Tyremaker Ceat has reported an over 25-fold jump in its consolidated profit after tax (PAT) in July-October quarter results for fiscal 2023–24 (Q2FY24) at Rs 208 crore, compared to Rs 8 crore in the corresponding period last year.
On a consolidated basis, the company’s revenue closed at Rs 3,053 crore, up 5.5% in Q2FY24, as compared to Rs 2,894.5 crore in the same period a year ago.
According to Arnab Banerjee, MD and CEO, Ceat said that the demand continues to be stable, and the company has witnessed mid-single-digit growth in its topline across all three segments – replacement, OEMs, and international business.
"Our focus on product mix and judicious pricing helped improve margins during the quarter," he added.
During the quarter under review, EBITDA margin stood at 15.1%, an expansion of 202 basis points versus Q1 FY23-24.

We have also managed to bring our standalone debt down by Rs 103 crore through efficient management of cash flows and improved operating performance," Kumar Subbiah, CFO of Ceat said.
