United Spirits Ltd posted a robust set of numbers for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025, as its consolidated net profit jumped 74.7% year-on-year to ₹421 crore as against ₹241 crore in the corresponding quarter in the last year.

Revenue from operation for Q4 FY25 increased by 8.9% yoy to ₹3,031 crore. The company has clocked a 37.7% growth in EBITDA y-o-y at ₹460 crore during Q4 FY25 from ₹334 crore in Q4 FY24 on account for operational improvements.

Operating margins expanded sharply to 15.2% in the March quarter compared to 12% a year ago, suggesting stronger cost control and robust leverage from premiumisation strategies. The board has proposed a final dividend of ₹8 per equity share for FY25 for approval of shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

Reported NSV for Q4 FY25 was at ₹3,031 crore, up 8.9% year-on-year; the underlying NSV growth was reported at 10.2% (adjusted for one-off impact). It was largely driven by growth in the standalone business during the quarter as play of IPL matches by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) being lower in the quarter compared to the previous year partially offset the gains.

United Spirits Ltd, a subsidiary of Heineken N.V. (Heineken), is based at UB City in Bangalore, a part of the UB Group, UBHL. The company is among India’s largest players in the alcoholic beverages space with a range of brands such as Kingfisher beer and other brands of premium spirits.
