United Breweries reported FY2026 profit after tax of Rs 41,316 Lakhs, down 6.3% from Rs 44,117 Lakhs in FY2025. Revenue from operations (gross of excise duty) declined to Rs 17,45,621 Lakhs from Rs 19,40,080 Lakhs, a drop of about 10%. The company declared an EPS of Rs 15.63 versus Rs 16.69 in the prior year. Exceptional items include a Rs 7,404 Lakhs gain from sale of freehold land and Rs 1,873 Lakhs labour code implementation costs. Short-term borrowings doubled to Rs 1,17,526 Lakhs from Rs 57,485 Lakhs previously. Finance costs increased nearly 6x to Rs 7,172 Lakhs. The board recommended dividend of Rs 10 per share (Rs 26,441 Lakhs total). Auditors issued an unqualified opinion with emphasis of matter on two ongoing legal matters.
The revenue decline and PAT contraction are concerning signals for investors. However, the exceptional land sale gain and dividend declaration provide some support. The doubling of borrowings and surge in finance costs warrant monitoring for financial health. The ongoing Rs 75,183 Lakhs CCI penalty case and Bihar plant dispute remain key contingent risks.
