Brewery news The Philippines: Philippines' San Miguel further trims F&B unit's IPO size, eyes $634 mln
San Miguel Corp, the Philippines’ largest company, is seeking to raise a mere P34 billion (about $634 million), less than half of its original target, through a sale of shares in its food unit after pricing the shares at the bottom of an indicative selling range, DEALSTREETASIA reported.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on October 25, the conglomerate said it will offer 400.94 million common shares in San Miguel Food and Beverage Inc at a price of P85 ($1.6) per share, the low end of the P85-95 price range it set last week.

This excludes an over-allotment option of up to 60.14 million common shares or 15 per cent of the offering.

The move marks yet another trimming of the IPO size by San Miguel Corp. In an amended filing last week, the company said it had slashed by a half the total number of shares it intends to sell to 523 million at a range of P85 to P95 per share due to weakness in the stock market.

The latest disclosure showed that the company further cut the size to 400.94 million, or less than half of its original plan to sell up to 1.02 billion ...More info on site


Brewery news India: Beer anti-trust probe triggered by AB InBev’s report to authorities - sources
An Indian anti-trust probe into beer price-fixing allegations was initiated after the world’s largest brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev told the authorities last year it had detected an industry cartel, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

AB InBev discovered the Indian operations it acquired as part of its around $100 billion acquisition of London-listed rival SABMiller Plc in 2016 had for years fixed beer prices along with Denmark’s Carlsberg and India’s United Breweries, which is part-owned by Heineken NV, the sources said.

AB InBev conducted an internal investigation in the first half of last year, after closing the SABMiller deal, and found that executives had discussed and agreed on their submission of ex-brewery beer production prices to Indian state governments. Those ex-brewery prices would include all the production and marketing costs, as well as a proposed profit margin, and were used by state governments to set a maximum retail price.

“It was startling,” one of the sources said. “Extensive pricing information about the competition, some of which is extremely confidential, was available to all the three companies.”

Earlier this month the Competition Commission of India (CCI) raided the offices of all the three brewers and found e-mails that showed executives were allegedly violating Indian ...More info on site


Brewery news Nigeria: Guinness Nigeria declares dividend of N4.03 bln for its shareholders
Guinness Nigeria Plc has declared a dividend of N4.03 billion for its shareholders for its financial year ended, June 30, 2018, translating to a dividend of N1.84 per share, the Vanguard reported on October 24.

Speaking at the 68th Annual General Meeting of the company, Chairman of Guinness Nigeria, Mr. Babatunde Savage, disclosed that the dividend represented an improvement of 318 per cent compared to a dividend of N963.77 million declared in 2017.

The dividend, which was approved by the shareholders, translated to a dividend per share of 184 kobo compared to 64 kobo per share in the 2017 financial year.

The company also recorded a 249 per cent increase in its profit after tax for the 2018 financial year, rising from N1.924 billion in 2017 to N6.72 billion in 2018.

This was on the back of a 31 per cent improvement in its operating profit, which rose to N13.39 billion, from N10.19 billion on the 2017 financial year.

The company’s revenue rose by 14 per cent to N142.98 billion in 2018 from N125.92 billion recorded in the 2017 financial year.

Commenting on its performance, Chairman of the company, Mr. Babatunde Savage, stated that despite the continued decline of the beer ...More info on site


Brewery news USA: Boston Beer Co. reports 24.2% increase in Q3 revenue
Boston Beer Company reported on October 25 its 2018 third-quarter earnings results, which were highlighted by a 24.2 percent increase in net revenue, to $306.9 million.

The company — which makes the Samuel Adams, Angry Orchard, Twisted Tea, and Truly Spiked & Sparkling products — credited the revenue growth to a 23.5 percent increase in shipments during the quarter, which ended September 29.

The company shipped about 1.3 million barrels of product, it said via a press release. Through the first 39 weeks of the year, Boston Beer has shipped about 3.3 million barrels of beer, hard cider and flavored malt beverages — a 16 percent increase from 2017.

Boston Beer’s year-to-date depletions are up 13 percent, driven primarily by growth within its non-beer portfolio.

Meanwhile, Q3 depletions increased 18 percent versus 2017. The company credited its growth during the quarter to the continued success of its Truly, Twisted Tea and Angry Orchard brands, while sales of its Samuel Adams offerings continued to decline.

“We believe that the acceleration in our depletions growth is attributable to our key innovations, quality and strong brands, as well as sales execution and support from our distributors,” Boston Beer founder Jim Koch said, via a press release.

Barley news Canada: Most Alberta malting barley growers disappointed by this year’s crop
Jeff Nielsen considers himself one of the lucky ones — he got all his barley off before winter-in-September weather arrived and knows it’s malt quality, the Alberta Express reported on October 24.

“If you got it off before all this crappy weather, you may have malt. If you still have barley now, it’s very doubtful that you have malt,” the Olds-area producer said earlier this month.

But Nielsen’s luck only goes so far. Malt prices are unlikely to go up much even though snow and rain will see a big chunk of the acres seeded to malt varieties downgraded to feed.

“By no stretch of the imagination is there as much good barley as last year,” said Kevin Sich, supply chain director with Rahr Malting.

However, Sich said he has secured sufficient supplies and although he doesn’t know about the situation of other malting companies, he’s not hearing of shortages.

“Saying we don’t have enough at the moment… I don’t know if that’s a fair statement right now until we wrap this harvest up.”

Part of that is because malting companies had good supplies from last year, said Jerry Klassen, manager of Canadian operations for Swiss-based GAP S.A. Grains and Produits.

“Last year’s crop was very high ...More info on site


Barley news France: 61% of winter barley sown by October 23
FranceAgriMer estimates 61% of the winter barley sown by Oct 23rd , vs 44% last week (and vs 72% same time last year), GrainCom analysts reported on October 26.

Conditions are still dry, although a bit of precipitation came down, but too little to make a difference.

Logistics remains very complicated in view of the very low water level at the European river systems.

Cash markets are mostly quiet, also because of the gathering at the ECE 2018 in Rouen.
