THE YEAR IN PERSPECTIVE

In the year under review, amidst persistent geopolitical and economic challenges, the global economy faced elevated levels of uncertainty, putting the resilience of major economies to the test. Advanced economies recorded modest growth, constrained by prolonged tight monetary policies. In contrast, emerging markets led by India played a critical role in sustaining global economic momentum, supported by strong domestic demand, ongoing structural reforms, and sustained government expenditure. According to the World Bank’s Global Economic Prospects June 2025 report, India’s real GDP growth remained healthy at 6.5% in 2024.

In Fiscal Year 2025, your Company’s standalone business recorded a 5% year-on-year growth in Net Revenue, reaching C 2,536 crore, driven by stable business operations and continued momentum in the Prestige & Above segment. EBITDA for the year stood at C 163 crore, with EBITDA margins at 6%, impacted by elevated input costs and growth expenses in the Prestige & Above segment. The Net Profit for the year under review was C 25 crore.

In Fiscal 2025, the Consumer Business accounted for 39% of the Company’s Total Revenue.

In the Regular & Others segment, your Company maintained strong performance in key markets such as Rajasthan, with continued market leadership. This segment is characterized

by healthy EBITDA margins and strong return ratios, driven by a fast-moving cash cycle and a low asset base. Additionally, the Company’s entry into the Uttar Pradesh market in this category is expected to contribute positively in the year ahead.

The Prestige & Above segment gained strong momentum, contributing 13% to the Consumer Business revenue. Your Company successfully entered new categories, like Single Malt Whisky with DOAAB and Beer segment via a joint venture, marking a strategic expansion aligned with its longterm growth vision. The Company has a robust portfolio, comprising 11 brands across 9 states. Fiscal 2025 was a milestone year for this segment which surpassed the revenue target of C 100 crore and achieved a topline of C 129 crore. Profitability continues to improve with rising volumes, and efficient operations. This segment is expected to drive the next phase of your Company’s growth trajectory.

In Fiscal 2025, the Manufacturing Business accounted for 61% of the Company’s Total Revenue. This segment encountered headwinds due to elevated input costs. However, your Company was able to effectively navigate these challenges, leveraging the operational flexibility and efficiency of its fungible manufacturing facilities. The rice supply policy announced by the Food Corporation of India (FCI) towards the end of FY25 is expected to positively impact the segment by improving the overall supply-demand balance for rice. The Company was also able to mitigate certain risks by procuring maize as an alternative, thereby diversifying its raw material mix.

In April 2024, your Company commissioned a new bottling line in the state of Uttar Pradesh. This strategic expansion will be further supported by planned capital expenditure for setting up a 100 KLPD distillation facility, designed to be fungible between molasses and grain. Scheduled for completion by Q3 FY26.

With a strong foundation and deep industry expertise, your Company is well-positioned to unlocking new growth avenues, especially in the Consumer Business segments.

THE YEAR IN PERSPECTIVE

In Fiscal 2024 the global economy remained resilient even though there were many disruptions like Inflation spiked following a Russian-Ukraine war, followed by a globally synchronized tightening of monetary policy, and attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea which led to a rise in global freight rates. However, India has shown resilience and is poised for further growth because of the strong economic policies in place.

In Fiscal 2024, your Company reported a growth of 15% in net revenues to reach '' 2,415crore due to performance in the manufacturing and consumer segment, and EBITDA stood at '' 184crores. EBITDA margins were at 8% due to the higher input costs, and investments in the IMFL segment. Net profit stood at '' 97Crores in the year under review.

The share of consumer business was 34% in Fiscal 2024. The Company continued to perform well in its key markets like Rajasthan with higher growth in the Value Plus (Medium Liquor) and continues to be the market leader, in this segment we enjoy a healthy EBITDA margin which leads to strong return ratios and is a fast-moving cash-cycle with a low asset base which helps us to invest in company’s future growth opportunity which is the Prestige & Above segment. In Fiscal 2024, the sales from the IMFL segment picked up and contributed 6% of the top line of consumer revenue. We have been able to enter brand new categories such as the Read to Drink category, as well as the Beer category thanks to this vote of confidence. A premium segment currently contributes 2% of your company’s revenue, and the company believes it will contribute to its next phase of growth. Your company has developed a strong portfolio of Prestige & Above segment brands, with six brands spread across six states. In the upcoming year, several launches of new products in select markets and existing products in new markets will be planned and executed.

