United Breweries says employee mistakenly shared draft financial results, reports disclosure

Beverage major United Breweries has reported an inadvertent disclosure of unpublished price-sensitive information (UPSI) related to its draft annual financial results on May 5, 2026.

In a regulatory intimation, the company said an employee, “for legitimate reasons,” had unintentionally shared the draft financial results with an external individual without following the required safeguards under insider trading norms.

The company clarified that the finalised annual financial results, as approved by its Board of Directors, were disclosed to stock exchanges within a few hours of the incident on the same day.


United Breweries stated that since the official results were promptly released, there was no impact requiring further regulatory action under the SEBI Regulations and its Code of Fair Disclosure practices.

Terming the communication a matter of good corporate governance, the company added that it will initiate necessary steps in line with applicable laws to address the lapse.

The disclosure comes as part of mandatory compliance requirements aimed at ensuring transparency and preventing misuse of unpublished financial information.
