and Mr. Ramakrishnan Ramaswamy, Chief Financial Officer.
Now I would like to hand over the call to our MD, Mr. Amar Sinha, who will give you the
summary of the company's quarterly performance before we open up for Q&A. Over to you,
Amar.
Amar Sinha: Good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining us today for ABD's Q1 FY27 Earnings Call.
I am pleased to speak with you for the first time as Managing Director of Allied Blenders and
Distillers Limited. I would like to begin by thanking our shareholders, analysts, investors,
partners and employees for their continued trust and support as ABD moves ahead on its
transformation journey.
ABD has entered FY '27 with a stronger portfolio, a sharper operating model, and a clear focus
on building a future-ready spirit’s company.
Our priorities remain consistent, premiumization-led growth, stronger consumer engagement,
disciplined execution, backward integration, and prudent capital allocation.
On Q1 FY27 performance review, it reflects continued progress on its transformation journey,
supported by top line growth, premiumization and disciplined execution across the business.
On a consolidated basis, income from operations stood at ₹984 crores compared to ₹930 crores
in Q1 FY26, reflecting growth of 5.8% year-on-year. Total volume stood at 9 million cases,
growing 6.2% year-on-year. The growth was supported by continued momentum in the Prestige
and Above portfolio, which grew 10.7%, while Mass Premium and others grew 2.3% during the

quarter. Importantly, ABD's volume performance was ahead of the industry where the P&A
segment grew in the low single digits and Mass Premium and others remained broadly stable on
a year-on-year basis.
Gross margin expanded by 277 basis points to 46%, supported by a favorable input cost
environment and early benefits from backward integration despite the temporary impact of
global supply chain disruptions.
Reported EBITDA stood at ₹120 crores compared to ₹119 crores in Q1 FY26 with EBITDA
margin at 12.2%. PAT stood at ₹45 crores compared to ₹56 crores in Q1 FY26.
Profitability was impacted by global supply chain disruptions, which had an estimated impact of
₹24 crores during the quarter. On a like-to-like basis, excluding the impact of global supply
chain disruptions, gross margin would have been 48.4%, reflecting an expansion of 522 basis
points year-on-year. EBITDA would have been ₹144 crores, higher by 21.4% year-on-year with
EBITDA margin at 14.7%, reflecting an expansion of 189 basis points. Like-to-like PAT would
have been ₹63 crores, higher by 13.6% year-on-year. This reflects the underlying strength of our
operating performance, supported by premium mix improvement, gross margin expansion, and
disciplined execution.
Portfolio premiumization and brand momentum. Premiumization remains central to ABD's
growth strategy. In Q1 FY '27, the Prestige & Above segment contributed 48.2% of volumes
and 59.3% of value compared to 46.2% and 55.8% respectively in Q1 FY26.
ICONiQ White continues to lead this momentum. The brand delivered 3.1 million cases in Q1
FY27 compared to 2.3 million cases in Q1 FY26 with a monthly average of 1 million plus cases
resulting in a growth of 33.8% in the quarter on year-on-year basis. It also continues to be
recognized as the world's fastest-growing millionaire whisky brand for 3 consecutive calendar
years 2023, 2024 and 2025.
ICONiQ White is now operating at a meaningful scale supported by domestic market
penetration, the defense channel, and an expanding international presence.
In the Mass Premium and other category, which has grown by 2.3% on a year-on-year basis,
predominantly led by the key markets in Northern and Southern regions in the whisky and
brandy categories.
Also, Officer's Choice remains a strong cash flow generator and continues to hold leadership in
India's Mass Premium Whisky category while also retaining its position as India's number 1
exported Whisky brand.
Super premium and luxury portfolio performance. ABD Maestro continues to be an important
platform for our super premium to luxury ambition. In its first year of operations, that is FY26,

we have established a differentiated portfolio of 10 brands with unique positioning across
Whisky, gin, vodka and rum categories.
In the current year, the focus is on expanding the width of distribution, deeper penetration in the
addressable markets and strong consumer engagement. We have now expanded our presence in
Odisha and Telangana as well, increased our premium touch points to over 5,500. The portfolio
is now available in 6 international markets and 4 travel retail locations.
During the quarter, we continued to strengthen the visibility and positioning of our ABD Maestro
