Allied Blenders and Distillers manufactures, distributes, and sells alcoholic beverages both nationally and worldwide. Based on sales volumes, as of Fiscal 2023, the firm holds a market share of over 8% in the Indian-Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) industry. IMFL brands of vodka, rum, whiskey, and brandy are among the products offered by the business.
"Allied Blenders and Distillers, if we look at business, has a very strong brand in officers choice. I believe that for four years in a row, it was the largest-selling whisky globally. The company's balance sheet seems to be stretched. With this issue, they will be able to put things right, repay the debt ( ₹700 odd crores, etc.), which will change the balance sheet completely.
The ownership of the company and management of the company were directly linked; where the promoter was doing day-to-day management, now he has taken a back seat, handed over the charge to professionals, and moved out of day-to-day activities. This will bring substantial savings to the bottom line because he would not be taking any of those kinds of payouts. That will get saved on this plus the interest cost that would get saved post-repayment of debt would roughly get the company ₹200 crore.
So this is a big sum of money, and this would change the balance sheet of the company going forward," explained Arun Kejriwal, founder of Kejriwal Research and Investment Services.
