Key Highlights

·  Continued consolidation and growth driven by Supply Chain Services in Q4 F23, which grew by 15% including acquisitions.

·  3PL Supply Chain services growing 15% YoY driven by growth in automotive and engineering. Diversified revenue portfolio across segments offset muted growth in Ecommerce.  

·  Freight Forwarding business revenues were impacted by downward correction in freight rates. Despite the impact of the pricing, underlying volume growth was positive in ocean exports and air imports.

·  The mobility business continues to see a strong uptick on airport based services driven by higher travel and moderate pick up in employee transportation management.

·   During the last quarter our wholly owned subsidiary MLL Express Services Private Limited (MESPL) completed the acquisition of the Rivigo's B2B express business, along with the associated brand and technology platforms. The acquisition expands our presence to over ~19,000 pin-codes across India. The integration is underway and expect to start realizing cost reduction benefits from Q1 FY23-24.

·   Warehouse space under management stood at 19 million Sq. ft. including all service lines. The Company announced development of a new 1 million Sq. ft. park at Chakan.

Commenting on the performance, Mr. Rampraveen Swaminathan, Managing Director and CEO of Mahindra Logistics Ltd. said,

“In Q4 FY23, we continued to invest in our vision of becoming a customer-led provider of integrated logistics & mobility solutions. Despite slowdown in some end markets, our core 3PL business demonstrated positive traction on order intake and margin expansion, driven by our diversified market segments. Our freight forwarding business was impacted by freight price corrections but demonstrated volume growth across all offerings. The integration program of Rivigo’s B2B express business acquired last quarter remains on track to yield cost and operating synergies in the coming quarters. Continued investments in operational excellence and technology aided in operational efficiencies. During the quarter we were certified as Great Place to Work^TM, reaffirming our commitment to building an equal opportunity, inclusive workplace. We remain optimistic of positive demand uptick in coming quarters and remain focused on consolidating and leveraging our portfolio.”
