Title: Historians think prehistoric people made beer well before they made bread.


1
History of Beer
  • Historians think pre-historic people made beer
    well before they made bread.
  • Babylonian clay tablets from 4300 BC include
    detailed recipes for beer.
  • Beer was brewed in Babylonian, Assyrian,
    Egyptian, Hebrew, Chinese and Inca cultures.
  • 1200 AD Beer making commercialized in England,
    Germany and Austria.
  • 1420 German brewers develop the lager method of
    brewing
  • 1490s Columbus discovered Indians making beer
    from corn and black-birch sap
  • 1516 Bavarian brewers guilds push the
    Reinheitsgeobot Purity Laws, outlawing the use of
    anything but water, barley and hops in beer
    making.

How Beer is made
  • Milling
  • Mashing
  • Boiling
  • Cooling
  • Fermenting
  • Filtering
  • Conditioning
  • Pasteurizing
  • Packaging
  • Main Ingredients
  • Malt
  • Hops
  • Yeast
  • Water

3
Aging and Alcohol Consumption
  • Aging and alcohol consumption are inversely
    related.
  • A person drinks most in their 20s than in 30s or
    later.
  • As people age, they tend to drink more wine and
    spirits.

4
Threat of New Entrants
  • Threats of new entrants
  • Barriers to entry
  • Capital Intensive
  • Distribution networks and agreements
  • Regulations and Taxes
  • Microbrewers are subsidized in Canada
  • Economies of scale in marketing, production and
    distribution.

5
Rivalry
  • Price competition
  • Increasing in Canada, particularly Eastern Canada
  • Increasing competition from imported beers
    (however, national brewers own part of these
    breweries).
  • 2,200 wholesalers.
  • 560,000 retail establishments.
  • Growing popularity of micro-breweries and other
    craft-beers.
  • Alternative expansion to super-premium beers and
    other segments with lower demand elasticity.

6
Threat of Substitutes
  • Substitutes (Growing)
  • Growth in
  • Wine increasing in popularity
  • Spirits and Premixed drinks.
  • Alternative malt beverage.
  • Alternative non-alcoholic drinks (from juices to
    mineral water).
  • However, beer remains the most consumed alcoholic
    beverage in the world.

7
Beer losing ground to Wine Spirits
8
Buyers Bargaining Power
  • Varies between market segments and demographics,
    but in general
  • Low switching costs
  • Price competition
  • Increasing health conscience.
  • Craft-beers and Microbrewers which are perceived
    as having higher quality, these characteristics
    may not always hold.

9
Supplier Bargaining Power
  • Low
  • Beer uses only a few ingredients plentiful
    sources.
  • Supplies come from competitive industries which
    are more fragmented than the beer industry
  • Farmers.
  • Labor (the case of unionized labor).
  • The more consolidated supplier is that one
    supplying bottles/cans.

Europe
Western Europe The Western European beer market
is one of the most profitable in the world. In
2004, the beer market declined slightly as a
result of the relatively poor summer, weaker
European economies and unfavorable demographics.
The combination of these elements caused a
general decline in the on-trade. In overall
volume terms, the off-trade grew but was
dominated by increasing competition on price at a
retail level as supermarkets fought to win and
retain customers.
15
Europe
Central and Eastern Europe Central and Eastern
Europe is one of the worlds largest beer markets
by region. Many markets have below-average
per-capita consumption and countries are
preparing to join the European Union. These
elements are forecast to deliver an acceleration
in growth of purchasing power, beer consumption
and to expand the market for premium beer.

Sales by Region
  • Heineken divide the world beer market in five
    regions as follows
  • Western Europe
  • As of June 2005, performance in Western Europe
    was mixed, with some Southern European markets
    showing difficult economic environments and low
    consumer spending

59
Sales by Region
  • Despite lower beers sales volume, better prices
    were achieved in all major Western European
    countries, in both the on-trade and the
    off-trade.
  • Cost savings and efficiency improvements
    positively contributed to EBIT growth. However,
    EBIT was negatively affected by 34 million of
    exceptional charges relating to production
    improvements in France
  • Heineken brand premium volume in the first half
    grew 0.8 despite lower sales volume in the
    declining French market. Growth in other markets
    remained healthy, particularly in Spain
  • In the Netherlands, sales volume was low, only
    partially offset by improved price and sales mix
    and lower costs

60
Sales by Region
  • In Spain, turnover and EBIT increased due to
    higher sales volume, price and sales mix. The
    construction of the new brewery in Seville (233
    million project) with a capacity of 4.5 millions
    hectoliters, will be finished at the end of 2006
    and production reaching full capacity in 2008
  • In Italy and the UK, volumes were up
  • Central and Eastern Europe
  • In the first half of 2005, net turnover and group
    volumes were up, partially as a result of the
    first-time consolidation of the new breweries in
    Russia and Germany
  • Bulgaria, Austria and Slovakia showed lower
    volumes due to higher excise duties

61
Sales by Region
  • In the first half of 2005, net turnover and group
    volumes were up, partially as a result of the
    first-time consolidation of the new breweries in
    Russia and Germany
  • Bulgaria, Austria and Slovakia showed lower
    volumes due to higher excise duties
  • Integration activities at Braun Union, which
    started in 2004, have been completed. A total of
    11 breweries and malteries have been closed so
    far
  • In Poland, the restructuring of Group Zywiec
    distribution system and the closure of breweries
    in 2004 had a good impact in turnover and EBIT
  • Russia increased sales volume as a result of the
    first-time consolidation of acquisitions (4 new
    companies)

