-Organic beer volume growth of +5.5%; more than twice the industry average
-Challenging market conditions in Western Europe, more than offset by very good performances throughout the Americas and Russia/Ukraine
Organic revenue increased by +6.8% yoy (year on year)
-EBITDA margin expanded to 26.1% versus 23.0% in the first half of 2004 (HY04)
- Profit attributable to InBev equity holders of 397 million euro versus 205 million euro in HY04
-Successful conclusion of the Mandatory Tender Offer (MTO) for AmBev’s common shares raised InBev’s economic interest in the company from 50.27% to 55.52%
-Significant progress made to drive value creation: improving capital structure through share buy-back and purchase of AmBev preferred shares, and improved deployment of invested capital via sales of German soft drinks and Spanish beer minority stake

The financial and operating information was presented in euro pursuant to IFRS, and comparisons refer to the first half of 2004. It should be noted that in order to facilitate the understanding of InBev’s underlying performance, growth analyses are based on organic numbers, hence eliminating the impact of currency fluctuations, acquisitions or divestitures and transfers ...

0 Netherlands: Heineken reports 5.4% organic net profit growth for the H1 of 2005, in line with expectations

Heineken Holding N.V. announced on September 7 first-half 2005 consolidated results in line with forecast and on target to meet the full year 2005 profit outlook.

The result of Heineken Holding N.V.’s participating interest in Heineken N.V. for the first half of 2005 turned out at ˆ173 million3.

Heineken achieved organic growth in all key metrics in the first six months of 2005: 1.3% in turnover, 3.6% in EBIT and 5.4% in net profit, in line with Heineken’s outlook statement published on 22 February 2005.

Reported net profit of Heineken N.V. decreased to ˆ345 million due to exceptional charges and weaker currencies against the euro. Net profit (beia) of Heineken N.V. increased ˆ9 million, or 2.5% to ˆ371 million, despite a negative currency effect of ˆ15 million.

Group volume grew by 3.3% (from 54.4 million hectolitres to 56.2 million hectolitres).

Sales of Heineken beer in the premium segment grew by 3% to 9.7 million hectolitres, further confirming its position as the world’s leading international beer brand.

0 USA & China: Anheuser-Busch wants more acquisitions in China

America’s Anheuser-Busch could make more acquisitions in China to tap a market that's growing as much as seven times faster than the US, according to the head of the company's international operations, China Daily reported on September 7.

Anheuser-Busch, the world's biggest brewer, in April tripled its stake in Tsingtao Brewery Co Ltd, China's biggest beer maker, to 27 %. China's beer market will expand by as much as 5 % a year until 2008, compared with growth of 0.7 % for the US and 2.5 % for Europe through 2005, beverage research firm Canadian estimates.

Each of China's 1.3 billion people drinks an average of 18 litres of beer a year, compared with as much as 80 litres each in Europe. "Obviously we'd like them to drink as much per capita as they do in Germany," Burrows said. Beer consumption in South Korea and Japan stands at about 35 litres per person, according to Burrows. "If it reached that, the market would double in size."

In 2004 Anheuser-Busch beat back London-based SAB Miller to acquire Harbin Brewery Group Ltd, China's oldest and fourth-largest brewer, in a transaction valued at HK$3.5 billion (US$444 million). The American brewer first entered ...
