As we step into 2025, let's take a look back at Fairfax India Holdings Corporation's (TSX: FIH.U) financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024. The company, an investment holding corporation focused on India and Indian businesses, faced a challenging year marked by market volatility and currency fluctuations. However, Fairfax India managed to navigate these waters and maintain its strong financial health.
In 2024, Fairfax India reported net losses of $41.2 million, a significant decrease from the $371.8 million net earnings in 2023. The decrease in book value per share, from $21.85 to $20.96, was primarily due to unrealized foreign currency translation losses as the U.S. dollar strengthened against the Indian rupee. This highlights the importance of currency risk management in the company's investment strategy.
Despite the challenging market conditions, Fairfax India generated net realized gains on investments of $218.9 million, primarily from the sale of NSE and partial sales of CSB Bank. Additionally, the company recorded a net change in unrealized gains on investments of $55.1 million, driven by increases in the fair values of its listed investment in IIFL Capital and private company investments in BIAL, Maxop, and Jaynix.
The company's investment in Global Aluminium Private Limited, completed in October 2024, contributed to its financial performance. Although the specific impact was not explicitly stated, the retention of a portion of the investment suggests some initial benefits. Looking ahead, the success of this investment will depend on the performance of Global Aluminium and the broader aluminum industry.
Fairfax India's acquisition of an additional 10.0% equity interest in BIAL through its wholly-owned subsidiary, announced in December 2024, is expected to close during the first quarter of 2025. This acquisition will strengthen the company's position in BIAL and potentially provide long-term benefits through growth, diversification, and appreciation.
In conclusion, Fairfax India Holdings Corporation faced a challenging year in 2024, marked by market volatility and currency fluctuations. However, the company managed to navigate these waters and maintain its strong financial health. With a focus on currency risk management and strategic investments, Fairfax India is well-positioned to continue generating value for its shareholders in the years to come.
