Brewery News

0 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.

0 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.
