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

Forecasts and ratios

Weather improving, but has failed to shine on CCL. BOM is no longer

Year end Dec

forecasting an El Nio to develop this year, however the weather has


normalised against the damp and cold summer of 2011/12. This should be a
positive driver of high-margin convenience products and chilled single-serve
beverages. CCLs 12 December 2012 downgrade suggests other structural
factors are at play.

Carbonated drinks losing share across channels to Energy. Our channel


checks suggest that carbonated soft drinks are continuing to lose fridge
space in supermarkets and convenience channels. The shelf space is being
lost predominantly to Energy drinks (a category which CCL is relatively
weaker in), putting CCLs high-margin single-serve/convenience sales at risk.

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 impact a short-term positive, being diluted


El Nio off the cards, but weather has improved
The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) recently updated its fortnightly El Nio-Southern Oscillation
wrap-up. BOM no longer forecasts that an El Nio will develop this year.
BOMs outlook confidence is related to how consistently the Pacific and Indian oceans affect
rainfall. After hovering around El Nio thresholds during winter, tropical Pacific temperatures have
retreated to neutral levels over the past few months. Climate models surveyed by BOM suggest
sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean are likely to stay at neutral levels during
early 2013.
This means that in contrast to the two prior summers, Australian rainfall and temperatures are
unlikely to be strongly influenced by ENSO. Given current conditions and outlooks, this will be the
first ENSO-neutral summer since 200506.
As has been seen recently, the wet and cold conditions of the prior two summers have not been
repeated in 2012.

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.

Coke Amatil running out of Energy?


We have performed a top-down analysis of the beverage industry where we have analysed trends
for the major beverage categories. Our key conclusions are:
1. The Energy drinks category continues to outperform the wider beverage sector.
2. In recent years, Energy has increasingly penetrated the convenience sector. We expect this
trend to continue. We also expect the single-serve supermarket channel (which CCL has
developed successfully) to become increasingly penetrated by Energy.
3. The single-serve supermarket channel and the convenience channel are both highly important
to CCL, given they generate significantly higher margins relative to the in-home supermarket
channel.

Background on the beverage and energy drink market


The Australian beverage market is served through the supermarket and convenience retail
channels and the hospitality service channel. Our analysis looks primarily at the retail channels,
which represent at least 70% of the total non-alcoholic beverage market, by value.
In 2012, Australian non-alcoholic beverage sales through supermarkets were estimated at $3.62b
and $660m though the convenience channel. The value of sales picked up in 2012, mostly due to
price and mix growth, rather than volume growth.

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.

Energy continues to outperform the wider beverage sector


For a number of years, Energy drinks have been the darling of the soft drink category with strong
unit growth over consecutive years. While this is reason enough for retailers to allocate shelf
space to Energy drinks, the story becomes more compelling when we consider the impact of
ASPs.
Energy drinks have a much higher ASP compared to other CSD products, even on a chilled,
single-serve basis. Unit growth, high ASP and higher sales productivity provide three huge
incentives for the supermarket and convenience channels to allocate more and more space to
Energy drinks, and we believe this is becoming significant enough to detract from CCLs sales
and earnings growth ambitions.

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.

CCL is adversely affected by structural change towards energy


Shelf space is being lost to categories which CCL is relatively weaker in such as energy drinks,
mineral water, iced tea and still water. This loss of space is more significant to CCLs earnings
than the category numbers suggest, once the impact on higher-margin single-serve market is
taken into account.

CCL is the number #3 player in Energy, but it is losing share


The leader in the energy drink segment is Frucor (owned by Japans Suntory) which produces V,
closely followed by Red Bull. CCL is the third player through Mother and Powerade Fuel+.
However, over the last two years, CCL conceded market share to Frucor and Schweppes, the

The big prize: The single-serve supermarket channel


Single-serve drinks have significantly higher price points than take-home packs, on a per-litre
basis. The higher price point is partly driven by the cost of making a single-serve product and
partly due to being refrigerated and conveniently located close to the cashier, which provides a
differentiated product available for immediate consumption, similar to that found in the
convenience channel. The higher price points generate materially higher gross profit dollars
compared to take-home packs.
Supermarket single-serve market as large as convenience channel
The materially higher gross profit dollars in the single-serve market has enabled CCL to effectively
expand the size of the single-serve market and materially enhanced ASP and margins for CCL

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.

