BENGALURU, May 20 (Reuters) - India's United Spirits reported a rise in fourth-quarter profit on Tuesday, helped by strong demand for its premium alcohol brands and resumption of sales in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh in September after a five-year gap.

The Indian arm of spirits maker Diageo DGE.L reported a standalone profit of 4.51 billion rupees ($52.72 million) for the quarter ended March 31, up 17% from a year ago.

The company said the net sales value of premium category, which includes Johnnie Walker whiskey and Tanqueray gin, rose 13.2% year-on-year, while overall net sales growth was 10.5%.

KEY CONTEXT

Analysts said that following a strong October to December period, demand for alcoholic beverages remained strong during the fourth quarter, led by the wedding season.

United Spirits has focused on more premium products in its portfolio in the past few quarters, which has shielded the company to an extent from India's inflation-led consumption slowdown.

Earlier this month, India's largest beer maker United Breweries UBBW.NS reported a rise in fourth quarter profit helped by lower costs, while its volume rose 5% driven by strong growth in the premium segment.

Updates throughout, adds context on timing of transition

Jan 13 (Reuters) - United Spirits UNSP.NS, the Indian arm of liquor company Diageo DGE.L, said on Monday that HT Media boss Praveen Someshwar would join the company as managing director and CEO, effective April 1.

Someshwar will replace Hina Nagarajan, who after four years at the helm, is set to transition into a role on Diageo's global executive committee, the company said.

Someshwar has been CEO of HT Media HTML.NS, the owner of the Hindustan Times national daily, for five years. Prior to that, he worked with PepsiCo PEP.O for 24 years, where he held a number of senior roles in various divisions.

The leadership change at United Spirits comes at a time when Diageo and its Indian unit, have faced scrutiny from federal and local investigative agencies due to allegations of suspicious payments, and other irregularities, that pre-dated Nagarajan's tenure at the helm of the company.

United Spirits said Someshwar will join the company on March 1, and formally takeover from Nagarajan a month later following the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.

NEW DELHI, Jan 10 (Reuters) - India's federal investigating agency has accused liquor giant Diageo DGE.L and Sequoia Capital of making suspicious payments to a politician's firm to seek favourable government decisions, it said in a document Reuters reviewed on Friday.

In the document, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) says Diageo Scotland made a suspicious fund transfer to Indian politician Karti Chidambaram's firm after a 2005 ban on sale of its duty-free products hit sales of its Johnnie Walker whisky.

In the case document on its website, the agency said an investigation showed a payment of $15,000 to the firm was intended to influence public servants to lift the ban on Diageo, rather than for consultancy work as it had been described.

"In order to lift the ban, Diageo Scotland approached Karti P Chidambaram," the agency said in the document, part of its formal case registered against Diageo and Sequoia, after an investigation launched in 2018 into investment approvals.

It did not say when the alleged payment by Diageo was made.

The agency said Diageo suffered a huge loss from the 2005 embargo on its products by the India Tourism Development Corp, a firm majority-owned by the government that had a monopoly on sales of imported duty-free liquor.

Telephone calls to seek comment from Karti Chidambaram, the son of former finance minister P Chidambaram, went unanswered. A member of India's main opposition Congress party, he is a lower house MP.

A spokesperson for Diageo's India unit, United Spirits, in which the British giant owns a stake of about 56%, declined to comment. Diageo's British unit did not immediately respond to a request for a comment on the development.

The case presents a new challenge for Diageo after anti-graft police launched an investigation last year into billing and discount practices in the capital, New Delhi.

The company has said it is cooperating with that agency.

Separately, the CBI case document accused the Mauritius unit of Sequoia Capital of suspicious transactions with the firm of Karti Chidambaram, who was in a position to influence public servants to secure approval for an Indian investment in 2008.

Sequoia's proposal, the CBI said, was approved in November by Karti's father, P Chidambaram, who was finance minister at the time. In response to a text message from Reuters, P Chidambaram, also a Congress politician, said he had no comment.

