  • ¿Tendrá Farmacias Benavides Una Nueva Hermanita En El Negocio?
    ¿Tendrá Farmacias Benavides una nueva hermanita en el negocio? Si esta cadena de distribución de medicamentos al menudeo no fuera suficiente para México, este gigante del sector, que vende al menos de 10 mil millones de dólares anuales en el mundo, no cierra ... Ornella Barra cree que México es un campo fértil para este sector. (Especial) BÁRBARA ANDERSON/ENTREVISTA12/11/2014 04:22 AM México Ornella Barra es una ejecutiva impecable, que habla varios idiomas y maneja los números de la mayor cadena de farmacias del mundo con una memoria prodigiosa. Tiene 30 años trabajando en Alliance Boots, el mismo tiempo que tiene como pareja de Stefano Pessina, el CEO y mayor accionista del gigante farmacéutico (y uno de los italianos más ricos del mundo). Barra lleva las operaciones internacionales de la empresa y fue central en el cierre de la compra de Walgreens en 2012. Será la responsable del negocio de Farmacias Benavides en México y analiza traer el formato de Walgreens al país. Es la primera incursión de la marca en el mercado latinoamericano, ¿qué coyuntura detectaron en esta oportunidad para voltear a la región? Primero que nada, para Alliance Boots los márgenes en un mercado son muy importantes, y en el caso de México los márgenes que maneja en relación con el resto de la región son muy buenos. En segundo lugar, Latinoamérica es en general muy atractivo. Y en el caso particular de México es muy interesante para desarrollar nuestra marca más europea, Boots. Dado que es un mercado muy cercano a Estados Unidos y por su población de más de 100 millones de personas, el potencial es enorme.

  • Rating Action: Moody's Downgrades Walgreen's Sr Unsecured Rating to Baa2
    Rating Action: Moody's downgrades Walgreen's sr unsecured rating to Baa2 Global Credit Research - 16 Oct 2014 New York, October 16, 2014 -- Moody's Investor Service today downgraded Walgreen Co. senior unsecured notes rating to Baa2. At the same time, Moody's affirmed Walgreen's commercial paper rating at Prime-2. The rating outlook is stable. This rating action concludes the review for downgrade that was initiated on August 6, 2014. RATINGS RATIONALE The downgrade acknowledges that Walgreen's debt to EBITDA will remain above 3.5 times for the next three years following its acquisition of the remaining 55% stake of Alliance Boots in early 2015, its $3 billion share repurchase program that will be completed by the end of fiscal 2016, and its reduced 2016 EPS guidance. Moody's estimates that Walgreen's debt levels will increase from $4.5 billion currently to between $17 billion and $19 billion following the closing of the Alliance Boots transaction and the $3 billion share repurchase program. This will result in debt to EBITDA increasing in 2015 to about 4.25 times following the acquisition and Walgreen borrowing to fund the $3 billion share repurchase program. However, Moody's believes leverage will improve starting in 2016 as Moody's expects Walgreen to repay about $2.0 to $2.3 billion in debt in 2016, bringing debt to EBITDA to between 3.75 times and 4.0 times by the end of fiscal 2016. Moody's anticipates that Walgreen will make about $2 billion in additional debt repayments in 2017 such that its debt to EBITDA will remain below 3.75 times going forward.

  • Walgreens (WAG) Analyst: Juan Fabres Fall 2014
    Walgreens (WAG) Analyst: Juan Fabres Fall 2014 Recommendation: Buy Target Price August 31, 2016: $77.57 1. Reasons for the Recommendation With the acquisition of Alliance Boots in Europe, Walgreens will be the first US pharmacy to operate retail stores on a global scale. Recently, Alliance Boots acquired Farmacias Benavides in Mexico, and Farmacias Ahumada in Chile. This means that the new holding company, Walgreens Boots Alliance will operate in Asia, North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. These two companies combined will create a synergy that will provide the US and Europe with tremendous value that enables innovative quality healthcare and treatment at an affordable price to millions of consumers across the world and establish themselves as a dominant global pharmacy. Walgreens chose to exercise its option to purchase the remaining 55% stake in Alliance boots on August of 2014 instead of February of 2015, which is almost a quarter before its original exercise date. The acquisition is expected to be finalized by February of 2015. These two companies have partnered with AmerisourceBergen in a ten year agreement. AmerisourceBergen has recently struck a deal with ProFarma in Brazil, allowing the company to develop relationships with drug makers across the world enabling it to receive better discounts and diversify products and sales. As AmerisourceBergen expands into foreign markets, it will be able to gain economies of scale. This also means that as it opens its relationships with larger amounts of drug makers, it will reduce the bargaining power of suppliers, and as a buyer will enhance its bargaining power. Walgreens and Alliance Boots have the right to acquire 23% equity of AmerisourceBergen in 2016 and 2017.
