Bottlers Nepal Terai (BNT), the sole distributor of Coca-Cola products in Nepal, is feeling the squeeze. The company reported a steep 19.51% decline in revenue, tumbling to NPR 2.96 billion from NPR 3.68 billion in the previous quarter. The drop raises fresh concerns about the beverage giant’s ability to navigate an increasingly challenging market.

Seasonal volatility is partly to blame. As temperatures drop, so do sales of cold beverages, with consumers shifting toward warmer alternatives. But BNT’s struggles extend beyond the predictable winter slump. Margins are eroding at an alarming rate. The company’s gross profit margin shrank from 22.44% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2081/82 to 20.32% in the second—continuing last year’s downward trajectory, when margins slid from 24.07% to 22.44% over the same period.
