Heineken Gets Revenue Boost, Price Hikes Help

Heineken,the world's third-largest brewer, reported a stronger than expected increase in third-quarter revenue on Wednesday as it sold more beer in all regions except western Europe and profited from price hikes.
Heineken, fresh from its battle to take full control of Tiger beer maker Asia Pacific Breweries (APB), said revenue rose 4 percent to 4.97 billion euros ($6.44 billion).
The average forecast in a Reuters poll of nine analysts was 4.93 billion.
The maker of Heineken itself, Amstel and Strongbow cider maintained its forecast that 2012 net profit would be similar to that of last year on a like-for-like basis, with subdued demand in Europe and growth elsewhere and higher packaging costs.
Europe's largest brewer, whose Heineken brand is the continent's number one beer, said the challenging economy and consumer caution led to declining sales in Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.
However, beer sales rose in France and Italy.
Just under half of the Dutch brewer's revenue last year came from western Europe, boosted by its 2008 carve-up with Carlsberg [CABGY 17.574 0.124 (+0.71%) ] of British brewer Scottish & Newcastle.
However, since then it has been gradually increasing its exposure to developing countries, including the 2010 purchase of the brewing assets of Mexico's FEMSA and its move this year to take full control of APB.
Heineken said group beer volume rose by 4.4 percent in the Americas, with stronger sales in Brazil, Mexico and the United States of brands including Dos Equis, Tecate and Kaiser.
In the Asia-Pacific region, group volumes were up 4.8 percent, with heavier drinking in Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam and a high single-digit percentage expansion in India, where it has a joint venture with United Breweries, the maker of Kingfisher lager.
SABMiller, with some 70 percent of earnings in emerging markets, notably Africa and Latin America, last week reported a 4 percent rise in first-half beer volumes.
World number one Anheuser-Busch InBev reports third-quarter earnings on Oct 31 and fourth-ranked brewer Carlsberg on Nov 7.

Heineken conquista o controlo da fabricante da cerveja Tiger por 3,5 mil milhões
28 Setembro 2012 | 10:43
Ana Torres Pereira - atp@negocios.pt
A Heineken conquistou o controlo da Asia Pacif Breweries, fabricante da cerveja Tiger, depois dos accionistas aprovarem a proposta de 5,6 mil milhões de dólares de Singapura (3,5 mil milhões de euros), noticiou hoje o FT.
Com 98% dos votos da F&N a favor, a Heineken passa assim a deter 95,3% da APB, um aumento face aos 55,6% que anteriormente detinha.
Segundo Financial Times, o preço pago pela fabricante holandesa “foi demasiado alto” para o sector, qualquer coisa como 17 vezes o valor do EBITDA, ou “cash flow” operacional.
A proposta da Heineken era de 50 dólares por acção, no entanto com o endurecer das negociações, a fabricante aumentou a sua oferta para 53 dólares por acção.
“Valeu cada dólar que pagámos, tendo em conta as oportunidades de crescimento que a região nos dá”, afirmou Jean-François van Boxmeer, CEO da Heineken, durante a conferência telefónica, citada pelo FT.
A Heineken e a F&N já geriam a APB, desde 1931, através de uma “joint-venture”. No entanto, a fabricante holandesa estava disposta a assumir o controlo da fabricante da Tiger há algum tempo, com o objectivo de expandir o seu negócio na Ásia.
A fabricante holandesa prevê que o crescimento da cerveja premium possa atingir os 8% ao ano, até 2020, só na região da Ásia Pacifico, enquanto na China a taxa de crescimento poderá rondar os 12%.
O FT recorda que esta negociação não foi fácil, uma vez que a Heineken teve que enfrentar o maior accionista da F&N, o multimilionário tailandês, Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi que controla a ThaiBev e que detém a maioria das acções da F&N.

Heineken nears Tiger beer deal after ThaiBev acceptance
09/18/2012 | 06:41pm US/Eastern
Dutch brewer Heineken (>> HEINEKEN) took a major step towards taking control of Asia's Tiger beer by securing acceptance from a Thai billionaire who had been viewed for weeks as a spoiling rival.
Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi's ThaiBev (>> Thai Beverage PCL) and TCC Assets Ltd agreed to support the sale of Singapore conglomerate Fraser and Neave's (>> Fraser and Neave) stake in Tiger beer maker Asia Pacific Breweries Ltd (>> Asia Pacific Brew.) to Heineken NV (>> HEINEKEN).
In return, the world's third-largest brewer will not make a general offer for shares in F&N, according to the joint statement by the Thai companies and Heineken released late Tuesday European time and in the early hours of Wednesday in Asia.
Charoen, whose companies own just below 31 percent of F&N, launched a $7.2 billion offer last week to acquire the rest, a move seen at the time as possibly derailing Heineken's $6.3 billion bid to buy out the holdings of F&N and others in APB.
After two months of steadily higher offers for F&N and APB, bound together by a complex ownership structure, the Thais and the Dutch brewer ended their standoff.
Now Heineken, the world's third largest brewer, appears on course to succeed in taking full control of APB. F&N's board has already backed the deal and F&N shareholders will vote on Sept 28.
PRECURSOR OF F&N BREAK-UP?
Heineken described the deal as a good next step, although it will also need other shareholders to vote in favor.
"It significantly improves our level of certainty that our offer will be accepted," said Heineken spokesman John-Paul Schuirink.
Shareholders may be persuaded to back the Heineken deal by the proposal of F&N's board to use the proceeds to pay out S$4 billion ($3.27 billion) through a capital reduction.
F&N's other large shareholders include Japan's Kirin Holdings Co Ltd (>> Kirin Holdings Co), with a near 15 percent stake. Kirin has previously said it is interested in F&N's food and non-alcoholic drinks business.
At S$53 per share, Heineken's offer is regarded as generous by many analysts - some 18 times core profits (EBITDA), above the 15.4 times paid by Anheuser-Busch InBev (>> AB INBEV) to take control of Mexico's Modelo in June.
APB shares closed on Tuesday at S$53.09.
In turn, the path is clear for Charoen, Thailand's third-richest man, to profit from the Heineken payout and expand in Asian property and soft drinks - the main businesses left in F&N after the sale of its beer interests.
However, industry watchers say the Thais may need to pay more than their current offer of S$8.88 per share if they are serious about gaining control of F&N. Its shares closed on Tuesday at S$8.97.
The TCC offer, backed by loans from Singapore banks DBS Group Holdings Ltd (>> DBS Group Holdings) and United Overseas Bank Ltd (>> United Overseas Bank), will not be formally presented to shareholders for another couple of weeks.
The divestment of its brewing assets and the offer from the Thais could force a full break-up of Fraser and Neave.
The Thais recently bought out Pepsi's bottling business in Thailand and Charoen already has substantial property investments in Singapore.
F&N's property portfolio, worth more than S$8 billion, has also attracted the interest of Blackstone Group LP (>> The Blackstone Group L.P.) and other global property companies, sources have told Reuters, while the beverage business could appeal to potential suitors including Coca-Cola Co (>> The Coca-Cola Company).
