Milk Mantra falls short in FY23, records INR 12.3 Cr loss despite growing revenues

Bhubaneswar-based dairy tech startup Milk Mantra faced a financial setback in the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2023. Despite registering profits in two consecutive years, the Eight Road Ventures-backed company reported a net loss of INR 12.3 Cr in FY23. This marked a notable reversal from the INR 13.6 Cr net profit recorded in FY22, with the stagnation of its operating revenue cited as the primary factor for the downturn.

Founded in 2009 by Srikumar Misra and Rashima Misra, Milk Mantra began operations in 2012. The startup offers products under two brands – Milky Moo and Moo Shake, featuring a range of items such as packaged milk, curd, paneer, lassi, mishti dahi, and flavored milkshakes.

Experiencing a modest increase of 2%, its operating revenue reached INR 272.9 Cr in FY23, compared to INR 267.1 Cr in the preceding fiscal year. This marginal growth suggests that the company is encountering challenges in expanding its business.

The primary source of revenue for Milk Mantra came from the sale of pasteurized milk. Nevertheless, revenue from milk sales experienced a 4.6% decline, decreasing to INR 162.5 Cr in FY23 from INR 170.5 Cr in the previous fiscal year.

During the year in review, sales of curd witnessed a marginal uptick, reaching INR 59.5 Cr, compared to INR 53 Cr in the previous fiscal year.

Cottage Cheese & Lassi proved to be lucrative for Milk Mantra, yielding INR 33 crore, reflecting a 17% growth compared to the INR 28.2 crore in FY22.

Taking into account additional revenue streams, the startup’s overall income experienced a 2.2% increase, reaching INR 277.1 crore in FY23, up from INR 271.1 crore in the preceding fiscal year.

The startup witnessed a 13% surge in its overall expenditure, reaching INR 289.4 crore in FY23, compared to INR 256.6 crore in the preceding fiscal year.

The largest chunk of expenditure for Milk Mantra in FY23 was allocated to procurement, totaling INR 220.8 crore. This marked a 14% rise from the INR 193.8 crore spent in FY22.

In FY23, the startup allocated INR 14.9 crore for the transportation of its products, indicating a 16% increase from the INR 12.9 crore spent in the preceding fiscal year. It’s important to emphasize that special arrangements are necessary for transporting dairy products due to their perishable nature, contributing to the associated costs.

Milk Mantra’s employee costs remained constant at INR 18.6 crore in FY23. These costs encompass various employee benefits such as salaries, provident fund contributions, and gratuity payments, among others.

It operates dairy processing facilities in Gop, Konark, Hatibari, and Sambalpur in Odisha. As part of its “Ethical Milk Sourcing Programme,” Milk Mantra has introduced bulk milk coolers in villages, facilitating engagement with over 75,000 dairy farmers in Odisha and neighboring states.

With support from notable investors such as Eight Roads Venture, US International Development Finance Corp, and Aavishkar Venture Capital, Milk Mantra has secured a cumulative funding of $39 million to date. The company faces competition from startups like Country Delight, Stellapps, and Happy Milk, while also contending with established dairy giants like Amul and Mother Dairy.

Less than three months after securing a $35 million funding round, Bengaluru-based Third Wave Coffee, a quick-service restaurant (QSR) chain, has undertaken a restructuring process resulting in the termination of approximately 10% of its workforce.

The layoff process began earlier this week, impacting almost all departments within the company, as sources revealed. Over 80 employees lost their jobs in this exercise.

Additionally, the startup has not cleared the dues of some of its vendors for quite some time, as reported by sources.

Third Wave Coffee officially acknowledged the layoffs in a statement. “TWC post a strategic review has decided on a one-time restructuring exercise to consolidate our teams, impacting less than 10% of the organisation. As an organisation we are in a strong position post the recent fundraise. We will continue to scale and build TWC as India’s most loved coffee brand.”

However, the startup did not address queries on pending vendor payments nor did it share details about the severance package being offered to the impacted employees.

Third Wave Coffee also refrained from revealing the count of its employees before the restructuring exercise. However, according to information available on LinkedIn, the company has approximately 580 employees.

In September, the startup secured $35 million in a Series C funding round led by Creagis. Existing investors, such as WestBridge Capital and Udaan co-founder Sujeet Kumar, also participated in the funding round.

According to media reports, the startup secured funding at a valuation of $150 million.

Back then, the startup announced its plans to use the fresh capital to double down on technology and product innovation to enhance the cafe experience across the country.

Established in 2017 by Ayush Bathwal, Anirudh Sharma, and Sushant Goel, the startup presently runs more than 100 stores nationwide. Additionally, it markets coffee products through its official website and various e-commerce platforms.

In FY22, the startup experienced a loss of INR 14.6 Crores, marking a 230% surge compared to the preceding fiscal year. Meanwhile, the total revenue witnessed a substantial increase of 177%, reaching INR 32 Crores.

