MRF Limited Provides Update on Order Of Competition Commission Of India (CCI) And Subsequent Appeal Pending Before Supreme Court MRF Limited announced that reference to letters dated 3 February 2022, 2 December 2022 and 14 August 2023. It may be recalled that the CCI had in February 2022 issued its order against MRF Limited, four other Indian tyre manufacturers and also the Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association, for breach of the Competition Act, 2002 during the year 2011-12. The Commission had imposed a penalty of INR 622.09 Crores on MRF Limited (apart from penalties levied on others). An appeal was preferred against the above order before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) and NCLAT had in December 2022 disposed off the appeal by remanding the matter back to CCI for review after hearing the parties. Against this Order of the NCLAT, CCI had filed an appeal before the Supreme Court and the same is pending. In the meantime, MRF Limited had also filed an appeal before the Supreme Court against the Order of NCLAT since NCLAT has, after giving categorical findings in favor of the Appellants (i.e. Tyre Companies and its association), instead of allowing the appeals, erroneously remanded the same back to CCI for review. MRF's appeal came up for hearing and the Supreme Court has ordered notice and tagged the appeal along with the appeal filed by the CCI. New Risk • Sep 26
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 11% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Major Estimate Revision • Aug 10
