World: AB InBev draws down the entirety of $9 bln loan facility from global banks
|
Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s largest brewer by volume, has become the latest big company to bolster its cash position by drawing down the entirety of a $9 bln loan facility from global banks, the Financial Times reported on March 16 people with direct knowledge of the decision.
The brewer, which has been working to reduce a $95 bln debt burden built up during a years-long acquisition binge, made a request to tap the facility late last week, these people said.
In doing so, AB InBev joined a growing list of companies — including Boeing, Hilton Worldwide and IAG, the parent company of British Airways — rushing to secure cash from credit facilities.
The cash will help preserve AB InBev’s financial flexibility as the brewer deals with the fallout from the coronavirus, which economists warn is weighing heavily on consumption across the globe. Restaurants, bars and pubs have been closed in several countries and sales of beer and spirits have dropped.
AB InBev’s shares have lost more than half their value since the start of the year, plunging from €74.49 on January 2 to €34.88 by late on March 16. Its equity value has slumped to €58.96 bln.

Mexico: Federal government assures population Constellation Brands’ planned brewery is no threat to water supply
|
The operation of the brewery under construction by the United States company Constellation Brands in Mexicali, Baja California, does not pose a threat to the water supply, the federal government says in an information leaflet being distributed in the lead-up to this weekend’s referendum on the controversial beverage plant, the Mexico News Daily reported on March 16.
Emblazoned with the logos of the ministries of the Interior and the Environment as well as the National Water Commission, the brochure acknowledges that there is community concern that the brewery will use excessive amounts of water and thus create a shortage in Mexicali and surrounding areas.
However, the government points out that there is annual water availability of 2.7 billion cubic meters in the Valley of Mexicali and that the state government has only authorized the use of 5.8 million cubic meters per year by the brewery.
The amount represents “just 0.2% of the total volume [of available water] in the region,” the leaflet says, adding that the brewery will not be permitted to increase the quantity of water it uses.
“The operation of the plant doesn’t represent a present or future risk to the supply or availability of water for the countryside and homes in

Kenya: Keroche Industries secures temporary orders stopping the taxman from recovering Sh9.1 billion in taxes from its accounts
|
On Friday, March 13, troubled Keroche Industries secured temporary orders stopping the taxman from recovering Sh9.1 billion in taxes from its accounts, the Daily Nation reported.
Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) had gone for Keroche’s jugular by freezing the brewer’s Equity Bank accounts until the Sh9.1 billion tax demand is paid in full.
KRA’s move followed a Tax Appeals Tribunal ruling on March 12 that dismissed Keroche’s applications challenging the levying of excise duty on an alcoholic drink produced at the brewer’s Naivasha factory.
Justice David Majanja’s orders have given Keroche temporary reprieve as it figures out its next move.
The tribunal delivered its ruling on March 11 and told both Keroche and KRA that the judgment would be available on the same day.
Keroche now says that when it tried to get a copy of the judgment the following day, its lawyers — Hamilton, Harrison and Mathews — were told that the tribunal had taken a two-day break for a staff retreat.
While the latest claim by KRA is for Sh9.1 billion, Keroche claims that the taxman has in the past few months made several demands for a cumulative Sh23 billion.
What started out as a Sh1.1 billion tax demand on November 29, 2006 has now grown

UK: Pubs and restaurants need urgent state help to get through coronavirus pandemic
|
UK’s hospitality industry could effectively be condemned to death without urgent state help to get through the coronavirus pandemic, metro.co.uk reported on March 17.
Pubs and restaurant owners are calling for immediate action to support the industry financially after Prime Minister Boris Johnson advised people not to go out but stopped short of ordering entertainment venues to close. The British Beer and Pub Association has written to Mr Johnson, demanding urgent steps are taken to prevent mass job losses and permanent pub closures.
The letter, seen by the PA news agency and dated March 16, follows the Government issuing new advice for people to avoid pubs, clubs and theatres in a bid to halt the spread of coronavirus. British Beer and Pub Association chief executive Emma McClarkin said: ‘The UK pub and brewing industry is tonight facing an existential crisis as a direct result of the guidance issued by the Government today. Thousands of pubs and hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost in the very short term unless a proactive package creating cash and liquidity is provided immediately to the industry. Forced pub closures without a meaningful support package will have a catastrophic financial and social impact.’

Ireland: Guinness announces €1.5 million fund to help support bar staff and the elderly
|
Guinness has announced it will set up a €1.5 million fund to help support bar staff and the elderly in light of the coronavirus public health crisis, The Irish Times reported on March 17.
Some €1.2 million of the funding will be provided to bar staff unable to work following the Government recommendation all pubs across the country close to help prevent the spread of the virus, officially known as Covid-19.
The remaining €300,000 will be used to support elderly people during the unprecedented health crisis, through a partnership with Alone, a charity for the elderly.
The charity welcomed the funding, which will be used to maintain and expand the support services it offers to elderly communities.
The closures led to concerns that thousands of jobs could be at risk and many premises would not be able to open again following the financial impact of the emergency measures to tackle coronavirus.
Oliver Loomes, country director of Guinness owners Diageo Ireland, said the company would work with the Licensed Vintners’ Association and Vintners’ Federation of Ireland around how to “support bar staff to maximum effect using this funding”.

Brazil: Ambev to use on of its breweries to produce sanitizer
|
With alcohol gel supplies increasingly stretched, Ambev SA said on March 17 it will use one of its Brazil beer breweries to produce half a million sanitizer bottles for public hospitals to fight the spread of coronavirus, Reuters reported.
Ambev SA, the local subsidiary of Anheuser Busch InBev, said in a statement that it plans to deliver 5,000 sanitizer gel bottles to every public hospital in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia, where most of the country’s coronavirus cases are concentrated.
“Demand for alcohol-based sanitizer gel has continued to increase in recent days and there is already a shortage on the market,” Ambev, Latin America’s biggest brewer, said in a statement on March 17.
The move is part of global trend of private sector firms stepping up to help in the battle against COVID-19, which has decimated markets and pushed governments to take extreme measures to try and control the outbreak.
Louis Vuitton owner LVMH said on March 15 that its cosmetics unit would manufacture large quantities of hand disinfectant gel to help stave off a nationwide shortage across France as the coronavirus rapidly spreads.
Ambev said the 500,000 units will be packaged in bottles like the ones used for soft drinks, and the
