to thank the management for giving this opportunity of hosting the call to us. From the

now hand the call over to the management for any opening remarks. Thank you and over to you,
sir.
Pankaj Goyal: Hi. Good evening, everyone and thank you for joining us for AWL’s Q2 FY27 earnings
conference call. On behalf of AWL, I extend a warm welcome to all of you for our Q2 FY27
earnings conference call. Joining me today are members of our leadership team, who will also
be available to address your questions during the Q&A session following my remarks.
We have delivered a strong performance in Q2 FY27 with consolidated revenue growing 26%
year-on-year to INR22,202 crores, supported by underlying volume growth of 14%. Importantly,
this growth was accompanied by healthy operating profitability, reflecting the strength of our
diversified portfolio and continued execution across businesses.
Our food and FMCG business remains a key growth driver, delivering 32% revenue growth and
crossing INR2,200 crores in quarterly revenues. Let me begin with our food and FMCG
business, which remains at the center of our long-term growth strategy. Our strategy remains
clear to build one of India’s largest and most trusted food platform, and Daily Essentials and
Center of the Plate categories.
We see significant opportunities as consumption increasingly shifts towards branded and
packaged foods, particularly across staples such as rice, wheat flour, pulses, besan and sugar.
During the quarter, growth remained broad-based across our food portfolio. Our rice and flour
businesses maintained double-digit revenue growth.
Within rice, our basmati portfolio continued to gain market share while Kohinoor also delivered
double-digit revenue growth. We are particularly encouraged by the performance of Fortune
pulses, which grew over 40% year-on-year with quarterly revenue crossing INR100 crores.
Pulses remain a largely unorganized category with significant headroom for branded penetration.
We are strengthening our regional assortment and expanding distribution, including through
quick commerce to capture this opportunity. Our health and convenience portfolio is also gaining
meaningfully with LTM revenues exceeding INR1,400 crores. We continue to expand our
offering across premium, health-oriented and convenient food products supported by

innovations such as multigrain atta, olive oil, cold-pressed mustard oil and other differentiated
products.
The larger opportunity for AWL is to build multiple scalable food categories, leveraging our
trusted brands, integrated manufacturing capabilities and extensive distribution network.
Moving to edible oils, the business delivered a 5% volume growth during the quarter. Despite a
challenging operating environment, we maintained our market share supported by growth in
domestic oils, particularly mustard, groundnut and cottonseed oil.
Our focus remains on protecting our market leadership, strengthening our branded and premium
portfolio and maintaining disciplined execution in a dynamic commodity environment. Industry
Essentials delivered another strong quarter with volume growth of 25% supported by continued
momentum in oleochemicals and specialty chemicals.
Oleochemicals and specialty chemicals now contribute around 45% of segment revenue,
reflecting the increased importance of this business. Our focus is on scaling the value-added
specialty chemical portfolio, leveraging our backward integration, manufacturing scale and
access to Wilmar Group’s global R&D and formulation capabilities.
We see this as an important long-term growth and profitability driver of AWL. Coming to our
distribution and channel strategy, our direct retail reach now stands at 9.7 lakhs outlets, while
our total retail reach remains at around 26 lakhs outlet. Our focus is increasingly shifting towards
improving throughput, outlet productivity and distribution efficiencies.
Within our alternate channel, quick commerce continued to deliver strong growth of 40% year-
on-year. We remain focused on improving assortment, visibility and availability across leading
platforms, particularly for our packaged food portfolio. Our HoReCa business grew 22% with
LTM revenue crossing INR800 crores, while branded export delivered strong growth of 72%
year-on-year.
These channels are becoming increasingly important in expanding the reach of our brands and
creating additional growth opportunities for our food and FMCG portfolio. Before discussing
our financial performance, I would like to briefly reiterate our approach to reporting profitability.
We have been disclosing normalized gross profit and EBITDA to better reflect our underlying
operating profitability.
Under the Indian Accounting Standards, gain or losses on commodity derivatives used to hedge
underlying raw material exposures are classified under other income or other expenses, although
they form an integral part of our operating profitability. Accordingly, our normalized gross profit
and EBITDA are calculated after incorporating these derivative gain and losses.
Coming to our financial performance for Q2 FY27, consolidated revenue grew 26% year-on-
year to INR22,202 crores, supported by underlying volume growth of 14%. Normalized
operating EBITDA grew 11% year-on-year to INR623 crores, reflecting continued profitable
growth across our diversified businesses.
