ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

First, and foremost, I must express gratitude to Miss Wipawee Chaiyaphruk,

for without whom, I would never have begun this journey. Thank you for the excitement

you showed when you registered for your program and taking the extra time to explore

if Mahidol had a program that would interest me. Also, thank you for all the support

over the years, from listening to me complain, being a sounding board for ideas,

providing suggestions to improve my work, enduring my worst when stressed, and

pushing me when I seemed to be unable to find the motivation needed myself. Without

your support, this accomplishment would never have been realized.

Second, I would like to thank Mister Nikolai Usack and the rest of the

Andromeda Simulations International team. They provided me the support and

flexibility at work to manage both my professional and academic demands.

Third, I would like to thank the professors at Mahidol University.

Especially, Ajarn Vasan Siraprapasiri who taught us the various valuation methods

required to complete this paper and for guiding us through the thematic paper process;

Ajarn Piyapas Tharavanij for making time to answer questions in relation to our papers,

providing guidance to improve our work, and making classes on very dry subjects

enjoyable; Ajarn Nareerat Taechapiroontong for her role as advisor and valuable

suggestions provided; and all the rest of the professors I had over the past two years,

they made the overall journey enjoyable.

Lastly, I would like to thank the other students of the MMCF program,

though we did not grow as close as I had hoped when first beginning, every one of them

was supportive and helped get each other to the finish line. Good luck in your next

endeavours and may you find much success and happiness throughout your lives.

ABSTRACT

This thematic paper is the culmination of studying financial management

and valuation, applying the various techniques to a publicly traded stock. In particular

it focuses on the Diageo Public Limited Company (DGE) and seeks to provide a fair

value price for DGE stock on December 31, 2017, through the use of relative valuation

techniques.

The paper includes a look at Diageo plc’s business, macro-economic

analysis, global alcohol beverage industry analysis, competition analysis, investment

summary, valuation, financial statement analysis, and investment risk analysis. The

valuation method employed is a relative valuation using a simple average of four ratios:

trailing P/E ratio, forward P/E ratio, EV/EBITDA, and P/BV. To accomplish this it

required forecasting future earnings and calculating last twelve month EPS, next twelve

month EPS and next twelve month EBITDA in the context that Diageo’s fiscal year end

is June 30, and by UK standards only reports results on the halves (every 6 months).

The fair value price found for DGE is 25.934 GBP, less than 1 GBP below

the DGE price of 26.895 GBP as of December 22, 2017. In light of the highly

conservative approach taken in forecasting, a recommendation to “Hold” is presented.

1.1.1 Valuation is indicative of Hold: With the target price at 25.934 GBP

at the end of calendar year 2017, there is 3.57% downside. The current situation is driven

by lots of uncertainty in Europe and Asia. However, if management is able to decrease

their effective interest rate to approximately 2.1% we see a share value of 26.504 GBP

for the same conservative growth rate, a downside of only 1.45%. In addition, if the

growth rate reaches the high end of projections (6.40%) we see a share price of 26.953

GBP, holding all else equal, providing an upside of 0.22%. We also see the fundamentals

remaining strong with relatively high liquidity and a trend towards less debt funding.

1.1.2 Moderate Growth for foreseeable future: Diageo is a mature

company in a mature industry. It is also already the largest producer of spirits in the

world. Management’s guidance is mid-single digit sales growth for the medium term.

Analyst consensus for Diageo is 4.2%, market research firms range from 2.1% CAGR

to 6.4% CAGR for the industry as a whole. We feel Diageo is entering a period of low

to moderate stable growth for the near term.

1.1.3 India & Asia to drive growth: The urbanization and growing middle

class in many Asian countries will help drive much of the growth over the near-term. In

addition, the expansion in India and experimentation with main stream spirits will help

capture some of the informal market. Successful implementation of main stream spirits

in India, will lead to further attempts to capture more of the informal market (estimated

at 25% of Global Market) in other countries.

