United Breweries Q1 Profit Declines 9.6% Amid Revenue Growth and Margin Pressures
United Breweries Ltd reported a 9.6% decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 166.3 crore for Q1 FY27, attributed to higher expenses and the West Asia conflict affecting margins. Despite this, revenue rose 10% to Rs 5,919.4 crore, driven by double-digit growth in the beer category. Premium volumes increased 17%, with notable growth in Heineken Silver and Kingfisher Ultra. The company also reduced inventory levels to improve cash flow amid inflationary pressures and geopolitical challenges.
