Brewery News
Hong Kong: Tsingtao says H2 earnings jump 76.9%

Tsingtao Brewery Co. Ltd., China's second-largest beer maker, posted a 76.9 percent rise in second-half earnings as it struggled to protect margins and fought foreign entrants in China's beer market, Reuters reported April 20.

Tsingtao – 27 percent-owned by top U.S. beer maker Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. and maker of China's most famous beer brand – is battling for market share from global players SABMiller, Heineken and Carlsberg while fighting to protect margins in a country where a 640-ml bottle can cost just 12 U.S. cents.

China's beer market is the largest in the world by volume and grew nearly 15 percent in 2006, the third consecutive year of double-digit volume growth, according to Anheuser-Busch, and Tsingtao hopes next year's Olympics will further spur sales.

The market reached 307 million hectolitres in 2005.

Tsingtao said on Thursday it earned 235.1 million yuan (US$30.47 million) for the six months ended Dec. 31, 2006, versus 132.9 million yuan a year earlier.

The result beat an average forecast of 175.71 million yuan, according to Reuters calculations based on 14 analysts polled by Reuters Estimates.

The Chinese brewer said its net profit for 2006 was at 447.9 million yuan versus 306.6 million yuan a year earlier.

Belgium: AmBev’s voluntary offer to purchase all Quilmes Industrial’s outstanding shares expired

InBev announces the expiration of AmBev’s voluntary offer to purchase all outstanding shares of its subsidiary Quilmes Industrial S.A. (“Quinsa”), according to InBev’s press release, April 20.

InBev confirms that AmBev announced the final results of the previously announced voluntary offer made by Beverage Associates Holding Ltd. (“BAH”), a Bahamian corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AmBev, to purchase up to 6,872,480 Class A shares and up to 8,661,207 Class B shares (including Class B shares held as American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”)) of its subsidiary Quilmes Industrial (Quinsa), Société Anonyme (“Quinsa”). The Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time (which is 11:00 p.m. Luxemburg Time), on Thursday, April 19, 2007.

At the expiration of the Offer, 2,535,448 Class A shares and 1,618,379 Class B shares (including Class B shares held as ADSs), representing 0.63% of the voting rights of Quinsa, had been tendered in and not withdrawn from the Offer. The minimum tender condition of the Offer, which required that 3,939,387 Class B shares (including Class B shares held as ADSs) be validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, was not satisfied and as a result, the Offer expired and will be withdrawn without BAH purchasing any Class A ...

Czech Republic: Budejovicky Budvar welcomes EU’s ruling against Anheuser-Busch

A European Union trademarks authority has rejected a request by Anheuser-Busch Co. to register its Budweiser trademark throughout Europe - a victory for Czech brewer Budejovicky Budvar in the latest round of its global legal battle with the US beer giant, according to The Associated Press, April 20.

An appeals council of the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market rejected Anheuser-Busch's application last week, saying the Czech company has "proven rights to the international trademark Budweiser'," according to a statement released by Budvar yesterday.

Anheuser-Busch first applied for the trademark at the EU trademarks authority, based in Alicante, Spain, in 1999 and Budvar objected to the move. The office ruled in Budvar's favour in 2005 and Anheuser-Busch appealed that decision.

Last week's ruling is final, but Anheuser-Busch can challenge it with a lawsuit against the trademarks authority at the EU's Court of First Instance in Luxembourg, Budvar said.

"The latest ruling by OHIM is another key success for us," Budvar spokesman Petr Samec said. "A victory for Anheuser-Busch could theoretically complicate the use of our Budweiser' trademarks, which we have registered in a number of European Union countries," Samec said.

Anheuser-Busch did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment.

Philippines: Asia Brewery considered to be taken public

Philippine billionaire Lucio Tan plans to list Asia Brewery Inc., the country's second largest beer producer, to raise funds for expansion and is looking at a possible IPO next year, Reuters reported April 19.

Tan, the Philippines' third-richest man with a net worth of $2.3 billion according to Forbes magazine, declined to tell reporters on Thursday how much would be raised in a listing.

Asia Brewery has about 10 percent of the local beer market, a source from the Tan group of companies told Reuters. Its biggest rival is Southeast Asia's largest food and drinks group, San Miguel Corp. , which dominates Philippine beer sales.

Tan, who made his fortune on cigarettes and beer in the 1970s and 1980s during the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos, set up Asia Brewery in 1982.

The firm has two breweries in the Philippines, with a combined annual capacity of 6 million hectolitres of beer, and several units in China.

Other firms that are majority-owned by Tan include Philippine National Bank , Allied Banking Corp. , holding firm MacroAsia Corp. , Philippine Airlines and the unlisted Fortune Tobacco.


Estonia: Saku ends Q1 with exceptional sales

Saku Õlletehase AS ended the first quarter with beverage sales of 21 million litres, a notable 33% upswing on the same period in 2006, according to company’s press release, April 19. The main growth drivers were the water and cider and long drink categories. Beer sales grew more modestly.

