Management Commentary

We are pleased to report that our company has achieved remarkable performance during FY2023. We registered a total income of Rs 8,080 mn which has been the highest ever achieved by us; which grew by 121.1% on YoY basis. Our EBITDA was Rs 1,034 mn, which registered a growth of 5.2x on YoY basis and net profit was Rs 603 mn with a margin of 7.5%. This reflects the successful implementation of strategies and efforts to achieve sustainable growth and profitability. Our beer and volumes have grown at an annual rate of 2.1x and 1.5x respectively, which indicates both the high quality of our product and our company's alignment with our customers' preferences.

We are optimistic about the prospects of SOM and believe that our long-term equity story will continue to be strong. Our focus will remain on maximizing the utilization level across our plants to generate strong cash flows, which will, in turn, drive value for our shareholders.

We are evaluating various strategic opportunities like bottling arrangements, acquisitions or setting up new units to further our reach in the country.
