AMBEV REPORTS 2013 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS UNDER IFRS

São Paulo, February 26, 2014 Ambev S.A. [BOVESPA: ABEV3; NYSE: ABEV] announces today its results for the fourth quarter and full year 2013 results. The following operating and financial information, unless otherwise indicated, is presented in nominal Reais  and prepared according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and should be read together with our quarterly financial information for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013 filed with the CVM and submitted to the SEC.  For important disclaimers, please refer to page 5.

 

Operating and Financial Highlights

Top line performance: Net revenues accelerated when compared to the first three quarters of the year and grew 10.0% in 4Q 2013, leading to a 6.4% growth in the FY 2013. Volumes declined 1.4% (-3.2% in the full year) being more than offset by a 11.6% growth in net revenue per hectoliter (NR/hl) during the quarter (+9.9% for FY 2013), mainly driven by our revenue management initiatives across our operations, greater weight of direct distribution and higher share of premium in Brazil. Albeit consolidated volumes remained in negative territory, we saw an improvement versus last quarter trends in all divisions and, thanks to a solid NR/hl performance, (Brazil Beer +11.7%, Brazil CSD & NANC +13.1%, HILA-ex +5.5%, LAS +16.2% and Canada +2.5%), this was a quarter of top line growth in all our divisions (Brazil Beer +7.9%, Brazil CSD & NANC +11.8%, HILA-ex +20.9%, LAS +16.5%, while Canada +2.1%).

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): COGS was up 6.8% in 4Q 2013 and 7.0% for the full year, whereas on a per hectoliter basis, costs increased 8.4% and 10.5%, respectively. Although currency hedges continued to be a headwind, our aluminum, barley, sugar and corn hedges once again helped to soften this pressure. The fourth quarter confirmed the improvement already seen in 3Q, with COGS/hl growing 8.5% in H2 versus 13.9% in H1.

Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses: SG&A expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) were up 10.8% in the quarter and 7.9% in FY 2013. Given our front loaded commercial investments in the year, mainly during the FIFA Confederations Cup, our 4Q 2013 performance was positively impacted by lower year over year sales and marketing expenses, while administrative expenses were impacted by timing of variable compensation accruals, partially offset by our cost savings initiatives. Distribution costs were impacted by a higher weight of direct distribution in Brazil, which reached c.70% in 4Q this year and c.67% for FY 2013.

EBITDA, Gross margin and EBITDA margin: Our Normalized EBITDA grew 18.0% in 4Q 2013, reaching R$ 6,453.7 million, which represents another improvement on the pace of year over year growth seen along the first three quarters of 2013 (1Q +2.6%, 2Q +6.8%, 3Q +9.5%), leading to a 10.5% growth in FY 2013, reaching R$ 17,485.1 million. Gross margin performance significantly improved in 4Q 2013 (ie, +90 basis points versus contraction in the first three quarters of the year), driven by expansion in Brazil Beer and all of our international divisions. Our strong finish to the year allowed us to achieve a Normalized EBITDA margin of 58.4% in the quarter (+400 bps expansion) and 50.3% for FY 2013 (+180 bps), also helped by a one-time gain of R$ 300 million in other operating income related to recovery of restricted funds in Brazil.

Operating Cash generation and Profit: Cash generated from our operations in 4Q 2013 improved 13.1% when compared to the same period last year, totalling R$ 8,386.3 million (R$ 17,377.3 million for the full year, was an increase of 10.1% when compared to 2012). Our Normalized Profit was R$ 4,766.6 million in the quarter, positively impacted by our operational performance and lower effective tax rate, reaching R$ 11,383.3 million in the full year. Normalized Earnings Per Share (EPS) corresponded to R$ 0.30 in the quarter and R$ 0.75 for FY 2013.