The CBI case document does not name the former finance minister as one of those accused in the case.

Sequoia did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the accusations.

A detailed investigation will look for any violations of India's criminal law, including its anti-graft law that sets penalties for bribes to public servants, the CBI added in the document.

Punishments can be jail terms of up to seven years, and unspecified fines.

NEW DELHI, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Spirits group Diageo's DGE.L Indian unit has submitted financial documents sought by New Delhi anti-corruption police in an investigation related to billing and discount practices involving city agencies, a source familiar with the matter said.

Hina Nagarajan, the CEO of Diageo's Indian unit, United Spirits UNSP.NS, was summoned to appear before New Delhi police on July 26 in the case that relates to company's supply of liquor to government agencies running alcohol shops and payments received from the city between 2017 and 2020.

Nagarajan, who is also a member of Diageo's global executive committee, was asked to appear in person or through company representatives and to provide several documents related to company sales.

Nagarajan did not appear before police but after the July notice, Diageo through company representatives submitted many documents that were sought from the three-year period, said the source, who declined to be named due to a lack of authority to speak to media.

The documents submitted included certain bank statements, records of financial dealings with the Delhi city agencies to which liquor was supplied and some agreements signed with them, the source added.

Diageo India and Delhi anti-corruption police did not respond to repeated requests for comments from Reuters.

The company has previously called the Delhi case a "routine information and fact-finding exercise" and said it was cooperating with the authorities. The company added it believed police notices may have been sent to other manufacturers.

The Delhi investigation concerns how companies like Diageo India supplied liquor to government-run shops, and how those agencies sometimes offered early payments to suppliers that offered discounts, Reuters reported last month.

Police are investigating whether there was any wrongdoing in this process and if discounts given by companies were in line with liquor laws. Police had called the Diageo India CEO as a witness in the matter.

New Delhi city rules mandate all liquor retail shops to be run only by government agencies.

The Indian capital is a major market for premium liquor brands, more so for Diageo as its main rival, France's Pernod Ricard PERP.PA, has been unable to retail its products since late 2022 due to allegations of wrongdoing it faces in another investigation.

Euromonitor estimates Diageo, the world's biggest spirits maker which sells Johnnie Walker scotch whisky and Smirnoff vodka, is also India's largest with a 19% market share by volume in the $35 billion market.

BENGALURU, July 26 (Reuters) - India's markets regulator on Friday barred business tycoon Vijay Mallya from trading in the country's securities market and from associating with any listed company for three years.

The Indian government has been trying to extradite Mallya, 68, who lives in Britain, to face charges of fraud resulting from the collapse of his defunct company Kingfisher Airlines.

Mallya, who also co-owned the Formula One motor racing team Force India until 2019, has denied all wrongdoing.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India said on Friday that the tycoon's "existing holding of securities including the holding of units of mutual funds... shall remain frozen".

Mallya owns an 8.1% stake in Kingfisher beer-maker United Breweries UBBW.NS, per exchange data, and is the company's chairman. He also owns a 0.01% stake in Smirnoff vodka-maker United Spirits UNSP.NS.

NEW DELHI, July 25 (Reuters) - The CEO of Diageo's Indian business has been summoned by New Delhi anti-corruption police investigating billing and discount practices involving government agencies running liquor retail shops between 2017 and 2020, according to a source and a police notice seen by Reuters.

Hina Nagarajan, the CEO of United Spirits UNSP.NS, has been asked to appear before police on Friday and provide several documents related to company sales, according to a confidential July 4 police notice to the CEO seen by Reuters.

"You are hereby directed to appear in person or through a company representative ... for joining (the) investigation," said the notice.

Nagarajan, who is also a member of United Spirits majority-owner Diageo's DGE.L global executive committee, did not respond to Reuters requests for comment. Diageo owns about 56% of United Spirits which is also known as Diageo India.