1.1.4 Reentrance into hottest market - Irish Whiskey: The Irish Whiskey

category has been one of the fastest growing alcohol categories over the past 10 years,

seeing 131% growth. Diageo has been out of the market since disposing of Bushmills

in the Don Julio acquisition deal during 2015. Diageo has reentered the market with Roe

& Co. Irish Whiskey, made from sourced spirits. They plan to have a distillery

operational at the St. James Gate Brewery within 3 years.

1.1.5 International uncertainty influencing current situation: Brexit has

created lots of uncertainty in Europe, Diageo’s home market, in regard to exchange

rates, interest rates and trade agreements. China has a large growing middle class, but

some experts speculate it is heading towards balanced growth from its days of boom

growth. Uncertainty of regulations in other countries also continue to affect sales, for

example the Highway Ban in India drastically shrinking the countries market by banning

sales of alcohol within 500 meters of state and national highways.

1.2 Business Description

Figure 1.3: Distilled Spirits Production Process

Diageo PLC was formed in 1997 from the merger of Guinness and Grand

Metropolitan. It has grown into a multinational alcoholic beverage company,

headquartered in London, England. Currently they are the leading international spirits

player in every region of the world.

The company competes in multiple categories, including distilled spirits and

beer. They own manufacturing production facilities around the world, including

maltings, distilleries, breweries, packaging plants, maturation warehouses, cooperages

and distribution warehouses. In all, it currently operates more than 140 sites globally,

and has a presence in over 180 countries.

Under current management, they strive to be one of the best performing,

most trusted and respected consumer products companies in the world. They aim to

grow their participation in international premium spirits to capture demand from the

trend of rising populations and growing middle classes globally. They also seek to

capture the demand from increased popularity of spirits in emerging markets.

In developed markets this means driving premiumization through price tiers

up to their Reserve labels. In emerging markets, it means moving away from an import-

based model to becoming a local player.

principal products include Beer, Scotch Whisky, Gin, Vodka, Rum, Irish Cream

1.3 Macro-Economic Analysis

Analysts expect the global economy to grow an estimated 3.2% in 2018.

Developing economies should lead global growth as higher commodity prices and

improved fiscal positions support their growth. In 2019, growth is projected to fall to

3.1% due to higher inflation and less friendly monetary policies in advanced economies.

There is an estimated 500 million new legal age consumers expected to

come to the market over the next ten years. Approximately half of this increase is to be

seen in the emerging markets of India and Africa. There is also expected to be an

Source: Euromonitor International

Page 23: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

9

increase of 730 million consumers over the next ten years that will be able to afford

international style alcohol – 85% of this to be seen in emerging markets.

1.3.1 Emerging Markets

Key growth drivers to the global alcohol beverages market are changing

lifestyles, increasing social parties, and perception that consumption of alcohol relaxes

the mind. These are especially visible in emerging markets. The growth in legal drinking

age population is to be predominately driven by population growth in emerging markets.

These growing populations are also seeing an increased shift to urban populations along

with increasing disposable incomes.

Figure 1.7: Select Regions Percent of Diageo’s Sales for Past Five Years

1.3.2 E-Commerce, Digital/Social Media and Millennials

Technology has been radically changing the landscape of business around

the world. E-Commerce is opening up new channels for all products to be marketed and

sold through, the alcohol beverage industry is also affected and poised to benefit from

it. Also, digital and social media has opened up new ways for companies to connect and

interact with their customers, especially useful for products that rely on loyalty or sell a

‘lifestyle.’

Source: Diageo Annual Reports

Page 24: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

10

The millennial demographic is especially influenced by their peers and by

experts, they consider word of mouth in important part of gathering ideas and advice on

what to buy, leading them to choose premium products and have been seen to be more

likely to equate price with quality. Digital and social media has become a primary way

for them to communicate with their peers and experts. Companies able to successfully

navigate social media are able to tap into this demographic, connect more intimately

with their target consumer and potentially drive new trends. Millennials are also

expected to drive e-commerce sales in the coming years.

