27 Disclosure of notes on financial results 1.tThe consolidated financial results of United Breweries Limited (“the Holding Company”) and its subsidiary (together referred to as “the Group”) for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2025 have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their meetings held on May 07, 2025 and have been reviewed/audited by the statutory auditors of the Holding Company. The consolidated financial results does not include the Holding Company’s share of net profit/loss in respect of Kingfisher East Bengal Football Team Private Limited, an associate, which is considered as not material to the Group. n n2.tThe consolidated financial results have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the applicable accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended. n n3.tAs per Ind AS 108, operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and for which discrete financial information is available. Accordingly, the Group has identified its operating segments, as below: n n(a)tBeer - This segment includes manufacture, purchase and sale of beer including licensing of brands. n n(b)tNon-alcoholic beverages - This segment includes manufacture, purchase and sale of non-alcoholic beverages. n nConsidering the seasonality of the business, the revenue and profits do not accrue evenly over the year in respect of aforesaid operating segments. The Group’s CODM does not review assets and liabilities for each operating segment separately, hence segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities have not been furnished. n n4.tThe Holding Company received an order dated September 24, 2021 under Section 27 of the Competition Act, 2002 from the Competition Commission of India (“CCI”) (‘the CCI Order’), wherein the CCI concluded that the Holding Company and certain executives (including former executives) of the Holding Company contravened the provisions of Section 3 of the Competition Act, 2002. The CCI levied a penalty of Rs. 75,183 Lakhs on the Holding Company. On December 8, 2021, the Holding Company filed an appeal against the aforesaid CCI Order before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (‘NCLAT’). The NCLAT vide its order dated December 22, 2021 granted a stay of the CCI Order during the pendency of the appeal, including recovery of the penalty imposed by the CCI, subject to deposit of 10% of the penalty amount by the Holding Company. On December 23, 2022 NCLAT passed its judgment and dismissed the appeals filed by the Holding Company and other appellants. The Holding Company filed appeal against NCLAT order dated December 23, 2022 before the Supreme Court of India on January 30, 2023 under Section 53T of the Competition Act, 2002. On February 17, 2023, after hearing the arguments of the counsel for the Holding Company and the CCI, the Supreme Court admitted the appeal and stayed the NCLAT Order (and consequently, the CCI Order and the recovery proceeding initiated by the CCI), subject to a deposit of additional 10% of the total penalty amount, over and above the amount already deposited. The total amount aggregating to Rs.15,037 Lakhs is deposited in the form of Fixed Deposit Receipts with the Registrar, NCLAT and is presented under “Other non-current assets”. n nBased on the advice of the external legal experts, the Holding Company is of the view that the Director General, the CCI and the NCLAT has not considered all aspects of its submissions particularly considering the nature of the regulations governing the manufacture, distribution and sale of beer in India. As advised by the Holding Company’s external legal experts, the Holding Company has a strong case on merits, there exists uncertainty relating to the final outcome in this matter, which is dependent on judicial proceedings; and that it is not in a position to reliably estimate the final obligation relating to penalties, if any. Accordingly, no provision has been recorded in the books of account and the same has been considered as a contingent liability in accordance with Ind AS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. n n5.tThe Bihar State Government (“the Government”) vide its notification dated April 5, 2016 had imposed ban on trade and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the State of Bihar. The Holding Company had filed a writ petition with the High Court at Patna, requesting remedies and compensation for losses incurred on account of such abrupt notification, which was allowed by Patna High Court and against which the Government preferred a special leave petition before the Supreme Court of India, which is currently pending for final conclusion. n nDuring the financial year 2018-19, in order to maintain the assets in running condition, the Holding Company commenced manufacture of non-alcoholic beverages at its existing manufacturing facility at Bihar. The Holding Company carried out an impairment assessment of its property, plant and equipment and the recoverable amount for these property, plant and equipment is determined by an external valuer based on a fair value less cost of disposal calculation. n nEffective May 1, 2022, the Holding Company has closed its