Management Commentary

The performance of the Company during the first half of the year was very encouraging. We recorded beer volume growth of over 223% y-o-y, and IMFL growth of over 65% y-o-y. This has led to a topline growth of 213% y-o-y.

Our industry is seasonal and is affected by monsoon and festivals. However, we have able to overcome the seasonality trend and post encouraging results which have set a trend for the future.

All our mainstream brands have performed well in their specific market. We resulting in anticipate our volume growth trajectory to continue, improvement of utilization levels.

We have also entered into a contract manufacturing arrangement with Radico Khaitan for manufacturing their IMFL and Ready to Drink brands at our plant at Hassan, Karnataka. This will lead to better utilization levels of the IMFL facility.