1.3.3 Brexit

With Diageo PLC headquartered in London, along with a nontrivial amount

of production as well, Brexit does create uncertainty and risk. The effects it will have

on markets and economy are still unknown, and it is unlikely that the spirit industry will

be untouched. Trade agreements are currently being honored, but they will need to be

renegotiated. Uncertainty will continue to hang over the world and the beverage

industry, especially UK produced spirits like Scotch and Gin, which potentially lose

ground in other markets to locally produced products.

1.3.4 China

China’s transition from booming growth to a period of more balanced

growth could lead to lower global demand and a drop in commodity prices. As China

moves up the value chain and increases imports of consumption goods, other emerging

markets could stand to gain. Depending on how this transition is handled, it could

potentially result in more sustainable global growth.

1.4 Industry Analysis

The global alcohol beverage market has been profitable and growing, this

trend is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. It is forecasted to surpass 1,977

billion USD by the end of 2025, from an estimated worth of 1,205 USD billion in 2017.

This would equate to a moderate 6.4% CAGR between 2017 and 2025.

Page 25: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

11

The Asia Pacific region is projected to hold dominance in the global

alcoholic beverages market from 2017 to 2025, expecting to account for a significant

market share by the end of 2025. This will be driven by the rising middle-class

population and popularity of e-commerce.

1.4.1 Developed Markets

Many consumers are moving to ‘quality over quantity’ as they attempt to

develop their tastes while maintaining a balanced lifestyle. These consumers are

prepared to pay a premium for high-quality brands with heritage and provenance.

Consumers are found to be increasingly drawn to traditions and heritage,

wanting to know the stories behind what they consume. This search for authenticity is

also driving the ‘craft’ product boom. This trend is most developed in beer, but is rapidly

expanding to distilled spirits. Breweries, wineries, and distilleries are seeing an

explosion in tourism as today’s consumers (especially Millennials) love supporting local

and learning about the background of what they are drinking.

Millennials are also driving a resurgence of ‘cocktail’ culture, coupled with

the increased taste for premium spirits, spirits are stealing greater market shares from

brewers.

1.4.2 Emerging Markets

Penetration by formal producers in emerging markets is low compared to

developed markets. The world’s informal alcohol market is predominately found in

emerging markets, this informal market is approximated at 25% of alcohol sales

globally. Unregulated production and sale of alcohol presents health risks to consumers

and impacts the overall collection of taxation. Thus, an important and large opportunity

is mainstream spirits, providing consumers access to safe, branded products at

affordable price points.

1.4.3 Whiskey

Whiskey continues to diversify, seen in the explosion of craft distilleries in

the US, growing popularity of flavored whiskeys and solid growth of Irish whiskey. The

whole whiskey category looks primed for continued growth. Further diversification and

growth will be driven by experimenting with aging conditions, selection of the wood,

experimenting with different yeast strains and new flavor profiles. The new and growing

appreciation of Millennials for brown spirits has helped jumpstart an American Whiskey

revival – they particularly love Bourbon, and are now drinking Rye and Scotch.

Page 27: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

13

Irish Whiskey sales continue to rise, thanks in part to a broad demographic

of consumers. Unlike its counterparts, Irish Whiskey tends to be sweeter and smoother,

gaining women among its loyal drinkers -approximately 40% of consumers are female.

It has also become a natural ingredient for craft cocktails. Irish Whiskey also possesses

a strong and diverse premium segment that appeals to today’s craft drinkers.

1.4.4 Vodka

Since, the flavored-vodka craze died down, the category has struggled to

adjust to recent market trends. However, Vodka still represents almost 34% of all spirits

sales, more than any other category. Consumers are seen to be less excited about

premium vodka, preferring non-premium vodka.

1.4.5 Gin

Like other categories, Gin is seeing a renaissance driven through craft

distillers that are experimenting with new flavors and botanicals. Multinationals that

once dominated the category are seeing more competition due to this.

