Blame it on Mother
Event
We consider the positive impact of Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) weather
forecasts and the negative impact of the continuing colonisation of shelf
space by Energy drinks. The latter appears more crucial for CCLs earnings
outlook.

Implication
Adverse earnings impact could be much stronger than sales impact. The
higher-margin convenience/single-serve products are a greater risk for CCL
from the expanding market share of Energy drinks. This suggests a
disproportionate impact on earnings compared with sales possibly well
beyond our expectations.
Pricing in perfect weather? The recent share price spike coinciding with the
heat wave overcapitalises a short-term weather event and presents a good
opportunity to sell the stock.

Investment view
Heightened risk to earnings demands multiple reduction. CCLs earnings
have become more sensitive due to its exposure to higher-margin formats,
which are now threatened by Energy drinks. Consequently, CCLs 12%
premium to market is unsustainable at current levels. We downgrade our
recommendation to Underweight.

Weather has been and should remain a net positive for carbonated soft drinks
Even before the current heat wave, temperatures have been moving up in Australia. BOM data
shows the averages for the quarter to December in Australia are running a couple of a percent
above average. BOM anticipates above-average temperatures to prevail over the March quarter,
particularly along the eastern seaboard.
Rainfall experienced over the December quarter has been below average on the eastern seaboard
and above average in the less populated west. BOM expects this regional skew to continue over
the March quarter, with the eastern seaboard to continue to experience above-average
temperatures.

In volume terms over 2012, the supermarket channel accounted for approximately 2.14b litres of
beverage sales, whereas the convenience channel accounted for relatively modest 126m litres.
This implies average revenue per litre of $1.69 through the supermarket channel, compared to
$5.23 per litre through the convenience channel.
Clearly, the convenience market is capable of achieving a vastly higher average selling price
(ASP) than the take-home product (which represents the majority of sales through
supermarkets). This is an important fact, which CCL has taken full advantage of in recent years
to expand margins through a chilled single-serve/convenience offer with the supermarket
channel. This previous success also creates a risk to CCL as the Energy category colonises
the high-value and high-margin channels to market.
The Energy market has been high growth for a number of years and, based on global trends and
local market feedback, will continue to take share over the medium term. Energy represents a
relatively modest 8.5% of value within the supermarket channel, equating to $306m in annual
sales.

It should come as no surprise that our channel checks suggest CSDs are continuing to lose shelf
and fridge space in supermarkets and convenience channels to Energy drinks. This is consistent
with recent trends in industry data (as shown in Figure 10) and global beverage trends.

As CCL and the supermarkets developed the chilled, single-serve category, it enabled a
significantly positive mix shift towards vastly higher ASP formats. In 2012, a litre of take-home
beverage achieved an ASP of $1.50, compared to a single-serve price per litre of $4.28.
Single-serve supermarket channel now at risk to Energy
Energy drink sales within the convenience channel represent 35.4% of beverages and are now
exceeding the CSD by value.
Despite the reduction in Energys penetration rate of single-serve in 2012, we are confident from
industry feedback and global trends that the increase in penetration will continue.
We estimate energy drinks represent 22.3% of single-serve supermarket channel. We expect this
to increase to 39.3% by 2020, given the higher ASP and gross profit dollars (GPD) are strong
incentives for supermarket retailers to allocate greater space to Energy (at the expense of CSD),
particularly in the highly profitable refrigerated shelf space previously dominated by CCLs brands.
In its most recent conference call, management at Monster Beverage Corporation (MNST.US)
indicated that Energy now has more than 26% of the convenience beverage channel in the US.
This is clearly a global trend towards Energy drinks.
CCLs massive market share in Australia (57.7% of CSD, 80.8% of cola in supermarkets, and
46% and 91.5% respectively in convenience) makes CCLs earnings more susceptible to the
growth of Energy drinks.

On a per-case basis, in 2011, MNST generated $9.85 per case in wholesale revenues and $2.64 in
EBIT. This infers a total cost (COGS and CODB) of $7.21 per case.
In contrast, in 2011, CCLs Australian division generated $8.52 in revenue per case and $1.79
EBIT. Cost per case for CCL Australia was $6.73. While inputs, scale and distribution models
differ between the CCL and MNST, the key reason for the greater EBIT at MNST is higher gross
margin.
We are confident the stronger margins at MNST are a more extreme demonstration of the relative
profitability between convenience/single-serve and take-home formats. While our data cannot
confirm margins at retail level, industry feedback suggests the margin % available on Energy
drinks are also larger for retailers.

We can infer from this analysis that CCLs convenience and single-serve sales provide higher
margins than take-home, and have enabled CCL to expand margins from mix changes as the
sales of the convenience formats have taken market share. However,
Energy is a more profitable and increasingly popular alternative replacement to CSDs that is
expected to continue to take share from incumbent products, putting the most profitable
channels to market at risk for CCL.
We forecast that Energy drinks will represent 14.5% of supermarket beverage sales by 2020, from
6.7% in 2010.

Earnings impact
CCL remains a resilient business with dominant market share, pricing power, product innovation
and a staple product offering. As such, we continue to believe the company will have predictable
earnings characteristics over the foreseeable future.
However, the key issue for earnings is that the companys core CSD offering is struggling to
maintain share and CCLs ability to respond in the Energy market is limited. The impact to
earnings is exacerbated by the groups sensitivity to the highly profitable singleserve/convenience market.
Mother, CCLs energy product, is the number three player in the Energy market, but declining
against the stronger market share positions of the two distinct leaders (V and Red Bull) and
aggressive new market entrants (Monster and Rockstar).
We have reduced our forecast sales and earnings expectations from the Australian division to
reflect our view that CCL will underperform the market over the medium term. This translates into
Australian sales growth in the order of 2-4% pa and EBIT growth marginally less than this as mix
shift exacerbates the impact.

The ability to forecast the impact of the shift to Energy on CCL is difficult; however, the heavy
reliance on the high-profit single-serve format will have a disproportionate impact on earnings if
market share continues to be lost to Energy.
Relative PE
Against this earnings growth outlook, we believe CCLs current market premium of 12% (ASX200
Industrials ex Financials) is unlikely to be sustained in the medium term as the outlook for earnings
comes into focus from the market. Over the past five years, CCL has traded at an average PE
premium of 14% to the market. We now believe a 5%-10% premium to market is now warranted
for CCL. This would imply a fair value for CCL of $12.00-$12.50ps.
DCF/Sum-of-the-parts
Based on a combined DCF and sum-of-the-parts method, we value CCL at $12.50ps, and
forecast a 12-month price target of $13.20ps.
