Brewery news Singapore: ThaiBev enters into 5-year term loan agreement to repay existing debt
Thai Beverage (ThaiBev) announced that it has entered into a five-year term loan agreement with Mizuho Bank, Singapore Branch and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Singapore Branch for an amount of JPY 66 billion ($609.3 million) to repay existing debt due in Feb 2024, The Edge Singapore reported on September 19.

The drawdown period is from Feb 27, 2024 to Mar 5, 2024.

The loan repayments will be in three instalments on the 36th month, 48th month and 60th month, respectively after the drawdown date. This loan is unsecured.

Interest bearing debt to equity ratio is less than or equal to 3:1, based on the audited consolidated financial statement.

The group says that it has a cross-currency swap and interest rate swap credit line that it can consider using to mitigate foreign exchange and interest rate risk.

While this loan is not expected to have any material impact on ThaiBev’s financial year, its total debt stands at $214.9 million and gearing comes in at 1.045x as at Sept 30, 2022.

Shares in ThaiBev closed at 57 cents on Sept 19.


Brewery news Hungary: Competition Authority fines Heineken for breaching new trading rules
The Hungarian Competition Authority has fined Heineken Hungária Sörgyárak Zrt. (Heineken Hungary Breweries Zrt.) HUF 15 million (EUR 39,100) for narrowing its beer range and ordered it to establish a compliance program, reports Magyar Nemzet.

The organization’s investigation revealed that Heineken, despite the legal prohibition, had established an almost exclusive supplier cooperation with a restaurant in the capital. The Dutch-owned beer company thus encouraged the restaurant to source almost all its beer from Heineken.

By doing so, the companies have breached the new trading rules by limiting consumer choice and preventing other beer producers from competing, it was ruled.

The Authority’s Competition Council took into account that Heineken is a repeat offender in view of a previous failure to act and that the conduct under investigation was specifically aimed at circumventing the regulation, which was intended to facilitate the entry of smaller players.

In light of these considerations, Heineken Hungária Sörgyárak Zrt. was fined HUF 15 million on the basis of the turnover of the only restaurant investigated, and the Competition Council prohibited the continuation of the infringing conduct.

The Hungarian Competition Authority also ordered the brewer to set up an internal compliance program to ensure that its business conditions do not encourage pubs to ...More info on site


Brewery news USA: AB InBev signals new focus on its Michelob beer brand
Anheuser-Busch InBev has elevated its low calorie lager Michelob Ultra to the status of "global brand", according to an investor presentation held on September 19, positioning it to better compete with Dutch rival Heineken, Reuters reported.

The world's largest brewer previously bestowed that title on just three of its biggest-hitting labels, Budweiser, Corona and Stella Artois, as recently as Aug. 3. But presentation slides on September 19 included Michelob Ultra, already a big hit in the U.S., in the group.

Chief Marketing Officer Marcel Marcondes added during the presentation that the company now sees Corona as its "leading horse" globally. Alcohol-free version, Corona Cero, meanwhile, will be its number one focus in the no-alcohol category.

The moves see AB InBev squaring up with rival Heineken, whose new light beer Heineken Silver is looking to win share in in the critical U.S. market, and whose Heineken 0.0% is the global market share leader in the no-alcohol category.

Light beers, which contain fewer calories and carbohydrates, are gaining traction as consumers become increasingly health conscious. AB InBev's Bud Light previously dominated the category in the U.S., but lost its top spot following a backlash from conservatives over a social media promotion with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