This press release segregates the impact of organic changes from those arising from changes in scope or currency translation. Scope changes represent the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, the start up or termination of activities or the transfer of activities between segments, curtailment gains and losses and year over year changes in accounting estimates and other assumptions that management does not consider as part of the underlying performance of the business.
Unless stated, percentage changes in this press release are both organic and normalized in nature. Whenever used in this document, the term “normalized” refers to performance measures (EBITDA, EBIT, Profit, EPS) before special items adjustments. Special items are either income or expenses which do not occur regularly as part of the normal activities of the Company. They are presented separately because they are important for the understanding of the underlying sustainable performance of the Company due to their size or nature. Normalized measures are additional measures used by management and should not replace the measures determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Company’s performance. Comparisons, unless otherwise stated, refer to the fourth quarter of 2012 (Q4 2012) or full year 2012 (FY 2012), as the case may be. Values in this release may not add up due to rounding.

CAPEX, Pay-out and Financial discipline: During the fourth quarter of 2013 we invested R$ 1.4 billion in capital expenditures, totalling R$ 3.8 billion for the year, of which R$ 2.8 billion were invested in Brazil. During the year we increased our net cash position to R$ 8,680.4 million. Such position, however, does not account for the dividends and IOC payments of approximately R$ 4 billion announced on January 6, 2014 and paid as from January 23, 2014.

 

Management Comments

 

We had prepared ourselves for a challenging environment in 2013, but the scenario we have faced since the beginning of the year proved to be tougher than we had anticipated. Particularly in Brazil, poor weather, price increases above inflation to offset higher taxes since the end of 2012 and double-digit food inflation significantly impacted industry volumes. Nothwithstanding, we managed to grow our topline and Normalized EBITDA in each of the four quarters, reaching R$ 34,791.4 million (+6.4% versus FY 2012) and R$ 17,485.1 million (+10.5% versus last year), respectively, with a record EBITDA margin of 50.3% in the full year.

Our decision to react quickly and adjust our strategy already in the first quarter was key to improve our performance along the year and to deliver solid results. Regarding our execution through 2013, it’s important to highlight:

·         Main focus in our commercial strategies in Brazil continued to deliver results.

o    Our pack price strategy was a decisive tool to improve our top line performance in a profitable way by delivering to consumers more affordable packs in light of the short term pressure brought by higher food inflation and decelerating disposable income growth. The execution of our revenue management initiatives also made good progress, with the “Verão Sem Aumento” (“summer with no price increase”) campaign reaching more than 500 thousand retailers by the end of the year.

o    Our commercial priorities continued to outperform, with (i) our premium brands reaching more than 7% of our volumes in the 4Q 2013; (ii) within our returnable bottles strategy, the 1 liter and 300ml formats continued to grow volume and share; (iii) innovation playing an important role in our strategy to increase relevance in certain consumption occasions (mainly with Brahma 0.0% and Skol Beats Extreme launches); (iv) our operations in North & Northeast gaining market share in the year and (v) our CSD portfolio outperforming the industry and reaching an all time high 18.4% market share.

·         Cost management discipline continues to pay off. While investing in our brands for the future, we once again made use of our cost management capabilities, helping us to protect the profitability of our business. Continuously looking for gaps and benchmarking across our operations, we were able to expand our margins along the year.

·         Our People make the difference. Our People are our main fortress and were decisive to quickly adapt and execute our strategy in a year that presented some important and greater than expected challenges. Our People’s permanent pursuit of better results and the commitment to great goals once again made the difference.

Looking at our divisional performance: 

·         Brazil. Our Brazilian operations delivered an EBITDA of R$ 4,567.6 million in the 4Q 2013 (+18.9%), totalling R$ 12,082.7 million in the full year (+10.1%), while EBITDA margin expanded 250 bps, reaching 54.8% for FY 2013.

o    Brazil Beer net revenue grew 7.9% in the quarter, with a volume decline of 3.4% more than offset by a NR/hl growth of 11.7%. 

§  Our volume performance was mainly driven by the softness in the Brazilian beer industry, which declined 2.8% in the fourth quarter (-3.5% for the year), as well as due to  our market share performance, which closed the quarter at 67.5% (67.9% for the full year).

§  Net revenue per hectoliter increased a solid 11.7% in 4Q 2013, +9.3% in the year, benefiting from our revenue management initiatives, increased weight of direct distribution as well as greater weight of premium volumes.

