The acquisition of a new estate also adds to the material impact.

This balance leads to a neutral sentiment.
Sula Vineyards Limited has released the transcript of its Q1 FY27 Earnings Conference Call, which was held on August 7, 2026. The call covered the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Management, including Founder and CEO Mr. Rajeev Samant and CFO Ms. Rinku More, discussed the company's performance and answered investor questions.
During the call, Mr. Samant highlighted a 3% revenue growth in Q1 FY27, driven by a recovery in the Own Brands business (2% growth) and continued double-digit growth in Wine Tourism (12% growth). The Elite & Premium portfolio within Own Brands grew by 6%, reaching an all-time high share of 78%. Flagship brands like The Source and RASA showed strong double-digit growth, with plans to expand their distribution pan-India. The company also introduced two new wines under The Source portfolio.
The Economy & Popular portfolio faced pressure due to competitor discounting. Regionally, Telangana showed strong double-digit growth (over 50%), while Karnataka remained soft. Sula Vineyards received preliminary approval for five additional brand listings in CSD, expecting to complete the process by Q3 FY27.
Wine Tourism revenue grew 12% to ₹15.5 crore, contributing 13% to overall revenue. Growth was attributed to higher room revenues from The Haven resort and increased spend per guest. Expansion projects, including an amphitheater expansion and a new events pavilion, are progressing as planned. The acquisition of the former Chandon estate, now renamed Domain RASA, for ₹20 crore, is complete, with winery operations set to commence in Q4 FY27.
Profitability was impacted by higher blended grape costs and an adverse geographical sales mix. However, strategic cost initiatives led to a 3% reduction in operating expenses. The company expects EBITDA margins to recover and surpass previous levels by the end of FY27. The new CFO, Ms. Rinku More, was introduced during the call.
Net revenue from operations increased by 3% year-on-year to ₹121 crore in Q1 FY27. Gross profit declined by 5% due to the shift in grape procurement mix towards wine grapes and an adverse geographical sales mix. Employee benefit expenses reduced by 6%, contributing to a 3% reduction in operating expenses. Net debt stood at ₹319 crore at the end of June 2026.