manufacturing operations from the Bihar unit, considering the economies of scale of operations for non-alcoholic beverages. The Holding Company has received a show cause notice dated June 25, 2022 from Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority (BIADA) for cancellation of its land lease in Bihar considering the non-operation of the manufacturing unit. The Holding Company, based on legal advice, filed its response to the said show-cause notice stating that there has been no violation of the BIADA Act and the notice to the Holding Company is not maintainable. BIADA, thereafter, issued another show cause notice dated November 2, 2022 to start production within 30 days failing which the allotment of land would be cancelled forfeiting the allotment money. The Holding Company sought six months’ time to commence production as per the Amnesty Scheme of BIADA. However, BIADA cancelled the allotment of land to the Holding Company vide order dated December 16, 2022, against which the Holding Company filed a writ before the High Court of Patna. The High Court vide order dated January 25, 2023, directed to maintain the status quo and also directed the Holding Company to file an undertaking that it will commence commercial production in the unit. The Holding Company has filed undertaking in the High Court that it will start commercial production in the unit after BIADA recalls the order of cancellation. On February 8, 2023, the High Court directed BIADA to take a policy decision to deal with the situation arising out of the action of BIADA in the present petition and identical matters. On August 10,2023 BIADA notified two policies for availing options by the allottees to either (i) surrender the land; or (ii) sell/transfer the land; and on October 5, 2023 BIADA notified another policy also to continue manufacturing activities over the allotted land. n nOn October 30, 2023, the Holding Company filed an application to amend the aforementioned writ to include additional matters related to setting aside the policy related to the continuance of the manufacturing activities over the allotted land which has stringent conditions or alternatively direct BIADA to extend the time period to six months to avail the option to sell/transfer the land. The matter is pending with the High Court. n nAs at March 31, 2025, the carrying value of property, plant and equipment at Bihar is Rs. 6,289 Lakhs (net of depreciation and impairment). Recoverable value is determined based on the higher of value in use and fair value less cost of disposal. In determining the fair value less cost of disposal, the Holding Company evaluated and concluded its right to transfer the leasehold land after considering contractual rights available to the Holding Company under the BIADA Act. n n6.tThe Holding Company had received orders from the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Karnataka, Bangalore (DRT), whereby the Holding Company has been directed not to pay/release amounts that may be payable with respect to shares in the Holding Company held by an erstwhile director (including his joint holdings) and certain other shareholders, without its prior permission; accordingly, the Holding Company has withheld payment of Rs. 7,287 Lakhs (net of taxes) relating to dividend on aforesaid shares. Further, the Holding Company had received various orders from tax and provident fund authorities prohibiting the Holding Company from making any payment to an erstwhile director; accordingly the Holding Company has withheld payment of Rs. 45 Lakhs (net of TDS), relating to director commission and sitting fees payable to the aforesaid erstwhile director. n n7.tExceptional items presented in the consolidated financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and Year ended March 31, 2025, is on account of severance pay of Rs. 2,576 Lakhs paid to certain employees of the Holding Company on separation. n n8.tThe Board of Directors of the Holding Company has proposed dividend of Rs.10.50 per equity share of Re. 1 each amounting to Rs. 27,763 Lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2025. The proposed dividend on equity shares is subject to approval at the ensuing annual general meeting and accordingly has not been recognised as a liability as at the year end. n n9.tThe consolidated financial results for the year ended March 31, 2025/2024 have been audited and for the quarter ended March 31, 2025/2024 have been reviewed by the statutory auditors of the Company. The figures of the last quarter ended March 31, 2025 / 2024 are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year up to March 31, 2025 / 2024 and the unaudited published year-to-date figures up to December 31, 2024/2023, being the date of the end of the third quarter of the respective financial year, which were subjected to limited review. n n10.tThe consolidated financial results and notes are also available on the websites of the Stock Exchanges viz. www.bseindia.com and www.nseindia.com and also on the website of the Holding Company viz. www.unitedbreweries.com. n nBy the authority of the Board nt n n nPlacet: Bengalurut ttttttt Vivek Gupta nDatet: May 07, 2025t tt tttt, Managing Director n
