China Food and Drink Report Q3 2012

The prospect of an investment-led hard landing in China remains our overriding concern, and consumer
activity would clearly not be able to escape unscathed from a sharp correction in exports and investment
given the correlated nature of the Chinese economy. Any retrenchment in the export processing and
construction industries, which are major employers of Chinese labour, would inevitably lead to an
erosion of consumer confidence and dampen out-of-home consumption. Nonetheless, looking beyond the
near-term demand uncertainties, China remains a very attractive market for consumer-facing players as
reflected in its pole position in our risk/reward ratings. The immaturity of the Chinese market translates
into a higher-margin environment for consumer goods investors, although the rapid emergence of
competition is increasingly eroding the operating margins of domestic companies.

Headline Industry Data

• 2012 food consumption = +12.0%; compound annual growth rate (CAGR) forecast to 2016 =
• +10.6%
• 2012 alcoholic drinks value sales = +9.5%; CAGR forecast to 2016 = +8.7%
• 2012 soft drinks value sales = +11.4%; CAGR forecast to 2016 = +8.7%
• 2012 mass grocery retail sales = +8.8%; CAGR forecast to 2016 = +7.4%

Key Company Trends
An Increasingly Competitive Retail Landscape – Lawson plans to get more aggressive in its expansions
across China, with a penchant for acquisitional growth. Lawson currently has about 355 stores in China
and aims to set up around 10,000 stores by 2020. This is an ambitious goal, in our view, which probably
explains why Lawson is opting for inorganic growth in the Chinese market. Lawson is reportedly in
discussions with at least three MGR operators in China. By pursuing M&As in China, Lawson could reap
instant distribution scale and greatly expedite its expansions across the market. AEON plans to inaugurate
stores in China’s fast growing inland regions, such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. The retailer
expects to register a rise in its sales by 30 times to JPY3.6trn (US$43.79bn) in China by 2020.

Meanwhile, China-based supermarket chain Suguo Supermarket is set to more than double its
workforce in 2012 as part of its attempt to carry out a huge expansion of its store network.
Witnessing Strong Sales Growth But A Weaker Profit Showing – Chinese dairy producer China Mengniu
Dairy reported strong revenue growth of 23.5% for the year ending December 2011, in line with BMI’s
view that the company’s sturdy fundamentals would leave it strongly placed to rebuild its reputation and
outperform the broader industry. While the majority of food producers in China are struggling to contend
with the impact of inflationary pressure on their bottom lines, Mengniu has coped admirably.

The  company maintained its gross profit margin at 25.7% and improved its net profit margin from 4.1% in
FY2010 to 4.3% currently. Want Want, meanwhile, reported a 31.3% increase in its overall revenues for
the year ending December 2011. However, amid an inflationary environment in 2011, Want Want’s
profitability has come under greater pressure. Although Want Want has reported a 17% increase in its
2011 profit, which was largely supported by its strong revenue growth, we observed that its gross profit
margin fell by 2.8% to 34.8% in FY2011 as it faced higher costs of key raw materials such as sugar,
wheat, palm oil and milk powder.

Risks To Outlook
We continue to expect lacklustre growth in the Chinese economy in 2012. There is no sign that the global
economy will pick up anytime soon, with the eurozone trapped in a prolonged slump and the US
muddling through at best. Returning to the hard landing checklist that we put together at the start of the
year, we see a mixed but generally weak picture. On the negative side, a contraction in the manufacturing
sector has clearly occurred. Problems in the banking sector also continue to be papered over by stealth
bailouts, preventing greater instability but undoubtedly coming at the expense of future growth. These
will inevitably weigh on consumer sentiment. Of greater concern to us is the ongoing property price
correction in the country, which would not only hurt consumer confidence but also dampen consumer
purchasing power. Double-digit house price declines are underway, with a slew of private sector data
suggesting that there is no end to the decline in activity in the property market.

