Radico Khaitan Q2 Net Profit Rises 65% To Rs 231 Cr

What happened

Radico Khaitan reported a 65 per cent rise in net profit to Rs 231 crore for the September quarter, up from Rs 140 crore a year earlier. Revenue grew 17 per cent to Rs 1,745 crore, while premium liquor volumes rose 36 per cent.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Selling more premium liquor lifts profit per sale, which means each case earns more money. That helped Ebitda margin, a measure of operating profit, expand to 20.5 per cent. Higher profit gives the company more cash available to fund growth and returns.

Analyst inference

The company raised its premium volume growth forecast to 30 per cent for FY27 while keeping its Ebitda margin guidance near 20 per cent. That signals management expects premium demand to keep driving revenue and profit, rather than relying on overall volume growth.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Radico Khaitan retained its Ebitda margin guidance at around 20 per cent, so watch whether operating profit margin holds near that level as premium volumes grow. Confirmed
2. The company has proposed raising its Prestige & Above volume growth forecast to 30 per cent for FY27, so watch whether reported premium volumes actually reach that pace in coming quarters. Proposed
3. Watch whether total IMFL volume growth, which was 7.2 per cent, improves alongside premium sales, since weak mass volumes could limit overall revenue gains. Analyst inference
