3M India

Aug 14 (Reuters) - Industrial products maker 3M India TMIN.NS reported a nearly 32% jump in first-quarter profit on Friday, driven by strong demand across its consumer, safety and industrial businesses.

Here are some more details:

• The Post-it notes and Scotch-Brite cleaning pads maker reported a net profit of 2.33 billion rupees ($24.42 million) for the quarter ended June 30 from 1.77 billion rupees a year earlier.

• Revenue from operations rose 19% to 14.23 billion rupees, while expenses increased 24.1% to 12.06 billion rupees from a year earlier.

• 3M India, a unit of U.S. industrial conglomerate 3M MMM.N, sells a range of industrial, safety, healthcare and consumer products, from abrasives and adhesives to personal protective equipment and office supplies.

• Shares of the company were up 0.6% after the results.

• Analysts have previously flagged pressure on the company's margins from rupee depreciation, commodity inflation and elevated freight costs.

• Last month, parent 3M raised its full-year profit forecast, driven by strength in its safety & industrial business, as well as price hikes, which are expected to "fully offset" a hit to its profit from oil-led inflation.

Feb 12 (Reuters) - Industrial giant 3M's Indian arm TMIN.NS swung to a quarterly loss for the first time in five-and-a-half years, hit by a one-time charge linked to the country's new labour codes.

The company, whose products range from Post-it notes to power tools, posted on Thursday a loss of 620.6 million rupees ($6.85 million) for the quarter ended December 31, compared to a profit of 1.14 billion rupees a year ago.

The firm had last posted a loss in the quarter ended June 2020 amid a nationwide COVID-19 lockdown.

For the December quarter, 3M India's revenue in the transportation and electronics segment rose 3.8%, dipping from a year-earlier 10% rise.

3M India's second-biggest business, the safety and industrials segment, grew by 20% while its healthcare segment posted 13.5% growth.

Total revenue climbed 12.7% to 12.28 billion rupees, outpacing expenses, which rose 10%.

The company booked a charge of about 746 million rupees tied to India's new labour codes, the country's biggest overhaul of workers' laws in decades which have dragged profits of firms across sectors.

The Scotch-Brite scrub maker said Managing Director–designate Aseem Joshi will take over from Ramesh Ramadurai in April 2026.

Last month, parent 3M MMM.N posted an annual profit that came in just below Wall Street estimates, citing uneven demand. CEO Bill Brown said its roofing‑granules and automotive‑aftermarket units will stay under pressure early in 2026 due to a weak macro environment.

Aug 7 (Reuters) - Diversified products maker 3M India TMIN.NS reported a year-on-year rise in profit after three consecutive quarters of decline, buoyed by strong demand in its healthcare and consumer segments.

The company, which makes everything from 'Post-it' notes to medical gear, reported a 13.1% rise in profit after tax to 1.78 billion rupees ($20.30 million) for the first quarter ended June 30, from 1.57 billion rupees a year ago.

The Indian arm of U.S. conglomerate 3M MMM.N has logged robust demand in sectors such as healthcare, infrastructure and electronics as India's own manufacturing activities scale up, led by higher government expenditure and strong economic growth.

3M India's revenue rose 14.3% to 11.96 billion rupees, marking its highest growth in three quarters. Expenses rose roughly 13%.

Last month parent 3M MMM.N raised its full-year profit forecast and projected a smaller hit from U.S. tariffs to its 2025 earnings.

Sales in both its healthcare and consumer segments, which account for 20% and 11% of the top line, respective, rose 20% each.

Its biggest segment, transportation and electronics, which makes up about 37% of the overall revenue, saw an 11% rise in sales.

Shares of 3M India were down 2.22% in a weak broader market after the U.S. doubled the tariffs on imported Indian goods to 50%, stoking concerns over the economic impact of heightened trade tensions .BO.

Feb 6 (Reuters) - Diversified products maker 3M India TMIN.NS reported a 16% fall in its third-quarter profit on Friday, as inflationary pressures pushed costs higher, hurting margins.

The company, whose products range from "Post-it" notes to power tools, said its profit after tax fell to 1.14 billion rupees ($13.05 million) for the quarter ended December 31, compared to 1.35 billion rupees a year ago.

India's consumer goods makers have grappled with high inflation, which spiked to 6.21% in October and remained above 5% through December, driving up the cost of key raw materials.

3M reported a 23% increase in the cost of raw materials and a 13% rise in total expenses for the quarter.

The company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margins contracted by 12% compared to the previous year, negatively impacting its profitability.

However, the Scotch-Brite scrub maker has continuously raised prices across its product range in recent quarters to counter inflationary pressures, which helped revenue to grow.

