Renewables funds see record outflows as rising rates, costs hit shares

By Patturaja Murugaboopathy and Tommy Wilkes BENGALURU/LONDON, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Investors ditched renewable energy funds at the fastest rate on record in the three months to end-September as cleaner energy shares took a beating from higher interest rates and soaring material costs, which are squeezing profit margins.

Renewable energy funds globally suffered a net outflow of $1.4 billion in the July-September quarter, the biggest ever quarterly outflow, according to LSEG Lipper data.

However, the outflows only partially reversed the trend for the first half of 2023 when investors added a net $3.36 billion, the data showed.

The sector's total assets under management now stand at $65.4 billion, a 23% decline from end-June, according to the data.

주요 계열사를 겸직 대표로 둔 것에 대해선 강도 높은 구조조정을 위해서란 해석이 나온다. 한 신세계그룹 임직원은 “임원 월급 아끼려고 대표를 겸직시켰겠나? 사업부를 축소해 실속 없는 일을 정리하라는 의미 아니겠냐”라며 “곧 구조조정이 있을 것으로 예상된다”고 말했다.

특히 이마트·에브리데이·이마트24의 구조조정이 예상된다. 이번 인사에서 신세계그룹은 3개 회사를 한 대표가 총괄하게 하면서, 황운기 이마트 상품본부장에게 슈퍼와 편의점 등 3사의 상품본부장을 겸직하도록 했다.

시장에선 앞서 마트와 슈퍼의 상품 조달(소싱)을 통합한 롯데쇼핑처럼 이마트 역시 통합 효율화를 끌어낼 거란 관측이 나온다. 이진협 한화투자증권 연구원은 “앞서 롯데쇼핑이 상품 통합을 통해 매출총이익(GPM)을 2% 개선했는데, 이마트가 유사한 방식으로 상품기획(MD) 부문을 통합하면 1%만 개선돼도 2000억원의 이익 개선을 볼 수 있을 것”이라고 했다.

롯데웰푸드(옛 롯데제과)는 인도 자회사인 롯데 인디아(LOTTE INDIA) 첸나이 공장에 약 300억원을 투자해 증설한 롯데 초코파이 세 번째 생산라인을 본격 가동한다고 10일 밝혔다. 롯데 초코파이가 인도 현지에서 ‘국민 간식’으로 등극하며 급격한 판매량 증가세를 보이자, 첸나이 공장에 신규 초코파이 생산라인을 증설한 것이다.

기존에 운영하고 있는 인도 남부 첸나이 공장과 인도 북부 뉴델리 하리아나주 공장 생산라인의 평균 가동률이 지난해 기준 약 104%를 넘기고 향후 수요도 늘어날 것으로 예상되면서 제3라인 증설 투자에 나섰다. 제조 라인과 냉장창고 등 기반시설 마련에 총 300억원 가까이 투입돼, 1년간의 증설 공사 후 본격적으로 생산을 시작한 롯데 초코파이가 출하를 앞두고 있다.
