"Radico Khaitan delivered yet another quarter with IMFL volume growth despite a volatile industry performance. While most of our top markets have returned to growth in Q3 FY2021, industry performance is dispersed with a few large states still under pressure. We have seen month-on-month improvement in the industry performance during the last quarter and reported our highest ever monthly volumes during December 2020. It is a true testament to our robust brand portfolio and resilient business model. In a bid to make India 'Amtmanirbhar', government has banned BIO products in the defense markets. Given our market leadership position in CSD, this gives us an additional future opportunity for our premium brands. Raw material pricing scenario has remained broadly stable with no significant movement on Q-o-Q basis. However, compared to last year, raw material prices have been softer. Overall, we believe that the worst is behind us and we have stepped into CY2021 in high spirit and look forward to a better year ahead."
Commenting on the results and performance, Dr. Lalit Khaitan, Chairman & Managing Director said:
Commenting on the results and performance, Mr. Abhishek Khaitan, Managing Director said:
"During Q3 FY2021, we reported Prestige & Above category volume growth of 5.3% led by our key brands such as 8PM Premium Black whisky and 1965, Spirit of Victory rum. As we continue our premiumization journey, we expanded our markets for 8PM Premium Black with launch in two more states. The Company also extended the Verve premium vodka portfolio with two new flavors - Lemon Lush and Cranberry Tease. To increase our market penetration for Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin, it is now made available in three more metro cities - Hyderabad, Bangalore and Mumbai. The investment that we made in the expansion of our malt distillation and maturation capacities will start to bear fruits over the next couple of years with more quantities of Rampur Indian Single Malt being made available for the domestic market. We continue to make investments behind our premium brand portfolio which will drive the future growth. Our revenue grew by 5.6% y-o-y and EBITDA by 21.3% during Q3 FY2021. In the coming quarters, we will continue to focus on new product development and increasing market share."

Notes:
-
- The unaudited Standalone financial results of the Company, for the quarter and nine month ended December 31, 2020, have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on January 28, 2021. The statutory auditors have expressed an unmodified opinion on these results.
-
- This statement has been prepared in accordance with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other recognised accounting practices and policies to the extent applicable.
-
- As the Company's business activity falls within a single primary business segment, namely Alcohol and Alcoholic Beverages, the disclosure requirements as per Ind-AS 108 "operating segments" are not applicable.
-
- Nationwide lockdown imposed by the Government of India, w.e.f. 24th March 2020 due to the COVID -19 pandemic, has been lifted in a phased manner, as per the MHA guidelines. Accordingly, the Company's entire operations including bottling facilities have become operational with necessary safety measures.
The impact of COVID-19 in Q3 FY 2021 financial results have marginalised. The Company is having sufficient liquidity and demand for its products to continue its operations. However, the Company will continue to closely monitor, any material changes, looking at future economic conditions.
- Previous period figures have been regrouped / rearranged, wherever considered necessary. Amount of gross sale and excise duty for quarter ended December 31, 2019 (corresponding quarter) have been restated to make these comparable with the quarter ended December 31, 2020 (current quarter). However, such adjustment has no impact on net sales or profitability for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and has no impact on results for the nine months ended December 31, 2019.
