he State Government’s policy of issuing composite
licenses made it possible for IMFL and IMIL
manufacturers to market their products from the

the throughput of liquor brands and products through retail
outlets. Besides, the very classification of the points of liquor
sale was extended to clubs, bars and hotels.
Pincon was among the first liquor companies in West Bengal
to recognise the implications of this reform. The Company

Company has emerged as one of the fastest-

segment (estimated in excess of H50,000
crore a year across India), by offering a
superior packaged and branded IMFL
product priced affordably for the masses,
we created an inducement for thousands
of consumers to graduate their tastes,
preferences and lifestyles.
So, if you ask me what we have done
that it is indeed creditable, I will only say
this: we offered a branded product in a
space where nobody previously aspired
to; we seeded the market with branded
offerings; we created an appetite for
better products.
The result is that we grew revenues at a
CAGR of 57.25% in the three years leading
to 2015-16; we grew our profit after tax at
a CAGR of 58% during the same period.
Optimism, 2016-17
n Leverage acquisitions to step
up production to over 1.2 crore
bottles per month in the IMIL
segment.
n Acquire two bottling units in
Malda and Cooch Behar.
n Strengthen our presence

n Widen our IMFL portfolio to
reap promising returns.
What we have achieved in the last few
years pales in comparison to what lies
ahead.
The prospects are compelling. In India,
there are only two pan-Indian MNCs; the
rest of the players are regional. The market
is getting increasingly corporatised.
There is a greater respect for companies
that can market wider and deeper.
There have been no efforts undertaken
towards educating the masses about the
consumption of safe and hygienic IMIL.
Our Company is attractively placed to
capitalise on these realities. We achieved
a critical mass of over 21,00,000+ cases
of IMFL and IMIL products for the year
under review, following which scale-based

efficiencies will translate greater margins
visibility. We have an unusual commitment
towards logistics management and
customer responsiveness for a company
of our size. We have been blending
grain-based extra neutral alcohol with
RO-treated water which has enabled us
to create an absolutely odourless IMIL
product. Besides, ours is an instance of a
company that has widened its national
footprint parallely with its regional spread.
Considering that the acquired facilities
are running profitably, we expect them to
contribute handsomely to our financials
in 2016-17. More importantly, we have
invested in a medium-term plan that
comprises expanding our operating
facilities, evolving our product mix, and
widening our footprint to cumulatively
grow our revenues to C3,000 crore by
2020.
The other distinctive Pincon initiative
has been our decision to extend into a
completely different business segment
– the refining, branding and distribution
of edible oils in the FMCG segment. This
strategy has helped us de-risk ourselves
from an excessive dependence on the
liquor segment. Following an investment
in product variety, smart marketing
strategies and superior distribution
network, we have carved out a successful
presence in this segment marked by
attractive revenues. This provides us
with the optimism that this segment
can emerge as a full-fledged business
capable of enhancing shareholder value
sustainably.
I strongly believe that a company can
ensure sustainable growth through open
communication with its stakeholders.
I would like to thank our stakeholders for
their unflinching support and persistent
commitment in helping Pincon reach
such great heights. I look forward to
the next year with the strong belief that
Pincon will continue to receive your
encouragement.

“We aspire to continue growing our
topline, improve margins and drive

An overview of the Company’s
2015‑16 performance
The year 2015-16 was a positive year as
our topline grew by 43% to H988 crore
while net profit increased by 53% to
H26 crore. More importantly, our EBIDTA
margin strengthened by 80 bps over
the previous year. This profitable growth
validates the Company’s ability to build
volumes, generate attractive realisations
and optimise costs.
This outperformance was the result of the
successful implementation of a number of
initiatives. We strengthened our presence
in Karnataka (having entered the market
in late 2014-15), resulting in incremental
volumes. We focused on growing
awareness regarding our core brands.
We launched new products and product
extensions that generated encouraging
volumes.
Key corporate achievements,
2015‑16
The Company completed two IMIL-related
acquisitions in 2015-16. Pincon acquired
a bottling unit in Asansol to address the
large liquor consuming market in the
coal mining belt of West Bengal. The
Company embarked on the acquisition
of two blending and bottling units in
Dankuni and Barahanagar. The Company
also acquired two popular IMIL brands -
Bengal Tiger (more than 20 years old) and
Uddan (more than 15 years old) – that
are expected to translate into enhanced
offtake in 2016-17.

