PRESS RELEASE

   

 

COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

We are pleased with CCU’s third quarter 2013 overall performance, where the EBITDA grew 6.2%. On organic basis, EBITDA increased 6.0% driven by Chile and Wine business segments.

Chile business segment EBITDA increased 10.3%. Organically, EBITDA grew 8.9% driven by Beer Chile operational segment which contributed with 7.7% growth and Non-alcoholic beverages with 15.9%, mainly as a consequence of higher volumes coupled with higher average prices. This higher average price was mainly due to price increases done in the first half and in the third quarter 2013.

Wine business segment showed a significant 20.4% EBITDA organic growth this quarter due to higher average prices and lower grapes cost.

During this quarter, in Chile, we faced important distribution expenses pressure due to higher real salaries caused by unemployment rate drop and higher cost of oil.

Rio de la Plata business segment EBITDA, measured in USD, decreased from 9.1 million to 6.8 million. Net Sales, in USD terms, raised 3.8% this quarter in CCU Argentina operational segment due to price increases partially compensated by lower sales volumes. Price adjustments have allowed us to partially compensate inflationary pressures Consequently, measured in USD, EBITDA decreased from 9.1 million to 7.6 million, as well as it decreased from CLP 4,326 million to CLP 3,881 million.

As we mentioned in our previous press release on August 7, 2013, our extraordinary shareholder’s meeting approved on June 18, 2013 a capital increase through the issuance of 51,000,000 new shares of common stock. We successfully closed our capital increase process, which subscribed 49,957,479 new shares of common stock, raising CLP 324,724 million. The subscription was 98.0% of the total offering, the remaining 1,042,521 shares are expected to be subscribed through one or more auctions/remates  on November 8, 2013.

The proceeds of the mentioned capital increase will be used to fund our expansion plan, which contemplates organic and inorganic growth. Looking ahead, we are confident that our operational excellence supported with consistent branding efforts, will keep CCU on the path of healthy development.

As we stated in our two previous Press Releases (May 2 and August 7, 2013), in the future, on a date to be defined, releases will disclose Chile 5, Rio de la Plata6 and Wine business segments only.

 


5 Chile includes the following operational segments: Beer Chile, Non-alcoholic beverages and Spirits.

6 Rio de la Plata includes the following operational segments: CCU Argentina and Uruguay.

NON-OPERATING RESULT

 

Q3’13    Decreased CLP 3,259 million from a loss of CLP 3,815 million to a loss of CLP 7,074 million mainly explained by:

·      Net financial expenses which increased CLP 2,769 million to a loss of CLP 5,100 million, due to higher debt in Argentina in Q3’13 at ARS nominal interest rate. 

·      Results as per adjustment units which decreased CLP 1,197 million, mainly due to 1.04% increase of the UF value in Q3’13 compared with 0.16% decrease of the UF in Q3’12.

Partially compensated by:

·      Other gains/(losses) and Foreign currency exchange differences which increased CLP 521 million mainly due to gains related to hedges covering foreign exchange variations on taxes.

 

2013      Decreased CLP 1,760 million from a loss of CLP 12,183 to a loss of CLP 13,944 million, due mostly to higher Net financial expenses partially compensated by Other gains/(losses) and Results as per adjustment units.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS HIGHLIGHTS (Exhibits 3 and 4

 

1.    CHILE 

                   

Net sales increased 15.3% to CLP 172,248 million as a result of 15.0% higher sales volume coupled with 0.3% higher average prices. On organic basis, Net sales increased 13.8% as a result of 9.9% higher organic sales volume coupled with 3.5 % increase in average prices.

 

EBIT increased 11.1% to CLP 30,502 million due to 15.3% higher Net sales, partially offset by 13.8% higher Cost of Sales and 18.6% higher MSD&A expenses. Cost of sales, as a percentage of Net sales, decreased from 46.9% to 46.3% and MSD&A, as a percentage of Net sales, increased from 35.1% to 36.1%, mainly explained by higher distribution costs and selling expenses. The EBIT margin decreased from 18.4% to 17.7%. On organic basis, EBIT increased 10.3% due to 13.8% higher Net sales, partially offset by 12.9 % higher Cost of sales and 15.8% higher MSD&A expenses. The EBIT margin decreased from 18.4% to 17.8 %.