The share of the manufacturing business was 66% in Fiscal 2024. It witnessed a growth of 17% as the plants were running at optimum utilisation and raw material prices increased which we partially passed on because of the strong nature of our business. Our incremental capacities of 60 KLPD each at Jharkhand and West Bengal will be operational from Q1 of FY25 and we expect further boost in topline from here on. There is no doubt that your company’s strong presence in the manufacturing sector is the backbone of the business.

As a manufacturing company with a solid foundation, we are confident in exploring opportunities in the consumer segment.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

During the year under review the company reported a growth of 25% in net revenue as compare to previous year and PBT has been decreased by Rs.414.11 lakhs from the previous year and also PAT has been decreased by Rs.882.81 lakhs from the previous year. The Basic and Diluted EPS of the Company is Rs.1.98/- as compared to Rs.5.02/- in the previous year.

THE YEAR IN PERSPECTIVE

The alcohol sector remained under pressure for most part of 2017-18 due to impact of macro developments like demonetisation and GST in general and restrictive alcohol policies in particular. However, industry sentiment slightly improved towards the second half with more clarity emerging on GST, reduced impact of highway ban and increase in rural offtake. Despite the overall challenging environment, your Company’s resilient performance was once again a testimony to its robust 360° business model.

In FY17-18, your Company reported a growth of 25% in net revenue from operations to reach Rs 969.0 crore and stable EBITDA margins at 7.7%. Overall profitability was subdued due to closure of Bihar plant. While the plant failed to generate any revenues, higher debt servicing and depreciation costs impacted PAT margin, which declined from 2.1 % in the previous year to 0.7% in FY17-18.

The growth was led by manufacturing business which grew by 36% during the year driven by rapid scale up in the newly commissioned West Bengal plant. After commencing operations in early 2017, the plant ramped up quickly to reach 90% plus capacity utilization during FY17-18. Higher ENA prices coupled with lower raw material costs in West Bengal ensured higher spreads on bulk alcohol, though this was partly offset by lower price realizations in DDGS.

Driven by strong performance of bulk alcohol, the proportion of manufacturing business in revenues grew from 53% in FY16-17 to 58% in the year under review.

The consumer business comprising IMILgrew by 8% during the year which was driven by another year of excellent performance in Rajasthan partly offset by decline in volumes in Haryana. In Rajasthan, we edged up our market share from 30% to 32% underlining the strong acceptance of our brands in the state. While the overall alcohol sector has seen slowdown in recent times, the IMIL market in Rajasthan has been very impressive growing at a double digit rate over the last three years.

After a marginal improvement in market environment in the previous year, the operating conditions for IMIL again became very difficult in Haryana during FY17-18 also reflected in a 9% decline in industry volumes. Though we continued to maintain a double digit market share, our volumes saw a 30% decline impacting profitability.

In West Bengal, we have started making inroads into the IMIL market and there is good traction for our brands. One of the largest markets in the country, our focus is on sustained and profitable brand building.

In March 2018, in an important development, the Bihar government, pursuant to orders from the High Court, announced reversal of its earlier policy, thereby allowing renewal of distillery licenses. This means that your company is no longer restricted and can start operations in the state.

The year 2017-18 is also significant in the history of your Company as we made our foray into premium IMFL, a fast growing and highly profitable industry segment. Your Company’s subsidiary, Unibev Ltd, a venture in premium IMFL, launched its first brand in the state of Pondicherry - a premium brandy called Laffaire. The brand has received strong acceptance from consumers and channel partners.

MATERIAL CHANGES AFTER MARCH 31, 2018 AFFECTING THE COMPANY

After the launch of its first premium IMFL brand in December 2017, your Company’s subsidiary Unibev Ltd launched two premium whisky brands in the state of Karnataka in June 2018, both of which have received an encouraging response.

DIVIDEND

Your Directors do not recommend any dividend for the financial year 2017-18 because the company wants to reserve funds for its ongoing projects.

PUBLIC DEPOSITS

The Company has not accepted or invited deposits covered under the provisions of Section 73 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Acceptance of Deposit) Rules 2014 from any person during the year under Report.

THEYEAR IN PERSPECTIVE

After 3 years of extremely subdued growth, the Indian alcohol sector started showing signs of pickup in the year under review. Though growth rate was in low single digits, the macro indicators and new government schemes are encouraging and overall industry sentiment is positive.

Your company''s performance during the year under was exemplary as strong growth in consumer-facing IMIL and higher off-take in value added DDGS led to 21% increase in revenues from operations, 43% growth in EBITDA and 77% improvement in profit after tax. This resilient performance against a weak industry backdrop is attributable to your company''s strategy of straddling the spirits value chain.

