Motilal Oswal Report

United Breweries Ltd.’s results were worse than our expectations.

Its outlook remains weak, with:

  1. June volumes down 57% YoY,
  2. lockdown in various urban centers thus far in Q2 FY21,
  3. no repeal of excise duty increase in majority of the states (that saw a steep excise increase in May), and
  4. the continued likelihood of closure of on-trade sales for a few more months.

Moreover, recovery in FY22 is also unclear due to:

  1. an unprecedented steep excise duty increase threatening both net sales growth and profitability for the next few quarters and
  2. the risk of weak state finances leading to delay in payments, thereby increasing receivables.
