Beverage Sector Initiation Research Analysts INITIATION 09 December 2014 Asia Pacific/Japan Equity Research Beverage (Food (Japan)) / MARKET WEIGHT Beverage Sector Initiation Research Analysts INITIATION Masashi Mori 81 3 4550 9695 [email protected] MARKET WEIGHT on sector, most positive on Asahi Initiate coverage: We initiate coverage of Japan’s beverage sector, with a NEUTRAL rating on Asahi Group Holdings (2502, TP ¥4,050) and Suntory Beverage & Food (SBF; 2587, TP ¥4,500), and an UNDERPERFORM rating on Kirin Holdings (2503, TP ¥1,400). All three stocks have risen recently, pulled up by market factors. We think further upside may be limited, based on a valuation comparison with global brewers and soft drink makers that factors in profit growth potential, ROE, and shareholder returns. Moreover, for all three companies our OP estimates for FY15 onward are lower than the I/B/E/S consensus; we therefore assign the beverage subsector a MARKET WEIGHT investment stance. The shortage in our forecasts versus consensus is smallest for Asahi at 2%, compared with 9% for Kirin and 5% for SBF. Our top pick in the Japanese beverage sector is Asahi for its favorable balance between steady profit growth and shareholders returns. Japan market: We think the competitive landscape for domestic brewers and soft drink makers will be much the same in 2015 as in 2014. While we will be closely monitoring business plans due out in Jan–Feb 2015, 2015 is the final year of the current medium term plan for all three companies and we do not expect much change in business or product strategies. Kirin should continue to lag its rivals in both the beer and soft drink markets. Asahi: We look for Asahi to post record OP gain in 2015, bolstered by a full-year contribution from recent Southeast Asia acquisitions and the effects of an exhaustive worldwide cost-cutting program. Asahi is targeting a total payout ratio of 50% or higher and seems likely to repurchase shares in 2015 for the third time in as many years. No major change is expected in the company’s stance on shareholder returns in the new medium-term plan kicking off in 2016. Asahi is in sight of its 2014 goals for unit sales in the fast-growing premium beer category; we will be interested to see if this momentum is sustained in 2015. Suntory B&F: We see prospects for double-digit CAGR in OP over the next three years. The company has stepped up selection and focus on its major brands in all world regions, and profit growth should remain stable from 2015, supported by stepped-up global cost reduction initiatives. SBF is unlikely to substantially boost shareholder returns, considering capital requirements for M&A activity and its low share liquidity. Kirin: We expect Kirin to continue experiencing tough times in 2015, owing to: (1) the absence of effective strategies for boosting sales by the beer and soft drinks business in Japan; (2) diminishing effects from sales mix improvement and price hikes in the alcoholic beverage business in Australia, which is currently performing well; and (3) slower growth in the highly competitive Brazilian market. Share price downside from our target price is limited, as the stock looks relatively undervalued compared with global brewers and soft drink makers and raises expectations of a high dividend yield; however, we see no catalysts for share price recovery. While earnings remain downbeat, we think Kirin will continue prioritizing shareholder returns.

Kirin’s sole offering in the premium beer category, Ichiban Shibori Premium, is for gift sales only, and Kirin reportedly has no plans at present to sell it year-round. The company is concerned that the boom may be fading, and for now will not be using the supermarket channel to market Ichiban Shibori Premium. We think Kirin needs to find alternative means of shoring up demand for its flagship beer, Ichiban Shibori.

Lieberman The Anderson School at UCLA Box 951481 Los Angeles, CA 90095-1481 E-mail: [email protected] Tel: 310-206-7665 Fax: 310-206-3337 February 19, 2011 1 Who Imitates Whom? A Study on New Product Introductions in the Japanese Soft-drink Industry ABSTRACT Imitation is observed in various contexts in the business world and numerous theories on imitation have been proposed. Incumbent theories on imitation are organized into two broad categories: information-based theories and rivalry-based theories. Information-based theories propose that firms follow others that are perceived as having superior information. Rivalry-based theories propose that firms imitate others to maintain competitive parity or limit rivalry. This study tries to distinguish among the theories by examining when and what kinds of firms are more likely to be followed by others in their new product introductions in the Japanese soft-drink industry. The empirical analysis shows that in brand-new product imitation, firms follow large competitors, while in product proliferation within established product categories, firms do not tend to follow large firms but mimic others of similar size. These contrasting results are reasonable, suggesting that two theories on imitation coexist and environmental uncertainty may be one of key distinguishing characteristics. In the case of brand-new products, firms face much uncertainty.

Gestão & Produção, 26(3), e3120. https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-530X3120 Abstract: Environmental disclosure is a tool set that companies use to communicate their environmental performance to stakeholders. The organization Sustainability Report is the main platform to report the company’s relationship with the environment in which operates. The Global Reporting Initiative- GRI is a scheme that develops and disseminates guidelines for this kind of account, to standardize and promote international report classification. The brewing industry is actively involved in the Brazilian economy, being a consumer of natural resources in great amounts. Thus, the objective of this article is to evaluate the level of environmental disclosure practiced in the sustainability reports of Brazilian brewering industries. The sample is characterized by the Sustainability Reports of the years 2011 to 2013 of the Brazilian companies: Ambev; Brazil Kirin; Grupo Petrópolis and internationals, Heineken; AB InBev; SABMiller and Heineken Netherlands. It was used four research techniques to analyse the reports: (1) Classification of indicators as the answer; (2) Adherence to treatment or GAPIE-GRI; (3) Effective Disclosure Degree and (4) indicators ranking the contents.