It's transportation and electronics segment, which includes automotive parts, lighting solutions, and wires and cables, posted a 10% increase in revenue, driving the company's total revenue up 8% to 10.9 billion rupees.

3M India, the Indian arm of the U.S.-based industrial conglomerate 3M MMM.N, said its revenue from safety and industrial segment, with products like face shields and construction hats, posted a 1.4% revenue fall.

Shares of the company fell 2% after posting results.

Nov 12 (Reuters) - Diversified products maker 3M India TMIN.NS reported its first drop in quarterly profit in three years on Tuesday, pressured by higher expenses and weakness in its transportation and electronics segment.

The company, whose products range from "Post-it" notes to power tools, reported an 8.4% fall in profit after tax to 1.34 billion rupees ($15.9 million) for the second quarter ended Sept. 30.

Its revenue from operations rose about 7% to 11.11 billion rupees. However, expenses rose about 10% to 9.46 billion rupees, mainly due to a 26% jump in material costs.

"We experienced cost headwinds both due to elevated freight costs as well as material cost increases," Managing Director Ramesh Ramadurai said.

The higher expenses pressured 3M India's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), which shrunk to 2.01 billion rupees from 2.10 billion rupees a year ago and 2.27 billion rupees in the previous quarter.

The company's transportation and electronics segment, which houses products including automotive parts, lighting products and wires and cables and contributes 35% of revenue, reported a 1.4% fall in revenue.

Demand for automotive parts was dull as Indian carmakers' sales to dealers marked the first decline in 10 quarters in the July-September period, industry data showed.

Meanwhile, revenue in the safety and industrial segment, which offers products such as face shields and construction hats, grew nearly 9%, helped by pick-up in infrastructure and manufacturing activity.

3M India, the Indian arm of the U.S.-based industrial conglomerate 3M MMM.N, said its revenue from its health care segment grew 19%.

The company has been hiking prices across its product range over the past few quarters, dampening demand.

Last month, 3M reported about an 18% rise in quarterly profit as cost cuts countered the impact of slow sales in its consumer business.

BENGALURU, Aug 6 (Reuters) - 3M India TMIN.NS reported on Tuesday a 22% jump in its first-quarter profit, as a decrease in total expenses helped lift the diversified products maker's bottomline.

The company, which makes everything from 'Post-it' notes to power tools, reported a consolidated profit after tax of 1.57 billion rupees ($18.7 million) for the quarter ended June 30, from 1.29 billion rupees a year earlier.

Total expenses declined 4% during the reported quarter, primarily due to a decrease in employee benefit expenses and depreciation charges.

3M India, the Indian arm of the U.S.-based industrial conglomerate 3M Co MMM.N, said its safety and industrial segment - which contributes 32% to the total revenue - saw a slight rise in revenue.

The segment houses products including fire barrier seals and electrical resins.

Revenue from its healthcare segment remained flat, while that from its transportation and electronics segment fell 4%.

3M's total revenue remained flat as consistent price hikes across its product range, including adhesives and office supplies, dampened demand.

Last month, U.S.-based 3M Co reported better-than-expected profit for June quarter and raised its annual adjusted profit forecast, hoping to benefit from its restructuring measures and increasing demand for electronics.

Corrects paragraph 9 in Nov 10 story to say 3M in July 2022 announced plans to spin off its healthcare business, not already spun it off

BENGALURU, Nov 10 (Reuters) - 'Post-it' notes maker 3M India TMIN.NS reported a near 38% jump in its second-quarter profit on Friday, helped by sustained demand for its products.

Consolidated profit after tax came in at 1.46 billion rupees ($17.51 million) for the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with 1.06 billion rupees a year earlier, the Indian arm of U.S.-based diversified manufacturer 3M Co MMM.N said in a filing.

The Bengaluru-based company makes a host of products including 'Scotch' tape, 'Post-it' notes, power tools, and bandages.

It reported a more than 6% rise in revenue from operations to 10.4 billion rupees, helped by a near 5% growth in the transportation and electronics segment.

A revival in automotive production and increasing focus on localised production of mobile phones has helped buoy demand for the company's transportation and electronics products, analysts have said.

Its safety and industrial segment - which counts face shields and construction hats in its lineup - grew more than 3%.

Shares of 3M India, which have risen nearly 44% so far this year, were up as much as 2.15% post results before closing 0.6% lower.

On Friday, the company approved terms of arrangement with four U.S. entities for licensed manufacturing, reselling and distributorship of its healthcare business in India and Nepal.

This comes after parent 3M Co announced plans to spin off its healthcare business in July 2022, while proposing to maintain the segment's manufacturing and distribution operations in India through the local unit.

The agreements have an initial term of five years and will become effective upon the spin-off's completion, expected during the first half of 2024.
