IMFL manufacturer Tilaknagar Industries Limited (TI) has reported a major spurt in revenue and profit for Q1 2025. The company’s net revenue from operations grew 13.1% from ₹359 crore to ₹406 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. While the profit after tax (PAT), excluding exceptional items, showed a growth of 95.7%, rising to ₹77.35 crore from the ₹39.52 crore reported in the year-ago period.

TI reported a 62.6% growth in EBITDA from ₹48 crore to ₹78 crore in Q4 FY24, and they attribute this to improved operational efficiencies and volume-led growth,. Adjusted for subsidy income, the EBITDA stood at ₹65 crore, a 35.5% Y-o-Y growth.

The EBITDA margin registered a growth of 588 basis points; rising from 13.4% to 19.3% during the period under reference. In Q4 FY 25, the company recorded a volume growth of 20.1% Y-o-Y, signaling a strong return to its growth trajectory. This performance was reinforced by the successful completion of the Andhra Pradesh Route to Market (RTM) transition, which had previously impacted volumes. The company also reported significant market share gains across all key states, further reinforcing its competitive position in the Indian IMFL landscape.

Speaking on the performance, Amit Dahanukar, Chairman & Managing Director, Tilaknagar Industries said, “We anticipate sustained momentum, supported by continued market share gains across all major Southern states.”

For FY25, TI reported consolidated net revenue of ₹1,434 crore, up 2.9% Y-o-Y, impacted by a price reduction in Andhra Pradesh and muted volume growth in the first nine months. Despite modest growth in net revenue, EBITDA rose by 37.4% to ₹255 crore while PAT surged 62.9% Y-o-Y to ₹230 crore.

In FY25, TI made further progress in reinforcing its balance sheet, reducing gross debt and achieving a net cash position of ₹107 crore as of March 31, 2025. The Board of Directors has recommended a dividend of ₹1 per equity share for FY25.

During the year, TI strengthened its market presence, maintaining its position as the third-largest player in the Prestige & Above (P&A) IMFL segment in Telangana and Karnataka and the largest IMFL player in Puducherry, reflecting strong brand equity and deep market penetration. Additionally, TI has commenced distribution of the Spaceman Spirits Lab (Spaceman) portfolio, including Samsara Gin, in select markets. This follows the usership agreement signed between Spaceman and TI, marking a strategic step towards expanding TI’s presence in the premium craft spirits segment.
