Aim to maintain advertising and sales promotion spends @ 6-8 pc of company’s revenues

Rampur Single malt – now available in 14 states in India
Jaisalmer Gin – now available in 20 states in India
Royal Ranthambore premium Whisky – now available in 19 states in India
Magic moments Vodka – commanding 59 pc Mkt share in Vodka Mkt in India. Launched a new variant -Remix Pink in Q3
8 PM premium – crossed 3 million cases within 3 yrs of launch. Growing strongly
Morpheus Brandy – commanding 59 pc mkt share in Brandy Mkt in India
New Launch – Spirit of Victory 1999 – in Luxury category ( like Rampur, priced at > Rs 5000/bottle )
Witnessing high inflation in the Grain prices ( a key RM )
The success of Magic Moments, 8 PM premium and Morpheus is giving them a lot of strength in retail trade to push luxury brands like – Jaisalmer, Rampur, Ranthambhore
See pressure to continue in the regular brands in Q4 as well. Prestige and Above should continue to grow. Also, the company’s focus is skewed towards prestige and above brands
Likely to continue to sell 430-450 cr kind of non-IMFL sales for some time to come. This is a low EBITDA kind of business with margins @ 5-6 pc. As the prestige and above sales ramp up over time, company will divert the Sitapur plant’s output towards making Prestige and Above brands away from Non-IMFL business. This is a gradual process
Aim to be debt free in 2 yrs. Most of the heavy capex is behind them
As the inflationary pressures ease, the profitability and volumes of regular brands should improve in next FY
Company’s Mkt share in spirits in fast growing UP mkt is a whopping 28 pc
In 3-5 yrs, aiming for 55-60 pc of volumes and 80 pc of sales coming from prestige and above category
Looking at new launches in future to fill portfolio gaps… like for eg – brands opposite BP, Royal Stag etc
Disc: holding from lower levels, stock continues to command expensive valuations, will add only on steep falls, biased, not SEBI registered