“I am extremely pleased to state that Saku’s sales growth for the first quarter was the largest in the market,” said chairman of the brewery’s management board Ireneusz Smaga. Commenting on the company’s strong results Smaga said that in addition to the successful sales of established products, in Q1 Saku launched 8 product innovations most of which were very warmly received. “Sales of special beer Saku Abbey which was launched in January surpassed our expectations many fold. The exclusive can of Saku Kuld which we launched at the beginning of the year also became an instant success – sales exceeded the forecast two times. Other successful products include our classical cocktail line SIN which was supplemented at the beginning of the year with two new flavours, pomegranate flavoured DLight and KISS Spritzer Rosé,” observed Smaga. “Distribution of the well-known products of the Finnish beverage producer Sinebrychoff has also contributed to our ...

Canada: Molson Coors shares reached a record $97 after merger

Trading under $65 U.S. in October, Molson’s shares reached as high as $97 this week amid signs the merger's benefits are kicking in, Montreal Gazette published April 20.

Molson Coors chief executive Leo Kiely encountered a wall of skepticism from the investment community after completing the controversial merger of Montreal-based Molson Inc. and Denver-based Coors Brewing two years ago.

A dissident member of the Molson family was still railing publicly against the merger as recently as two months ago, and some analysts remained unconvinced of the value of an investment in the company.

It's sweet vindication for Kiely, who has been preaching patience after encountering a host of problems in the early going.

"Two months into the merger, we had a lot of challenges," Kiely said in an interview in Montreal this week. "The challenges were about the business. "The actual merger - the bringing together of two companies, which sometimes can fall apart - has gone remarkably well. But the challenges in our markets sort of coincidentally put a lot of pressure on us."

Among those issues were the impact of a price war in the United States, strong discounting in Canada and a retail consolidation in Britain.

There was also continuing fallout from the ...

Malt News
EU: There was no spectacular malt purchase action reported during March

There was no spectacular malt purchase action reported during March, and the large groups Inbev, Heineken, Carlsberg and SAB stayed on the sidelines. But regular business went on, altogether for good quantities, domestically and for export.

Malt prices remained stable, local prices for delivery 2008 in the range of EUR 375,- to 380,-, CPT breweries, and EUR 385,- to 390,- FOB seaport, in bulk in container for destinations abroad.

Besides there was still a fair amount of business in old crop malt for delivery in 2007 at prices in the 450,-/470,- range, depending on parity. Maltsters seem unwilling to step away from their safety policies, whereby they sell malt only against a corresponding barley cover. Malting margins range from EUR 100,- to 120,- per ton, mostly at the higher end of the range.


EU: Maltsters booked export licences 260,000 tonnes less than a year ago

EU maltsters booked export licences for 1.333 million tonnes from July 2006 until end March 2007, 260,000 tonnes less than a year ago. Last year the pace of exports picked up during the last quarter of the campaign.

This year it looks as if total exports for 2006/07 will fall short of last year’s number by 350 – 400,000 tonnes. Due to larger local demand, factory closures and smaller production, EU malt is virtually sold out for the whole of 2007, and the lower export figures do not create any market pressure at all.

Barley News
EU: Even feed barley supplies of crop 2006 are very tight in the EU

Not only malting barley, but also feed barley supplies of crop 2006 are very tight in the EU. Export shipments of feed barley have moved back to the Black Sea, since the Ukrainian government has abandoned its quota system.

So far the EU Commission has issued 3.013 million tonnes of barley export licences, 400,000 tonnes more than a year ago. The Commission granted also close to 40,000 tonnes of import licences against the quota of 306,000 tonnes at a preferential import duty of EUR 16,- per ton. A good part of those licences will have been used for imports of malting barley, from South America and Eastern Europe.


Canada: CWB malting barley prices down CA$8/t

Designated barley values are down CA$8 per tonne for both two-row and six-row varieties, compared to last month’s published values, according to CWB’s released an updated designated (malting) barley Pool Return Outlook (PRO) for the 2006-07 crop year, April 19. The drop in the PRO is attributed to the uncertainty created by the federal government’s March 28 announcement that it will remove the single desk on barley effective August 1, 2007, as well as other market factors.

The CWB also announced that it has suspended the 2007-08 PROs and Producer Payment Options (PPOs) for both designated and feed barley as the uncertainty of the current situation makes it impossible to estimate a pool return.

World malting barley prices have been pushed to this year’s high levels primarily by production problems in two of the three major global malting barley exporters, namely Australia and the European Union. New crop supplies will not be available from these regions for some time, which is expected to support global prices until early summer.

In this environment, the federal government’s stated intention to remove the single desk on barley August 1, 2007 is negatively affecting 2006-07 projected returns. As a result of significant market uncertainty caused by this ...