62
Sales by Region
  • Russia increased sales volume as a result of the
    first-time consolidation of acquisitions (4 new
    companies)
  • In Austria, due to a real estate divestment, EBIT
    was low
  • In Greece, turnover rose slightly despite lower
    volumes, thanks to cost control and improved
    pricing
  • The Americas
  • In the first half of 2005, the performance of the
    Heineken group was mixed, with the Latin American
    operations (Chile and Argentina), driving the
    organic growth in the region and compensating the
    slower first half in the USA
  • The joint-venture with Femsa S.A. for the USA
    started in January 2005. Femsas Mexican brands
    grew in volume

63
Sales by Region

    the region, with strong results in Nigeria and
    South Africa and weak results in the Middle East.

    Breweries merged and created Heineken Asia
    Pacific Breweries China (HAPBC). In 2005 HAPBC
    acquired a 40-stake in DaFuHao Breweries in

Financial Analysis
  • Statement of Income
  • As of June 2005, net turnover of the company rose
    by 5.8 to 5.1 billion (4.9 in June 2004). At
    the end of 2004 net turnover rose by 8.1 to
    10.0 billion. Both increases were due to
    price/mix improvements and net volume growth

69
Financial Analysis
  • In 2004, the operating profit rose 2 to 1.25
    billion despite the negative impact of exchange
    rate movements of 158 million
  • New acquisitions added 93 million to operating
    profit before amortization of goodwill of 50
    million
  • Income from non-consolidated participating
    interests declined by 241 million to 140
    million negative. This decrease was due to the
    190 million impairment charge on Heinekens 20
    participating interest in Cervejerias Kaiser and
    must be viewed against the exceptional net gain
    of 71 million in 2003 on the sale of the 15
    interest in Argentinean brewing group Quilmes

70
Financial Analysis
  • Net interest charges rose to 180 million,
    reflecting the higher interest charges in
    connection with loans raised to finance
    acquisitions
  • Net profit was down 32.7 to 537 million and
    earnings per share declined to 1.10 (1.63 in
    2003)

71
Financial Analysis
  • Balance Sheet and Cash flow statement
  • As of June 2005, cash flow from operations
    remained stable at 566 million compared with
    574 million in the first half of 2004. Lower tax
    payments were offset by a seasonal increase in
    net working capital. The sale of real estate
    assets in Austria also added 238 million net of
    tax to the total cash inflow.
  • In 2004, cash flow from operations decreased to
    1,520 million from 1,637 million in 2003. Net
    investments in tangible assets added to 637
    million. A total of 1,049 million was invested
    in new acquisitions and expanding existing
    interests.

72
Financial Analysis
  • This refers to the second phase of the Brau Union
    acquisition in Austria (39.7), Shikan Brewery
    (95.1), Volga Brewery (100) and Sobol Brewery
    (100), the increased stake in Dinal (48) and
    other acquisitions in Europe

73
Financial Analysis
  • The leverage ratio displayed by the company is
    the result of its continuous process of
    acquisitions in the industry. This process is
    also reflected in the increment of its long-term
    debt throughout time
  • The profitability of the company has been
    decreasing over time due to the tight competition
    in the American market and the downside in many
    European economies during the last years

74
Stock Analysis
  • Heinekens stock is traded on the U.S. OTC under
    the symbol HINKY.PK. As of February 17, 2006
    HINKY traded at US35.20 or 29.63 (1
    US1.18789)The following chart shows HINKYs 5
    year stock performance

75
Stock Analysis
  • Gordons Growth Model
  • This model can be used to valuate a company in a
    mature industry. Heinekens dividend growth is
    likely to be steady, therefore
  • Value of stock DPS1/(k-g)
  • and DPS1 DPS0(1g)
  • k (DPS1/P0)g
  • Where DPS1 expected dividend paid out in one
    year
  • k required rate of return on investment
    g the assumed constant growth rate for dividend
  • P0 current stock price

76
Stock Analysis
  • In this case g 0.05 (the average of the last 5
    years dividend growth on the stock)
  • DPS1 0.40(10.05) k (DPS1/P0) g
  • DPS1 0.42 k (0.42/29.63) 0.05
  • k 0.0641748
  • Because Heinekens k looks small compared to the
    one showed by its peer Anheuser-Busch (k 9.44),
    we calculate the ß for Heineken, (ß0.276627
    0.28) which reflects the lower cost of capital
    that Heineken shows in Europe, where it displays
    more than 80 of its revenue

77
Recommendation
  • The actual price of the stock is 29.63 or
    US35.20 which is in line with the value obtained
  • Taking into account that the expected growth in
    the beer industry will be minimum or flat, and
    given the tight situation in Europe and the
    continuous process of consolidation in the
    industry, we recommend to HOLD the stock
  • Over the last years Heinekens growth has been
    determined principally by its continuous process
    of acquisitions and resulting synergies,
    (basically a zero-sum game) rather than in its
    presence in other markets
