  3. Global brewing industry : Geographic shifts Global brewing industry : In the past • Beer consumption - predominantly being driven by geographies like NA, Europe, Australia • - Became an integral part of culture • - Remained no more a discretionary item of expenditure • Relatively large geographies – high population, high growth potential were still untapped • Prevalence of local beers in untapped geographies – sans premiumization • Mature markets –became more & more fragmented • Stiff competition, slow growing consumer base – squeezing margins & declining growth • Emerging markets became next frontier – on the back of growing population & affluence • Obvious first targets : - Latin America – cultural alignment with Europe • - SE Asia – growing affluence & rapid urbanization • Next in line – China & India

  8. SABMiller : Building locally, winning globally Company that has grown out of acquisitions 1895 2003 2008 2008 Vision : To be most admired company in global beer industry Key facts : 200 brands, 6 continents, 75 countries Source : Company Reports

  9. SABMiller : Threats & opportunities • Threat from ABInBev • Having realized more than 90% • of the total $2.5 Bn of cost • synergies from integration in • 2008 is at more than • comfortable debt level with • debt/EBITDA almost reaching 2.0x • Potential comeback of M&A on • strategic agenda • With gloomy scenario in NA due to • spend cuts, unemployment at 9% • leading to squeezing margins AB will • look to strengthen its position in • EMs like LatAm & Asia • This may lead to AB eating away • SAB’s pie from its stronghold • markets SABMiller’s massive exposure to emerging markets -requires sustained investments and demand for higher FCF generation Rising raw material and crude prices pushing transportation costs higher Associating with an established player in emerging markets who can generate cash on a sustainable basis 30% of SABM’s net profit comes from its associates like Molson Coors & CRE – sizeable, cash hungry and less controlled by SABM, leading to shared access to the associates’ cash flows Market share consolidation may give increased negotiating power with retailers and suppliers Dominance of mega retailers – increased control on margins, introduction of private labels

  10. SABMiller : Financial strength • Leverage • No current plans of accelerating distribution of funds to shareholders • Funds are primarily diverted towards keeping the leverage levels within targeted 1.5x – 2.0x debt/EBITDA range • Ratio of CFO/debt has been increasing continuously over the last 3 years – 32-38% in 2008 to 48% in 2011 • Average debt maturity decreasing - 4 years in 2011 & which was 4.7 years in 2010 • Liquidity • In position to generate strong medium term FCFs despite capex & dividends distribution • Generated discretionary cash flows of $1.4 Bn over the last two years • $3.2 Bn of undrawn committed credit facilities • $1.1 Bn of cash available against $1.3 billion short term maturities • Financial position • Strengthening – availability of free cash & reducing leverage • Sufficient headroom under company’s debt covenants • In position to improve price/mix to mitigate volatile agro commodities costs, • negative currency effects & weak consumer sentiment SABMiller comfortably poised to make provisions for additional means of financing to fund further growth plans Source : Company Reports

  11. Way forward • SAB can look for complementing the group’s current footprint with a well established local business • With such a move SAB can strengthen its position in LatAm & Africa which will help it pose its defenses • against a possible advent of AB • Consolidation in Asia not only will increase Asian region’s contribution to its top line but also will take it to • such a level which will make it difficult for AB to counter • SAB can gain significant scale advantage over its other peers as well

  12. Carlsberg : Brand as many, but stand as one Vision : To be the fastest growing global beer company Regional presence with no. of breweries 27 10 7 19 6 4 3rd largest market share holder globally Key facts : 200 brands, 2 continents, 50 countries One of the earliest to go for internationalization, but not as aggressive as competitors in market penetration After establishing stronghold in Russia, poised to embark on Asian growth with sustained expansion in China & Indochina Source : Company Reports

  13. SABMiller – Carlsberg integration Geographic footprint of Carlsberg - highly complementary to that of SABMiller Combined entity will be the largest player in China, S-E Asia, Germany, UK Combined entity SABMiller : Emerging Markets (EM)  Mature Markets (MM), Carlsberg : MM  EM, Enhanced regional strength in EMs Increased concentration in EMs & resulting market dominance of combined entity will be key driver to profitability Financials comforting the level of debt & liquidity Enhanced FCF generating ability of the combined entity will satiate the overlapping need for capex required for strengthening position in emerging markets SABMiller’s dependency on associates for cash generation from emerging markets will shift to combined entity Source : Company Reports, Datamonitor

  14. SABMiller – Carlsberg integration • Complementary product portfolios • Absence of a flagship premium brand from SABMiller’s product portfolio will be filled by the crown jewel – ‘Carlsberg’ – possible • launch in markets like LatAm and NorthAm • Carlsberg’s energy and soft drink business - natural diversification of SAB’s portfolio – building image in health conscious society • Carlsberg’s new repositioning strategy can be leveraged upon to launch SAB’s local brands in E Europe & NW Europe markets • Operational efficiencies – economies of scale, higher negotiating power with suppliers & retailers • Access to each other’s breweries – benefits of economies of scale along with optimization • SABMiller’s bottling plants can be expanded to accommodate Carlsberg’s products • Carlsberg’s SKU rationalization & standardization strategy can be extended to SAB’s products • Synergies through cross utilization of human resources • Sales & marketing synergies • R & D – Combined effort would be even more fruitful • Carlsberg’s development of a new yeast strain, together with a relatively new high yielding strain of barley will help • keeping beer fresher for longer. This is of particular importance in emerging markets, such as India and Russia, with long • transport hours and hot warehouses in summer months • SABMiller’s new low gauge beer crown is expected to reduce requirement of steel by 10%, leading to annual cost savings of • about $ 12 Mn in material costs alone (Backus’s design uses 0.17 mm gauge, instead of the industry standard of 0.22-0.24 mm) Strategic fit Both the companies follow the strategy of premiumization of local brands

  15. Alternatives to Carlsberg Anadolu EFES Heineken NV Asahi Holdings • Next best alternative for Carlsberg • Strong footprint in Africa and scope for • market share consolidation in MM • 5th largest in Europe and 13th in the World • 5th largest bottler for Coca Cola • Market leader position in Japan can be • leveraged upon to expand further • Smaller geographic footprint • Relatively new player, no big brands • Product portfolio too diversified to be a • pure brewer • Family driven holding structure • Smaller footprint in other EMs Source : Company Reports, Datamonitor