A spokesperson for Diageo India confirmed receiving the Delhi police notice and said the company would fully cooperate and was "in the process of providing the information sought".

"We are in the process of sending in an authorised representative, as sought in the notice," the spokesperson added, saying the company could not comment further as the investigation was ongoing.

A liquor industry source with direct knowledge of the matter said the Delhi investigation concerned how companies like Diageo India supplied liquor to government agencies which ran retail shops, and how those agencies sometimes offered early payments to suppliers who offered discounts.

The police is investigating whether there was any wrongdoing in this process and has called the United Spirits CEO as a witness, the source added.

The July 4 police notice asked Nagarajan to explain "whether the discount given to the corporations (government agencies) was in accordance with excise policy", the document shows.

Delhi city police and the chief minister's office did not respond to Reuters queries. A senior police source said the investigation was ongoing.

The Indian capital remains a major market for premium liquor brands given its appeal to tourists.

Euromonitor estimates Diageo, the world's biggest spirits maker which sells the Johnnie Walker scotch whisky, is also India's largest with a 19% market share by volume in the $35 billion market.

It competes with Pernod Ricard PERP.PA, though the French company has been unable since late 2020 to sell alcohol in New Delhi - which accounted for 5% of its Indian sales - after authorities rejected its attempt to obtain a licence.

The nine-point July 4 police notice also sought invoice details from United Spirits in respect of sales and payments received from Delhi city agencies during April 2017 and March 2020, and the name of the company employee who collected payments.

Police also asked the company for bank statements of that period, it shows.

BENGALURU, June 27 (Reuters) - Indian whisky maker Allied Blenders and Distillers' ALLE.NS $180-million IPO was oversubscribed on Thursday but fell short of the blowout demand for recent issues amid concerns about its growth prospects in an increasingly competitive liquor market.

The IPO, the first by an alcohol company since Sula Vineyards' SULA.NS in 2022, received bids for 924.9 million shares, worth up to $3.12 billion and about 23 times the 39.4 million shares on offer, exchange data showed.

In contrast, all the four previous IPOs on the main exchange this month, including engineering firm DEE Development Engineers DEEV.NS, were oversubscribed by around hundred times.

Most of the bids came in the final hours of bidding on Thursday, with institutional buyers bidding for 50 times the shares allotted, while retail investors bid for about four times the allotment.

Allied Blenders, which sells 'Officer's Choice' and 'Sterling Reserve' whisky, is going public in a booming Indian IPO market.

A total of 129 companies have raised $4.32 billion in IPOs so far this year, more than double the amount raised by this time last year, per LSEG data, with the domestic equity market at an all-time high on the prospect of healthy economic growth.

Allied Blenders faces stiff competition in India's $33 billion spirits market, including from Radico Khaitan's RADC.NS 'Rampur Whisky' and Diageo-owned United Spirits' UNSP.NS 'Johnnie Walker' and 'Black Dog'.

The company's share of the premium portfolio is relatively lower than its peers, meaning its growth rates may not be that strong, said Karan Taurani, an analyst at Elara Capital.

Taurani does not expect the stock to rise much when it makes its market debut.

Allied Blenders ranked third in terms of whisky sales in India in fiscal 2023, according to its prospectus, trailing United Spirits and 'Chivas Regal'-maker Pernod Ricard PERP.PA.

Its core profit (EBITDA) margin is also less peers', Taurani noted.

Anchor investors, including domestic mutual funds, had already subscribed to shares worth 4.5 billion rupees.

The offer included a fresh issue worth 10 billion rupees, while co-chairperson Bina Chhabria and vice chairperson Resham Chhabria Hemdev were seeking to up to 5 billion rupees in stock.

BENGALURU, Feb 8 (Reuters) - India's United Breweries UBBW.NS reported a profit in the third quarter on Thursday, as improved demand helped mitigate the impact of higher costs.

The company, partly owned by Dutch brewer Heineken NV HEIN.AS, has been grappling with elevated costs due to rising raw material prices, including glass and extra neutral alcohol (ENA), a primary raw material for alcoholic beverages, which have incrementally risen each quarter.

