ABDL Q1FY27: Revenue up 5.8% to ₹984 Cr, EBITDA moderated by growth investments
Allied Blenders and Distillers Limited (ABDL) reported Q1FY27 results. Standalone Income from Operations grew 5.3% to ₹975 crore, with PAT up 11.9% to ₹68 crore. Consolidated Income from Operations rose 5.8% to ₹984 crore. EBITDA was moderated by investments in premium portfolio growth. The company is focused on premiumization and expanding its international footprint to 39 countries.
The results indicate continued growth momentum and strategic investments in premiumization. However, the moderated consolidated EBITDA and PAT due to planned investments and supply chain issues suggest a mixed impact on immediate financial performance.
The results show steady topline growth, but consolidated PAT declined due to strategic investments and supply chain disruptions. While standalone performance is positive, the consolidated figures require careful consideration of the investments and external factors.
Allied Blenders and Distillers Limited (ABD) reported its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27).
Standalone, Income from Operations rose by 5.3% to ₹975 crore from ₹926 crore in Q1FY26. EBITDA increased by 14.4% to ₹140 crore from ₹122 crore, and Profit After Tax (PAT) grew by 11.9% to ₹68 crore from ₹61 crore.
On a consolidated basis, Income from Operations increased by 5.8% to ₹984 crore from ₹930 crore in Q1FY26. EBITDA was ₹120 crore, a slight increase from ₹119 crore in Q1FY26. This moderation was attributed to planned investments in the newly established super-premium to luxury portfolio under ABD Maestro, including increased advertising and sales promotion (A&P) spends and distribution expansion initiatives. Consolidated PAT was ₹45 crore, a decrease from ₹56 crore in Q1FY26. Excluding a ₹24 crore impact from global supply chain disruptions, like-to-like (LTL) EBITDA would have been ₹144 crore (up 21.4%), with LTL EBITDA margin at 14.7% and LTL PAT at ₹63 crore (up 13.6%).
Amar Sinha, Managing Director of ABD, commented that the Q1FY27 performance reflects the company's transformation journey with steady topline growth and a richer portfolio mix. He noted that while global supply chain disruptions had a short-term impact, the underlying business remains resilient. The company is focused on investing in people, strengthening brands, and accelerating its premiumization agenda, supported by backward integration projects and the margin-accretive India-UK FTA.
The Prestige & Above (P&A) portfolio delivered 9.0 million cases, a 6.2% volume growth, with the P&A category growing 10.7% year-on-year. The P&A segment's volume salience was 48.2% and value salience was 59.3%. ICONiQ White achieved 3.1 million cases, a 33.8% growth from Q1FY26.
