    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. Its total volume is higher than the requirements. 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.
