Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Sula Vineyards filed its Q1 FY26 investor presentation with the exchanges. Revenue from Operations stood at Rs. 118.3 Cr, down 7.9% YoY (essentially flat at +0.2% YoY excluding a one-time WIPS unwinding benefit of Rs. 10.4 Cr booked in Q1 FY25). Own Brands sales were Rs. 102.3 Cr (down 10.8% YoY, or -1.8% excluding the WIPS benefit), while Wine Tourism posted a record quarter at Rs. 13.7 Cr, up 22% YoY on higher footfalls and occupancy of 82%. Operating EBITDA fell 46.1% YoY (or -22.1% excluding the WIPS benefit) to Rs. 18.3 Cr, with margins contracting ~1,096 bps YoY due to urban demand softness, a Maharashtra excise duty hike on spirits that disrupted June wine placements, and a change in wine tourism sourcing model that lifted COGS by 500 bps. The company guided to delivering healthy operating profit growth for the remainder of FY26 and outlined a 3-year (FY25-FY28) target of accelerating earnings growth with improved EBITDA margins and capital efficiency.
Headline Q1 numbers look weak, but the decline is largely explained by a non-recurring base effect and temporary demand disruptions. Investors should focus on the record wine tourism performance, continued premiumization (Elite & Premium now 74.7% of mix), upcoming resort and capacity expansions, and management's explicit 3-year guidance for margin improvement as the key forward-looking positives.