Third Wave Coffee competes with the likes of Slay Coffee, Blue Tokai, Starbucks, among others.

Burger Singh, the homegrown quick-service restaurant chain, announced on Thursday that it has secured pre-Series B funding in a round led by trading company Turner Morrison Ltd. This funding round also witnessed active participation from Homage Ventures LLP – Office of Aditya Ghosh.

Existing investors, including Ashvin Chadha from Anicut Capital, Vikramaditya Mohan Thapar from Thapar Family Trust, Mumbai Angels, and LetsVentures, were also part of the round.

Although Burger Singh did not disclose the specific amount of funding secured, it asserted that the round resulted in a valuation boost to $52 million (approximately INR 433 crore), up from its previous valuation of $23 million in July 2022.

In its Series A funding round held in July last year, the burger chain raised INR 30 crore, with Negen Capital leading the investment.

Burger Singh plans to roll out 15 ‘Burger Singh Express’ kiosks in the next 60 days at various metro stations in Delhi-NCR, with the aim of expanding into high-traffic areas like universities, malls, hospitals, and airports.

Measuring 100 sq ft, these kiosks are touted as highly adaptable and cost-effective by the startup, as they do not necessitate water drainage or other utilities aside from an electrical connection.

“Our expansion is not just about scaling up; it’s about innovating and evolving in the QSR space. The ‘Burger Singh Express’ model is a crucial part of this vision,” Burger Singh founder Kabir Jeet Singh said.

He mentioned that the kiosks mitigate the risks associated with location and high rental costs, enabling franchisees to achieve a quicker return on their investment.

Established in 2014, Burger Singh boasts a presence with more than 150 outlets across over 65 cities, encompassing locations such as Delhi-NCR, Lucknow, Jaipur, and Dehradun. Positioned as the third-largest burger chain in India, this startup competes in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) sector alongside renowned brands like Burger King, McDonald’s, Subway, Domino’s, and KFC.

As per analysis, the size of the Indian Food and Beverage (F&B) market was $11 billion in 2022, and it is projected to achieve a 25% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) to reach $68 billion by 2030. Consequently, investors are making substantial investments in this sector, and numerous startups within the space have secured funding in recent periods.

Earlier this year, Good Flippin’ Burgers secured $4 million in its Series A funding round from Tanglin Venture Partners. The funds are earmarked for geographical expansion, strengthening its supply chain, and refining its dining and quick-service models.

Furthermore, Third Wave Coffee, a Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) chain, obtained $35 million in a Series C funding round led by private equity firm Creaegis. The funding will be directed towards enhancing technology and product innovation to provide an enhanced cafe experience throughout the country.

Shearer’s Foods is poised for a change in ownership as local investor Clayton Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) steps in to become the new owner of the US snacks business.

CD&R has reached an agreement to acquire Shearer’s from the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) fund for an undisclosed amount. Initial reports had suggested that the buy-out deal for Shearer’s could potentially be valued at $3 billion.

In August, initial indications surfaced that the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) was considering the possibility of selling Shearer’s, a private-label snack maker and co-manufacturer based in Ohio.

Confirming a deal had been struck yesterday (13 December), John Compton, CD&R operating partner and a former CEO of PepsiCo North America, said, “We have deep admiration and respect for Shearer’s, a leading business that shares our core values in a sector and operating model we know and understand well.”

CD&R partner JL Zrebiec added, “We have strong conviction in the differentiated manufacturing capabilities and category management the company provides and our goal is to support the team in further scaling operations and capturing the many opportunities ahead to better serve Shearer’s customers.”

Shearer’s CEO Mark McNeil said, “As Shearer’s enters a new phase of growth, we are excited to be joined by a team with the experience, expertise and resources to support our mission of producing high-quality, innovative and delicious snacks that we are proud to serve to our families, friends, customers and retailers.”

In addition to manufacturing private-label snacks and cookies, Shearer’s Foods, established in the early 1900s, engages in the co-manufacturing of a diverse range of products such as crisps, tortillas, popcorn, and pork rinds. The company is also involved in the production of organic, gluten-free, and non-GMO kosher salty snacks, featuring items like kettle-cooked potato crisps, cheese curls, and extruded snacks.

The corporation operates 17 manufacturing facilities spanning the United States and Canada.

After making its initial investment in Shearer’s in 2012, OTPP expanded its stake in 2015 by acquiring additional shares from private-equity firm Wind Point Partners. This move granted the pension fund majority ownership of Shearer’s.

On its exit from the business, Raymond Shiu, OTPP’s managing director for private capital, said, “Over the past decade, we have been proud to partner with the Shearer’s management team as it established itself as a market leader in North America for private-label and contract manufactured salty snacks, cookies and crackers. Shearer’s has achieved this position by consistently delivering high-quality and innovative products, while expanding its market presence.”

