Rating Rationale
TRIS Rating affirms the company rating of Thai Beverage PLC (ThaiBev) at “AA-”. The rating reflects ThaiBev’s leading position in the Thai alcoholic beverages industry, strong cash flow, as well as ample liquidity. The rating also takes into consideration the benefits ThaiBev receives from its well-established production base and its extensive distribution network. These strengths are partially constrained by intense competition, softening performance in non-alcoholic beverages segment, as well as tightened regulations and increased excise tax in the alcoholic beverage industry.
ThaiBev was founded in 2003. ThaiBev Group is a leading manufacturer and distributer of alcoholic beverages in Thailand. ThaiBev’s operation has expanded into non-alcoholic beverages and food business. The company was listed on Singapore Exchange (SGX) in 2006. At the end of May 2014, the Sirivadhanabhakdi family was the major shareholder, controlling about 68% of ThaiBev’s outstanding shares.
ThaiBev’s business profile is very strong, supported by its leading position in the alcoholic beverages industry in Thailand. ThaiBev had about 95% share in terms of volume in the Thai off-trade brown spirits market and was the second largest brewer in Thailand with approximately 30% market share in 2013. The supportive factors to its credit quality include its established production base, nationwide distribution network, and diverse portfolio of products. ThaiBev’s production facilities in Thailand comprise 18 distilleries, three breweries, and 10 non-alcoholic beverage plants. Moreover, ThaiBev owns five Scotch whisky distilleries in Scotland and one distillery in China. The most notable brands are Hong Thong, Blend 285 for spirits; Chang beer; Oishi green tea and Japanese restaurant chain; and est carbonated drinks. The sizable production base, together with an extensive distribution network, allows ThaiBev to benefit from economies of scale and offer several products to serve more than 400,000 retail outlets nationwide. However, ThaiBev faces challenges from intense competition, especially in beer and non-alcoholic beverage segment. The rising excise taxes and strict regulation on alcoholic beverages have discouraged the consumption.
ThaiBev’s total revenue was Bt155,771 million in 2013 and Bt81,068 million for the first six months of 2014. Spirits continue to comprise the largest portion of the company’s revenue, generating 64% of ThaiBev’s total sales. Beer sales accounted for 22%, and the non-alcoholic beverages and food segments combined made up the remainder. The spirits segment was also ThaiBev’s major profit generator, contributing about 87% of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).
ThaiBev’s revenues in 2013 dropped by 3% from the previous year due to declines in sales volumes in alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, reflecting softened demand amid weaker economy and the political impasse of last year. In September 2013, hike in excise taxes negatively affected demand for alcoholic beverages. Sales volumes of spirits and beer dropped by 2% and 9% in 2013, respectively. Sermsuk PLC (Sermsuk), ThaiBev’s key bottler and distributor of soft drinks, reported a 32% decline in sales volumes and reported operating losses in 2013. The drop reflects the expiration of contract with Pepsi Co. (Pepsi) in November 2012. In addition, the launch of its own brand, est, needs time to build brand awareness and penetrate the market. Revenues for the first six months of 2014 rose by 7%