Energy a more lucrative option than CSD


MNST is a publicly-listed beverage corporation specialising in Energy drinks. We have compared
the operating metrics between MNST and CCL to determine the difference in metrics at the
product level and group P&L.

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.

Global Markets Research

Equities: Coca-Cola Amatil Limited

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.

There are two implications from this analysis:

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.

Risks that energy drinks might be banned by health authorities


While energy drinks have received their fair share of negative publicity relating to adverse health
impacts, any product bans appear unlikely at this stage. FDA incident reports in the US into
several deaths that may have occurred following the consumption of energy drinks could not
prove that the energy drinks caused the deaths.
100mL of a generic energy drink contains approximately 32 milligrams of caffeine. This compares
to an espresso coffee (60mL) at ~85mg and filter coffee (240mL) at ~150mg.
New Scientist claims that a lethal dose of caffeine is about 5 grams for adults. Therefore, one
would need to drink over 15 litres of energy drink to get to the lethal dose level. Other ingredients
such as taurine and guarana have not yet been properly studied.

CCL earnings growth at greater risk than sales


CCL dominates the CSD market in Australia. Figures 21 and 22 below demonstrate the split of
supermarket beverage sales by category and the same split for CCL in Australia.
While the companys domination of the CSD category demonstrates a strength, it also poses a
risk over the long term if Energy continues to take market share. Beyond the pure profit motive for
Energy drink manufacturers and retailers, the longer-term trends also appear to be well supported
by the significant skew of Energy drink consumption amongst younger generations.

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.

Valuation and recommendation


The slower growth environment from the core Australian division makes it that much harder for
CCL to return to its historical Group EBIT growth rate of 9-10% (three-year EBIT CAGR to FY10)
experienced prior to the La Nina weather event of 2011.
Despite improving outlook for weather, we forecast three-year EBIT CAGR of 2.6% for the
Australian division and 5.2% for Group EBIT over the period to CY15.

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.

Relative to global peers


Trading at 10.2x EV/EBITDA, CCL is not expensive against its global peers which trade at 10.4x.
However, the majority of CCLs bottler peers are trading in the 9-10x EBITDA range, suggesting
CCL is not cheap either.
Based on the lack of clear value and potential medium-term earnings risks, we are downgrading
our recommendation on CCL to Underweight.

Current recommendation definitions


CBA Institutional Equities investment recommendations are determined by the covering analyst and reflect the analysts assessment of a stocks expected total
shareholder return (TSR). Stock expected TSR is calculated as the difference between the analysts 12-month price target and the current share price plus the forecast
dividend yield.
Overweight: Stocks with an Overweight recommendation represent the most attractive stocks under the analysts coverage. They are generally forecast to generate
higher TSR compared to the rest of the analysts coverage.
Neutral: Stocks with a Neutral recommendation are less attractive than stocks with an Overweight recommendation. They are generally forecast to generate lower
TSR compared to stocks with an Overweight recommendation in the analysts coverage.
Underweight: Stocks with an Underweight recommendation are the least attractive stocks. They are generally forecast to generate lower TSR compared to stocks
with a Neutral recommendation in the analysts coverage.
Note: CBAs previous recommendations prior to 9 November 2012 were:
Buy: Stocks with a Buy recommendation represent the most attractive stocks under the analysts coverage. They are forecast to generate significantly positive
expected total shareholder returns.
Hold: Stocks with a Hold recommendation are less attractive than stocks with a Buy recommendation. They are forecast to generate flat to slightly positive expected
total shareholder returns.
Sell: Stocks with a Sell recommendation are the least attractive stocks. They are forecast to generate flat or negative expected total shareholder returns.
CBAs previous recommendations prior to 25 January 2010 were:
Short term (over 6 months): Buy appreciate by >10%, Accumulate increase between 2% and 10%, Reduce increase by less than 2% or fall by up to 5%,Sell fall
by >5%.
Long term (24 months) Outperform (O / P) exceed market return by >5%, Market Perform (M / P) be in line with market return, +/-5%, Under Perform (U / P) be
less than market return by >5%.