 

EBITDA increased 10.3% to CLP 39,695 million and the EBITDA margin decreased from 24.1% to 23.0%. On organic basis, EBITDA increased 8.9% to CLP 39,186 million and the EBITDA margin decreased from 24.1% to 23.0%.

 

-  BEER CHILE

Net sales increased 12.3% to CLP 76,283 million as a result of 7.3% higher average prices coupled with 4.7% higher sales volume.

EBIT increased 10.6% to CLP 17,931  million because of 12.3% higher Net sales, partially offset by 13.3% higher Cost of Sales and 11.8% higher MSD&A expenses. Cost of sales, as a percentage of Net sales, increased from 41.6% to 42.0% due to higher one-way packaging sales and higher malt cost this quarter. MSD&A, as a percentage of Net sales, decreased from 34.7% to 34.6% despite higher distribution costs. The EBIT margin decreased from 23.9% to 23.5%.

EBITDA increased 7.7% to CLP 22,813 million and the EBITDA margin decreased from 31.2% to 29.9%.

Comments In July, we successfully implemented a price increase for our entire portfolio. The launch of Escudo Negra not only resulted in volume growth for the brand itself, it also reignited consumer interest in the entire dark beer segment, thus driving overall market growth. We will continue implementing value-adding innovations as a way to strengthen both our market position as well as lead growth in per capita consumption. This quarter we launched Royal Guard Black Label, an extension of our premium brand Royal Guard. This launch is still at its initial stage. However, having created confidence with our customers through the previous launches of new products we have seen a very swift distribution build-up. Also this innovation was launched at a higher price point than the mother brand, as was the case previously with Cristal Cero, Cristal Light and Escudo Negra.

PRESS RELEASE

 

 

-  NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

Net sales increased 18.7% to CLP 76,574 million. On organic basis, Net Sales increased 15.3% as a result of 13.3% volume growth coupled with 1.7% increase in average prices. Outstanding organic volume growth was delivered by every category: nectar 26.5%, water 14.6% and soft drinks 9.5%.

EBIT increased 17.9%  to CLP 10,658  million due to 24.7%  higher Gross profit, as a consequence of higher Net sales, partially compensated by 12.5% increase in Cost of sales. Nevertheless, Cost of sales, as a percentage of Net sales, decreased from 48.9% to 46.4% mainly explained by lower sugar cost. The higher Gross profit was partially offset by 27.0% growth in MSD&A expenses explained by higher distribution costs. EBIT margin decreased from 14.0% to 13.9%. On organic basis, EBIT increased 15.6% due to 19.9% higher Gross profit partially compensated by 20.8% increase in MSD&A expenses.  Consequently, EBIT margin increased from 14.0% to 14.1%.

EBITDA increased 20.1% to CLP 14,472 million and the EBITDA margin increased from 18.7% to 18.9%. On organic basis, EBITDA increased 15.9% to CLP 13,963 million and its margin increased from 18.7% to 18.8%.

Comments Volumes continued with the trend shown in the past quarters, given growth in all categories. Non-carbonated beverages had an excellent performance mainly due to consumer trends consolidation (look and feel good) and market share expansion, in particular nectar. As for the carbonated beverages, market share has increased in the cola segment, although the category has a lower growth rate. During the quarter we faced an increase in promotional activities, intensifying the competitive environment.

-  SPIRITS 

Net sales increased 14.5% to CLP 19,391 million as a result of 7.4% higher volumes coupled with 6.6% higher average prices.

          

EBIT decreased 13.0% to CLP 1,913  million mainly due to 19.2%  higher Cost of sales due to higher cost of raw materials driven by higher Pisco grapes cost and an increase in third parties distillation, partially offset by 14.5% higher Net Sales. MSD&A expenses increased 10.7%  to CLP 5,319  million mostly explained by higher distribution costs. EBIT margin decreased from 13.0% to 9.9%.