CD&R operates as a privately owned entity with its partners, maintaining offices in both New York and London.

The firm invests in a diverse array of industries, encompassing industrial, healthcare, consumer, technology, and financial services end markets.

US-based freeze-dried food producer Thrive Foods has recently acquired the Canadian pet food company Canature for an undisclosed fee.

As part of the agreement, Thrive Foods will acquire a freeze-drying facility located near Vancouver, Canada. Additionally, the deal includes obtaining “a core competency in front-end wet processing” from Canature.

Established in 2010 and based in Langley, British Columbia, Canature specializes in the production of freeze-dried pet food, pet treats, and ingredients, operating under the brand names NutriBites, UBite, and Hoopla.

Thrive Foods produces freeze-dried items such as fruits, vegetables, and pet food. The company is supported by Entrepreneurial Equity Partners (E2P), a private-equity firm based in Chicago that concentrates on the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry. Additionally, it receives backing from Mubadala Capital, the asset management subsidiary of Mubadala Investment Company.

The company operates facilities in California, Utah, New York, and Wisconsin, along with locations in Germany and Peru.

Gary Xu, the founder and CEO of Canature, said, “We have long admired Thrive’s success in the freeze-dried industry and believe significant value and synergy will be generated by combining the capabilities of our teams.

“E2P and Mubadala Capital have a successful history of partnering with family-held businesses and entrepreneurs and we believe they will provide us with the necessary support and expertise to achieve Canature’s next phase of growth within Thrive.”

Steve Palmer, CEO of Thrive Foods, stated that the agreement would “enhance our capacities in the pet food sector, bringing in a multitude of new customers and channels.”

He added, “Canature’s focus on the pet space makes this a transformative move for Thrive.”

Ryan Schweet, E2P partner said, “This partnership with Gary Xu and his team represents a highly strategic opportunity that will better enable us to service growing global demand for freeze-dried pet products.”

This acquisition represents the third transaction for Thrive Foods following the initial merger of Thrive Foods and Mercer Foods in December 2021.

In June, Thrive Foods acquired Groneweg Group, also recognized as Freeze-Dry Foods, a worldwide producer and distributor of freeze- and air-dried ingredients.

Meanwhile, earlier this year, E2P made two investments. In July, the private-equity firm acquired the baked goods group MBC Companies without disclosing financial details. Preceding that, it expanded its portfolio by adding Canadian garlic bread producer Furlani Foods.

Pernod Ricard breaks new ground with the launch of first Chinese-made whisky

Pernod Ricard has launched The Chuan Pure Malt Whisky, marking the first Chinese-produced whisky from the French giant.

The Chuan Pure Malt Whisky undergoes distillation and bottling at Pernod Ricard China’s whisky distillery in Emeishan, Sichuan Province. Crafted from a blend of European and Chinese barley, the malt whisky is then refined in locally sourced Chinese single oak casks.

“As a leading international spirits group, we are committed to proactively responding to the burgeoning enthusiasm and diversified demands of Chinese consumers,” Jerome Cottin-Bizonne, the CEO of Pernod Ricard’s operations in China said.

Under the new brand, the company is presenting three distinct products. The “core” whisky will be available for purchase at 888 yuan ($124). Additionally, Pernod will introduce a second whisky, which has been finished in a PX cask, with a price tag of 1,119 yuan. For enthusiasts seeking a personalized touch, a “bottle your own” version will be offered at 1,488 yuan.

Over the 12 months ending in June, Pernod Ricard witnessed a 17% increase in net sales from its Asia/Rest of World reporting unit. Alexandre Ricard, the Chairman and CEO of the owner of Martell Cognac, attributed this “excellent, broad-based growth” to notable contributions from India, China, Turkey, and a rebound in the travel-retail channel.

Martell was the driving force behind the growth in China, accompanied by robust momentum for Absolut and Jameson, according to Alexandre Ricard.

In total, Pernod Ricard experienced a 13% increase in annual net sales, reaching €12.14 billion ($13.19 billion). Profit from recurring operations saw an 11% rise, reaching €3.35 billion, while net profit showed a 12% increase, reaching €2.28 billion.

China is emerging as a crucial arena for Western whisky distillers. In 2021, Diageo disclosed intentions to establish a single-malt whisky distillery in the southern Yunnan province.

Last month, Cognac house Camus and baijiu producer Anhui Gujing Group embarked on a partnership to create a whisky with “Chinese characteristics.” Initiating the venture, the companies are currently constructing a $30 million distillery in Anhui province. The Guqi distillery project, which commenced earlier in the same month, is anticipated to reach completion by 2025.

Meanwhile, Pernod Ricard manages an additional production facility in China through its Helan Mountain Winery located in Ningxia in the northern region of the country.
