Mr. Pawan Munjal, MD & CEO, Hero Honda Motors

Ltd.,said For the past few quarters, the industry has faced amultitude of issues with constraints in supply of components

and rising input costs. Our margins have been under pressureon account of that. While we expect the market demand for

two-wheelers to remain bullish and we are confident of

carrying on our growth trajectory, we do foresee margins to

remain under pressure in the short term.

We, as a company, are also in the middle of a transition.Last week, we have signed the new licensing agreements with

Honda. We are also close to finalizing the location for our

ourth plant. We will shortly be making an announcement in

this regard even as we keep adding further capacities at our

existing three plants.

Hero Honda is a Global Partner of the forthcoming ICC

Cricket World Cup 2011 to be held in India, Bangladesh and

Sri Lanka. To leverage the association, Hero Honda is hosting

a Karizma ZMR Cricket Championship across 75 cities inIndia and also in Colombo in Sri Lanka and Dhaka in

Bangladesh, involving college cricket teams. The 28 final


5/58

winning teams will get a chance to take a 'victory lap' during

the ICC Cricket World Cup matches, a dream-come-true forthem.

20/58

us the confidence to be ever more rigorous in our approach.

We would like to thank our customers, suppliers, dealers,employees and also our joint venture partners again for their

faith in us and for their full support given in so many different

ways.


Ltd., saidWere delighted to report our best quarter ever,

with the highest revenue and earnings in Hero Hondashistory. The momentum from a strong FY09 has gotten us off

to an excellent start in FY10. Our sales continue to be robust,and profitability has improved by a record 83%. Our ongoing

focus on continuous innovation in every sphere of our

business and fiscal discipline have allowed us to leverage our

double-digit sales growth into robust earnings for the quarter.Our operating performance is excellent at both the top and

expanding the customer reach and by offering technologicallysuperior products. We have a rigorous expansion plan in

place.

With over 59 per cent market-share in the domestic

motorcycle market and with sales of over a million units in the

quarter, the robust top line growth has largely contributed tothe strong bottom line performance. Several other key factors

such as cost rationalization across the board, softening of

commodity prices, and tax benefits also contributed to thebottom line. The current quarter reflects a substantial tax

benefit accrued on account of the companys full utilization of

the tax benefits available for the Haridwar plant, which

resulted in bringing down the overall effective tax rate.,

The consistent robust top line performance has been driven by

volume growth across segments and markets, aggressive brandbuilding initiatives and rapid network expansion, reflecting the

strong brands and continued expansion of new markets. Most

of the recent launches such as Passion Pro, Splendor NXGself-start, the special edition Hunk, the new Pleasure, in

addition to the trusted Splendor + and Passion Plus, have been

treme continue to help build on Hero Hondas steadilygrowing share in the premium segment.
