  • Baltika Breweries Increased Volumes in 2020.Pdf
    BREWING FOR A BETTER TODAY AND TOMORROW Press release February 5, 2021 Baltika Breweries increased volumes in 2020 Since 2020, Baltika has been implementing a new business strategy. It helped the company increase volumes by 9%1 compared to 2019, in the face of a highly competitive beer market and restrictions due to the pandemic. After Q1 2020, which showed an increase in sales, Baltika had to restructure its work due to the pandemic: employees who were not involved in production and sales were transferred to home office, and exports of products and their sales in HoReCa were limited. Q3 was successful due to the warm summer and softening of restrictions, and in Q4 the company again had to adapt to the changed business environment. At the end of 2020, HoReCa in Russia decreased by 36%. However, the overall performance of Baltika was not affected as much by HoReCa's losses as in other countries, due to the segment's small share in sales. Despite the background of 2020, Baltika showed steady growth in off trade (+9.8%) and beer boutiques (+41%). Good results were demonstrated by the brands Baltika2 (+6%), Tuborg (+14%) & Kronenbourg Blanc (+34%), as well as fruit varieties Seth&Riley's Garage (+14%) and Somersby, whose sales volume increased 2.5 times compared to 2019 due to the updated packaging, the launch of a new, blackberry, taste and promo campaign. Sales of alcohol-free beverages in 2020 increased by 26% compared to 2019: energy drink Flash Up — by 28%, and "Baltika 0" — by 19.5%. In response to the growing demand for non-alcoholic products on the Internet, contracts were signed with the online shops Utkonos, Samokat, Ozon and Yandex Market.
