Associated Alcohols & Breweries Limited (AABL) reported a solid performance in its Q4 results 2026 cycle, with stronger profitability and growing contribution from premium liquor brands helping offset a decline in overall revenue. The company continued to strengthen its product mix strategy, focusing on higher-margin proprietary brands and operational efficiency.
For FY26, gross revenue stood at Rs 10,333 million, down 6% from Rs 10,966 million in FY25, while net revenue from operations declined 5% to Rs 10,194 million. Despite lower revenue, earnings improved significantly as EBITDA rose 12% year-over-year to Rs 1,429 million. EBITDA margin expanded by 200 basis points to 14%, reflecting better cost management and improved product economics.
Net profit after tax increased 9% to Rs 885 million, while basic earnings per share rose 5% to Rs 47.42. The company also maintained a strong financial profile with a negative net debt-to-equity ratio of -0.09x and interest coverage of 23x.
A key growth driver was the proprietary IMFL business. Volume in the segment increased 32% year-over-year to 1.8 million cases, while revenue climbed 29% to Rs 2,378 million. Segment EBITDA surged 38%, with margins improving to 18% from 17% a year earlier.
The company also strengthened its expansion plans through the acquisition of SDF Industries in Kerala for Rs 30.85 crore, aimed at increasing in-house bottling capacity. Looking ahead, AABL plans to launch premium Brandy and Tequila products in H1FY27 while targeting proprietary brands to contribute nearly 50% of revenue, excluding ethanol, by FY30.
Over the last decade, AABL has delivered a consistent growth trend, reporting revenue CAGR of 13%, EBITDA CAGR of 14%, and PAT CAGR of 20%, indicating a continued shift toward premium and higher-margin businesses.
