Merger relief reserve

At 1 April 2016 the merger relief reserve comprised US$3,395 million in respect of the excess of value attributed to the shares issued as consideration for Miller Brewing Company over the nominal value of those shares and US$233 million (2015: US$568 million) relating to the merger relief arising on the issue of SABMiller plc ordinary shares for the buyout of non-controlling interests in the group’s Polish business. In the period ended 30 September 2016 the group transferred US$233 million (2015: US$335 million) of the reserve relating to the Polish business to retained earnings upon realisation of qualifying consideration.

Retained earnings

The credit of US$1,158 million recognised in retained earnings represents the fair value adjustment to the 46% non-controlling interests in the group’s businesses contributed to Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (Pty) Ltd (CCBA) as part of the CCBA transaction (see note 12).

SABMiller Limited (formerly SABMiller plc)      7  
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION   

 

 

 

1. Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial information (the ‘financial information’) comprises the unaudited results of SABMiller Limited (formerly SABMiller plc) (SABMiller) for the six months ended 30 September 2016 and 30 September 2015. The financial information in this report is not audited and does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of s434 of the Companies Act 2006. The board of directors authorised this financial information for issue on 10 February 2017.

The unaudited financial information in this interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB). The financial information should be read in conjunction with the SABMiller annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB and IFRS Interpretations Committee interpretations (together, IFRS).

Items included in the financial information of each of the group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial information is presented in US dollars which is the group’s presentational currency.

Following the balance sheet date SABMiller was acquired by Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV on 8 October 2016 (the transaction). The change of control occurred after the balance sheet date, therefore the financial information has been prepared on a basis consistent with prior periods and does not take account of any impact of change of control, including the divestments that occurred following the completion of the transaction which are detailed in note 15, other than transaction-related costs committed at the balance sheet date, including the acceleration of share-based compensation, which have been recorded in the financial information, as completion of the transaction was considered more likely than not at the balance sheet date.

Significant transaction

On 2 July 2016 the group contributed its South African soft drinks and African bottled water businesses to CCBA in exchange for an effective 54% interest in CCBA. Simultaneously The Coca-Cola Company and Gutsche Family Investments contributed their African non-alcoholic bottling businesses to CCBA. As part of the CCBA transaction, the group sold certain of its African soft drinks brands to The Coca-Cola Company.

Accounting policies

The financial information is prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation to fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities, and post-retirement assets and liabilities. Having reassessed the principal risks, the directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the interim financial information. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the SABMiller annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 as described in those financial statements, except for the following interpretations and amendments adopted by the group as of 1 April 2016 and which have had no material impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position of the group:

 

Amendment to IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’ on the disclosure initiative;

 

Amendments to IFRS 10, ‘Consolidated financial statements’, IFRS 12, ‘Disclosure of interests in other entities’, and IAS 28, ‘Investments in associates and joint ventures’, on investment entities applying the consolidation exemption;

 

Amendment to IFRS 11, ‘Joint arrangements’, on acquisition of an interest in a joint operation;

 

Amendments to IAS 16, ‘Property, plant and equipment’, and IAS 38, ‘Intangible assets’, on depreciation and amortisation;

 

Amendments to IAS 16, ‘Property, plant and equipment’, and IAS 41, ‘Agriculture’, regarding bearer plants;

 

Amendment to IAS 27, ‘Separate financial statements’; and

 

Annual improvements to IFRS 2014.

2. Segmental information

Operating segments reflect the management structure of the group and the way performance is evaluated and resources allocated based on group net producer revenue (group NPR) and EBITA by the group’s chief operating decision maker, defined as the executive directors. The group is focused geographically and, while not meeting the definition of a reportable segment, the group reports Corporate as a separate segment as this provides useful additional information.

The segmental information presented below includes the reconciliation of GAAP measures presented on the face of the income statement to non-GAAP measures which are used by management to analyse the group’s performance.

Due to the spread of the business between Northern and Southern hemispheres, the results for the group as a whole are not highly seasonal in nature.

Profit on sale of intangible assets

In 2016 a profit of US$133 million was realised on the disposal of certain African soft drinks brands to The Coca-Cola Company for cash consideration as part of the CCBA transaction.

3. Exceptional items (continued)

Fair value adjustment on the remeasurement of existing interest in associate on acquisition

In 2016 as part of the CCBA transaction the group obtained control of Coca-Cola Canners of Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd, previously an associate, resulting in a US$84 million fair value adjustment arising on the remeasurement to fair value of the group’s existing interest.

Cost and efficiency programme costs

In 2016 costs of US$5 million (2015: US$14 million) were incurred in relation to the cost and efficiency programme.

