The overall strategy has been to focus on growth of its mainline brands and development of New Brands through in-house research and innovation. The company closed the year with Sales volume of close to 14.6 million cases, where sales of all the key brands grew significantly over the last fiscal.

 

Company's policy of premiumization of branded portfolio is now paying well as is evident from growth in sale volume of their Magic Moments Vodka. Magic Moments saw a volume growth of 39% over last year and closed the year with sale volume of 1.42 mn c/s. Launch of their new "Morpheus" Super Premium Brandy was also a success with brand witnessing sale of 80K case in the launch year itself. They expect good growth in the current year. Company was able to get the price increase from the trade and thus improved its sale realization per c/s and also the operating margins through a mix of improvement in saliency of premium brand as well as the price increases. Molasses prices after going through the roof in the first quarter of 2009-10 started falling and are now in comfort Zone. Due to the improvement in the acreage, yield as well as hike in the minimum support prices of Sugarcane by the state Govt, they hope that it should result in higher Molasses Production in the country in the Sugar Year 2010-11, which would further ease off pressure on Molasses Prices and enable them to improve their margins.

FUTURE STRATEGY AND GROWTH:

Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) industry is growing steadily over the last decade with many enablers working in its favour on the back of improved demography, increasing social acceptance, favorable bias towards Spirits and consistent growth in GDP. The IMFL has grown at a CAGR of over 10% in volumes and over 12% in value term during the period CY03-09 which is expected to be maintained or even -escalate over the next few years. The Alcoholic Beverage industry in India comprises of five key segments, that is, beer, wine, IMFL, bottled in origin alcoholic products and country liquor. IMFL consists of whisky, rum, brandy and white spirits (gin and vodka). IMFL space is one of the fastest growing and lucrative markets in the world. Another important trend witnessed in this segment is the premiumisation in brandy, whisky and vodka. In June 10, Company introduced another whisky brand, "After Dark" Whisky, in the Premium segment and initial response  is quite encouraging. Product offers a perfect mix of quality blend and packaging and is targeted towards young population. Their Product portfolio now offers brands in each flavour to the consumers in the semi premium / premium segments of the market. The Company has been successful in launch of three brands each in Vodka, Brandy and whisky categories in span of last 4 years in the semi premium/premium category and they believe that with growing IMFL market in these categories, the operating performance should improve substantially in coming years. Company is proud to have four millionaire brands in its portfolio, which have been developed inhouse over last 12 years. With the Launch of "After Dark" and "Eagles Dare" whiskies in the Premium segment, they have completed their product offerings for now. Their full concentration from now is to expand their volumes by focusing on growth of premium brands and consolidating their portfolio in regular segment. 8 PM Whisky volume growth has not been in line with their expectations and they are fully conscious of this fact. They have conducted detailed market research for the brand and as per the study, they have entered the 8 PM Whisky Brand in Key states with new packaging. They have also widened their distribution reach to the consumers. They are very hopeful that they shall close the year with good growth in brand volumes. Last year, company entered into bottling contracts with two new bottlers in TamilNadu and gained good volumes in Tamil Nadu. It also allowed entry of their Morpheus brandy into the Tamil Nadu market, which is one of the major market for Brandy consumers. Management is fully confident that with right strategies in place for the premium brand launches, their placement at right price points and also a fully functional manufacturing and distribution infrastructure in place, the future is certainly bright for the Company.

ECONOMIC REVIEW

The year FY 2009-10 has been a year of robust bounce back after the downturn which the economy witnessed in the year 2008-09 with each sector of the economy getting seriously affected. It was a year of challenge where each industry player tried its level best to come out of the hard days. There are signs of turnaround in industrial production and exports with emerging economies growing at a faster pace. The world economy reveals that "financial markets are buoyant, business confidence is coming back and global growth seems increasingly robust." It is predictable that the global output rate will grow on a purchasing power basis, compared to what it was foreseen months ago. "With global investment accelerating and consumer spending strong, there is growing optimism that the recovery is becoming self sustaining." (Source: The Economist, April 2010).

 

 

BUSINESS STRATEGY

 

DRIVEN BY PREMIUMIZATION

The Company would remain focused preferred quality products provider in the semi premium and premium categories. The aim is to gain significant market share in Brown Spirit and fastest growing White Spirit segments. In India, distribution of alcohol is over regulated and suffers from market volatility. In such a scenario, Company once again demonstrated its ability to launch new brands and develop initiatives seeking opportunities in a challenging environment. Innovation in product launch by doing extensive consumer and market research to meet growing aspirations of the young consumers is their special forte. Their vision is to consolidate their market share and achieve sales volume of more than 20 million cases by 2011-12. The Company shall fully capitalize on its strong pan India

distribution network and manufacturing network of five owned and twenty seven Contract manufacturing units across the country. This will ensure wide reach for the Company and enable the company to tackle high inter-state taxes levied on movement of finished and in process liquor. Premiumization is the way forward for the Company. As the

brand portfolio moves towards the higher end, they see the Company's per case realization and contribution trending closer to other eminent players. Also, the Company intends to increase its business mix towards IMFL to 80% by FY12E from 73 % currently.

 

 

KEY INITIATIVES UNDERTAKEN
