OPERATING RESULTS AND PROFITS

The global macroeconomic landscape in Fiscal 2016 was rough and uncertain and characterized by weak growth of world output. The situation has been compounded by; (i) declining prices of a number of commodities, with reduction in crude oil prices being the most visible of them, (ii) turbulent financial markets (specially the equity markets) and (iii) volatile exchange rates. Global growth remained moderate with uneven prospects across the major economies. The outlook for advanced economies is improving, while growth in emerging market and developing economies is projected to be lower, primarily reflecting weaker prospects for certain large emerging market economies alongside oil and raw material exporting economies. Oil prices have declined during Fiscal 2016 due to weaker than expected global activity and a weaker demand for oil. Exchange rate movements in recent months have been sizable, reflecting changes in expectations about growth and monetary policy across major economies. Long-term government bond yields have declined in major advanced economies, reflecting in part lower inflation expectations, the sharp decline in oil prices and weak domestic demand.

The US economy growth was stronger than with accompanying job growth, resulting in a decline in the unemployment rate. The Eurozone showed signs of economic improvement in 2015, with consumption supported by lower oil prices and higher net exports, driven by lower energy prices, a weaker Euro and a loose monetary policy by the European Central Bank. In Fiscal 2015, GDP in the UK slowed a little, but consumer spending growth remained relatively strong, partially due to lower oil prices. China recorded a pronounced deceleration in growth in Fiscal 2015, which suggests that China's slowdown over the past few years shows little sign of abating. The GDP growth rate moderated to 6.9% for Fiscal 2015 and coincided, with growing debt and excess housing and factory capacity. Brazil's economy sank into the deepest recession in recent history in 2015, amid low prices for key exports, soaring inflation and depressed confidence levels. Economic performance in Russia was impacted by the increase in geopolitical tensions, lower crude oil prices and economic sanctions.

However, India has registered a robust and steady pace of economic growth in Fiscal 2016 with GDP increased by 7.6%. Wholesale price inflation has been in negative territory for more than a year and the all important consumer prices inflation has declined to nearly half of what it was a few years ago. However, weak growth in advanced and emerging economies has taken its toll on India's exports. As imports have also declined, principally on account of reduced prices of crude oil for which the country is heavily dependent on imports, trade and current account deficits continue to be moderate. Growth in agriculture has slackened due to two successive years of less than-normal monsoon rains. The rupee has depreciated vis-à-vis the US dollar, like most other currencies in the world, although less so in magnitude. At the same time, it has appreciated against a number of other major currencies.

The Tata Motors Group registered a growth of 5.0% in gross turnover to r280,097 crores in Fiscal 2016 as compared to Rs.266,708 crores in Fiscal 2015. The consolidated revenue (net of excise) for Fiscal 2016 Rs.275,561 crores grew by 4.7% over last year on the back of strong growth in wholesale volumes across products of Jaguar Land Rover and complemented by strong M&HCV sales in India. The consolidated EBITDA margins for Fiscal 2016 stood at 14.6%. Consequently, Profit Before and After Tax were Rs.13,981 crores and Rs.11,024 crores respectively.

Tata Motors Limited recorded a gross turnover of Rs.46,647 crores, 18.0% higher from r39,531 crores in the previous year. Tailwinds from improving macros - softening interest rates, lower fuel cost and inflation, steady replacement demand from large fleet operators has supported sales growth in M&HCV resulting in significant improvement in EBITDA margins to 6.5% in Fiscal 2016 as against negative 2.2% in Fiscal 2015. Profit Before and After Tax for Fiscal 2016 was at Rs.150 crores and Rs.234 crores respectively, as compared to Loss Before and After Tax of Rs.3,975 crores and Rs.4,739 crores, respectively for last Fiscal.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) (as per IFRS) recorded revenue of GB£22,208 million (Rs.219,019 crores) for Fiscal 2016, up 1.6% from the £21,866 million (Rs.215,646 crores) in the last Fiscal Year, primarily reflecting the successful introduction of new products.

Consolidated EBITDA for Fiscal 2016 was strong at GB£3,147 million (Rs.31,036 crores) but down compared to Fiscal 2015 of GB£4,132 million (Rs.40,750 crores), primarily driven by softer market and model mix and as well as one-time reserves and charges of GB£166 million (r1,637 crores) including the US recall of potentially faulty passenger airbags supplied by Takata, doubtful debts and previously capitalised investment.

Profit Before Tax (PBT) in Fiscal 2016 was GB£1,557 million (Rs.15,355 crores) down by GB£1,057 million compared to the record PBT of GB£2,614 million (Rs.25,780 crores) in Fiscal 2015 primarily reflecting the lower EBITDA, higher depreciation and amortisation and the net exceptional charge of GB£157 million (r1,638 crores) related to vehicles damaged or destroyed in the Tianjin port explosion in August 2015, partially offset by favourable revaluation of US Dollar debt and unrealised FX and commodity hedges as well as profits earned in the China Joint Venture.