1.4.6 Rum

The rum category has been stagnant, but has the potential to grow if it can

exploit the same trends as other categories (e.g., Whiskey), in particular offering more

premium products and/or focus on single barrel opposed to blended, longer maturation,

experimenting with barrels, emphasizing country of origin and source of the molasses

or sugar cane juice.

1.4.7 Tequila

Consumer attitudes toward Tequila have changed in recent years, and

premium tequila is gaining more shelf space. Tequila brands have done well retaining

the artisanal traditions and handmade qualities, which has led to premium Tequila

products being particularly embraced by Millennials (who appreciation all things craft).

Brands have also pushed to get consumers to think of top-shelf tequila in the same way

Page 28: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

14

they do whiskey: as a spirit that can be enjoyed for its smoothness and complexity of

flavors.

1.4.8 Cider

Hard cider exploded in 2014 to over 28 million 2.25-gallon cases. It has

continued to outpace the beer market as a whole. Cider has specific advantages with

consumers, as it is a refreshing alternative to higher ABV products. It also appeals across

genders, with a demographic split of nearly 50/50 between men and women.

1.4.9 Lifestyle Products

Holistic lifestyle products continue to grow across markets as consumers

continue to seek gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian/vegan friendly, low calorie and low

sugar products.

1.4.10 Regulations and Advertising Restrictions

Operating in the global alcohol beverage industry is subject to extensive

regulatory compliance in the areas of production, product liability, distribution,

importation, marketing, promotion, sales, pricing, labelling, packaging, advertising,

labor, pensions, compliance and control systems and environmental issues.

Restrictions on advertising, marketing and sales of alcohol around the world

are impacting sales. Restrictions range from complete prohibition of alcohol in certain

countries/cultures to restrictions on advertising style, media and messaging used. A

number of countries prohibit television as a marketing medium, while others carefully

regulate it. Similarly, many countries regulate the use of internet-based and social media

marketing in relation to alcohol. This has the impact of newly launched drinks not

reaching the intended consumers.

1.5 Competition Analysis

Diageo’s brands compete on the basis of consumer loyalty, quality and

price.

Page 29: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

15

The global alcohol beverage market is highly fragmented in nature, driven

by the presence of many small firms that operate in regional and/or local markets and

several larger firms with global foot prints. According to Euromonitor International data

from the calendar year 2016, the 10 largest global spirits companies control less than

30% of the total global market, by volume. Diageo is #1 capturing 9.3% share of the

global spirit market, by volume, and have 4 of the top 20 brands globally by volume -

McDowell’s 2.3%, Smirnoff 1.1%, Johnnie Walker 0.6%, and Old Tavern 0.5%.

1.5.1 Distilled Spirits

In distilled spirits, Diageo’s major global competitors are Pernod Ricard

Groupe, Beam Suntory, and Brown-Forman Corporation. Each company has several

brands that compete directly with Diageo’s in various categories and at various price

points. Diageo also faces competition from regional and local companies in the various

countries it operates in.

1.6 Investment Summary

1.6.1 Expansion Back into Irish Whisky

After disposing of Bushmills in the deal to acquire Don Julio, Diageo has

reentered the fast growing Irish Whiskey market with Roe & Co. Irish Whiskey.

Currently, it is produced from sourcing the whiskey from other producers, but Diageo

has plans to renovate the old power plant building at St. James Gate Brewery into a

distillery. Operations at the distillery are projected to begin within 3 years. The Irish

Whiskey category has been one of the fastest growing alcohol categories over the past

10 years, seeing 131% growth.

1.6.2 Growth of Whisky Market

According to IWSR predicts that “other” whiskies, especially Indian, will

be the largest contributor to the overall spirits category from 2017 – 2021. Diageo is

well positioned for this being the no.1 producer of Scotch, and having many offerings

within other whisky categories. Diageo also owns more than 54% in the no. 1 distiller

in India and will benefit from their growth as well.