§  Our commercial strategies were once again decisive:

·         2013 was another year of growth for our premium brands, that reached c.7% of our volumes, with Original, Budweiser and Stella Artois brands growing double digit along the year,

·         The 1 liter and 300ml returnable glass bottles continued to increase their weight in our mix,

·         Innovation was led by Brahma 0.0% and Skol Beats Extreme, both growing at double digit rates and gaining share from other (non beer) liquids, and

·         While also impacted by negative volumes in the industry, we continued to gain share in our North and Northeast operations.

o    Our CSD & NANC operations in Brazil had another quarter of outperformance versus the industry. Our CSD market share reached 19.0% in the fourth quarter (+ 90bps yoy) and 18.4% in the year (+30bps), an all time high, driven by our marketing initiatives and innovations, mainly the 1 liter returnable glass bottle and our trade promotions. Net revenue grew 11.8% in the quarter, with a volume decline of 1.1% being more than offset by a strong 13.1% growth in NR/hl.

o    On the costs side, Brazil COGS/hl grew 11.8% in 4Q 2013 (Brazil Beer: +10.8%; Brazil CSD&NANC: +16.1%), an increase of 12.0% for the full year. Brazil Beer and CSD & NANC COGS were mainly impacted by a negative effect from our currency hedges. On the other hand, commodities hedges continued to be a tailwind.

o    SG&A (excluding depreciation and amortization) was 9.4% higher than in the fourth quarter of 2012 (+8.2% in FY 2013). Our sales and marketing expenses declined again in the fourth quarter, given the front loaded investments related to the FIFA Confederations World Cup concentrated in the second quarter. Our administrative costs finished the year growing 5.2% in the full year, below average inflation, benefiting from our cost saving initiatives. As we continued to capture direct distribution opportunities in Brazil, our distribution costs grew double digit while direct distribution weight reached c.70% in 4Q 2013 (c.67% FY2013), compared to c.65% in the last quarter of 2012.

·         HILA-ex.  EBITDA for the region totalled R$ 178.5 million in the quarter (+32.4%), with gross margin expanding 50 bps, and EBITDA margin growing 330 bps to 37.7%. In FY 2013, we delivered R$ 462.1 million of EBITDA, which represents +36.9% compared to last year, and an EBITDA margin of 32.1% (+490 bps).

o    4Q 2013 was another quarter of strong performance in the region. We continue to capture synergies from the Domican Republic operations as well as top line growth in Guatemala. NR increased 20.9% in the quarter driven by volume growth (+14.5%) and net revenues per hectoliter growth of 5.5%. Our plan for the region remains on track and we continue to look for top line opportunities as well as margin expansion.

 

·         LAS. EBITDA for the region totalled R$ 1,234.1 million in 4Q 2013 (+20.3%). Our gross margin expanded 450 bps and EBITDA margin grew 170 bps to 52.7%.

o    Volume performance in LAS continued to improve sequentially and expanded (+0.3%), after declining in the first three of 2013 (1Q -10.2%, 2Q -0.8%, 3Q -0.2%). Net revenue per hectoliter was up 16.2% (+16.2% for LAS Beer; +15.9% for LAS CSD & NANC) resulting in a strong top line growth of 16.5%. Despite the still challenging environment in Argentina, local beer industry grew during the quarter and we managed to increase our stake, reaching an all time high market share in December, while maintaining a healthy brand preference. Innovation continued to contribute to volume growth driven by Quilmes Night and Stella Artois Noire.

·         Canada. EBITDA grew 0.8% in the quarter, reaching R$ 473.5 million. Gross margin expanded 10 bps, but EBITDA margin contracted 50 bps to 44.0%.

o    We experienced volume decline of 0.4% in the quarter with an estimated market share of 40.0% in 4Q 2013. NR/hl increased 2.5% during the same period, as a result of our revenue management strategies and commitment to premiumization through innovation, clearly evident in Budweiser Crown, Bud Light Platinum, and the Alexander Keith’s Hop Series. Our focus brand performance, with Budweiser growing share in 4Q 2013 and strong performance from Bud Light, helped us to maintain our leading position in the Canadian market.

