SOM Distilleries and Breweries Limited has reported a steady sequential improvement in its third quarter performance for FY26 while delivering a strong nine-month showing that underlines sustained scale and profitability momentum, according to its unaudited consolidated financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025, reflecting resilience in a dynamic and competitive alcoholic beverages market.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the company posted consolidated revenue from operations of ₹48,254.94 lacs, marking a sequential increase over ₹47,636.17 lacs recorded in Q2 FY26, signalling stable demand conditions across key markets and disciplined execution strategies despite industry headwinds. Profit before tax for the quarter stood at ₹741.19 lacs while profit after tax came in at ₹548.47 lacs, translating into earnings per share, both basic and diluted, of ₹0.26. The sequential uptick in revenue indicates that the company has been able to maintain traction across its core categories, leveraging its established distribution network and diversified product portfolio to sustain volumes and pricing discipline.

The nine-month consolidated performance further reinforces the company’s growth narrative, with revenue from operations reaching ₹1,84,345.74 lacs during the period, reflecting the benefits of scale and consistent market demand across states. Profit before tax for the nine months stood at ₹9,324.30 lacs while profit after tax was reported at ₹6,704.95 lacs, with basic earnings per share at ₹3.23. The numbers point to sustained profitability and operational stability, underscoring the company’s ability to manage input costs, optimise production efficiencies and protect margins in a business environment that continues to see regulatory shifts and evolving consumer preferences.

Significantly, the standalone performance presents an even sharper picture of growth momentum. In Q3 FY26, standalone revenue from operations was reported at ₹15,599.76 lacs, while profit after tax stood at ₹747.46 lacs, resulting in earnings per share of ₹0.36. The standalone profitability in the quarter highlights stronger margin delivery at the core operating entity level, reflecting efficiency improvements and tighter cost controls.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, standalone revenue from operations rose to ₹78,020.08 lacs, higher than ₹76,219.57 lacs recorded in the corresponding previous period, demonstrating continued topline expansion. More notably, standalone profit after tax surged to ₹6,130.12 lacs compared with ₹4,174.33 lacs in the corresponding previous period, reflecting a substantial improvement in profitability and operational leverage. Earnings per share for the nine-month standalone period increased to ₹2.95 from ₹2.14 in the previous corresponding period, underscoring improved shareholder returns and a stronger margin profile.

The growth in standalone profitability suggests enhanced efficiency across manufacturing operations, improved product mix and potentially stronger performance from higher-margin segments within the company’s portfolio. The margin expansion also indicates disciplined cost management at a time when input prices and regulatory costs remain key variables for the alcoholic beverages industry.

With a diversified portfolio spanning premium beers, spirits and ready-to-drink offerings, SOM Distilleries continues to focus on strengthening operational efficiencies and expanding its footprint across domestic and export markets. The company’s strategic emphasis on disciplined cost control, manufacturing optimisation and calibrated market expansion appears to be supporting stable earnings momentum even as industry dynamics evolve.

Headquartered in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, SOM Group of Companies has established itself as one of India’s leading alcoholic beverage manufacturers with a strong presence across multiple states and exports to international markets. Its portfolio includes flagship brands such as Mahavat Whisky and Bhimbetka Single Malt, along with popular beer brands including Hunter, Sunny Beaches, Power Cool, Black Fort and Woodpecker, among others. Backed by state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and ongoing investments in capacity and distribution, the company continues to position itself for sustainable long-term growth in India’s expanding beverage alcohol market.

Overall, the Q3 FY26 sequential revenue growth combined with robust nine-month standalone profitability signals that SOM Distilleries is maintaining operational resilience while strengthening its earnings trajectory, reinforcing its standing within India’s competitive alco-bev landscape and signalling continued focus on scale, efficiency and profitable expansion.
