United Spirits continued its strong momentum in Q4, reporting 8% YoY growth in volumes mainly led by resilience in off-trade channels and strong performance of prestige and above segment. Net revenues grew 12% YoY to Rs. 2224 crore (I-direct estimate: Rs. 1991 crore) in spite of softer on-trade channel. Prestige & above segment volumes grew 19% YoY to 10 million cases while popular segment reported largely flat volumes at 9.7 million cases. EBITDA margins expanded 490 bps YoY to 18.5% and came in above I-direct estimate of 16%, due to better product mix and improved productivity (gross margins were at 43.9% vs. 42.2% in Q4FY20). EBITDA grew 52% YoY to Rs. 412 crore. Subsequently, reported PAT grew 6x to Rs. 167 crore on a weak base (I-direct estimate of Rs. 177 crore), as strong operational performance was negated by an exceptional expense of Rs. 76 crore.