Indian economy
The global landscape has been rough and
uncertain with weak output growth.
Even in these trying times, India’s
economic growth was positive wherein
inflation, fiscal deficit and current account

India registered robust growth of 7.2% in
2014-15 and an 7.6% in 2015-16, retaining

IMFL (Indian Made Foreign
Liquor)
IMFL is a large segment of the Indian
liquor industry segmented into various
types (whisky, vodka, gin, rum and
brandy). This segment is dominated by
whisky (60% of volumes), followed by
rum (25%). This segment sells around 80
billion cases a year. In the IMFL segment,
vodka is the fastest-growing at around
9-10%, consumption of which has
increased due to increased popularity
among women. Besides, evolving
consumer preferences towards premium

This is the largest form of alcohol
result of the exceptional performance
of the country’s manufacturing sector
(9.5% growth in 2015-16 against 5.5% in
2014-15), which was due to a significant
fall in inputs costs following a decline in
global commodity prices. Besides, growth
is also being significantly driven by private

Pricing
Affordable and competitive
Low-end prices are a driving factor
consumed in India, accounting for
nearly 50% of the market and growing at
around 6-8% each year. There has been a
gradual shift from illicit liquor to licensed
and subsidised IMIL (country liquor).
Industry challenges comprise restrictive
state policies regarding pricing,
production and movement, increase
in raw material costs and advertising
restrictions.
Industry drivers
Urbanisation: As more people migrate
to cities, they will be exposed to a wider
variety of liquor products.
Favourable demographics: More than
60% of India’s population lies in the age
group of 15-45. More than 480 million
Indians are above the drinking age;

external shocks at bay and control rupee

India’s economy is expected to sustain

projected a GDP growth of 7-7.75% in

Managing business uncertainties
Business is about taking and managing risks. A business’s risk profile will evolve with altering
dynamics. The same holds true at Pincon, which has progressively emerged as one of the India’s
fastest-growing corporates. The Company leveraged its domain knowledge to strengthen
viability across products, geographies and market cycles.
REGULATORY RISK: The Company’s
business depends largely on governmental
policies, especially excise laws.
Mitigation: As a part of its de-risking initiatives, the Company has strategically established a
footprint in areas where State Governments are not averse to liquor consumption. The Company
has a team of professionals who ensure that its operations conform to the laws of the land.
Result: Pincon has emerged as one of the fastest-growing companies in India. Its topline has grown
at a CAGR of 50% + over the last five years.
GEOGRAPHIC RISK: An overt dependence on a
single state could impact growth if geopolitical
challenges emerge in that geography.
Mitigation: Pincon generates more than 65% of its revenues from West Bengal. Hence it could
be affected by unforeseen adversities impacting the state. However, the geopolitical scenario
in West Bengal does not threaten liquor consumption. As a de-risking measure, the Company is
strengthening its presence in Karnataka, Jharkhand and Odisha. The Company is also extending
its footprint to Delhi and Chattishgarh. Its proposed acquisitions allows it to export IMFL products
to ASEAN nations. The widening of the opportunity canvas is expected to reduce the Company’s
dependence on West Bengal.
Result: Revenue contribution from outside West Bengal states grew from scratch in 2012-13 to 35%
in 2015-16.
24 25
PRODUCT RISK: Non-acceptance of the
product in the consuming fraternity could
impact business sustainability.
Mitigation: The Company has been in business for more than a decade. Its IMFL wholesale
operations provide insights into evolving customer preferences across geographies. Based on this
knowledge, the Company has launched a slew of successful products. The most recent launch was
Ruby Gold Gin which sold more than 30,000 cases during the previous fiscal.
Result: Each of the Company’s brands registered healthy double-digit growths in the last three years.
FUNDING RISK: Inability to mobilise
adequate low-cost funds could affect
growth aspirations.
Mitigation: The Company’s businesses (liquor and edible oils) are working capital-intensive. The
Company expects to infuse around H225 crore in 2016-17 (a mix of debt and equity) thereby
strengthening organisational liquidity and de-leveraging its Balance Sheet. Moreover, growth in
business volumes is expected to strengthen cash flows which could be deployed to fund working
capital needs and repay debts.
Result: The capital employed in the business increased from H99 crore in 2014-15 to H136 crore in
2015-16; strategic investor (Chairman and Managing Director) infused H62 crore into the business
in 2015-16, enhancing liquidity.
MARGINS RISK: Inability to manage
growing business operations could impact
profitability.
Mitigation: The growing scale of operations and the consequent economies-of-scale will bolster
operating margins. Streamlining of business operations is a continuous journey and as the
Company grows larger, its negotiating power with key stakeholders is expected to strengthen, thus
optimising costs. From a realisations perspective, the Company is moving up the value chain in the
IMFL business (focus on core brands) and this is expected to improve margins
Result: Revenues from core brands increased from H170 crore in 2014-15 to H384 crore in 2015-16
while EBIDTA margin improved by 80 bps over the same period.

the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation
of the Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Standalone
Financial Statements based on our Audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the
Accounting and Auditing Standards and matters which are required
to be included in the Audit Report under the provisions of the
Act and the Rules made there under. We conducted our Audit in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section
143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the Audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements are
free from material misstatements.
An Audit involves performing procedures to obtain Audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statements. The
procedures selected depend on the Auditors’ judgment, including
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Financial
Statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control
relevant to the Company’s preparation of the Financial Statements
that give a true and fair view in order to design Audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in place an
adequate internal financial controls system over Financial Reporting
and the operating effectiveness of such controls. An Audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the
Company’s Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the Financial Statements.
We believe that the Audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our Audit opinion on the
Standalone Financial Statements.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according
to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Financial Statements
give the information required by the Act in the manner so required
and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the

the year ended on that date.