1.6.3 Premiumization

The global trend in developed markets is moving toward high-quality,

premium brands. So, even though growth by volume has slowed in many categories,

high prices are able to be achieved helping drive overall growth. In addition, many

categories still present an opportunity to capture this trend as it has only been

predominately seen in the Whisky category. For example, Gin is seeing a resurgence as

of late and Rum could easily follow some of the same methods used with Whisky, like

different barrel aging. Diageo competes in every price range, and has many brands that

can help them capture/stay relevant in the premiumization trend.

1.6.4 India & Mainstream Spirits

Diageo owns controlling interest in the largest distiller in India, and India is

projected to be a major part of what drives the growth over the next few years. In

Page 35: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

21

addition, they are innovating in India through mainstream spirits. Mainstream spirits are

low cost alcohols that try to capture market share of the informal alcohol market

(estimated to be 25% of the overall global market), by providing safe, branded alcohol

to consumers. Following success in the India market, there are plans to implement

similar tactics in other emerging markets. Gaining market share and building loyalty

with new customers will help drive growth in India and other emerging markets in the

future.

1.6.5 Growing Number of Consumers

The number of consumers of legal drinking age in general is expected to

grow by approximately 500 million over the next 10 years. This will help drive global

growth. With Diageo operating in much of the world, they will be positively impacted

by this.

1.6.6 Consumer Disposable Income Growing

Globally, consumers’ disposable income is growing, especially in China’s

middle class, and other emerging markets as more of the population moves to urban

areas. This increase in disposable income allows them to increase spending on non-

essentials like alcohol. The perception of drinking alcohol for relaxation coupled with

this can help lead to increased spending. As Diageo competes at every price point, if

they can capture the movement up in brands, they can increase their financial

performance by capturing greater margins.

1.6.7 Millennials & Changing Landscape

Millennials have been the main driver of premiumization as they are more willing to

pay for perceived quality or heritage brands. They have also helped rejuvenate the

cocktail culture that is helping spirits growth. In addition, their social media trends have

changed the way loyalty brands can market, interact and stay connected with direct

consumers. As more millennials enter the market, they will have a growing impact on

trends. Diageo should be positioned well to capture this demographic and the trends in

Page 36: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

22

the market it creates through its many heritage and premium brands, while also

increasing their craft brands.

1.7 Valuation: Relative Valuation Model

To value Diageo, we have chosen to use a relative valuation method through

four multiples: Trailing P/E, Forward P/E, P/BV and Forward EV/EBITDA. Using these

four multiples we arrived at four target prices and averaged them together to get a fair

price for Diageo shares.

First, we plotted Trailing and Forward P/E bands based on 5 years past

history. In doing so, we found that in relation to itself, Diageo is overvalued. Diageo’s

current trailing P/E is between one standard deviation and 2 standard deviations above

its 5-year mean. Diageo’s Forward P/E is greater than 2 standard deviations above its 5-

year average.

Source: Reuters & Group Calculations

Page 37: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

23

Figure 1.17: DGE Forward P/E Band for Past Five Years

We then determined a group of peers to compare Diageo with. To do so, we

compared many characteristics including: market cap, debt-to-equity, ROE, long-term

growth, and others. For each characteristic compared, we tried to limit the chosen firms

to the companies that were within 1 standard deviation of Diageo’s value. After looking

at many companies, we narrowed it down to five. The five firms used as peers are:

Pernod Ricard SA., Heineken NV, Brown-Forman Corporation, Molson Coors Brewing

Company, and Thai Beverage PCL.

Table 1.5: 2017 Financial Ratio Comparison of Diageo and Selected Peer Group

Page 38: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

24

Next, we forecasted EPS and EBITDA for Diageo by creating a pro forma

income statement for future years. For the growth rate we compared various experts,

and decided to use the most conservative growth rate of 2.4% for Distilled Spirits and

2.1% for the rest of the industry. For the fiscal year 2018, we projected a profit of 2,832

million GBP attributable to the Equity Shareholders, and for fiscal year 2019, we

projected a profit of 3,001 million GBP attributable to the Equity Shareholders of

Diageo.