2014 Outlook

As we leave a challenging year of negative industry volumes across our key markets, we believe on an improved scenario in 2014, particularly in Brazil, and continue to believe that our commercial strategies, disciplined execution and commited team will once again be decisive to our goal of delivering superior performance this year.

In Brazil, we see our main headwinds of last year dissipating: food inflation decelerating since 2Q 2013, the postponement of the federal tax increase in October 2013 supporting no real price increases by the industry and, given the poor weather faced in 2013, any return to normality should be a powerful tailwind. On top of that, the FIFA 2014 World Cup to be hosted in Brazil is expected to positively impact industry volumes, mainly during the 2Q 2014. As a result, we are confident the Brazilian beer industry will resume growth in 2014.

Regarding the FIFA 2014 World Cup, we have been preparing ourselves for a long time for this moment and we are ready to make the most out of it. Along with the 64 matches in the 12 host cities, we will have the chance to enhance the superior execution delivered in the 2013 FIFA Confederation Cup and make it even bigger and better. And we see the FIFA 2014 World Cup as a unique opportunity to leverage the equity of our brands, paving the way for next years growth as well.

Within our commercial priorities, (i) premium volumes and share are expected to continue to increase ; (ii) innovation will once again be our main tool to seek to overperform across different consumption occasions and to leverage our portfolio; (iii) North and Northeast operations will remain a priority; (iv) returnable glass bottles will also remain high in our agenda, specially with regards to 1 liter and 300ml bottles further expansion, and (v) CSD & NANC should continue to outpace industry growth with successful initiatives being expanded, such as the new Pepsi 1 liter returnable bottle.

In 2014, we will focus on continuing to manage the optimal balance between price/mix and volume in order to keep growing our top line in a profitable way. We expect net revenue in Brazil to grow high single to low double-digits in the full year, positively impacted by our revenue management initiatives, increased weight of direct distribution and the benefit of premium mix, as well as industry volume resuming growth.

On the cost side, COGS per hectoliter in Brazil should grow mid single-digit for the year, on a constant product mix, mainly impacted by the devaluation of the Brazilian Real during 2013 (our average implied foreign exchange hedge rate for 2014 is 2.19 BRL/USD, which compares to 1.93 BRL/USD in 2013), being partially offset by a positive effect from our commodities hedges.

Being an intrinsic part of our culture, we will keep looking for cost management opportunities, mainly in our fixed and “non-working money” base, while continuously investing in our brands and supporting our commercial actions. We expect our administrative expenses to grow below inflation while our sales and marketing expenses should grow double-digits, in connection with our investments related to the FIFA 2014 World Cup. Our distribution costs should also grow double-digits, as we continue to increase the weight of direct distribution including the carry over impact from last year and volumes resume growth. As a result, we expect SG&A expenses in Brazil to grow high single to low double-digits in 2014.

Regarding our international operations, (i) we continue to see great opportunites for organic and non-organic growth in our HILA-ex division, (ii) we are particularly excited with our Canadian operations for 2014 given the fact that as of March this year we will take over Corona distribution in the country and (iii) in LAS, despite challenging macro-economic conditions, we remain committed not only to our long-term goals in the Region but also confident on our ability to continuously deliver solid and profitable growth across our operations.

Finally, as we continue to pursue organic growth opportunities, we estimate capex in Brazil to be around the same levels we had in 2013.

Ambev Brasil

 

We delivered R$ 4,567.6 million (+18.9%) of Normalized EBITDA in Brazil, with an EBITDA margin expansion of 560 bps to 63.8%.  For the full year, EBITDA grew 10.1%, with an EBITDA margin of 54.8%, which represents an expansion of 250 bps.

Net revenue grew 8.5% in the quarter, with negative volumes of 2.8% being more than offset by a solid NR/hl growth of 11.6%. During the year, our net revenue increased 5.1%, with volumes down 3.7% and NR/hl growing 9.1%, in line with our guidance of high single-digit growth.

