The company's net profit declined 17.26% year-on-year to Rs 301.5 crore in the quarter ended December 2023, according to an exchange filing. This was on account of an exceptional item recorded pertaining to a one-off provision related to a 25-year-old pension liability in the UK.

Revenue from operations increased, mainly driven by underlying growth of 10% in Indian business, 6% in international business, and 4% in non-branded business. EBITDA witnessed 26% growth.

The India packaged beverage business delivered 4% revenue growth. The food business grew by 5%. Coffee continued its strong performance, with revenue growth of 32% for the quarter.
