Coal India, the world\u2019s largest coal-producing company, is set to announce its Q4FY25 earnings on May 7, with analysts projecting a decline in net profit. Despite the company reporting higher coal production volumes, blended realizations are expected to be under pressure, leading to a subdued performance for the March quarter.<\/p>\n
According to a poll conducted by Moneycontrol involving six brokerages, Coal India’s net profit is estimated to decrease by 8.75 percent year-on-year to \u20b97,748.20 crore, and fall by 10.3 percent sequentially. Revenue is expected to rise by 3.5 percent year-on-year to \u20b937,029.70 crore, although it may show a decline on a quarter-on-quarter basis. EBITDA is forecasted to experience a 10.6 percent decline year-on-year, reaching \u20b911,016.50 crore, and a 2.8 percent dip sequentially.<\/p>\n
Highlights:<\/p>\n
Net profit decline of 8.75% YoY to \u20b97,748.20 crore.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Revenue growth of 3.5% YoY, but expected to decline sequentially.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
EBITDA drop of 10.6% YoY, with a 2.8% sequential decline.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In Q4FY25, Coal India reported a 2 percent decline in coal production to 237 million tonnes (MT), with total offtake dropping by 1 percent year-on-year to 200 MT. Analysts predict a marginal decline of 1 percent year-on-year in volumes. Additionally, blended realizations are expected to soften by 1.5 percent year-on-year to \u20b91,673 per tonne, further weighing on the company\u2019s earnings.<\/p>\n

Blended realizations projected to soften by 1.5% YoY to \u20b91,673 per tonne.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The primary factors contributing to the weaker EBITDA performance are elevated employee costs and a seasonal trend typically observed in the fourth quarter. In addition, a moderation in e-auction premiums is expected, largely driven by a decline in global thermal coal prices. This, along with the impact of higher operational costs, is expected to put significant pressure on Coal India\u2019s earnings.<\/p>\n

E-auction premiums are expected to show a quarter-on-quarter decline, dropping to 55 percent in Q4, down from 76.4 percent in Q3. This decline follows a 22.5 percent drop in international thermal coal prices, which decreased to $108 per tonne. On a year-on-year basis, however, the e-auction performance showed improvement, with prices increasing by 2 percent to \u20b92,545 per tonne, and e-auction volumes rising by 22 percent to 21.5 MT.<\/p>\n
Despite the sequential decline in premiums, the overall e-auction performance has benefited from a modest improvement in coal grade mix, which led to a slight rise in Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) price estimates. The FSA price estimate for Q4 is expected to be \u20b91,527 per tonne, up from \u20b91,514 per tonne in Q3.<\/p>\n
Highlights:<\/p>\n
E-auction premiums decline to 55% QoQ from 76.4% in Q3.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
E-auction volumes up by 22% YoY to 21.5 MT.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
FSA price estimate rises slightly to \u20b91,527 per tonne.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
As Coal India prepares to announce its Q4 results, key areas for investors to monitor include the e-auction realizations and the share of e-auction volumes in the total offtake. These factors will play a crucial role in determining the company\u2019s profitability in the face of the current economic pressures. Additionally, any announcements regarding interim dividends will be closely watched by investors.<\/p>\n