The Kingfisher beer maker reported a standalone profit of 848.5 million rupees (nearly $10 million) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared with a loss of 21.4 million rupees a year earlier.

Revenue from operations rose 12.3% to 41.53 billion rupees.

However, total expenses also grew at a similar pace to 40.61 billion rupees, dragged by a 14% rise in raw material costs.

United Breweries' revenue growth has also been decelerating, dropping from 96% in June 2022, when beer sales surged during the summer months, to 14.1% in September 2023, as consumers reduced spending amid persistent inflation.

Profit has declined in the last three quarters since swinging to a loss in the December quarter of fiscal 2023.

Meanwhile, rivals Radico Khaitan RADC.NS, known for 'Magic Moments' vodka, and 'Smirnoff' vodka maker United Spirits UNSP.NS reported an increase in third-quarter profits, both benefitting from strong sales of their premium liquor brands.

BENGALURU, Feb 6 (Reuters) - India's 'Magic Moments' vodka maker Radico Khaitan RADC.NS on Tuesday reported a third-quarter profit, which grew at its fastest pace in more than two years, fuelled by sustained demand for its premium brands.

Consolidated net profit rose 23% to 751.5 million rupees ($9 million) in the three months to Dec. 31, the biggest rise since June 2021.

Radico has for around two years focused on growing its premium segment, which counts a mostly affluent population as its consumer group. The segment includes brands like 'Rampur' whisky and 'Magic Moments' vodka.

The premium segment's sales volume was up 20% at 3.1 million cases, fuelling a 29% rise in the segment's revenue.

That drove a 47% rise in net revenue to 11.61 billion rupees in the quarter. Radico's net revenue is the overall revenue minus excise duty on sales.

Meanwhile, price hikes hurt demand in the regular segment - that includes 8PM whisky - dragging sales volume down 12% to 3.1 million cases. The segment's revenue fell 11%.

"While the demand for the regular category brands was muted, premium brands growth remained robust," Chairman and Managing Director Lalit Khaitan said.

"With continued government spending and a favorable consumer sentiment, we believe that consumption should see an uptrend in the future."

Last month, larger rival United Spirits UNSP.NS also reported a higher profit on strong demand for its premium brands.

Radico Khaitan's shares closed 0.6% lower ahead of results.

Corrects paragraph 5 to say "sales volume", not "sales"

BENGALURU, Jan 23 (Reuters) - India's United Spirits UNSP.NS, which makes Smirnoff vodka, reported a rise in third-quarter profit on Tuesday, buoyed by strong demand for its premium brands of alcohol.

A greater number of affluent Indians are choosing more expensive cars and consuming pricier food and liquor, unaffected by inflation.

This boosted the Diageo PLC DGE.L-owned company's profit before exceptional items and taxes by 51% to 4.59 billion rupees ($55.22 million) in the quarter ending Dec. 31 from a year earlier.

Last year, the company had made a provision of 1.48 billion rupees as an exceptional item for costs related to a revamp of its supply chain.

Sales volume in United Spirits' premium segment, which includes brands such as Johnnie Walker, Signature and Antiquity and accounts for roughly 80% of its sales volume, rose 4.6% in the quarter.

Meanwhile, inflation and increased competition curbed sales of the lesser-priced 'popular' segment, which includes McDowell's No. 1, Vat 69 and Royal Challenger brands. Sales in the segment fell nearly 23% in the quarter.

Revenue rose around 5% to 69.49 billion rupees. Revenue had fallen in each of the earlier four quarters.

The company benefited from softer input costs for glass, packing materials, and barley, reducing raw material costs by 7%.

However, expenses for extra neutral alcohol, a key ingredient, remain a millstone around liquor makers' necks, analysts have said.

Rival Radico Khaitan RADC.NS, which makes Magic Moments vodka, will report its third-quarter results next month.
