Allied Blenders and Distillers (ABD) reported record annual EBITDA of ₹568 crore, up 25.8% year-on-year, and PAT of ₹220 crore, up 13% — both all-time highs. Q4FY26 revenue from operations grew 9.1% to ₹1,020 crore with highest-ever quarterly EBITDA of ₹182 crore, up 21.2%, and margin expansion of 179 basis points to 17.9%. However, Q4 net profit fell 52.1% to ₹38 crore due to prior-year tax adjustments. Key growth driver was the P&A (Prestige & Above) portfolio, which now accounts for 47% of volume and 57.7% of value. ICONiQ White crossed the 10-million-case milestone in March 2026, delivering 87.8% growth. The company expanded to 36 international markets and launched luxury products including a ₹11 lakh limited-edition 34-year-old single malt. The board recommended a dividend of 270% (₹5.4 per share). ABD also approved acquiring up to a 50% stake in KION Blenders for up to ₹45 crore to build a dual-mode distillery for backward integration.
Strong operational performance and margin expansion signal effective premiumisation and cost management. The 52% Q4 PAT decline raises concerns about near-term profitability, but record annual profits and the dividend payout should provide shareholder support.
