MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW:

 

Beer is the world’s most consumed alcoholic beverage and third most popular drink after water and tea. However, the consumption pattern in India is distinctly different from other countries, as alcohol consumption is skewed towards spirits. The per capita consumption of beer in India is very low – at about 1.5 liter per capita it is 5% of the global average. They believe that the primary reasons for the extremely low consumption of beer are the tax structure, which does not differentiate between the alcohol content of various classes of beverages, and the low penetration of outlets for the sale and consumption of beer in India.

 

In India, spirits and beer are treated as similar alcoholic beverages and therefore, taxed on a similar basis without taking into account the fact that beer contains about 5-7% of alcohol by volume, whereas spirits contain over 40% of alcohol by volume. The result of this policy is that the consumer price of beer is 2 to 3 times higher than that of spirits on an equivalent alcohol basis.

 

In the context of availability, beer and spirits are viewed alike by the Excise Authorities, and the number of Points of Sale for beer is very low in the country. This too results in the suppression of beer consumption. In many parts of the country, the wholesale, and at times the retail distribution points, are controlled by the State Government. Moreover, in about 60% of India, the State dictates the price at which beer can be sold by the brewers.

 

Notwithstanding the constraints mentioned above, they believe the future of the industry is very bright. As the economy develops, disposable incomes will keep rising and this in combination with the young demography of the country, will spur growth in the beer industry. The size of the Indian beer industry in the year was approximately 225 million cases, showing a compounded annual growth rate of around 13% in the past 5 years. During the year the industry grew by 18%. Salience of the strong beer segment continues to increase and strong beer now accounts for an estimated 79% of volumes sold.

 

Subject has not only successfully overcome the challenges of the industry, but also outpaced several global beer brands that have entered India in the recent past. In the process, the Company has increased its market share and widened the gap with its competitors. The Central and State Governments have been considering a harmonized Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) regime for a number of years, but have not been able to conclude on the terms of this regime. Most notably, there is likelihood that the alcoholic beverages industry is excluded from GST altogether. Exclusion of an industry is against the foundation of GST and would not achieve the stated objective of creating a uniform market with uniform taxes.

 

OPERATIONS:

 

SALES:

 

The Company had an excellent year in which volumes grew by 23%, crossing the land mark figure of 125 million cases. The net sales for the year 2010-2011 stood at Rs.30132 million as against net sales of Rs.19975.000 millions in the previous year, registering a growth of 51%.  In the year, their combined national market share reached 54%, which is more than twice the size of the nearest competitor. This is achieved through a national market share of 69% in the mild beer market, and 50% of the strong beer market. UBL achieved market leadership in the State of Andhra Pradesh for the first time, and strengthened its presence in Orissa and Uttar Pradesh.

 

The ubiquitous Kingfisher brand continues to be the largest selling beer brand in India, with a volume growth of 20% during the year. ‘Kingfisher Ultra’, ‘Kingfisher Blue’ and ‘Kingfisher Red’ are the latest additions to the Kingfisher portfolio, and have been received well in the market and are being rolled out across the country. The Company received two International Awards at the World Beer Awards 2010, as well as three national awards for excellence in packing at IndiaStar 2010. Kingfisher Premium and Kingfisher Strong received awards in Asia’s Best Lager Premium and Asia’s Best Lager Strong categories respectively. Kingfisher Ultra’s bottle design, Kingfisher’s Premium fourpack carrier and the Kingfisher premium gift pack were awarded at the IndiaStar 2010.

 

MANUFACTURING:

 

Manufacturing expenses for the financial year 2010-2011 were Rs.15067.000 millions, constituting 50.0% of net sales, as against Rs.10088.000 millions in the previous financial year, which constituted 50.6% of net sales. In the previous financial year, the Company started the infusion of patented bottles in order to secure the availability of bottles and to obtain efficiencies in the cost of bottles. Such bottles with embossed name and logo of the Company cannot be used by other brewers and are to be necessarily supplied back to the Company by the bottle vendors. This strategy is showing positive results, with the cost of recycled patented bottles being significantly lower compared to similar “industry” bottles. The Company intends to complete the establishment of a patented bottle pool across India in the financial year ending 31 March 2012, and the cost associated with accelerated investment in new patented bottles is expected to be recovered in the coming years. The Company has agreements in place for the supply of malt, barley and bottles.

 

Most of the units have installed solid fuel boilers, which has resulted in a reduction in fuel cost. In order to further reduce power consumption, the Company is exploring conversion of organic waste into energy to obtain savings in electricity cost in an environmentally sustainable manner. The breweries are continuously improving efficiencies in the brewing process and in packaging, thereby containing overall manufacturing cost. In order to keep pace with the growing demand, the Company proposes to expand its capacity through expansion of its existing breweries, building new breweries, and entering into new contract brewing agreements where required. The proposed Greenfield brewery at Nanjangud, Karnataka is expected to be commissioned in the next financial year. In view of the rapid growth, the Company is commencing a Greenfield brewery in the state of Bihar. The acquisition of land for this purpose at Naubatpur, Patna through the Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority is completed.

 

The Company has augmented brewing capacity by amalgamations of its associate companies viz., UB Nizam, CBPL and UB Ajanta Breweries Private Limited (‘UB Ajanta’) that operate in the vital markets of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. Prior to the Scheme of Amalgamation, the management secured its rights over the CBPL brewery by payment of facility advance to the promoters of Balaji Distilleries Limited (now CBPL) which stands amalgamated into the Company. While the scheme for merger of UB Ajanta is pending approval by BIFR, the Company has secured its capacity by executing a management agreement.

NOTES:

 

1. The Company is engaged in manufacture, purchase and sale of Beer including licensing of brands, which constitutes a single business segment. The Company also considers the whole of India as a single geographical segment.

 

2. The investment in Maltex Malsters Limited (MML), which had a carrying value of Rs. 450.000 Millions, has been revalued at Rs. 254.100 Millions. The provision for the diminution appears under Exceptional items in item No.8 in the attached financials. The diminution in book value of this investment has been due to continued delays in obtaining necessary approvals to expand its malting facility at Patiala. Considering the constraints in MML’s expansion plans and the high overhead costs incurred on operating at its current level of capacity, the investment has been valued based on the commercial value of the land on which the business is currently situated on.