The IMIL business witnessed strong traction as volumes improved by 40%, translating to revenue growth of37%. We improved our market shares in all states of operation and particularly performance in Rajasthan, where we are already the largest private player, was very reassuring.

Driven by strong performance of IMIL, the proportion of consumer business in revenues grew from 44% in FY14-15 to 51% in the year under review.

Despite solid growth in value-added DDGS, the manufacturing vertical posted a steady growth of 7% as captive consumption of bulk alcohol increased. The manufacturing operations, which form the backbone of the 360° model, improved significantly as capacity utilization increased from 77% in FY14-15 to 86% in FY15-16. This was driven by a combination of higher productivity, which has been one of the key focus areas for your company, and better on-ground management of operations.

DDGS, a value-added by product, witnessed immense traction, finding favour with the animal feed industry as an excellent protein source and replacement for more expensive protein sources like soya de-oiled cake. Your company''s efforts in product research and consumer education paid off as the long term potential for DDGS was well-established.

The work on the green-field projects progressed in line with expectations and both plants, Bihar and West Bengal, are expected to be commissioned in FY16-17. With this, your company will have a strong base to establish itself in the large and growing market of East India

MATERIAL CHANGES AFTER MARCH 31,2016 In a milestone event, your company has commissioned its first distillery in East India in Bihar on August 1, 2016. The plant has production capacity of 80 kilo litres bulk alcohol per day and will caterto demand in neighbouring states and overseas exports.

THE YEAR IN PERSPECTIVE

In the year under review, your Company reported a revenue growth of 18% driven by successful implementation of several initiatives across business verticals. Though market conditions continued to be difficult, your Company's strategy of straddling all segment of the spirits value chain paid off.

While the consumer business showed signs of revival, posting a growth of 13%, the manufacturing vertical continued to outperform with growth of 22%. As a consequence, proportion of manufacturing in revenues grew from 54% in FY13-14 to 56% in FY 14-15.

Growth in the manufacturing vertical was largely driven by higher volumes of third party bottling (38%) and improved realizations in bottling and bulk alcohol. Your Company successfully scaled up contracts with United Spirits and ABD and also started bottling for Jagatjit Industries in Rajasthan. Exports business showed strong performance growing to 3x its size in the previous year. The growth in manufacturing was aided by higher capacity utilizations at both facilities. In a major milestone, your Company launched Distiller's Dried Grains with Solubles, a value added by-product, which has application in animal feed as a valuable protein source.

In the consumer vertical, your Company witnessed strong volume growth in Rajasthan IMIL (20%) as efforts on brand building and widening of distribution reach yielded results. This was partly dampened by weak performance in Haryana, one of your Company's key markets, where adverse competitive conditions continued to persist. In a move to de- risk from geographical concentration, your Company entered the Bihar IMIL market, marking its entry in East India.

Further, your Company continued its efforts in R&D to enhance productivity, thereby reducing cost of production. Raw material prices stabilized after an extended period of high prices and volatility.

Despite delays in land acquisition, the expansion plans to East India are progressing well. Construction has started at both sites and your Company is expecting to commission both Greenfield facilities in FY2016-17.

THE YEAR IN PERSPECTIVE

During the year under review, your company was able to post a resilient performance driven by its strategy of straddling the entire alcohol chain. The manufacturing business generated healthy revenue growth of 17% offsetting the dip in consumer revenues to post flat revenues. Bulk alcohol volumes grew by 19% and bottling volumes remained strong at 26% growth. Your company successfully scaled up its contracts with ABD and USL in Rajasthan and Haryana respectively, Jagatjit Industries decided to discontinue and use their own facility in Punjab for cost optimization reasons.

The key challenge during the year was the situation in Haryana market wherein IMIL volumes remained weak and competition intensified with entry of new players. In comparison, the performance in Rajasthan market was encouraging, your company grew by 10% in volume terms and 17% in value.

To counter impact of the negative operating environment, especially in Haryana, your company successfully worked on developing new revenue streams/ markets and improving productivity. Focus on bulk alcohol exports showed good results with 15x growth. Your company did extensive ground work for manufacturing of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS), a value added by-product.

The expansion plans to East India progressed and are well on track for commissioning your company''s first distillery in the region in FY2015-16. In a further boost, your company won exclusive rights to manufacture and market IMIL in the Patna municipality for a period of 5 years starting FY2014-15.

Your company strengthened its management systems and audit practices by appointment of Big 4 Auditor and initiating implementation of a robust ERP package.
