Company Update: Premiumisation and changes in policies helps Radico outperform - In Q3FY21 against industry degrowth of 1%, Radico’s volumes grew by 0.7% for IMFL segment (82% of the topline) driven by Prestige and Above (P&A) volume growth of 5%. Radico achieved highest ever monthly volumes in December 2020. With the exception of Q1FY21, Radico has delivered year-over-year growth in every quarter since Q3FY18. Top liquor consuming states such as , , , Uttaranchal, , , etc., have delivered Y-o-Y growth in Q3FY21 but some of the large states are still lagging with being the most affected (4% of the mix vs. 8% Y- o-Y). Change in the UP excise policy to move from the monopolistic distribution to a free market benefited the Company as Radico enjoys a strong positioning in the state. Lot of states are looking to adopt UP’s model which shall boost overall industry volumes. Ban on imported liquor in CSD gave a boost to premium brands and it also provides Radico an opportunity to consolidate its no. 1 position (~30% market share) in CSD. New launches as well expanding portfolio in newer markets will grow P&A portfolio.

Benign raw material prices drive margins - Gross margin expanded by 230 bps from 48.5% to 50.8% during Q3FY21. Margin expansion during the period was primarily due to a stable raw material pricing scenario apart from improved realization, better product mix and higher exports. EBITDA margin expanded by 235 bps due to gross margin improvements and cost rationalization. A&P expense increased by 37% as Radico continues to aggressively invest in its brands to gain market share and continue the premiumisation journey. Finance cost in Q3FY21 decreased by 33.5% from Rs. 8.10 Cr to Rs. 5.9 Cr on account of debt reduction and lower interest cost. PAT in Q3FY21 witnessed a sharp growth of 29.5% to Rs.80.5 Cr due to improved operating performance. As of 31st December 2020, the net debt stood at Rs. 255 Cr vs Rs. 382 Cr on 31st March 2020, the management has further guided to make Radico debt free duly supported by its improving cash flows. The management has guided the gross margin to be in the range of 50-52% in Q4 and in FY22 on the expectation of favorable raw material prices.

New launches to spur revenue growth - The continued focus on new launches and brand extensions has been key driver of Radico’s growth over past few years and this trend is likely to continue in future. Jaisalmer which was earlier launched only in Delhi and Goa has now been launched in other metro cities and management plans to roll it out on pan-India basis in the current calendar year.