Table 1.6: Five Year Pro Forma Income Statement for Diageo PLC

Diageo’s fiscal year end is June 30, and the UK no longer requires quarterly

reporting, so to project a target price for Dec. 31, 2017 we need to calculate the last

twelve months (LTM) EPS and the next twelve months (NTM) EPS and EBITDA for

comparing to the ratios. To do this, we first looked at past annual reports and interim

reports to get an average percent that the 1st half of the year contributes to EPS and

EBITDA. We then multiplied these percentages by the forecasted results to get 1st half

results. Then for the LTM EPS calculation we used the last half of FY2017 actual results

and added the forecasted results for the first half of FY2018. Similarly, for the NTM

EPS and EBITDA calculations, we used the forecasted results for the second half of

Source: Diageo Annual Filings & Group Calculations

Page 39: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

25

FY2018 and first half of FY2019. Doing this we arrive at an LTM EPS of 1.51 GBP,

and NTM EPS and EBITDA of 1.164 GBP and 4,972 GBP millions, respectively.

Table 1.7: EPS and EBITDA Calculations for Last 12 Months and Next 12 Months

Using the values for LTM EPS and NTM EPS and EBITDA, we are able to

multiply them by their respective ratios to arrive at target prices for Diageo shares. We

also use the book value from the most recent results, which are fiscal year 2017, of

12,028 GBP million. Using Trailing EPS, we arrive at a target price of 25.674 GBP.

Forward P/E yields a target price of 26.310 GBP. For EV/EBITDA, after multiplying

the projected EBITDA by the peer average of 15.78, we arrive at an estimated enterprise

value of 78,489 GBP millions. From here we added in the value of cash and cash

equivalents from the most recent balance sheet and subtracted the value of debt and non-

controlling interests. This then provides an equity value for Diageo of approximately

68,923 GBP millions, and a target share price of 27.318 GBP. Finally, the P/BV

calculation comes to a target price of 24.432 GBP.

26

Table 1.8: Relative Valuation Target Price Calculations

1.7.1 Fair Market Price

To arrive at a fair market price for Diageo shares, we took the four target

prices calculated above and averaged them together with equal weighting. This provided

a fair price for Diageo shares of 25.934 GBP. Comparing this with the current price of

26.895, we recommend to hold as we are very conservative in our assumptions and see

lots of upside.

1.8 Financial Statement Analysis

1.8.1 Income Statement

1.8.1.1 Continued Improvement in Gross Margin and Operating

Profit: Diageo is a few years into a cost reduction program. The program is aimed at

improving Gross Margin through decreasing the COGS and Operating Profit through

cost savings and efficient use of resources. Gross profit improved to 7,370 million GBP

from 6,234 million GBP, a decrease from COGS being 40.5% of Net Sales to 38.8%.

Overall SG&A remained the same percent of Net Sales (14.9%), allowing for Operating

Profit to improve from 2,841 million GBP in 2016 to 3,559 million GBP in 2017. The

program has been very successful thus far, and management has increased the guidance

of 100bps improvement in Gross Profit Margin to 175bps.

1.8.1.2 Finance Charges Decline: Finance charges have

continued to decline both in terms of value (over the past 3 years) and as percent of net

sales (over the past 5 years). This is in line with the decrease in non-current debt over

that same period. This should continue as they seek to maintain the leverage guidance

of 2.5x – 3.0x Net Debt to EBITDA ratio.

1.8.2 Balance Sheet

1.8.2.1 Assets Remain Relatively Stable: Most asset accounts

saw a slight uptick from last year, with the total assets growing from 28,491 million

GBP to 28,848 million GBP. The percent to total assets for most accounts remained

stable from last year.

1.8.2.2 Strengthening of Balance Sheet: As mentioned above the

value and percent of total assets of non-current debt has continued to fall, 8,071 million

GBP (2016) to 6,583 million GBP (2017) and 28.3% (2016) to 22.8% (2017). Despite

this decrease in funding through non-current debt, the Balance Sheet has continued to

29

expand (28,491 million GBP to 28,848 million GBP) driven by the growth of retained

earnings from 6,386 million GBP to 8,168 million GBP.

