Carlsberg A/S Page 5 © Datamonitor Carlsberg A/S History HISTORY Carlsberg A/S (Carlsberg or ‘the company’) was established by brewer, J.C. Jacobsen, in 1847, to produce bottom fermented, matured beer in accordance with the Bavarian tradition. The company exported its first barrel of beer to Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1868. The Carlsberg Foundation was created in 1876. In 1882, Jacobsen's son, Carl, opened a brewery under the name Ny (New) Carlsberg. Jacobsen subsequently changed the name of his brewery to Gamle (old) Carlsberg. In 1887, after Jacobsen's death, The Carlsberg Foundation took over Gamle Carlsberg. The Carlsberg pilsner's logo, designed by Thorvald Bindesboll, was introduced in 1904.The company opened its first overseas brewery in Blantyre, Malawi in 1968. Two years later, in 1970, Carlsberg and rival Danish brewery, Tuborg, merged to form United Breweries. In 1992, Carlsberg merged with English brewery Tetley. Carlsberg became the sole owner of Carlsberg-Tetley in 1997. In the same year, the Carlsberg Group acquired 75% of the equity of Poretti Industries in Italy. In 1998, the company was renamed Carlsberg Italy. Carlsberg increased its shareholding in the Portuguese brewery, Unicer-Bebidas, to 44% in 2000. Carlsberg Breweries was formed in 2001, owned 60% by Carlsberg and 40% by Orkla. In 2002, the company acquired two Bulgarian breweries, Shumensko Pivo and Pirinsko Pivo. In 2004, Carlsberg bought Orkla's share of Carlsberg Breweries. The company also entered into an agreement with Ongo Investment and various minority shareholders to acquire 34.5% of Wusu Brewery, located in the Xinjiang, China.

  • Strategic and Financial Valuation of Carlsberg A/S
    Strategic and Financial Valuation of Carlsberg A/S Master Thesis – Finance and Strategic Management 30th of September 2011 Cand. merc. FSM Department of Finance Copenhagen Business School Author: Andri Stefánsson Supervisor: Carsten Kyhnauv Strategic and Financial Valuation of Carlsberg A/S Executive summary The main objective of this thesis was to determine the theoretical fair value of one Carlsberg A/S share on the 1st of March 2011. Carlsberg A/S is the world´s 4th largest brewery measured in sales volume and has acquired this position both through organic growth as well as acquisitions of its competitors as a part of the consolidation phase that the brewing industry has undergone in the past 10 years. In order to obtain the necessary understanding of the company´s business model, a strategic analysis was carried out both on an external as well as on an internal level. The strategic analysis showed that Carlsberg has a very strong product portfolio and one of its main strengths was innovation in regards to new products targeting new market segments. Being the 4th largest brewery in the world creates great economies of scale which are of importance. The strategic analysis also showed that the political and economical situation in Russia is of most threat to Carlsberg. The strategic analysis was followed by a financial analysis which showed that all key financial drivers rose upon till 2008 when the recent economic crisis hit and Carlsberg at the same time acquired Scottish & Newcastle. From 2009 the key financial drivers showed improvements both due to Carlsberg being able to make use of the synergies created as a part of the acquisition along with an increase in revenue and lower borrowing costs.
