Petchem: Petchemicals production rose 14% QoQ and 5% YoY to 9.9 mmt during the quarter. Record petchem production partly off-set by weakness in margins across products (MEG, PX, PE, PP) on account of new global capacity, US-China trade concerns and resultant demand slowdown.  

Refinery: Refining throughput of 16.7 mmt during Q2, with revenue slipping 4.4% QoQ and 1.6% YoY due to fall in crude prices. But GRMs strong at USD 9.4 per barrel, improving operating margins 76 bps QoQ to 5.8%, supported by supply disruptions and IMO regulations.

Retail: 10,901 stores (337 added in the September quarter) with a total area of 24.5 million square feet, up 25% YoY. Retail EBITDA margins improved 27 bps QoQ to 5.6%, as EBITDA jumped 13% QoQ and 67% YoY to Rs.2,322 crore.

Digital: Jio telecom subscribers rose 41% YoY to 355.2 million, with company adding 1 crore mobile subscribers per month. While Jio is the country’s highest market share in terms of 4G subscriber base and 4G data traffic, ARPU for the September 2019 quarter came in at Rs. 120 per subscriber per month vs Rs. 122 per subscriber per month in the June quarter, making it the seventh successive quarter of declining ARPUs.

Others: Consolidated debt (30-9-19) Rs. 291,982 crore with cash and equivalents of Rs. 134,746 crore, leading to net debt-to-equity ratio of 0.4:1. Lower tax provision on account of cut in MAT rate.

Thus, RIL’s results on the consumer businesses has been excellent despite the consumption slowdown, indicating that monetisation of these assets as indicated, remains on track. Company’s recent global tie-ups (proposed with Saudi Aramco for O2C, BP JV for fuel retailing, Microsoft for digital offering) prove that the tiger is not willing to take a pause and India’s largest company aims to get larger.