Pernod Ricard’s 2017 Results

1.8.2.3 ROE Grows Slightly: ROE has been falling over the past

2 years, but grew slightly this year to 24.96% from 24.31%. The decrease had been due

to lowering the debt-to-equity level (0.99 to 0.75), but was offset this year by the

increase in profits from last year, 2,362 million GBP to 2,772 million GBP.

1.9 Investment Risks and Downside Possibilities

1.9.1 Brexit

Diageo is headquartered in the United Kingdom and has significant

production and investment in Scotland. The UK has officially initiated the process for

leaving the European Union. The terms of this withdrawal are uncertain and negotiations

could last more than 2 years. The uncertainty is anticipated to last for a sustained period

while the UK finalizes the details to the withdrawal from the EU and negotiates trade

agreements with other countries. The UK’s withdrawal from the EU could also

negatively impact economic conditions in Europe and adversely affect Diageo’s

business and financial results. For example, the process could lead to exchange rate

volatility or risk to supply chains.

The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union could also

impact the makeup of the United Kingdom as the individual members discuss

independence and border issues. This could result in further political uncertainty and

potentially affect Diageo’s business and financial results, especially since Diageo has

the aforementioned large footprint in Scotland.

Source: Annual Filings & Group Calculations

Page 46: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

32

1.9.2 Political & Economic Instability

Diageo’s business is dependent on the general conditions in its most

important markets, especially the USA, UK, and other countries that form the EU. Any

downturn in economic conditions in any of these markets, could lead to decreased

consumer confidence and consumer spending, thus reducing demand for Diageo’s

products. An economic downturn could also adversely impact Diageo’s customers and

suppliers, which in turn could adversely affect Diageo’s business and financial results

from destocking or increased bad debt expense.

There is an increased risk in emerging markets and a substantial portion of

Diageo’s operations are conducted in emerging markets (approximately 42% of net sales

in FY2017). Changing environments in emerging markets can affect Diageo’s ability to

import or export products and to repatriate funds, as well as, impact levels of demand.

Depending on the severity of the impact, risks could have a material effect on the

financial results of the business.

Figure 1.25: Diageo Total Global Packaging Materials and Percent Breakdown by

Type for Past Three Years

Source: Diageo Annual Reports

Page 47: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

33

The political and economic climate of recent years has led to an increased

focus on tax collection and vigor to challenge methodology used by multinational

companies to compute tax burden. Changes in tax laws (including tax rates), tax treaties,

accounting policies and accounting standards can possibly result in litigation or other

actions by relevant tax authorities.

1.9.3 Exchange & Interest Rates

As a global company a significant portion of their income comes in the form

of the local currencies of the countries they are operating in, while the results are

presented in GBP. Diageo is thus exposed to exchange rate risks that can affect the

valuation of transactions, and translation of its operations and net assets in other locales

back to GBP. Any large adverse movements in the pound can have a significant impact

on the reported results from year to year. Exchange rate movements can also increase

interest expense on non-pound denominated borrowings. Likewise, Diageo can be

negatively impacted by fluctuations in interest rates, leading to increased costs on debt.

Page 48: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

34

Figure 1.27: GBP to EUR Exchange Rate, December 22, 2012 – December 22, 2017

1.9.4 Change in Regulations

Diageo’s operations have heavy regulatory requirements in regard to

production, distribution, importation, marketing, advertising, promotion, sales, pricing,

labelling, packaging, product liability, labor, pensions, antitrust, compliance and control

systems, and environmental issues. Changes to any of these regulations or compliance

requirements could adversely affect Diageo’s business through additional costs or

liabilities. For example, countries where Diageo operates could impose new labelling,

product or production requirements, limitations on the marketing activities, restrictions

on retail outlets, restrictions on importation and distribution or other restrictions on the

locations or occasions where alcohol beverages can be sold, which can impact the sales

of Diageo products. .