Carbonates in Ukraine

In 2010 and 2011, carbonates was boosted by the beginnings of economic recovery in the country and other factors. Two hot summers stimulated the consumption of carbonates, especially impulse buys. The major sales of 0.5 litre bottles (individual packs) take place in summer, while two litre bottles (family packs) are popular in winter.

Cameroon Food and Drink Report Q3

We hold a positive view towards Cameroon’s food, drink and mass grocery retail industries over our forecast period, in line with our broadly positive view on the country’s consumer sector, which is already one of the region’s most established. We expect consumer spending power to grow in line with the country’s strong medium-term growth outlook, with growth in economic activity driven by the ongoing expansion of the country’s oil industry and the subsequent inflow of investment into the market. This will feed through into falling unemployment, growing consumer confidence and increased spending.

Key Forecasts Total food consumption growth in 2012: 7.9 % year-on-year (y-o-y); compound annual growth to 2016: 9.5%.

Mass grocery retail sales growth in 2012:10.8%; compound annual growth to 2016: 14.7%. Beer sales growth in 2012: 3.7%; compound annual growth to 2016: 4.1%. Key Trends Population Growth: In line with the wider Sub-Saharan African region, a major factor in West and Central Africa’s appeal to investors is its favourable population dynamics. Nigeria, with its massive population, leads the pack in this regard. However, Cameroon’s population dynamics are also a major plus point for investors. The country’s 20.0mn-strong population (as of 2011) will grow to 24.1mn by 2020 and by an enormous 88% to 38.5mn in 2050. Most notable is the age profile of the population; in 2012, 51% of Cameroon’s population is forecast to be younger than 20, and this provides immense longterm growth opportunities for regional investors.

Formalisation of Retailing: Throughout the region, our forecasts for mass grocery retail sales growth outstrip our forecasts for food consumption growth, although it should be noted that both are broadly impressive. The outperformance of retail will be a result of the ongoing formalisation of the sector and the fact that it is, in most cases, coming from an exceptionally low base. The addition of just a few modern retail outlets, which cause shoppers to trade up and away from traditional independent stores and marketplaces, will have a massive impact on growth in the sector. In Cameroon, we estimate that only around 2% of grocery retail sales are accounted for by the organised sector, providing tremendous room for growth.

Risk/Reward Ratings: Cameroon is in 10th place out of the 13 regional markets that are ranked for Sub- Saharan Africa within BMI’s Food & Drink Risk/Reward Ratings. The country scores above the regional average in terms of rewards – an illustration of the massive growth opportunities available in the region.
However, it scores below average in terms of risk, highlighting the challenge that investors face in fully realising this potential opportunity. Overall, Cameroon ranks just below the Sub-Saharan Africa average in our regional ratings.

Tea in Russia

Tea has long been a traditional beverage in Russia and the category is close to saturation with tea being consumed by more than 90% of Russian citizens. Although retail volume sales reached 180,000 tonnes in 2011, tea experienced a slight slowdown in retail volume growth on 2010. The main reason for this slowdown is the already high level of popularity of tea among Russian consumers as a result of which there is very little room for growth in the consumer base for tea. Another reason for the...

Czech Republic Food and Drink Report Q3

The Czech consumer outlook continues to remain extremely challenging. In light of a still weak economic outlook for the German economy, we hold to our forecast for the Czech Republic to experience lacklustre growth this year. We forecast a mere 0.1% real GDP growth this year, down from 1.7% in 2011. Weakened external demand and persistently depressed consumer sentiment, part ongoing fiscal austerity measures, will continue to impede activity.

