    No. We are planning to be ready by the middle of next year. By June, we should be able to complete the trials and then start from the second quarter onwards. (Page 5)

    RiskSeverity

    Seasonal Demand Fluctuations

    Q1 is a lean period for the soluble coffee industry, leading to lower revenues, but improvement is expected in subsequent quarters. — Management acknowledged

    low

    Geopolitical Tensions and Logistics Costs

    Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East caused modest increases in LPG/diesel prices and transit times, but the overall impact was negligible due to limited market exposure. — Management downplayed

    Weather-Related Impact on Green Coffee Production

    Weather-related risks could affect green coffee production, but offsetting factors are expected to keep green coffee prices relatively stable in the near term. — Management acknowledged

    medium

    Coffee Price Volatility

    Coffee prices are fixed on a quarterly basis, which helps manage volatility, but market price escalations can still impact realization. — Management acknowledged

    Q&A highlights

    7

    “Quarter 1 always has slightly lower revenues, traditionally, if you look at the history of companies in the soluble coffee industry. This is because it is a lean period during the summer months, i.e., April, May, and June. The second quarter will also show slightly better improvement than the first quarter, but the third and fourth quarters will be in full swing.”

    Clarifies that the sequential revenue decline is due to seasonal factors and not a fundamental business issue, with expectations for improvement in subsequent quarters.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Q1 FY27 Performance Overview

    Vintage Coffee And Beverages Limited delivered a strong Q1 FY27, with revenue growing 58.4% year-on-year to ₹161 crores. EBITDA saw an even higher growth of 75.2% to ₹31.6 crores, and Profit After Tax (PAT) increased by 46.1% to ₹20.8 crores. The company maintained a healthy PAT margin of 12.9%, reflecting robust financial performance despite Q1 being a seasonally lean period for the soluble coffee industry.

    02

    Capacity Expansion and Utilization

    The company successfully commissioned an additional 4,500 metric tons of production capacity at the end of FY26, bringing its total installed capacity to 11,000 metric tons. This new capacity became fully operational in Q1 FY27 and was utilized at 90-95%. Total production volume for Q1 FY27 stood at 2,402 metric tons, with sales volume at 1,856 metric tons. Management confirmed 100% utilization of available capacity during the quarter, accounting for 15 days of annual maintenance.

    03

    Strategic Consolidation and Operational Efficiency

    The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) approved the amalgamation of wholly-owned subsidiaries, Vintage Coffee Private Limited and Delecto Foods Private Limited, with Vintage Coffee and Beverages Limited, effective July 21, 2026. This strategic move aims to consolidate all business under a single corporate entity, optimizing manufacturing facilities, improving operational efficiency, reducing administrative costs, and strengthening profitability. The entire expansion has been funded through internal accruals, demonstrating strong cash generation capabilities.

    04

    Freeze-Dried Coffee (FDC) Expansion Progress

    The company is making steady progress on its proposed 5,500 metric tons per annum freeze-dried coffee expansion. Land has been secured from the Telangana Government, and substantial advance payments have been made to equipment suppliers, with construction operations underway. This expansion will increase the total capacity from 11,000 to 16,500 metric tons. The FDC plant is expected to be ready by mid-next year (Q2 FY28), with production commencing from the second quarter of FY28, targeting 60-65% utilization for 8-9 months in FY28.

    05

    Market Outlook and Competitive Edge

    Green coffee prices are currently stable at ₹3,500-3,800 per metric ton, with expectations to remain within this range. The company's competitive advantage stems from its ability to offer customized blends developed by its R&D department, which are exclusive to each customer. This strategy has resulted in an almost 98% customer retention rate. The company maintains volume commitments from customers for the entire year, with prices reviewed quarterly, providing strong visibility.

    06

    Chicory Business Performance

    The Delecto Foods Private Limited subsidiary, focused on chicory products, has an annual capacity of 2,000 metric tons and generates ₹42-45 crores in revenue per annum. This segment is profitable, with EBITDA levels similar to coffee. Due to an acute shortage of chicory this year, the company anticipates higher realization and incremental profitability from this segment.
