An interesting update from the company, on the recent new rules.
- Primary listed companies in SGX should hold its AGM in Singapore
- If not, video conference should be provided.

The company has been approved by SGX to exempt from the rules, because it is not allowed by Thai law and the company's Article of Association.

May be China companies will apply for the same, with the same excuses? Big Grin

Looking at the latest B/S for ThaiBev, it has expectedly used the cap reduction monies from FNN to repay its debt - reducing its gearing from 120% to 60+%, which is still much higher than its trailing 5y gearing average of 20-30% before the acquisition.

The asset stripping exercise from FNN+FCL looks still very much intact.

Another company whose CEO is the descendent of the founder. The company business looks strong but this Chinese man father and son way of successor planning always bother me.

Has this CEO already proven himself with his capabilities or he is just another spoilt kid born with silver spoon who always go back to his father?

Or it shouldn't be the determining factor for decision whether to invest into the company?

How well do you know the management of the companies you invested in? There are lots of investing advice that also come with something along the lines of ''know the management...successful track record etc'', but frankly as a retail investor, we wouldn't get the exposure to get a feel of the management, and it will not matter much anyway.

From what I know, son is heavily involved with many operations and some of Thai Bev's activities like the public announcement event to launch their new distribution network (some months back), he is there to officiate. Thai business families are pretty traditional and they have family on various positions, some overlapping too like Berli Jucker etc.

ThaiBev confident of success amid Thai turmoil

CEO Thapana also sees room for cooperation with Thai-controlled F&N
Published on May 22, 2014 1:21 AM


By Jonathan Kwok

THE political crisis in Thailand has many investors worried but Singapore-listed Thai Beverage Public Company believes it can weather the storm.

"We are well positioned, we have a wide range of products that can (do well) during the good times and the bad times," said president and chief executive Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi.

ThaiBev has dealt with turmoil in the market before, he told a briefing yesterday, referring to domestic unrest in the last five to six years.

"People were on the street, they demonstrate, it's something that we've been adapting to so far. We are confident that we will be able to deliver a similar performance that we have demonstrated," he said.

The current political drama has dragged on for seven months with the latest twist being the declaration of martial law this week.

Yet during this time, ThaiBev posted a 73 per cent leap in this year's first-quarter net profit on higher revenue and stronger margins.

The food and beverage group's net profit for the three months ended March 31 was 5.97 billion baht (S$230 million), up from 3.45 billion baht a year ago. Revenue rose 5 per cent to 41 billion baht, mostly from an increase in sales of spirits.

Several analysts raised their target prices on the company after this set of results.

ThaiBev is behind Thailand's popular Chang Beer but also has businesses in spirits, non-alcoholic drinks and food.

ThaiBev, listed here in 2006, grabbed the attention of investors in 2012 when it was involved in the tussle for conglomerate Fraser & Neave (F&N) and beermaker Asia Pacific Breweries (APB).

ThaiBev and TCC Assets, both controlled by Mr Thapana's father Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, at that time bought stakes in F&N and APB.

APB now belongs to Dutch brewer Heineken but Mr Charoen controls F&N, with ThaiBev holding a part of his F&N stake.

His family controls a number of other assets, including the InterContinental Singapore hotel in Middle Road, where yesterday's briefing was held.

Mr Thapana, also a director of F&N, sees room for cooperation between ThaiBev and F&N and referred to them as "strategic partners".

The beverage market share for both companies in South-east Asia is 15 per cent and he sees opportunities for regional growth, especially with the Asean Economic Community project, which aims to achieve regional economic integration by next year.

Both companies are doing a strategic review and charting their future, and expect to conclude the exercise by the next quarter.

"ThaiBev together with F&N, we have the aspiration of becoming a large Asean player, becoming the regional powerhouse for beverages, focusing on the non-alcoholic beverages in particular," said Mr Thapana.

"That is why we are working with F&N. F&N already has access to the markets in Malaysia and Singapore. Of course they are working on how to develop in new markets, that's something that we are working together on."

F&N has begun selling ThaiBev's Oishi Green Tea in Malaysia but Mr Thapana said it is still too early to say how well the brand is doing there.

ThaiBev is looking to start distributing F&N products like the 100Plus sports drink in Thailand, from the second quarter of next year. "It's an exciting time for us," said Mr Thapana.

One possibility is the stock market is a super bull(in general).
No amount of bad news can slow it down.
Very contradict right?
Just look at the number of bad news in Straits Time and see whether it's imaginary or real?

Nobody can tell but you have to think hard.

The question is not what if you are right but what if you are wrong.

what's your exit plan? What's your backup plan if your exit plan failed? what's your backup of your backup plan?