Headline Industry Data (local currency)  2012 per capita food consumption = -0.1%; forecast to 2016 = +6.7%  2012 beer volume sales = -0.4%; forecast to 2016 = +0.16% 2012 confectionery volume sales = +2.3%; forecast to 2016 = +12.8%  2012 mass grocery retail (MGR) sales = -3.1%; forecast to 2016 = +5.1% Key Company Trends Molson Coors Acquires StarBev: In early 2012, US-Canadian brewer Molson Coors announced the acquisition of StarBev from private equity group CVC in a deal worth EUR2.65bn. StarBev operates nine breweries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and generated sales of approximately EUR0.7bn in 2011. The acquisition will help Molson Coors as it looks to extend sales beyond its core markets of the US, Canada and the UK as StarBev’s core markets are in CEE. The brewer plans to use StarBev, whose flagship beer is the Czech brand Staropramen, as a platform for growth and to sell its existing brands such as Carling.

Iceland Launches In Czech Republic: British frozen food retailer Iceland Foods has opened a pilot outlet in Plzen. The company, which was looking for growth opportunities in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland for about 18 months, aims to expand its business footprint in Eastern Europe. It opened the 2,500- square-foot store in conjunction with local franchise partner Czechfrost and it will act as a test for the market. Expansion, if it goes ahead, will not be part of a franchise arrangement as in other overseas territories.

Key Risks To Outlook Continued Slowdown In Eurozone: A more pronounced slowdown in the eurozone’s economic growth, particularly in Germany, would have a negative effect on the Czech Republic’s economic growth trajectory. Due to the high degree of trade integration with Germany, the Czech Republic’s economic recovery remains highly dependent on external demand staying elevated.

Croatia Food and Drink Report Q3

Our consumer outlook for Croatia takes into account the difficult domestic and external economic situation which will be further compounded by the March 2012 increase in value added tax (VAT) to 25%. Nevertheless, we highlight that the weak state of the domestic economy will see to it that a more pronounced increase in the price level is not felt this year. Similarly, food and drink value is not expected to rise dramatically as consumers increasingly turn to cheaper private label goods and cut down on nonessential spending.

Headline Industry Data (local currency) 2012 per capita food consumption = +0.62%; forecast compound growth rate to 2016 = +1.17% 2012 alcoholic drinks value sales = +1.12%; forecast compound growth rate to 2016 = +2.40% 2012 soft drinks value sales = +2.74%; forecast compound growth rate to 2016 = +4.66% 2012 mass grocery retail = +3.82%; forecast compound growth rate to 2016 = +5.03% Key Company Trends Leading Local Players Investing in Research and Development (R&D) – In March 2012, leading Croatian conglomerate Podravka announced its intention to create a new R&D unit, which will be part of its wider food and beverage business.

The unit comprises the following departments: product development, technology development and investment projects, agriculture development, ecology development and quality control and business quality. The move illustrates the company’s strategy to invest in novel products, which are likely to be marketed across the Balkans region and wider, given the sluggish domestic market conditions.

Dairy Industry Interrupted by Farmer Protests – A dispute between dairy farmers and local dairy Dukat, part of French dairy product company Lactalis, intensified with the former taking part in protests over the lowering of the price of milk by the latter. In January 2012, talks between milk producers of the European Milk Board (EMB) member organisation HSUPM and Dukat Dairy and Croatia's Ministry of Agriculture began, but were halted in mid-February without results. Nevertheless, milk farmers – urged by the Croatian Association of Milk Producers (HSUPM) – who had taken to the streets, blocking roads with their tractors, agreed to end their strike in March 2012.

Consumers Remain Receptive to Private Label Goods – Private label food and drink products have gained considerable ground in Croatia over the past years, on account of difficult economic conditions and downward pressures on consumer confidence levels. According to a recent GfK survey, some 60% of local consumers buy private label goods occasionally, while a further 20% do so regularly.

Key Risks To Outlook Risks Firmly Remain to the Downside – On the home front, a significant portion of spending cuts – necessary to rein in budgetary deficit – will come from cuts in subsidies to state companies and via the public sector wage bill, all of which will further impact the already weak discretionary spending. On the external front, falling tourist arrivals and weaker export prospects on account of the struggling eurozone performance will continue to dampen the country’s chances for economic recovery.