 

EBITDA decreased 12.4% to CLP 2,410 million and the EBITDA margin decreased from 16.2% to 12.4%.

 

Comments Volume increase is mostly explained by the performance in the pisco category, partly driven by an increase in our customer’s inventories due to a Pisco price increase announced in August. This price increase is to compensate for higher Cost of sales, which is mainly caused by the intense drought suffered in the regions where (designation of origin) Pisco grapes are produced.

2.    RIO DE LA PLATA

EBIT, measured in Chilean pesos, decreased 71.2% to CLP 753 million in Q3’13, as a result of 17.9% increase in MSD&A expenses due to inflationary pressure, distribution costs, selling and marketing expenses, not fully compensated by higher Net sales. Therefore, Cost of sales and MSD&A, as a percentage of Net sales, increased from 41.5% to 43.5% and from 53.9% to 55.8%, respectively. EBIT margin decreased from 4.8% to 1.2%. On organic basis, EBIT decreased 51.9% due to 15.5% increase in MSD&A expenses.

-  CCU ARGENTINA

Net sales, measured in Chilean pesos, increased 10.2% to CLP 60,498 million as a result of 12.6% higher average prices partially offset by 2.2% lower sales volume.

EBIT, measured in Chilean pesos, decreased 51.9% to CLP 1,260 million mainly due to 15.5% higher MSD&A expenses, despite the Gross profit increase of 9.4% which, as a percentage of Net sales, decreased from 58.5% to 58.1%. MSD&A as a percentage of Net sales, increased from 53.9% to 56.5%, mainly due to higher distribution costs, selling and marketing expenses. EBIT margin decreased from 4.8% to 2.1%.

EBITDA decreased 10.3% to CLP 3,881 million this quarter and the EBITDA margin dropped from 7.9% to 6.4%. Measured in USD, EBITDA decreased from 9.1 million to 7.6 million.

Comments In USD terms, Net Sales raised 3.8% this quarter due to price increases and lower discounts to our customers, partially compensated by lower sales volumes, in line with industry decline. Price adjustments have allowed us to partially compensate higher MSD&A expenses given inflationary pressures. During the quarter, we have continued with the implementation of the proprietary bottle park renewal.

-  URUGUAY 

 

The integration of the acquired operation in Uruguay is progressing well and in line with management plans. As of Q3 2013, CCU Uruguay has moved its Administrative, Sales and Distribution operations to a new distribution center in Montevideo and has taken its first step into direct distribution. The company has completed the integration of its beer portfolio, transitioning the Heineken, Budweiser and Schneider brands to its route to market. The new image of the Nativa Mineral Water brand was introduced to the market in September together with a new marketing campaign.   

 

Measured in Chilean pesos, this quarter results delivered CLP 2,033 million of Net sales and 134 thousand hectoliter volume sales. EBITDA amounted to a loss of CLP 419 million. Cost of sales where higher than in previous quarters due to depreciation of the Uruguayan Peso which impacted imported raw materials cost. Furthermore, the competitive environment has affected margins.

 

 

 

3.    WINE 

 

Net sales increased 6.9% to CLP 42,628 million due to 2.4% increase in volumes and 4.5% higher average price, when expressed in Chilean pesos. The Chile Domestic average price increased 5.7% as a result of better sales mix.

EBIT increased 20.6% to CLP 4,820 million mainly due to higher volumes and prices. Cost of sales increased 2.3% and as a percentage of Net sales, it decreased from 61.4% to 58.7%, mainly due to lower grapes costs related with 2013 good harvest. MSD&A expenses increased 10.7% mainly due to higher marketing expenses and distribution costs. EBIT margin increased from 10.0% to 11.3%.

EBITDA increased 20.4% to CLP 6,685 million and the EBITDA margin increased from 13.9% to 15.7%.

Comments The results of the third quarter are positively influenced by the depreciation of the Chilean peso, lower costs of wine, and a good performance in the Domestic market. Additionally, we have continued with our strategy to invest more in marketing (brand building). In the Exports market we have had a good performance, but with some concerns in Brazil, Venezuela and Colombia.
