Varun Beverages Limited (“VBL” or the “Company”) is a key player in the beverage industry. The
Company’s operations span across 6 countries – 3 in the Indian Subcontinent (India, Sri Lanka,
Nepal), which contributed ~81% to total revenue, and 3 in Africa (Morocco, Zambia,
Zimbabwe), which contribute~19% of revenue in CY20.
The Company produces and distributes a wide range of carbonated soft drinks (“CSD”), as well
as a large selection of non-carbonated beverages (“NCB”), including packaged drinking water. It
has a unique business model with end-to-end execution capabilities from manufacturing,
distribution and warehousing, customer management and in-market execution, to managing
cash flows and future growth. PepsiCo offers brands, concentrates and marketing support to
VBL, which then takes complete control over the manufacturing and supply chain processes,
driving market share gains, enhancing cost efficiencies and
managing capital allocation strategies.
VBL has vast experience in managing the distribution of soft drinks, involving complex logistics
and packaging of products. While business operations in each market is similar, each territory
and sub-territory presents specific operational challenges, varying from steady electricity supply
and refrigeration and cooling equipment, logistics infrastructure as well as the demographic
profile and
general socio-economic conditions in the relevant market. VBL has undertaken a number of
strategic initiatives towards improving operational excellence. These include backward
integration of its production processes and centralized sourcing of raw materials. The Company
has established backward integration facilities for production of preforms, crowns, plastic
closures, corrugated boxes, corrugated pads, plastic crates and shrink-wrap films in certain
facilities to ensure operational efficiencies and high-quality standards.

Reasons for lack of performance in the FY20
The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in early March 2020, leading to multiple lockdowns,
resulted in significant disruption across domestic and international markets. With the period of
March to May being a key season for the Company’s performance, the disruptions in
production levels, supply chain and distribution operations, particularly in the months of April
and May negatively impacted both domestic and international business performance.
Lockdown restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in decline in sales volumes and
consequently, the water consumption in CY20 is lower than previous year.
Overall, revenue stood at ` 64,501.4 million as against ` 71,295.78 million in 2019. Total sales
volumes stood at 425.3 million cases in 2020 as compared to 492.7 million cases in 2019. In the
domestic market, sales volume stood at 337.4 million cases as compared to 403.7 million cases
in 2019. CSD constituted 72.6%, Juice 6.3% and Packaged Drinking water 21.1% of total sales
volumes in 2020.

PP&E assets fall under the category of noncurrent assets, which are the long-term
investments or assets of a company. Noncurrent assets like PP&E have a useful life of
more than one year, but usually, they last for many years.
The percent share of Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E) as at 31 December 2020 is
68.89% of the total assets and as at 31 December 2019 is 70.25% of the total assets.
When considering only the percent share of PP&E in total assets in 2020, it has
decreased by 1.36% as compared to that in 2019. Also the evaluation of assets has
decreased in 2020 as compared to 2019. This is due to the increase in depreciation of
Property, Plant and Equipment than the previous year 2019. Depreciation includes day-
to- day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts.

Other Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are defined as identifiable non-monetary assets that cannot be seen,
touched or physically measured. Intangible assets are created through time and effort,
and are identifiable as a separate asset. Intangible assets are typically expensed
according to their respective life expectancy. Intangible assets have either an
identifiable or indefinite useful life. Those with identifiable useful lives are amortized on
a straight-line basis over their economic or legal life, whichever one is shorter.
o Market Infrastructure
o Distribution Network
o Franchise Rights/Trademarks
o Computer Software
The percent share of Other Intangible Assets in the Total assets as at 31 December 2020
is 6.59% while at 31 December 2019 is 6.70%. The percent share of other intangible
assets have decreased compared to previous year.
Page | 12
The franchise rights and trademarks acquired as part of business combinations normally
have a remaining legal life of not exceeding ten years but is renewable every ten years
at little cost and is well established. Hence, franchise rights and trademarks amount has
remain same for both years and it has no effect on other intangible assets.
The market infrastructure amount has decreased compared to previous year 2019 due
to foreign exchange fluctuation, disposals and adjustments on assets for the year.
The computer software amount has decreased compared to previous year as the
amortization charge for the year 2020 has decreased as compared to the previous year
and also the additions to the software in 2020 were much less than in 2019. Overall due
to these reasons there was reduction in the percent share of other intangible assets in
total assets compared to previous year.
Inventories:
Inventory includes goods ready for sale, as well as raw material and partially completed
products that will be for sale when they are completed and also stocks and spare goods.

The percent share of Inventories in Total Assets has increased in the year 2020 as
compared to the year 2019. The raw material purchased and sold during the year 2020
is less compared to that in the year 2019 but as the opening stock for 2020 was greater
than the opening stock for the year 2019, hence, the overall raw material in the
inventory has increased in the 2020 as compared to 2019.
Intermediate goods have decreased while work in progress and finished goods have
increased in the year 2020 compared to the previous year. Due to this changes the
overall inventories have increased compared to the previous year

In case of the Holding Company, the working capital facilities from banks are secured by
first charge on entire current assets of the Company ranking. One facility from bank is
secured by subservient charge over entire current assets and movable fixed assets (both
present and future) of the Company and another facility from bank is secured by
subservient charge over movable fixed assets of the Company. These facilities carry interest
rates ranging between 4.75% to 5.90% (31 December 2019: 8.35% to 9.65%). Hence, as the
interest rates increased after 31 December 2019 the evaluation of working capital facilities
from banks have increased at large amount as compared to previous year.
