Comments :

Subject was incorporated in the year 2003 and is engaged in manufacturing of all types of wines. 

 

After the launch of its first wines in 2000, Sula expanded from its original 30 acre family estate in Nashik to approximately 1800 acres across Nashik and the state of Karnataka. Sula introduced grape varietals such as Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Zinfandel to India and as of 2013, they hold a market share of almost 70% in the Indian wine Industry.

 

For the FY 2017, the company has achieved 9.89% growth in its revenue as compared to the previous year along with an average profit margin of 2.79%.

 

The sound financial risk profile of the company is marked by adequate net worth base along with strong debt protection due to negligible debt balance sheet profile.

 

The FY 2017 proved to be a challenging year for Sula given the impact of changing market conditions for the industry. This was mainly due to the Supreme Court judgement banning the sale of alcohol within the radius of 500 meters from the national and state highways and re-imposition of LBT in rest of Maharashtra.

 

Payment seems to be regular.

 

In view of aforesaid, the company can be considered for normal business dealings a usual trade terms and conditions.

FY17 proved to be a challenging year for Sula given the impact of changing market conditions for alcobev industry. This was mainly due to the Supreme Court judgement banning the sale of alcohol within the radius of 500 meters from the national and state highways and re-imposition of LBT in Rest of Maharashtra.

 

However the Company maintained its rank as Indias #1 wine producer in value as well as volumes and market share continue to hold strong above 65%. Their main focus the Elite and Premium segments, grew by 21.8% and 7.3% respectively.

Responding to the increasing market demand, they launched Magnum variant of Brut Tropicale, Dindori Shiraz Pint, Chenin Blanc and pint of Cabernet Shiraz.

 

Having successfully ventured into premium grape brandy segment with Janus and J, they took a step further in the world of spirits and launched a premium whiskey Eclipse. Cognac cask aged from the House of Sula, Eclipse embodies the exceptional heritage of French spirit making. In FY17, it was launched in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Delhi, Pondicherry, Goa and Daman.

 

Revenue from sale of imported goods witnessed a remarkable YoY growth of 87% mainly driven by Remy and WGS brands. The growth was supported by opening up of SEZ channel across the country. Further, Drambiue, Don Alejandro, Le Grand, Antica Sambuca, Volare and Pitu Cachaca were some of the successful additions to the Sula Selections portfolio in FY17.

 

Their hospitality business continued its impressive growth with total visitors for the year being over 260,000 implying they are amongst the most visited wineries globally. 10th edition of Sulafest was well received with more than 13,000 visitors. They started 7 new rooms besides their existing Sky Villa the total campus now being termed as Beyond. They started 2 new restaurants Little Italy and Soma in place of Soleil.

Addition to this they have won the national level award by DelWine for Best Wine Tourism Winery in India.

They were awarded the prestigious title of Best contribution to Wine and Spirits Tourism by Drinks Business Awards 2016. Dindori Shiraz was selected as the Editors Choice by Wine Enthusiast for 2 consecutive years.

 

They successfully completed the biggest acquisition in Indian wine industry by acquiring Heritage Winery, the leading producer of value wines in South India and a leader in wine tourism of Karnataka. The winery is strategically located at the Bangalore-Mysore Highway. The winery is equipped with a fully operational unit and other facilities like wine shop, restaurant, tasting room, grape stomping and vineyards. They have also acquired land adjoining to the winery, which will support their future expansion plan. This acquisition will provide us their own base of production in Karnataka and will help us continue with the leadership position in wine tourism in the state.

Sustainability remains a strong focus for the Company as they strive to reduce their power and water consumption for every case produced. They added capacity of 400KW rooftop solar in FY17. All their waste water is recycled for further use in landscaping and vineyards.

 

They continue to support the development of their nearby communities through targeted CSR efforts such as water conservation, desilting of ponds and filling nearby reservoirs to capacity in order to ensure minimum impact to their farmers in the rest of the year. Their tree plantation drives continues successfully with a survival rate of 96% as part of their environmental conservation efforts.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES: (As on 31.03.2017)

 

Bank guarantees issued by banks to excise and various other authorities is INR 82.687 Million (previous year INR 76.590 Million).

 

Outstanding export obligation under EPCG scheme is INR 25.203 Million (previous year INR 68.778 Million).

 

Corporate guarantee provided to bank for contractual obligation of grape farmers amounting to INR 31.500 Lakh (previous year INR 31.500 Million).

 

Disputed liability is in respect of Provident fund at Nashik of INR NIL (P.Y. INR 9.221 Million). The Company has made a provision for the said liability during the year.

 

Additional bonus liability for the financial year 2014-15 is INR 1.005 Million (Previous Year INR 1.005 Million).

 

The Maharashtra State Excise Department had issued a show cause / demand notice dated 21st February, 2009 for INR 199.961 Million (previous year INR 199.961 Million) for the excise duty allegedly collected by the Company from its customers after the remission of excise duty by the State Government i.e. during the period 2001-02 to 2007-08, but which was not remitted to the Government. On a Special Leave Petition (SLP) being filed by the various affected parties the Supreme Court vide its order dated 11th September, 2013 directed wine manufacturers to file a detailed reply to the demand notices issued by the State Excise Department along with documentary proof evidencing the fact that no excise duty has been collected from customers during such period.

 

As per the directions of the Supreme Courts (vide its order dated 11th September 2013), written statements were filed before the Collector (Dept. of State Excise), Nashik on 16th December, 2014 and on 23rd February, 2015.

 

In such SLP the Government of Maharashtra and the State Excise Department have submitted their respective affidavits stating that no excise duty has been recovered from the consumers and therefore the question of refunding excise duty to the State Government does not arise. The Company has also obtained a legal opinion in this matter and which strongly supports the Company's contentions that no liability is expected on this account.

 

Management is of the view that above matters are not likely to have any impact on the financial position of the Company.

 

Estimated amount of contracts pending to be executed on capital account and not provided for (Net of Advances) is INR 12.405 Million (previous year INR 19.197 Million)
