Guinness Nigeria’s Post

Recently, I had the opportunity to join Rotus Odiri on SmoothFM 98.1's Business Hub to discuss Tolaram's acquisition of Guinness Nigeria from Diageo. During our conversation, we explored how macroeconomic events, policies implemented by the current administration and the Central Bank of Nigeria, along with other domestic challenges, have impacted the business environment in the country.

ANOTHER ONE LEAVES Tolaram Group, producers of Indomie Instant Noodles, will acquire Diageo's 58.02 percent shareholding in Guinness Nigeria. Implication is that Diageo is divesting from the country while still maintaining their ownership of the Guinness brand and hence entitled to royalties (in foreign currencies). Guiness Nigeria Plc recently reported a loss after tax of N61.7 billion for the nine months ending March 31, 2024, a stark contrast to the N5.9 billion profit in the same period the previous year. Despite a 28% year-on-year revenue growth to N220.3 billion, significant foreign exchange losses, totaling N83 billion, and a pre-tax loss of N60.5 billion have severely impacted the company’s financial health. The financial strain has wiped out Guinness Nigeria’s retained earnings, pushing the company into a negative equity of N4.7 billion. The interest expenses on loans and borrowings surged by 490% year-on-year to N5.6 billion, compounding the fiscal challenges. It’s a sad reality of what has become of our economy under the stewardship of the present administration.

#Nigeria is an important growth market for our company globally and I have had the pleasure of visiting the country twice in the last month. Last week, I travelled to #Abuja to meet the Honourable Ministers of Finance, of Agriculture, and of Budget and Planning. The reception was very positive, with a clear message that Nigeria is open for business and is looking to listen to investors’ feedback, and to reform policies to promote revenue generation and growth. Our local business, International Breweries Plc, has been an integral part of the community in Nigeria for over 50 years. AB InBev Africa is an investor for the long-term, having invested just under half a billion dollars in the country in recent years, contributing to government revenue and creating direct and indirect employment through beer’s extensive value chain that touches #agriculture, #brewing, #logistics, #distribution and #retail.  The meetings allowed us to discuss this contribution to the economy, our #SmartDrinking programmes, as well as policy imperatives that will promote growth of the beer sector, while ensuring that the untaxed and dangerous-to-society illicit alcohol sector is effectively discouraged. We were pleased to see how well placed our business and our sector is towards supporting the Nigerian Government’s imperatives of promoting diversification of the economy through the growth of the industrial sector, and through backward integration in agriculture.  We look forward to continuing the collaboration between our company and the Nigerian Government to achieve a #FutureWithMoreCheers!

I was really curious when I saw the news about Diageo selling off their stake in Guinness Nigeria to Tolaram Group. This curiosity prompted me to research and read up on this . I found out that Guinness Nigeria incurred a Net Loss of N61.7 billion Naira. The interesting thing to note here is that the company actually recorded more sales than the previous fiscal year. According to the cable news, their nine-month earnings figures show sales revenue of N220.3 billion, which is an increase of 27.7 percent year-on-year, up from 20.4 percent at half year.. Despite that they experienced a huge loss. This loss is because of the increase in cost of production caused by the unstable FX. What this translates to is that in the present Nigerian economy, it’s not enough to seek for increased sales. The volatility of the Foreign Exchange Market can change one’s fortune negatively overnight. If multinationals who have been in business for decades and have the best financial minds on their teams are finding it hard to weather this storm, what does this mean for small businesses? Now more than ever small businesses have to seek for ways to reduce the cost of production and adjust their business model to more sustainable ones. As much as many businesses are experiencing losses, so many businesses are experiencing exceptional profits. Choose the side of positivism and ask yourself what are they doing right ? Kindly share if you found this interesting.

Is There Light At The End Of The Tunnel As Guinness Sells Majority Stake In Nigeria To Singapore’s Tolaram? 'In conclusion, Diageo’s departure from Nigeria, despite retaining the Guinness brand license, signifies a shift in the dynamics of foreign investment in the country. The move will undoubtedly impact Nigeria’s economic landscape, whether for good or for bad, only time will tell, although one or two precedents suggest the West African giant will come out ahead. In any case it presents an opportunity for Tolaram to leverage its expertise and strengthen its foothold in the region and perhaps even help to shape the Nigerian beverage market and foreign investor sentiment in the long run.' https://lnkd.in/ddHur3jX
