United Breweries Limited held its Board meeting on May 5, 2026, where it approved the audited financial results for FY 2025-26 and recommended a dividend of Rs.10 per equity share (face value Rs.1 each). The total dividend payout amounts to Rs.26,441 Lakhs, subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing AGM, with payment to be made on or before September 10, 2026. For FY 2026, the company's revenue from operations (gross of excise duty) declined to Rs.17,45,621 Lakhs from Rs.19,40,080 Lakhs in the previous year. Net profit for the year stood at Rs.41,316 Lakhs (standalone) compared to Rs.44,117 Lakhs in FY 2025, reflecting a decline in profitability. EPS for FY 2026 was Rs.15.63 versus Rs.16.69 in the prior year. The company also noted exceptional items including a gain of Rs.7,404 Lakhs from sale of freehold land and impact of Rs.1,873 Lakhs due to new labour codes.
The dividend recommendation signals stable cash returns to shareholders despite a decline in annual profits and revenue. The profit decline may create some near-term pressure on the stock, though the consistent dividend payout demonstrates management confidence in the company's financial stability.
