Chairman’s Message

(a PepsiCo franchisee)

Commenting on the performance for Q2 & H1 CY2025, Mr. Ravi Jaipuria, Chairman – Varun Beverages Limited said:

“We delivered a resilient performance during the quarter. In-spite of unusually early onset of monsoon rains in the peak summer months in India, we could keep our realizations per case and EBITDA margins intact. Due to growth in international markets supported by strong positive currency movement in Africa territories, Company ended the quarter with a positive PAT, in-spite of 3% decline in consolidated sales volumes

In International markets, Varun Beverages Morocco has commenced commercial production of PepsiCo’s snacks product ‘Cheetos’. This marks another milestone in strengthening our presence in the high-potential snack category, complementing our beverage portfolio and diversifying our revenue streams.

We continue to focus on growth opportunities in South Africa market. We have enhanced capacity by setting up a can line in Durban, one of our existing production facilities. We are awaiting approval from Competition Commission of South Africa for land parcel purchase adjoining to our production facility in Boksburg to further enhance capacity & backward integration. These are few starting steps in our series of initiatives.

Strong currency and our efforts in implementing backward integration last year have resulted in enhanced profitability in all our African territories. We have further strengthened Zambia, DRC and South Africa subsidiary balance sheets and through in-process equity infusion raising our stake in Zambia from 90% to 95%.

In line with our dividend policy, the Board of Directors has approved a second interim dividend of 25% of face value, i.e., Rs. 0.50 per share, resulting in a total cash outflow of approximately Rs. 1,691 million.

Although unseasonal rains have impacted performance during the quarter, we have successfully navigated such challenges in the past and emerged stronger. We continue to strengthen our on-ground execution by adding more visi-coolers and ensuring wider product availability across retail touchpoints. With robust capacities now operational, an expanding product portfolio, and a sharply focused distribution network, we are well-positioned to capture emerging opportunities and drive sustainable, long-term value creation for all stakeholders.”

(a PepsiCo franchisee)

Sales Volumes / Net Revenues

• Consolidated sales volume declined by 3.0% to 389.7 million cases in Q2 CY2025 from 401.6 million cases in Q2 CY2024, primarily due

to abnormally high unseasonal rainfall through out the quarter in India.

India volumes declined by 7.1% while International volumes grew by 15.1% (South Africa growing at 16.1%), partially offsetting the overall decline.

The net realization per case at the consolidated level increased by 0.5% driven by 6.6% improvement in the International markets.

• Net Revenue from operations decreased by 2.5% in Q2 CY2025 to Rs. 70,173.7 million from Rs. 71,968.6 million in Q2 CY2024.

Gross Margins / EBITDA

• EBITDA margins increased by 82 bps in Q2 CY2025 to 28.5% from 27.7% in Q2 CY2024 in-spite of increase in fixed overheads due to new

• EBITDA margins increased on account of operational efficiencies and strong currency in international territories.

• Gross margins remained steady at 54.5% in Q2 CY2025 and EBITDA remained steady at Rs. 19,987.7 million.

PAT

• PAT increased by 5.0% to Rs. 13,254.9 million in Q2 CY2025 from Rs. 12,618.3 million in Q2 CY2024 driven by operational efficiencies and

lower finance cost.

• Depreciation increased by 26.3% on account of commissioning of new plants in India & DRC, as well as brownfield expansion in other

international markets.

• Post repayment of debt from QIP proceeds, finance cost in India is negligible, in the International markets finance cost is primarily in

South Africa which also includes the fair value adjustment of leases as per Ind AS 116.
