US$864m). The Brewery Business comprises seven breweries, four of which are in one of China’s fastest growing and most affluent regions, Guangdong province, with breweries also in the growing Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces and Tianjin municipality. Total annual production capacity of the Brewery Business is 14.5 million hectolitres. In 2011, the Brewery Business sold 9.3 million hectolitres of beer. The acquisition is highly complementary with CR Snow’s existing footprint and will reinforce its production base, sales infrastructure and market position in the fast growing Guangdong region as well as providing additional scale and market presence in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Tianjin. Ari Mervis, Managing Director of SABMiller Asia Pacific, commented: “The acquisition of Kingway gives us greater access to high growth and attractive regional markets in China, thereby enhancing CR Snow’s competitive position.” Mr. Chen Lang, Chairman of CRE said: "Kingway is a widely recognised brand and quality asset and enjoys a strong market share with an extensive sales network and established manufacturing infrastructures in China, especially in Guangdong province. We are delighted to have Kingway join the CRE family. The transaction not only strengthens our production capacity and economies of scale, but also further optimizes the sales network of CR Snow in China. This continues to enhance our leading position in China’s beer industry." The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and final approval of Kingway's shareholders.

  • AB Inbev-Sabmiller Merger Bash: Who Will Have the Most Fun by HELEN THOMAS and SPENCER JAKAB, WSJ, Sept
    AB InBev-SABMiller Merger Bash: Who Will Have the Most Fun By HELEN THOMAS And SPENCER JAKAB, WSJ, Sept. 16, 2015 12:53 p.m. ET Anheuser-Busch InBev has finally opted to down its pint, but everyone else in the bar may end up having more fun. The world’s largest brewer by sales said Wednesday that it planned to make an offer to buy SABMiller, a long-awaited deal that would bring together companies controlling 30% of global beer volumes. The timing, at least from AB InBev’s standpoint, makes sense. SABMiller has underperformed other beer companies this year, thanks to its huge emerging-markets exposure. Nearly 70% of its sales are made in China or markets reliant on commodities like Nigeria, Australia or sub-Sahran Africa, notes Barclays, the highest in the European staples sector. Longer-term this should translate into higher growth. Indeed, increasing its exposure to markets like Colombia, Peru and in Africa may be part of the appeal for AB InBev. But given current anxieties, SABMiller’s valuation had dropped to about 18 times forecast earnings, a slight discount to the sector. Over the past year, the stock has underperformed AB InBev by about 30 percentage points. SABMiller still won’t come cheap. Even before the deal announcement, its valuation was at a slight premium to its five- year average of about 18.3 times. Its substantial shareholders, Altria and Colombia’s Santo Domingo family, from whom SAB bought Bavaria in 2005, together control more than 40% of the company. But AB InBev’s formidable reputation in slashing costs means a deal helps to offset concerns about its own slowing growth.

Increasingly Chinese beer manufacturers are strengthening their brand positioning. In 2014 China Resources Snow are driving increased demand for malting barley and malt, and are also shifting quality malting barley industry. In this presentation, trends in global malting and brewing sectors, Breweries produced 107 million hectolitres of Snow beer making it the world’s largest beer brand at 5.4% of the global market.

In China, brewers are demanding barley with higher grain protein and specifically in China and the United States, and changing quality requirements for malting barley combined volume of Budweiser (4.6 billion liters) and Budlight (5.0 billion liters). Together with Tsingtao Brewery and Beijing Yangjing Beer, these three Chinese brewers very high enzyme potential to compensate for large adjunct incorporation.

  • MILLERCOORS DELIVERS 7.4% UNDERLYING NET INCOME GROWTH in FIRST QUARTER Brewer Gains Market Share in Above Premium, Premium Lights
    MILLERCOORS DELIVERS 7.4% UNDERLYING NET INCOME GROWTH IN FIRST QUARTER Brewer Gains Market Share in Above Premium, Premium Lights May 7, 2014 (London and Denver) – SABMiller plc (LN:SAB; OTC:SABMRY) and Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP; TSX: TPX) reported that MillerCoors first quarter underlying net income grew 7.4 percent to $291.9 million versus the same period in the prior year. This income growth was driven by positive pricing and sales mix, cost savings, and lower marketing spending, primarily due to timing differences versus last year. “In the first quarter, we continued to gain share in the high-margin and fast-growing Above Premium space with Miller Fortune and the Redd’s franchise,” said MillerCoors Chief Executive Officer Tom Long. “In Above Premium, we are expanding the category and attracting new legal drinking age consumers to beer with our innovations and brands like Leinenkugel’s and Blue Moon. The key to our success will be our performance in Premium Lights, which have been particularly challenged recently, including in the first quarter. We have made Miller Lite more relevant for millennials by bringing back the Original Lite Can, and we gained share in the Premium Light segment. This month, we will continue to engage legal drinking age millennials around Premium Lights with the release of Coors Light’s first line extension, Coors Light Summer Brew.” First Quarter Highlights Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are in U.S. dollars and calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). All percentages are versus the prior year comparable period and include MillerCoors operations in the U.S.
