Commenting on the results, Alok Gupta, Managing Director of Allied Blenders and Distillers Limited, stated, " We delivered strong growth in profitability this quarter, driven by a strategic brand mix and cost-saving initiatives, despite facing short-term demand servicing challenge. With the successful IPO in July 2024 behind us, we are more confident in our ability to deliver sustained growth and enhance shareholder value creation. We remain dedicated to advancing excellence and achieving new accomplishments”.

 

Performance Review:

 

Income from Operations at ₹ 759 crore in Q1FY25 was lower by 1.4% vs ₹ 770 crore in Q4FY24 and lower by 6.8% vs 815 crore in Q1FY24. Despite strong demand for our products, persistent delayed receivables from a key market since H2FY24 which has impacted the industry as well, continued to affect our overall servicing needs and short-term volume growth in Q1FY25.

 

 

Note: Income from Operations is Total Income less Excise Duty. EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by Income from Operations

 

Overall, we delivered 7.3 mn cases in Q1FY25, a growth of 2.7% vs 7.1 mn cases in Q4FY24 and lower by 11.8% vs 8.2 mn cases in Q1FY24. However, the momentum of premiumization continued as Prestige & Above volume salience increased to 36.9% in Q1FY25 as compared to 33.5% in Q1FY24 and value salience increased to 46.1% in Q1FY25 as compared to 43.2% in Q1FY24.

 

Following our successful IPO in July, 2024 and the subsequent strengthening of our balance sheet, our ability to meet demand and cater to customer servicing needs has significantly improved.

 

EBITDA at ₹ 76 crore grew by 22.0% as compared to ₹ 62 crore in Q4FY24 and grew by 44.0% as compared to ₹ 53 crore in Q1FY24. The strong performance in EBITDA was driven by strong focus on state brand mix and cost optimization initiatives
