SANSCO SERVICES - Annual Reports Library Services - www.sansco.net GROUP Bringing the spirits of the world to India WUAl RB 2008-200? GROUP UNITED SPIRITS LIMITED www.reportjunction.com www.reportjunction.com SANSCO SERVICES - Annual Reports Library Services - www.sansco.net Chairman's Statement UNITED SPIRITS Dear friends and shareholders, My last statement to you had ended with a happy note that our company was capitalised at almost $ 2 Billion. How much happier are we all to see that the value of our company more than doubled to a current capitalisation of $ 5.01 Billion. Adding the debt that we have recently taken to make one of the most significant acquisitions in our long history, the Enterprise Value of United Spirits now stands at $ 6.7 Billion or Rs. 264,000 Millions. The sterling performance of all our main brands has helped to power the company to an ever larger share of the profit pie of the industry. A couple of year.s ago we decided to focus on profit share rather than volume markeishare and this strategy is paying us rich dividends. Friends, India with a trillion-dollar economy growing consistently at over 8% a year for the last several years, has created a nation of current and potential consumers. A young population is translating into demand for all classes of consumer goods and durables. Survey after survey reinforces the fact that young Indians are very confident of their future, and this confidence is translating into low savings and high consumption rates which are like the patterns of the developed world. Our company, along with other companies of the UB . Group, is in a unique position to take advantage of this trend. Years of investment both in brands and the actual products have helped to make it a colossus in the FMCG space. If the acquisition of the Shaw Wallace Group and other entities in recent years is powering the current rise in profitability, I believe that the most recent acquisiton of Whyte and Mackay, the world's fourth largest Scotch distiller for an enterprise value of Pounds Sterling 595 Million will underpin our future. As you know, United Spirits consumes large volumes of Scotch every year to blend into our core IMFL products. Uptrading by consumers requires us to use ever higher quantities for blending. Further, upscale consumers will also demand choice of blended and single malt Scotches. It is widely expected that in a few years' time, India could well be the world's most important Scotch markets. Given this scenario, and in the backdrop of a global shortage of Scotch, United Spirits started to actively scout for a suitable Scotch acquisition. Whyte and Mackay is the culmination of this process, and will provide a sustainable advantage to us with its large and scalable distilleries as well as well known brands. Spotting another important emerging opportunity in Wine, United Spirits has initiated a multi-pronged strategy to take market leadership in this space through a combination of imported and domestic wines. I will keep you posted on developments on this front from time to time. The entry of large multinationals into our space is something we are monitoring very closely. Their high decibel activity will certainly expand the market and is confirmation of long-held belief that the Indian consumer will provide us many decades of profitable growth. Our response is carefully calibrated, taking full advantage of our well known brands, our deep insights into consumer behaviour and the unchallenged muscle we have with distribution. United Spirits, as undisputed market leader, continues its efforts to lead positive changes in the regulatory environment. The progress is slow but steady. Expansion of the retail universe, dismantling of the pernicious "thekedari" system by most states and Karnataka's recent ban on country liquor, are pointers in this direction, and augur well for our future. Turning to the operations of the financial year ended on 31st March 2007, we can be pleased with the quantum leap in profits which have grown by over 4-fold over the previous year. Friends, I am sure that you will share my optimism and confidence in our company's future. It remains for me to thank all who have made our remarkable achievements happen - our managers, staff and workmen who have diligently strived through the year, the suppliers, with whom we are forging long-term partnerships, the consumers who franchise our products enthusiastically, our financial partners who have helped to finance the opportunities to forge this business and most of all, a Big thank you to all of you fellow shareholders.