COGS/hl increased 11.8% in the 4Q 2013, leading to a 12.0% growth in FY 2013, consistent with our estimate of high single to low double-digit growth. SG&A expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) were 9.4% higher in quarter, growing 8.2% during the FY 2013, above our expectation of cash SG&A growing below inflation due to higher than anticipated increase in the weight of direct distribution.

Beer Brazil

 

In the 4Q 2013, EBITDA for Beer Brazil was R$ 3,861.1 million (+17.3%) with an EBITDA margin of 64.2% (+510 bps), while for the full year EBITDA increased 9.8% and EBITDA margin reached 55.6% (+270 bps).

Beer Brazil net revenue grew 7.9% in the quarter, with a volume decline of 3.4% more than offset by a NR/hl growth of 11.7%. During FY 2013, our net revenue increased 4.6%, with volumes down 4.3% and NR/hl up 9.3%. Our volume performance was mainly driven by the softness in the Brazilian beer industry, which declined 2.8% in the fourth quarter (-3.5% for the year), as well as due to  our market share performance, which closed the quarter at 67.5% (67.9% for the full year). The solid NR/hl performance benefited from our revenue management strategy, increased weight of direct distribution as well as greater weight of premium volumes.

COGS/hl increased 10.8% in the quarter and 11.3% in the year, impacted by headwinds from currency hedges and higher industrial depreciation partially offset by lower commodity prices. SG&A (excluding depreciation and amortization) expenses were 7.1% higher than 4Q 2012 (+7.7% in FY 2013), driven mainly by increased weight of our direct distribution and variable compensation accruals in the last quarter, partially offset by lower commercial expenses and successful implementation of our “non-working money” savings initiatives.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Results

February 26, 2014

Page 12 

 

 

CSD & NANC Brazil

 

In Brazil CSD & NANC, EBITDA  was R$ 706.5 million (+28.2%) in the quarter, with an expansion of 780 bps in EBITDA margin to 61.4%.  During FY 2013, CSD & NANC Brazil EBITDA was up 11.5%, reaching an EBITDA margin of 51.0% (+180 bps expansion).

Top line growth improved in the last quarter (net revenue +11.8% 4Q 2013, +7.5% FY 2013), as volumes declined 1.1% (-2.0% FY 2013) while our NR/hl increased a solid 13.1% (+9.7% FY 2013). This was another quarter of outperformance of our CSD compared to the industry as our market share grew 90bps reaching 19.0% in the quarter and a full year all time high of 18.4% in FY2013. This performance was mainly driven by our marketing initiatives, targeted promotions and successful innovations, such as the 1 liter returnable bottle for Guaraná Antarctica, now being also launched for Pepsi.

COGS/hl increased 16.1% in the quarter and 14.6% in the year as currency hedges continued to negatively impact our costs, partially offset by commodities hedges. As for SG&A (excluding depreciation & amortization) expenses, increased weight of direct distribution and variable compensation accruals explain most of the year over year growth in the quarter (+30.5%, +11.4% FY 2013).

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Results

February 26, 2014

Page 14 

 

 

 

Latin America South (LAS)

 

As from January 1, 2013 our LAS region includes the operations for Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Peru and Ecuador. 

LAS EBITDA grew 20.3% during 4Q 2013, reaching R$ 1,234.1 million, with an EBITDA margin of 52.7% (+170 bps). For the full year, our EBITDA increased 16.9% to R$ 3,150.4 million, and margin expanded 110 bps up to 44.7%.

During 4Q 2013, we continued to improve our top line (NR +16.5%). Volumes grew 0.3% after declining in the last three quarters, with innovation playing an important role both in Beer and CSD. Meanwhile, our NR/hl strategy in the region continued to deliver strong results, growing 16.2% (LAS Beer: +16.2%; LAS CSD & NANC: +15.9%).

During the quarter, COGS/hl grew 1.5% (1Q +13.4%, 2Q +15.0%, 3Q 13.5%) impacted by labor-related costs partially offset by commodities tailwind. Meanwhile, SG&A (excluding depreciation and amortization) expenses increased 23.4% mainly as a result of higher distribution expenses (freight and labor) in Argentina.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Results

February 26, 2014

Page 15 

 

 

LAS Beer

 

Our LAS Beer division delivered an EBITDA of R$ 1,045.5 million (+13.4%) for the quarter, with EBITDA margin contracting 180 bps to 59.4%. In FY 2013, EBITDA reached R$ 2,777.3 million (+14.6%) and EBITDA margin contracted to 53.9% (-30 bps).

