Varun Beverages reported strong Q1 CY2026 results with consolidated sales volumes growing 16.3% YoY (14.4% India, 21.4% international). Revenue increased 18.1% to Rs. 65,742 million, EBITDA rose 21% to Rs. 15,289 million with margins improving 55 bps to 23.3%. PAT grew 20.1% to Rs. 8,787 million. The company completed acquisition of Twizza in South Africa (revenue ~Rs. 800 crore) and signed agreement for Crickley Dairy (~Rs. 160 crore). New product launches including Sting Classic, Ad-Rush energy drink, and Tropicana PET are performing well. Management is bullish on 5-10 years of double-digit growth, citing strong summer trends, aggressive distribution expansion (adding ~500,000 outlets), and sufficient raw material inventory (6 months) to navigate inflationary pressures.
Strong execution and margin improvement signal operational leverage from new plants and distribution expansion. The acquisitions in South Africa and new product launches expand growth avenues, while management's confidence in sustaining margins despite input inflation is a positive signal for shareholders.