Integration and restructuring credit

In 2015 a credit of US$29 million was realised relating to integration and restructuring in Australia, following the successful resolution of certain claims leading to the release of provisions.

Share of associates’ and joint ventures’ exceptional items

Restructuring costs

In 2016 MillerCoors incurred restructuring costs relating to the closure of the Eden brewery, including accelerated depreciation and employee-related costs, of which the group’s share amounted to US$38 million (2015: US$23 million).

Net taxation credits relating to subsidiaries’ and the group’s share of associates’ and joint ventures’ exceptional items

Net taxation credits of US$32 million (2015: US$1 million) arose in relation to exceptional items during the period, and include US$15 million (2015: US$9 million) in relation to MillerCoors although the tax credit is recognised within Miller Brewing Company (see note 4).

The effective tax rate is calculated by expressing tax before tax on exceptional items and on amortisation of intangible assets (excluding computer software), including the group’s share of associates’ and joint ventures’ tax on a similar basis, as a percentage of adjusted profit before tax. This calculation is on a basis consistent with that used in prior periods and is also consistent with other group operating metrics. Tax on amortisation of intangible assets (excluding computer software) was US$50 million (2015: US$51 million).

MillerCoors is not a taxable entity. The tax balances and obligations therefore remain with Miller Brewing Company as a 100% subsidiary of the group. This subsidiary’s tax charge includes tax (including deferred tax) on the group’s share of the taxable profits of MillerCoors and includes tax in other comprehensive income on the group’s share of MillerCoors’ taxable items included within other comprehensive income.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes no (2015: 11,283,531) share options that were non-dilutive for the period because the exercise price together with the future IFRS 2 charge of the options exceeded the fair value of the shares during the period, and 18,353,134 (2015: 20,768,434) share awards that were non-dilutive for the period because the performance conditions attached to the share awards had not been met. These share incentives could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future.

Since 30 September 2016 all outstanding share options and awards have vested and been exercised or lapsed, resulting in the release or exercise of 19,429,205 shares. Consequently, there are 1,633 million shares in issue.

Adjusted and headline earnings

The group presents an adjusted earnings per share figure which excludes the impact of amortisation of intangible assets (excluding computer software), certain non-recurring items and post-tax exceptional items in order to present an additional measure of performance for the periods shown in the consolidated interim financial information. Adjusted earnings per share have been based on adjusted earnings for each financial period and on the same number of weighted average shares in issue as the basic earnings per share calculation. Headline earnings per share has been calculated in accordance with the South African Circular 2/2015 entitled ’Headline Earnings’ which forms part of the listing requirements for the JSE Ltd (JSE). The adjustments made to arrive at headline earnings and adjusted earnings are as follows.

10. Financial risk factors

In the normal course of business, the group is exposed to the following financial risks:

— Market risk

— Credit risk

— Liquidity risk

A full description of the group’s exposure to the above risks and the group’s policies and processes, that were in place for the six months ended 30 September 2016 and up to the date of the transaction, to manage these risks are included in note 21 to the SABMiller annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016. The group’s exposures to these risks and its policies and processes to manage them may change in the future as they are aligned with those of the Anheuser-Busch InBev group.

The levels of the fair value hierarchy and its application to the group’s assets and liabilities are described in full in note 21 to the SABMiller annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016. The methods and techniques employed in determining fair values are consistent with those used at 31 March 2016 and are summarised below. There were no transfers between levels in the six months ended 30 September 2016.

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over the counter derivatives or infrequently traded listed investments) are determined by using valuation techniques.

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of borrowings at 30 September 2016 was US$12,444 million (31 March 2016: US$12,067 million). The fair values were based on a combination of market quoted prices and cash flows discounted using prevailing interest rates. The fair values of all other financial assets and liabilities were equivalent to their carrying values.

11c. Analysis of net debt (continued)

As at the date of approval of the financial information the group has sufficient headroom to enable it to comply with all covenants on its existing borrowings. The group had the following undrawn committed borrowing facilities available in respect of which all conditions precedent had been met at that date.

These facilities were cancelled effective 1 December 2016 subsequent to the acquisition of the group by Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV. The group has sufficient loan receivables from Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV group entities which are readily convertible to cash on short notice to service its operating activities and continuing capital investment for the foreseeable future and thus the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.

12. Business combinations

Acquisition

On 2 July 2016 the group contributed its South African soft drinks and African bottled water businesses to CCBA in exchange for an effective 54% interest in CCBA. Simultaneously The Coca-Cola Company and Gutsche Family Investments contributed their African non-alcoholic bottling businesses to CCBA.

As the consideration was non-cash this has been recorded in equity as shown in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

Goodwill represents, amongst other things, potential synergies and the value of the assembled workforce.
