SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis

SWOT ANALYSIS
A.G.Barr p.l.c. (A.G.Barr) is a manufacturer, distributor and marketer of soft drinks in the UK and Ireland.
Profitability position, operational network, product offerings and research and development (R&D)
activities are the major strengths of the company, whereas product recalls remains as a major area of
concern. In the future, intense competition, changing consumer preferences and obesity and water
concerns could affect its future growth avenues. However, strategic partnerships, growing global
consumption of functional drinks and new product launches are likely to provide ample growth
opportunities for the company.

launching products ahead of competition. The company’s R&D initiatives are aimed at new product

Weakness

Product Recalls

The company recalled a number of products in the past. Such product recalls have a negative impact on
the company’s brand image and may also result in decease in customer’s confidence in the company. In

A.G.Barr p.l.c. Page 11

A.G.Barr p.l.c.
SWOT Analysis

October 2016, the company recalled its Rubicon sparkling mango 2ltr soft drink. It recalled four batches of
its mango soft drink products due to the presence of yeast fermentation in some of its bottles. This could
pose a serious threat on health of its customers because yeast fermentation could lead to build high
pressure in these bottles which could result in burst of these bottles. It also spoils the content in the bottle
delivering an unpleasant taste and odour making it unsuitable for human consumption. A.G.Barr recalled
these bottles with batch codes 6149, 6150, 6176 and 6177 packed on February 2017 and March 2017.
The company displayed point of sale notices in all of its retail stores and also explains its customers
about the damage of the product.

Opportunity

Strategic Partnerships

The company establishes and nourishes collaboration and agreements with other companies to enhance
its product portfolio and to bring non-dilutive capital into the company. Promotional initiatives play a major
role in building brand loyalty and customer confidence for companies irrespective of industries. These
initiatives assist the companies in development of brand awareness, identification of new target
customers, markets and in development of new products. Sponsorship of sports events also helps the
companies in reaching wide customer base as eventually, sports events became primary location for
muss gatherings than any other. To capture such opportunity, companies are taking new strategies on
promotions and competing with each other for new contracts. A.G.Barr undertook several promotional
initiatives in FY2016, focusing on the Scotland region. In January 2017, the company appointed as a
national supplier of bottled water for both IAAF World Championships London 2017 and the World Para
Athletics Championships. In February 2016, the company entered into a five-year agreement with the
SSE Hydro, an entertainment venue in Scotland. Under the agreement, the company was appointed as
the Official Soft Drink Partner of the SSE Hydro. In the same month, A.G. Barr entered into a three-year
agreement with Scottish Rugby. Under the agreement the company was appointed as the Official Soft
Drink Partner of Scottish Rugby till 2019. In February 2016, the company was appointed as the official
soft drink partner for Scottish Rugby until 2019. This three-year deal allows to supply soft drinks, Barr cola
and Strathmore water products to Scotland national team, Scotland 7s team and the country’s two
professional clubs, Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh Rugby. In the last 18 months the company supplied
2,00,000 bottles for rugby athletes to keep them hydrated. Such agreements could expand the company’s
product portfolio in driving revenue growth in the Scotland region.

New Product Launches

Product innovations and introductions could help the company to enjoy advantage over its peers and
build brand equity, besides driving overall sales growth. New product launches could provide an
opportunity for the company to cater to changing consumer tastes and serve diverse markets more
efficiently, besides keeping the product categories vital. In July 2016, the company launched a low calorie
flavored soft drink, IRN-BRU XTRA with zero sugar content. The company implemented an outdoor
marketing campaign and sold 20 million cans within its launch of first six months. In the same month, it
also launched Rubicon light & fruity juiced drinks in Mango & Coconut and Mango, Lime & Mint flavors. In
May 2016, the company launched exotic juice drinks under Rubicon Spring brand in four new flavors that
offers less than 15 calories per bottle. It is available in strawberry Kiwi, Lemon Lime, Orange Mango and

A.G.Barr p.l.c. Page 12

A.G.Barr p.l.c.
SWOT Analysis

Black Cherry Raspberry flavors. The company sold approximately 7.6 million bottles. In January 2016, the
company launched IRN-BRU soft drinks limited edition packs in both regular and sugar free variants.

Growing Global Consumption of Functional Drinks

The company may stand to benefit from the growing demand for soft drinks globally. Major factors include
a growth in global population and a general improvement in social and economic conditions. According to
an in-house report, Juice is expected to grow by 3-4% in period 2016 to 2021 due to increase in the
health concern people. In 2016, sales of Still Drinks are projected to grow by 9% over the previous year
due to increase in the disposable income. Fruit Powders is also forecasted to grow in 2016 compared to
2015. Dairy drinks are also expected to grow by 6% in 2016, over 2015, due to increase in the
advertisement of the companies. Furthermore, Iced/RTD Tea Drinks, Iced/RTD Coffee Drinks, Sports
Drinks and Energy Drinks are also expected to grow in period 2016-2021. With a strong and diverse
portfolio of soft drinks brands, PCPPI is well positioned to tap the market opportunities to drive growth.

Threat

Intense Competition

The company operates in a highly competitive market. Some of the key factors driving competition in the
industry include product functionality, product quality, pricing, product innovation and effectiveness of
marketing and distribution channels. To survive and succeed in a stiff competitive environment, it is very
important for the company to distinguish its product and service offerings through a clear and unique
value proposition. Major competitors of the company include Nichols plc, Britvic Plc, The Coca-Cola
Company, PepsiCo, Inc. and Tropicana UK Ltd. Some of the competitors of the company have greater
financial, marketing and other resources, which enables them to pursue more vigorous marketing and
expansion activities. Moreover, the growth potential in the food and beverage industry is driving the entry
of several new players into the marketplace and increased competition from established firms. Intense
competition may have a material adverse impact on the company’s operations.

