Strong Q1 results, guidance lift New India Assurance shares by 18%

Shares of state-owned New India Assurance Company, the largest non-life insurer, jumped almost 18 per cent on Wednesday, aided by strong quarterly earnings and guidance from the management. The shares of New India rose by 20 per cent during the day and closed 17.7 per cent up at Rs 204.6. The insurer recorded 80 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) growth in net profit to Rs 391 crore in the April–June quarter of FY26 (Q1FY26), compared to Rs 217 crore in Q1FY25. Its gross written premium grew by 13.11 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 13,334 crore, while investment income rose by 23.7 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 2,290 crore. On the other hand, expenses declined by 10.25 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 11,125.01 crore. However, the loss in the Air India crash dragged the underwriting losses to Rs 1,756 crore, up from Rs 1,588 crore in Q1FY25. The company plans to focus on strengthening profitability, with a strong emphasis on launching innovative products aimed at the retail and micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) segments. During the post-earnings analyst call, the management said it aspires to achieve a 3 per cent lower combined ratio, targeting around 113 per cent in FY26. The market share of the general insurer also increased to 15.51 per cent in Q1FY26 from 14.65 per cent in Q1FY25, according to General Insurance Council data. 'The healthy growth rate in domestic business was despite lower growth in motor vehicles, where we have taken a more cautious approach considering the current competitive intensity. The combined ratio at 116.16 per cent was stable compared to the same period last year. The unfortunate incident involving the Air India flight had an adverse impact on the underwriting results. The health segment witnessed a slightly higher loss ratio, and some large losses impacted the liability and miscellaneous portfolio as well. Some more provisions were made towards legacy non-moving balances, which were offset by a healthy investment income,' said Girija Subramanian, chairperson and managing director, New India Assurance.

ABD targets profitable growth, to add luxury brands and boost margins

Allied Blenders & Distillers, which houses brands such as Officer's Choice and Sterling Reserve, is focused on driving profitable growth in the coming quarters and expects its gross margins to improve significantly as it pursues expansion in the prestige and above segments. The company also intends to add another two to three luxury brands, after launching six in the previous financial year. 'As far as our business is concerned, the first fundamental is profitable growth. And profitable growth is in terms of gross margin focus across our entire portfolio, including our mass premium flavour, and expansion of the prestige and above (P&A) segment. Our P&A growth is about 44 per cent in the quarter (April–June), so we will focus on this segment, identifying new product opportunities within the prestige segment and the luxury portfolio. The first large theme is really profitable growth,' Alok Gupta, managing director, Allied Blenders & Distillers, told Business Standard in an interview. He added that in FY24, the company did not have any luxury brands and now houses six, with plans to add two to three more. In the prestige segment, Gupta said the company also intends to introduce two more flavours. He further explained that the second theme is to improve gross margins by focusing on procurement, supply chain efficiencies, and leveraging the UK–India free trade agreement (FTA). 'We are India's largest importer of bulk Scotch as an Indian company. This will impact our costs, which will improve our gross margins. Also, the backward integration projects we have undertaken are largely focused on the supply chain,' Gupta said. He added that the company will also prioritise capital planning to increase profitability. Gupta said he expects a 300 basis point improvement in gross margins over the next two to three years, which will flow down to EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). On the UK–India FTA, he said maximum retail prices (MRPs) will drop marginally, especially for bottles priced at Rs 2,000 and above, which will benefit from the agreement. 'The luxury segment is already growing faster than any other segment. We are seeing significantly higher double-digit growth in this category. We believe that with a reduction in MRPs, especially on bottle-India brands, the segment will expand further and therefore the size of the pile will become bigger. This consumer is essentially experience driven and constantly looking for what's new. Our portfolio has just about come into place in the segment, and we are seeing it from an opportunity mindset,' Gupta added.