1.9.5 Changing Consumer Tastes

Diageo’s competitive position relies heavily on its ability to offer high-

quality products that appeal to a wide audience. Consumer preference, whether on a

global scale or local, can change due to many factors, including changes in

demographics, changing social trends, changes in travel, vacation/leisure activity

patterns, weather conditions, and/or economic downturn. All of these can reduce a

consumers’ willingness or ability to purchase products from Diageo.

Source: Reuters & Group Calculations

Page 49: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

35

In addition, the social acceptability of Diageo’s products could decline

depending on the general view on alcohol consumption. This could also lead to

regulatory action, litigation or customer complaints against companies in the industry

and have an adverse effect on Diageo’s business and financial results.

1.9.6 Increased Competition

Diageo faces substantial competition in the countries that it operates and

competes with other companies across a wide range of channels and occasions. The

beverage industry has experienced continuing consolidation among major global

producers, as well as, among customers in many countries. This could lead to stronger

competitors, increased pressure from customers, negative impact to distribution

network, downward pressure on prices, and/or decline in market share for Diageo. Any

decline in demand or consumer spending could also lead to increased competition for

market share. Any of these factors may adversely affect Diageo’s results and potential

for growth.

1.9.7 Litigation

Alcohol beverage companies can be exposed to class action or other private

or governmental suits in relation to alcohol advertising, product liability, alcohol abuse

problems or other health consequences arising from the misuse of alcohol. Diageo is

also at risk of litigation, enforcement or other regulatory actions by tax, customs,

competition, environmental, anti-corruption and other relevant regulatory authorities,

including the methodology for assessing importation value, transfer pricing or

compliance matters. Any litigation can result in damages, penalties or fines. It can also

lead to damage to the reputation of Diageo or its brands, and/or impact the ability of

management to focus on business matters, which could adversely affect Diageo’s

business and financial results.

1.9.8 Climate Change

There is growing concern that climate change is having an adverse effect on

global temperatures, weather patterns and severity of extreme weather events. Climate

Page 50: RELATIVE VALUATION OF DIAGEO PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY

36

change, or just the measures enacted to address climate change, could have a negative

effect on agricultural productivity in the many regions Diageo procures/sources its raw

materials. Diageo could suffer decreased supply or increased prices for a number of the

raw materials necessary to produce Diageo’s products, including sugar, cereals, hops,

agave and grapes.

Figure 1.28: Diageo’s Total Raw Materials and Percent Breakdown by Type for

Past Three Years

Water is the main ingredient in substantially all of Diageo’s products, and it

is a limited resource in many parts of the world that Diageo operates. As demand for

water continues to increase, and if water becomes scarcer or the quality of available

water decreases, Diageo may face increasing production costs or capacity constraints,

which in turn could adversely affect Diageo’s business and financial results.

2.4 Five Forces Analysis

2.4.1 Threat of New Entrants: High – Opposed to Diageo

On a global scale not as likely, but on a local level, new entrants are

constantly entering the market and competing directly with Diageo’s products, e.g., craft

brewers, craft distillers, etc.

2.4.2 Threat of Substitutes: Very High – Opposed to Diageo

For every product Diageo sells, there are numerous similar products at

various price points. Also, other alcohol beverages are always a possible substitute, e.g.

Cocktail Culture stealing market share from brewers.

2.4.3 Industry Rivalry: Very High – Opposed to Diageo

There are many entities in the industry, vying for marketing space and

market share. For example, Pernod Ricard’s vision is to overtake Diageo and be the

largest distiller in the world.

2.4.4 Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Low – Favorable to Diageo

There are many fragmented suppliers and majority of raw materials are

agricultural commodities taking world market prices (e.g., barley, corn, wheat, etc.).

However, Diageo does enter into long-term contracts to ensure price and quantity

stability, so suppliers do have some limited bargaining power.

2.4.5 Bargaining Power of Customers: Moderate – Favorable to Diageo

Customers are very fragmented, relatively small (most are regional or

smaller entities), and numerous. However, there are many rivals/substitutes competing

for shelf-space, so can easily threaten to take away space.