Tata Motors Finance Limited (TMFL) (consolidated) the Company's captive financing subsidiary, registered a growth in revenues by 8.0% to Rs.2,968 crores (previous year: Rs.2,743 crores) and reported a Profit After Tax of Rs.267 crores in Fiscal 2016, as compared to Loss after Tax of Rs.611 crores in Fiscal 2015. TMFL's concerted efforts on collection and NPA management strategy has helped to reduce credit losses and gross non-performing assets during Fiscal 2016.

Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company Limited (TDCV) (as per Korean GAAP) South Korea registered revenues of KRW 880 billion (Rs.5,096 crores), a decline of 11% over the previous year mainly due to lower export sales partially offset by increase in domestic sales. The Profit after tax was KRW 46 billion (Rs.264 crores) compared to KRW 54 billion (r304 crores) of previous year which included one-time reversal of provisions pertaining to ordinary wage lawsuit KRW 24 billion (Rs.136 crores). Better profitability of Euro 6 vehicles, better mix, favourable exchange realizations, continuous material cost reduction, various cost control and inventory initiatives helped in improving profits.

Passenger Vehicles

The domestic passenger vehicle industry grew by 7.6% during Fiscal 2016. Correction in fuel prices and easing financing cost has resulted in lower operating cost, which should further aid domestic PV growth in near to medium term. During the year, the Company's Passenger Vehicles sales were lower by 7.0% at 127,118 vehicles, registering a 4.6% market share. The Company sold 106,827 cars (lower by 3.8%) and 20,291 utility vehicles and vans (lower by 20.6%). The Company's sales in the Utility Vehicle segment suffered as competitive activity intensified with multiple new launches mainly in the soft-roader category in this segment. The Company has taken various initiatives to improve its performance such as product refreshes/launch programs, operational efficiency, dealer effectiveness, working capital management and restructuring customer facing functions.

Some of the highlights of this year's performance were:

? Product Launches/Refreshes continued under the Horizonext Strategy

Exports

The Company exported 58,058 vehicles (Fiscal 2015: 49,936 vehicles) comprising 54,052 units of Commercial Vehicles and 4,006 units of Passenger Vehicles during Fiscal 2016.

Export of Commercial Vehicles grew by 16.5% in Fiscal 2016 with 54,052 units exported compared to 46,416 in Fiscal 2015. The traditional markets of SAARC remained stronger than last year growing by 26% with Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal contributing to the growth. However, the mid-term duty change in Sri Lanka and the lockdown in Nepal impacted the growth momentum. However, the subsequent opening of border and easing of pent up demand led to record shipments to Nepal in Q4 of Fiscal 2016. Low crude oil prices, Middle East geo-political situation, currency devaluations and political strife cast a big shadow over our strong markets of Middle East and Africa this year. The Company was able to grow market share in the key markets of Sri Lanka, Kenya, Nepal, Ghana, Congo and Senegal. In Fiscal 2016, the Company successfully bagged and executed several prestigious orders including 450 units Xenon troop carriers for the Ministry of Defence Myanmar taking the total order count to 1,450 units; 87 units of Elanza school buses in Saudi Arabia; 50 units Prima 4,438 in Saudi Arabia; 44 units Ultra truck delivery to Pran RFL Bangladesh and more that 1,000 units Tata Saathi, an application on the ACE platform to Bangladesh. Some of the key events in Fiscal 2016 were the launch of Tata Prima in

Kenya, Uganda and Bangladesh; Ultra Bus in Sri Lanka; Ultra trucks in Bangladesh; Elanza bus in UAE and Ace Express, Ace Mega in Sri Lanka and Nepal. The Company also opened Assembly units with 3rd party vendors in Tunisia and Vietnam. In Fiscal 2016, the Company achieved a key milestone of 1,000 Prima retails in export markets.

During the period Fiscal 2016, the Company's exports of Passenger Vehicles at 4,006 units were 13.8% higher than in Fiscal 2015, mainly due to improved sales in key markets like Sri Lanka and South Africa. Aggressive efforts on the back of the launch of Nano GenX and retails of Indica Xeta gave us strong volume growth in Sri Lanka, whereas in South Africa sales were boosted by the launch of the Bolt (hatchback) and Zest (compact sedan).

In Nepal, the launch of Bolt has helped the Company to improve its share of the hatch segment whereas Zest helped to augment Company's presence in the compact sedan segment and Sumo continues to be the Number One selling brand in UVs in Nepal. Indigo also found an increased acceptance in the commercial segment in Bangladesh, the Philippines and Uruguay.

However, retail sales in China were down 16.4% primarily reflecting softer economic conditions in China at the beginning of the year, the timing of new product launches and the transition of production to our China Joint Venture.
