USA: Boston Beer Co. sees 35% rise in net revenue for Q1 2014
|
Boston Beer Co. Inc. reported on April 30 first-quarter 2014 earnings per share of 62 cents that came below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 71 cents. However, the company’s quarterly earnings reflected a substantial improvement from the year-ago quarter earnings of 11 cents per share.
Results for the quarter benefited from an increase in shipments, offset by higher advertising, promotional and selling expenses and the inclusion of 6 cents per share gain from federal income tax settlement that was recorded in the prior-year quarter.
Net revenue for the quarter rose 35% year over year to $183.8 million and came ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $171.0 million, primarily attributable to an increase of 32% in core shipment volume. Price increases during the quarter were approximately 2%.
Moreover, depletions improved by a solid 34% in the quarter gaining from strong depletions rate for the company’s Samuel Adams, Angry Orchard and Twisted Tea brands.
During the quarter, the strength in the Samuel Adams brand was due to the celebrations for Boston Beer’s 30th Anniversary, the rollout of Rebel IPA and strong sales of its Seasonal beers. Overall, the company’s brands gained from strong brand support, that came from increased media spend, expansion of sales force

Belgium: Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. criticizes AB InBev’s executive compensation plan and board composition
|
A leading adviser to large investment firms criticized the executive compensation plan and board composition of Anheuser Busch InBev SA, Chairman Kees Storm said April 30, in a rare challenge to the corporate-governance practices of the family-controlled brewing company, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The criticism, delivered by Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. in a confidential opinion to shareholders, might have influenced shareholders at the company's annual meeting on April 30 to cast around 13% of their votes against the appointment, or reappointment, of board members representing AB InBev's BUD +0.82% controlling families.
Those board members include the Belgians Alexandre Van Damme and Grégoire de Spoelberch, and the Brazilian billionaires Carlos Alberto Sicupira and Marcel Hermann Telles. AB InBev's board is dominated by a small group of Belgian and Brazilian families who together own a majority of the company's shares, now worth more than $170 billion.
"ISS expressed their concerns," said Mr. Storm at a news conference after the meeting. "That was very open and very obvious. There are people who want more independent directors on the board, it's as simple as that."
ISS didn't respond to a request for comment.

Brazil: Beer taxes will be raised before the World Cup soccer tournament
|
Brazil’s plan to boost beer taxes before hosting the World Cup soccer tournament sent Anheuser-Busch InBev NV’s local unit tumbling the most in five years, Bloomberg reported on April 30.
The government will increase taxes on beverages including beer, soda and bottled water June 1 as part of efforts to increase revenue after suffering its first sovereign credit downgrade in a decade last month. The World Cup starts June 12, and the government forecasts 600,000 foreign tourists will attend games scheduled to be played in 12 Brazilian cities.
Ambev SA shares slumped 5 percent to 16.30 reais at the close of trading in Sao Paulo, the biggest drop since March 2009. The shares are down 5.9 percent this year.
The tax plan will raise 1.5 billion reais ($671 million) by year-end and will only have a minimal impact on inflation, Carlos Alberto Barreto, the head of the federal tax agency, told reporters in Brasilia on April 29. Ambev may decide to raise prices to offset the higher levies on brewers, according to Rodrigo Martin, an analyst at Quantitas Asset Management.
“What a bad surprise for the company,” Martin said in a phone interview from Porto Alegre, Brazil. “Ambev had said it was not planning

Zimbabwe: Thirst for beer now has to be quenched by cheaper alternatives
|
Zimbabwe might be in the midst of an economic slowdown but the country’s populace still boasts of being top beer consumers, Business Report said May 1.
But their thirst for beer, which continues to bloat despite low disposable incomes, now has to be quenched by cheaper beverage alternatives.
And for Delta Corporation, SABMiller’s Zimbabwean associate unit, the numbers are telling: a steep decline in lager beer volumes in the past two quarters has seen the Chibuku opaque beer segment rise.
Delta enjoys a dominant position in the Zimbabwean beer market.
It only faces competition from imports and brewers of traditional beer in the country.
But Chibuku has particularly come to the rescue of the company, with a new variation, the Chibuku Super, providing a longer shelf life and increased portability.
Delta has a diverse product portfolio mix, even beyond the beer segment, as the company is also into sparkling beverages, the non-alcoholic opaque and nutritious maheu, as well as juice and dairy-based soft drinks.
Some are clearly aimed for the top end of the market and others for low earners, a strategy that has works well for the company.
The premium lager beer market faces competition from imports such as Heineken, Amstel and Carlsberg.
There is also a sizeable

Ireland: Guinness St James's Gate brewery may suffer from construction of new underground DART
|
Guinness manufacturing giant Diageo fears the €2 bln underground DART will sink the home of its iconic dark beer, Irish Independent reported on May 2.
The company said Irish Rail plans to put the new line underneath its multi-million euro brewing plant at St James's Gate.
Last week, Irish Rail issued letters to 5,000 home and business owners whose lands could be seized for the construction of the new underground line, which has just received planning permission. Diageo is the biggest business to be affected.
A spokeswoman for Diageo on May 1 said that it had received a letter from Irish Rail in recent days about the compulsory purchase of lands.
Irish Rail said planning permission has been granted with "conditions." One was that environmental risk management and the monitoring of buildings will be carried out at all times during the construction.

Around 95% of the planned U.K. spring barley crop is now drilled, according to U.K. grains body HGCA.
"Seed beds on light and medium soils were good. However, where crops are drilled on heavier land, often as part of a black-grass control strategy, seed beds were difficult to prepare in dry conditions," the HGCA said on May 1, adding that there are no serious concerns over pests for the crop right now.

Japan & USA: Suntory Holdings completes nearly $16 bln buyout of Beam Inc.
|
Japan's Suntory Holdings said May 1 it had completed a nearly $16 billion buyout of the firm behind Jim Beam bourbon, creating the world's third largest high-end spirits maker and giving it a foothold in the major US liquor market.
Suntory has acquired all outstanding shares of Beam Inc. for $13.8 billion while taking on $2.0 billion of the US-based firm's debt.
The combined company, with about 3,400 employees, will be called Beam Suntory Inc. with plans to merge Suntory Liquors' spirits business by before the end of this year.
Combined sales of Beam Inc. and Suntory's spirits business were $4.6 billion in 2013, according to a statement issued by Suntory.
The buyout, first announced in January, marks the latest foreign acquisition by family-owned Suntory and is part of a recurring trend for Japanese companies as they see their home market declining due to a shrinking population.
A strong yen in recent years also helped the propel the shopping spree as overseas deals were relatively cheaper for Japanese companies, although such purchases slowed last year as the yen sharply declined.
The Beam deal is the third-biggest overseas acquisition by a Japanese firm, after mobile carrier SoftBank's $21.6 billion takeover of US-based Sprint Nextel last year and
