Som Distilleries Q1 FY27 Results: Revenue Down 49% to ₹268.8 Cr, PAT Drops 96% to ₹1.6 Cr
Som Distilleries reported Q1 FY27 results with Total Income down 49% to ₹268.8 crore and PAT down 96% to ₹1.6 crore due to operational disruptions. The company commenced production at its UP facility and saw recovery in Karnataka and Odisha. Management is confident about future performance.
The sharp drop in financial metrics, particularly PAT, and the operational disruptions at a key facility have a material impact on the company's financial health and investor sentiment.
The company reported a significant year-on-year decline in revenue, EBITDA, and PAT, indicating a negative financial performance for the quarter. While there are positive aspects like new capacity and market recovery, the overall financial results are substantially weaker.
Som Distilleries & Breweries Limited (SDBL) has announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company reported a significant decline in its financial performance for Q1 FY2026-27 compared to the previous year.
Total Volume for the quarter stood at 45.79 lakh cases, marking a 48% year-on-year decrease. This decline was primarily driven by a 47% YoY drop in beer volume to 45.00 lakh cases and an 88% YoY decrease in IMFL volume to 0.51 lakh cases. Consequently, Total Income fell by 49% to ₹268.8 crore. The company's EBITDA saw a sharp 79% decline to ₹15.2 crore, with the EBITDA margin contracting to 5.70% from 13.60% in the prior year's quarter. Profit After Tax (PAT) plummeted by 96% to ₹1.6 crore, resulting in a PAT margin of 0.62% compared to 7.90% in Q1 FY26.
The company attributed the performance disruption to temporary license-related issues at its Bhopal facility, which materially reduced operating volumes and impacted earnings. Higher raw material and packaging costs also pressured margins. However, SDBL highlighted resilience in other markets, with Karnataka and Odisha showing strong recovery trends. The commercial production at the new Uttar Pradesh facility, with an added capacity of 10 million cases of beer, commenced in Q1 FY2026-27, providing a new growth platform.
Despite the challenging quarter, the balance-sheet leverage remained stable, with the Gross Debt/Equity ratio at 0.31x as of June 2026. The company is focused on operational recovery, asset utilization, and expanding its premium product portfolio. Management remains confident about the underlying business, anticipating improved conditions and leveraging the expanded manufacturing footprint for the remainder of FY2026-27. The Investor Presentation also detailed strategic initiatives including market share gains, local manufacturing replication, premiumization, and the expansion of brands like Mahavat, Power Cool, and Sunny Beaches. The company also highlighted its ESG profile and brand recognition, including Woodpecker Premium Beer being named India’s Leading Brand – Rising Star 2025.
