CEO Comments

 

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company has continued to make progress in the implementation of its new strategy, focused on the sustained growth of value and profitability. In this context, we remain working on the positioning of our priority brands, which is reflected by higher average prices in Export Markets and in the domestic market of Chile.

 

Consolidated revenue decreased 4.8% in pesos and 0.5% in constant currency. This reflects a lower volume, in line with price increases, the orientation towards higher-value segments and the deliberated exit from some brands that do not perform according to the new profitability targets.

 

We highlight the performance of the Chile domestic business, where wine sales grew 9.8% in value, resulting from higher volume and average price, and a better sales mix, which has contributed to increase the profitability of this business. In Export Markets, sales in US dollar increased 1.9%. An increase of 8.0% in the average price was offset by a decline in volume and the negative impact of f/x rates.

 

In the US, as of July 2018 we have taken an important step towards strengthening our commercial position, through the integration of our sales force into Fetzer Vineyards commercial branch. With this operation, Fetzer Vineyards is becoming the 12th largest wine marketer in the United States, with an enhanced portfolio, comprising the multi-origin wine portfolio of the group. Synergies and efficiencies generated through this process will allow us to direct resources into brand building, focused on the Premium segment.

 

Fetzer Vineyards has oriented its commercial activities with focus on higher-end brands and new launches. In the quarter, sales in US dollar terms declined 4.3%, which is explained mainly by logistical issues at a large distributor, with the subsequent impact on volume.

 

In Argentina, our operation faces a complex economic environment, with currency depreciation and a lower availability of raw materials impacting volume and results. In this scenario, we remain working on price positioning and orienting our commercial efforts to our key brands.

 

Net income increased 17.3% in the quarter, recognizing a positive exchange differences result, mainly explained by the depreciation of the Argentine peso. At the operating level, the EBITDA decreased 10.3%; the efficiencies generated by our restructuring program and our efforts on cost contention were offset by a higher cost of wine and negative f/x impact.

 

2018 Vintage

 

In Chile, following two low-volume vintages in 2016 and 2017, in 2018 the harvested volume increased 35.9%. Additionally, the harvest season offered ideal climatic conditions contributing to obtain high-quality grapes. In Argentina, the 2018 harvest increased 30.0% in volume, also marking a change, after two years in a row with low harvested volume1.

4 As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15 accounting standard for revenue recognition. For the Company, in practice, this new accounting criteria affects the Income Statement in two ways: a lower revenue (impact of Ch$7,026 million or 4.2% in 2Q17 and Ch$6,265 million or 4.0% in 2Q18), and an equivalent reduction in the distribution costs line. Therefore, the Gross profit line decreases in the same magnitude as Revenue, but the profit from operating activities and net profit lines remain unchanged. For further details, see Note 2.1.6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
