📈Demand recovery on track:

👉Around 70% of outlets were operational till mid- Aug’21.

👉While the recovery in on-trade channels has been good, night/weekend curfews and restricted timings are affecting sales, with last orders being accepted at 8-9pm in select geographies.

2/n

👉Muted global travel has acted as a tailwind rather than a headwind as it led to duty-free demand converting to duty paid. The management is focusing on the modern off-trade channel to cater to this demand. It activated 2,000 outlets for Scotch over the last one year.

3/n

📈Focus on the margin accretive Scotch portfolio:

👉Black Dog is now available in 3-5 markets.

👉The relaunched Signature, which was present only in West Bengal, Haryana, and Telangana, will be present in 70% of the country over the next 2-3 months.

4/n

👉The Scotch portfolio is hugely gross profit accretive. The cash conversion cycle is also better at 75-90 days v/s 120-130 days for the overall portfolio.

👉RoCE is highly accretive for bottled in origin (BIO) Scotch.
