    Result Highlights:

    • Reliance Industries reported marginal increase of 2% YoY in the Revenue majorly on account of a sharp decrease in the crude oil prices and lower realization from the petrochemicals.

    • The company reported a record EBITDA of Rs.38,440 cr., indicating a 22% rise from the corresponding quarter of the previous year. EBITDA margin increased by 300 bps on YoY basis.
    • Among segments, Oil and Gas grew with huge 127% on YoY basis; Retail and Digital services (Jio) also showed strong growth of 19% and 15% on YoY basis respectively.

    Management Commentary:

    Commenting on the March quarter results, Mukesh D Ambani, CEO and MD said, this year we have proposed to demerge our financial services arm and list the new entity “Jio Financial Services Ltd.”. This gives our shareholders an opportunity to participate in an exciting new growth platform from inception. Implementation of our New Energy Giga factories at Jamnagar is making significant progress. This puts us on track to achieve our goals of transitioning to cleaner energy and enabling sustainable growth.

    Outlook:

    Reliance Industries has beaten the broader estimated results in the March’23 quarter with 2% YoY increase in the revenue and 18% YoY increase in the Net profits. All businesses showed better performance other than oil to chemicals and financial services. The present softness in refining margins may be reversed with the reopening of China and a strong demand from the US. The profitability outlook remains stable for O2C,  upstream and retail, while the Jio Financial Services listing (expected by October 23), commissioning of battery-PV gigafactories (in 1-2 years), and 5G deployment across country are some key positive triggers for the company. We remain positive on the Reliance Industries for the target price of Rs.3100 for longer term.