Changing Consumer Preferences

A.G.Barr operates in the soft drinks market and its business depends principally on the customer
preferences and changing consumer demands. The company has to adapt quickly to these changes to
increase or maintain its business in the competitive industry. The consumers’ purchasing decisions are
highly subjective and could be influenced by various factors, such as brand image, product taste and
quality, and marketing programs. The company should anticipate and respond to these changing
consumer preferences in a time based manner, as the consumers tend to purchase and consume
alternate brands and might spend less on soft drinks. Although the company has a consistent focus on
innovation and creativity to stay abreast of changing consumer demands, however, any failure to identify
and respond to change in consumer preference could adversely affect consumer acceptance of
company’s products and also hampers the brand image of the company.

Obesity and Water Concerns

A.G.Barr p.l.c. Page 13

© MarketLine
A.G.Barr p.l.c.
SWOT Analysis

Health consequences resulting from obesity and water scarcity are primary concern areas for beverage
companies. Researchers, health advocates and dietary guidelines have advocated a reduction in
consumption of sweetened beverages in order to avoid obesity. Various government entities plan to
increase taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages to reduce consumption of such beverages and increase
revenue. For instance, the Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Tax (SWEET) Act, institutes a tax of 1 cent per
teaspoon of caloric sweetener such as sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. Increased consumer awareness
towards obesity and probable new or increased taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages by government
entities may reduce the company’s product sales. Moreover, increased water scarcity and availability of
quality water is deteriorating day by day. Water being a key ingredient for beverage manufacturers,
increasing demand for water may result in higher production costs in coming years. Such concerns could
affect the company’s profitability and its future growth business operations.

COMPANY VIEW
A statement by Mr. John R. Nicolson, the chairman of the company is given below. The statement has
been taken from the company's 2017 annual report.

Over the past 12 months we have seen some extremely significant events unfold across the UK and
beyond.

The announcement of a soft drinks sugar tax in the Chancellor’s budget in March 2016, and the
devaluation of sterling following the UK’s referendum vote to leave the European Union in June, added
additional external headwinds in a soft drinks market already impacted by price deflation.

Despite these macro external influences, the business has retained a clear focus on the execution of its
strategy and in particular on internal improvement actions. Financially, the business has delivered another
solid performance with profit before tax and exceptional items* of £42.4m, an increase of 2.7% on the
prior year (£41.3m), and exits the year with a strong balance sheet.

We maintained our market share across the period and continued to invest in our brands, with the key
brands, IRN-BRU and Rubicon, delivering good growth. Innovation has been a key strategic focus across
the year and the launches of IRN-BRU XTRA and Rubicon Spring in particular, both no added sugar
products, have proven successful.

As consumer tastes and preferences continue to change, and the demand for great tasting, reduced
sugar products increases, the recent announcement that 90% of our Company owned brands will contain
less than 5g of total sugars per 100ml by the autumn of 2017 is an extremely positive demonstration of
how the business is responding with both pace and commitment.

Our key partnerships with Rockstar and Dr Pepper Snapple Group continued to progress, complementing
our own portfolio both in the UK and increasingly on an international basis, where we have delivered
further growth, extending our international footprint and our franchise territory agreements.

The Funkin business, acquired in 2015, continues to exceed our acquisition expectations, and we remain
highly encouraged by the continued growth momentum of the Funkin brand and business. Our drive for
improvement across the business has not abated. We have continued to invest in our asset base,
including the installation of a new glass filling line at Cumbernauld, and are in the process of adding new
PET capability in our Milton Keynes facility. In addition, we have successfully completed a Company-wide
business reorganization that has both enhanced our organisational capability and reduced our overhead
base.We exit the year with a strong balance sheet, and are well placed to exploit growth opportunities as
and when they arise.

Dividend

The Board is pleased to be in a position to maintain its commitment to a progressive dividend policy and
recommend a final dividend of 10.87p per share to give a total dividend for the full year of 14.40p per
share, a full year increase of 8% on the prior year. The final dividend is payable on 9 June 2017 to

A.G.Barr p.l.c. Page 16

A.G.Barr p.l.c.
Company View

shareholders on the Register of Members at the close of business on 12 May 2017. The ex-dividend date
is 11 May 2017.

Share repurchase programme

Given the strength of the balance sheet and the cash generative nature of the business, the Board has
decided to return up to £30m to shareholders via an on-market share repurchase programme. This
programme is anticipated to commence in the spring of 2017 and complete within 24 months. The AGM
in May 2017 will be requested to approve the renewal of the authority granted in June 2016 for the Board
to repurchase up to 10% of the Company’s own shares. We do not believe that the repurchase
programme will have any material impact on our ability to secure acquisition opportunities should these
be identified.

People

The continued success of the business is testament to the commitment and skills of the whole team and I
would like to take this opportunity to extend a thank you to each and every team member for their efforts
across this year of change and reorganization. The Board continues to operate effectively, with a
complementary mix of skills and experience providing solid and effective governance controls. We will
continue to review how to enhance both the governance model and the advisory aspect of the Board.

Prospects

The business has achieved a great deal in the past year, building a strong platform for the future while
sustaining current financial performance. With great brands, an e�ective business model, a clear strategy
and a strong team in place to deliver it, the business remains well placed to develop further and realize its
long-term potential.
