Associated Alcohols Q4FY26: Revenue Declines 2% YoY to ₹238.5 Cr; PAT Up 5% to ₹23.5 Cr
Associated Alcohols & Breweries Ltd. reported Q4 FY26 revenue of ₹238.5 crore, down 2% YoY. PAT rose 5% to ₹23.5 crore, with EBITDA margin improving to 17%. IMFL Proprietary volumes grew 37% YoY. The company acquired SDF Industries for ₹30.85 crore to enhance bottling operations in Kerala.
The revenue decline is a concern, but improved margins, strong IMFL proprietary growth, and the strategic acquisition of SDF Industries indicate potential for future growth. The credit rating upgrade also provides a positive signal.
While PAT and EBITDA margins improved, revenue saw a slight decline. The acquisition is a positive step, but the subdued performance in ethanol sales and revenue dip temper an overly positive outlook.
Associated Alcohols & Breweries Limited announced its earnings presentation for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. The company reported a 2% year-on-year decline in net revenues from operations for Q4 FY26, standing at ₹2,385 million (₹238.5 crore). However, gross profit margin increased to 49% from 43% YoY, driven by softening raw material prices. EBITDA margin improved by 200 basis points to 17%, supported by operational efficiency. Profit After Tax (PAT) increased by 5% YoY to ₹235 million (₹23.5 crore) despite the flattish topline. The company's long-term credit rating improved from 'A- Stable' to 'A- Positive'.
In operational updates, IMFL Proprietary volumes grew by 37% YoY, with ENA sales volume increasing by 129% YoY to 7 million liters in Q4 FY26. The company is focusing on its IMFL Proprietary Brands, particularly the Central Province Series, and has soft-launched RTD in Madhya Pradesh. Premium Brandy and Tequila are slated for launch in H1 FY27. Ethanol sales remained subdued due to industry oversupply. The company entered Odisha in Q1 FY27 and acquired SDF Industries in April 2026 to strengthen its in-house bottling operations in Kerala.
For the full fiscal year FY26, net revenue from operations was ₹10,194 million (₹1,019.4 crore), a 5% decrease YoY. EBITDA increased by 12% to ₹1,429 million (₹142.9 crore) with an improved EBITDA margin of 14%. PAT grew by 9% to ₹885 million (₹88.5 crore) with a PAT margin of 9%. The company aims to become a pan-India player, solidifying its position in Madhya Pradesh and Kerala, and increasing market share in states like Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh, while targeting entry into Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. The acquisition of SDF Industries for ₹30.85 crore is expected to commence operations by September 2026 post-facility upgrade.
