Revenue & Sales Performance

The company expects flattish revenue growth for the entire FY '26, with Q4 anticipated to deliver more than 25% revenue growth driven by RTD launch and IMFL proprietary brands.
Proprietary IMFL volume grew 32% YoY to 1.7 million cases for 9 months FY '26; the company aims to continue growing this segment aggressively.
Licensed IMFL volumes declined due to franchisee business conversion but excluding Inbrew, a 3-4% volume growth is expected in licensed brands.
Expansion focus is on growing proprietary brands and geographic expansion into high potential states like Maharashtra, UP, Jharkhand.
The Central Province brand is targeted to become a million case brand, focusing on popular segment alongside premium and above segments.
New product launches including premium tequila, Nicobar Gin, and RTDs will support future growth and premiumization.
Working capital requirements expected to remain stable or slightly increase based on sales growth in key regions.

Profitability & Margins

Revenue for Q4 FY '26 is expected to grow more than 25%, driven by RTD launch and IMFL proprietary brands (Page 13).
EBITDA margins improved to 16% in Q3 FY '26 due to softening raw material prices and growth in proprietary brands; margins expected to stabilize with potential growth post full portfolio launch (Pages 4, 12).

Expansion into new markets with a combination of popular and premium brands supports top-line and margin growth (Pages 9, 13).
