Som Distilleries & Breweries Ltd has reported an 18.8 per cent rise in its consolidated net profit to Rs 23.73 crore in the fourth quarter ended March 2025, helped by volume growth and higher realisation from IMFL business.

It had reported a profit of Rs 19.98 crore in the January-March period a year ago, according to a regulatory filing from Som Distilleries & Breweries on Thursday.

However, its revenue from operations was down 7.6 per cent to Rs 682.75 crore in the March quarter of FY25. The same stood at Rs 738.71 crore in the year-ago period.

Moreover, the costs of key raw materials and packaging materials remained stable during the quarter.

"The gross margin was also stable due to a favourable mix of older glass bottles and softening of key raw material and packaging material prices," it said.

Total expenses of Som Distilleries were Rs 651.33 crore in the March quarter, down 7.76 per cent.

Som Distilleries' total income, which includes other income, was at Rs 683.80 crore, down 7.8 per cent during the period under review.