Beer volumes were up by 0.4% in the quarter (-2.8% in FY 2013). Despite the continued tough macro-economic environment in Argentina, beer industry expanded in 4Q 2013 and we also managed to achieve solid market share as a result of strong performance from Stella Artois and Brahma.

We also continued to successfully execute our revenue management strategy in the region, leading to a 16.2% improvement in our net revenue per hectoliter result.

COGS/Hl grew 5.7% in the quarter due mostly to higher packaging and labor-related costs, while SG&A (excluding depreciation and amortization) expenses increased 28.4%, given higher labor costs and freight expenses in Argentina.

LAS CSD & NANC

 

EBITDA for LAS CSD & NANC reached R$ 188.6 million in 4Q 2013 (+76.3%) and EBITDA margin expanded 1100 bps.  In FY 2013, the division delivered an EBITDA of R$ 373.1 million (+35.8%) with EBITDA margin gaining 360 bps.

Despite the competitive environment in the CSD industry in Argentina, LAS CSD & NANC volumes remained stable during the quarter whilst we managed to increase top line (NR +16.0%). On the brands side, H2Oh! new flavors in Argentina continued to show strong performance.

COGS/hl decreased by 4.1% in the quarter mainly as a result of commodities tailwind, partially offset by higher labor costs. SG&A (excluding depreciation and amortization) growth of 13.5% is primarily explained by the impact of general inflation on labor costs, increasing our distribution and administrative expenses.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Results

February 26, 2014

Page 17 

 

Canada

 

In Canada, we delivered R$ 473.5 million (+0.8%) of EBITDA for the quarter, and EBITDA margin contracted 50 bps to 44.0%.  For the full year, EBITDA reached R$ 1,789.9 million (-1.2%) and EBITDA margin was 42.0% (-30 bps). 

After experiencing five quarters of contraction, the Canadian beer industry made some headway in 4Q 2013, returning to slight expansion with the cycling of easier comps from 4Q12 as a result of the hockey lockout last year. Market share is estimated to have declined sequentially by 20 bps driven by a decline of our non-focus brands. On the other hand, our light portfolio continues to deliver strong results driven by Bud Light, Bud Light Platinum, and Michelob Ultra, helping us to partially offset this decline and extend our leading position in the Canadian market. NR/hl growth accelerated in 4Q13 to +2.5% through consistent focus on the premium segment.   

COGS/hl increased 2.0% in the quarter due to higher depreciation expenses partially offset by lower commodity costs and operational efficiencies. SG&A (excluding depreciation and amortization) expenses were impacted by phasing of pension and benefit expenses, increasing by 4.3% in the quarter.

Reconciliation between normalized EBITIDA & profit

Both Normalized EBITDA and EBIT are measures used by Ambev’s management to measure the Company’s performance. 

Normalized EBITDA is calculated excluding from Profit the following effects: (i) Non-controlling interest, (ii) Income Tax expense, (iii) Share of results of associates, (iv) Net finance results, (v) Special items, and (vi) Depreciation & Amortization.  

Normalized EBITDA and EBIT are not accounting measures under accounting practices in Brazil, IFRS or the United States of America (US GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to Profit as a measure of operational performance or an alternative to Cash Flow as a measure of liquidity.  Normalized EBITDA and EBIT do not have a standard calculation method and Ambev’s definition of Normalized EBITDA and EBIT may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Revised IAS 19 and 2012 Reference Base

    

The revised IFRS standard “IAS 19 Employee Benefits” was effective from January 1, 2013.  Therefore, we are presenting the net pension interest cost as part of the net finance costs and have provided the restated figures per division for 2012, as if the revised standard had been effective as from January 1, 2012.

In addition, the 2012 Reference Base also reflects the transfer of management responsibility for Ecuador and Peru to the Latin America South division, as previously mentioned.
