RADICO: Premium-led record growth lifted Q2 EBITDA margin to 20.4%

What happened

Radico Khaitan's Q2 FY27 results showed record volume, revenue and profitability. Growth in its Prestige & Above premium segment lifted the EBITDA margin to 20.4%. EBITDA margin is a measure of profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as a share of revenue.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

A higher share of premium products can lift profit per sale, since premium drinks usually earn more per unit than cheaper ones. If that mix keeps improving, Radico can grow profit faster than revenue, which supports earnings and may strengthen the investment case.

Analyst inference

The summary gives no share price, valuation or peer comparison, so market reaction cannot be judged from it. The key tension is whether premium volume near the raised 30% guidance can be delivered while the EBITDA margin holds near the roughly 20% target.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. The company raised its FY27 premium volume guidance to 30%, which means it now expects faster growth in Prestige & Above products. Watch whether quarterly premium volume keeps pace with that raised target. Confirmed
2. Track whether Radico keeps expanding its premium product mix, because a richer mix is the stated driver of the 20.4% EBITDA margin. Slower premium growth could pressure profitability. Proposed
3. Watch whether the EBITDA margin stays near the roughly 20% guidance while volume grows. Any gap would show whether premium growth alone is enough to offset costs and protect profit per sale. Analyst inference
