Associated Alcohols & Breweries Limited has released the transcript of its Investor Conference Call held on May 20, 2026, to discuss the earnings presentation for the Quarter and Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2026 (Q4 FY26).
The call featured insights from Whole-Time Director and CEO, Mr. Anshuman Kedia; Whole-Time Director, Mr. Tushar Bhandari; and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Dilip Kumar Inani. Mr. Kedia highlighted a year of meaningful progress in FY26, marked by disciplined execution and strategic expansion, with a particular focus on strengthening proprietary IMFL brands, which saw a 32% year-on-year volume growth. The company expanded into new markets like Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Odisha, while solidifying its presence in core markets such as MP and Kerala, where it gained 1.5% market share, becoming the third-largest private player.
Significant strategic moves included the acquisition of SDF Industries Limited in Kerala to enhance operational efficiencies and bottling capabilities. The company also transitioned its Inbrew business from an IMFL licensing agreement to a contract manufacturing model, which impacted overall top-line growth but aligned with the strategy to strengthen core IMFL proprietary brands. A new 6,000 KLPD malt facility was commissioned, with plans to launch a single malt within 18 months.
Mr. Bhandari detailed the performance of the proprietary IMFL portfolio, which achieved 37% year-on-year volume growth in Q4 FY26. The Central Province portfolio grew by nearly 28% year-on-year, with Orange CP Vodka gaining a 25% market share in Madhya Pradesh within six months of launch. The company aims for its proprietary IMFL business to contribute 50% of its overall top line in the next four to five years.
Financially, for Q4 FY26, net revenue stood at ₹239 crore. EBITDA grew by 13% year-on-year to ₹40 crore, with an EBITDA margin of 17%, and PAT increased by 5% year-on-year to ₹24 crore, resulting in a PAT margin of 10%. The proprietary IMFL portfolio showed strong volume growth of 37% to 6.6 lakh cases, with revenue up 38% to ₹50 crore and a record EBITDA margin of 22%. IMIL volumes were 9.8 lakh cases with revenue up 7% to ₹62 crore and an EBITDA margin of 20%. Ethanol volumes decreased by 35% to 4 million liters due to oversupply, but the company anticipates improvement with potential changes in the ethanol blending policy. Merchant ENA volumes surged by 129% year-on-year to 6.9 million liters, with revenue increasing by 128% to ₹47 crore.
Looking ahead, the company projects a 10% plus revenue growth for FY27, with higher growth expected from FY28 onwards driven by the launch of single malt whiskey. The IMFL business is expected to grow at 25% to 30%. The company provided an EBITDA guidance of around 15% for FY27. The acquisition of SDF Industries in Kerala for ₹30 crore, with ₹10 crore earmarked for modernization, aims to enhance operational efficiencies and market presence. New product launches include RTD 'Kultur' (soft-launched in Madhya Pradesh) and plans for brandy and tequila launches in H1 FY27. The company also expects to launch its single malt in FY28.
