United Breweries (UBL) has posted net profit of INR986.4m ($17.9m) for the first quarter (Q1) ended 30 June 2012, compared to the net profit of INR710.4m ($12.9m) for the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal.

The increase in net profit was primarily due to increased sales of its beer brands.

Net sales were INR12258.2m ($223m) against INR9525.4m ($172.6m) for the same period a year ago.

According to the company, the figures for the quarter ended 30 June 2012 are not comparable with that of corresponding periods of previous year mainly due to joining of other breweries with UBL during the previous financial year.

The breweries which joined UBL include Millennium Beer Industries (MBIL), United Millennium Breweries (UMBL), UB Nizam Breweries (UBNB), Chennai Breweries (CBPL) and UB Ajanta Breweries (UBA).

The company's strong beer brands reported a growth of 23%, while the mild beer volumes decreased by 9% in line with the market.
