United Spirits Ltd reported a net sales value (NSV) of ₹3,054 crore in Q4FY26, up 3.7 per cent increase from the year-ago period. The company posted a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹568 crore for the quarter.
For the full fiscal year, the company’s NSV stood at ₹12,467 crore, or a 7.7 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) growth, while PAT came in at ₹1,709 crore, up from ₹1,582 crore in FY25.
On a standalone basis, the Prestige & Above (P&A) segment grew 5 per cent during Q4 – which also witnessed the adverse impact of Maharashtra Made Liquor (MML) on both the popular and lower prestige segments in the State.
Excluding Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, at a national level, the overall portfolio as well as P&A segment delivered a growth of 8.5 per cent in Q4. However, NSV for the popular segment declined 13.2 per cent, mainly due to MML impact in the salient State.
Going premium
Praveen Someshwar, CEO & Managing Director, commenting on the FY26 performance, said, “We have delivered a resilient fiscal 2026 amidst an adverse policy in a salient State. The core portfolio at a national level, barring the impacted State, has delivered a broad-based and healthy double-digit growth setting us up for a strong FY27. We welcome the progressive policy in the State of Karnataka, which has the potential to provide a fillip to the premiumisation journey in the State. This, along with UK-FTA on the anvil, bodes well for our business and gives us confidence to deliver on our medium-term guidance of double-digit growth.”
He noted that during the quarter, the Board of Directors approved the sale of “our 100 per cent stake in Royal Challengers Sports Private Limited (RCSPL)” in March. The transaction is subject to the receipt of all requisite approvals, including from the CCI and the BCCI.
“This transaction further enables us to sharpen our focus on the core beverage alcohol business,” he shared.
Total volumes for the quarter were 15.7 million cases, compared with 16.6 million cases in the corresponding period last year.
USL’s shared closed at ₹1,275.00, up by 1.38 per cent. Results were announced post market closure.
