Fever-Tree is the world's leading supplier of premium carbonated mixers for alcoholic spirits by retail sales value, with distribution to approximately 50 countries internationally.

Based in the UK, the brand was launched in 2005 by Charles Rolls and Tim Warrillow to provide high quality, natural mixers which could accompany the growing demand for premium spirits. The Group now sells a range of 12 differentiated flavours to hotels, restaurants, bars and cafes ("On Trade") as well as supermarkets and off-licenses for retail purchase ("Off Trade"). Approximately 70 per cent. of the Group's sales were derived from outside of the UK in FY13 with the key overseas markets being the US, Spain, and Belgium.

The Group's mixers are designed to be accompaniments for alcoholic spirits or used in cocktails, although they can also be consumed on their own. Since 2005, the Company has launched at least one new product a year, which includes 4 variants of tonic water, 2 variants of ginger beer, 3 variants of lemonade, and one variant each of ginger ale, soda water and cola.

Trading update



Fever-Tree, the world's leading supplier of premium carbonated mixers today announces its trading update for the year ended 31 December 2016.



The Board is pleased to announce that the strong growth achieved in the first half of the year accelerated in the second half of 2016. It is expected that sales in the second half will be ahead of the prior year period by 75%. As a result, full year revenue is expected to be circa £102.2 million, reflecting growth of 73% on 2015.



Sales in the UK performed exceptionally well in the second half of 2016 and full year revenue is expected to be circa 118% ahead of 2015. Sales performance has been strong in both the On-Trade and Off-Trade channels, with particularly notable growth achieved over the Christmas period against a very strong prior year comparator.



Sales in Continental Europe performed well in the second half of 2016, and it is anticipated that full year revenue will be circa 39% ahead of 2015.



In the USA, strong revenue growth also continued during the second half of 2016, and as a result, full year revenue for the territory is expected to be circa 55% ahead of 2015.



Rest of World sales growth accelerated in the second half of 2016 and full year revenue is expected to be circa 88% ahead of 2015.



Over the period, Fever-Tree's free cash flow generation and balance sheet have remained strong. Accordingly, the Group's year-end net cash position is anticipated to be ahead of Board expectations.



FY16 expectations



Following the Group's trading update on 7th November the sales in the final two months of the year, particularly in the UK, were stronger than anticipated and therefore the Board expects that the outcome for the full year will be materially ahead of its expectations.



Fever-Tree will announce its Preliminary Results on 21 March 2017.



Commenting on today's announcement, Tim Warrillow, Co-founder and CEO of Fever-Tree said:



"We are delighted with our performance in 2016. Fever-Tree continues to gain market share in both the on and off trade and while we have experienced strong growth across all regions, our performance in the UK has been particularly notable culminating in a very strong Christmas period.



Fever-Tree continues to pioneer and lead the premium mixer category. We believe the global opportunity remains in its early stages and will continue to be supported by the long term premiumisation of the spirits sector as well as the growing movement towards mixed and long drinks. As a result, the Board remain confident of the future outlook for the business

24 Jan Investec 1,300.00 Buy
24 Jan Shore Capital N/A Buy
24 Jan Whitman Howard 1,080.00 Hold

this has been a real humdinger, and though greed and hindsight says i should have kept my initial holding, i am very happy indeed with my profits both paper and realised

i cannot believe the company is still independent, and there must be several companies now ruing having sucked their teeth at the valuation 12 months ago and more

Like you have said before a profit is not there until you hit the sell button. The shelves always look full of FEVR mixers etc. The product must be flying of the shelves and re-stocked.

Fevertree Drinks upgraded again after 'outstanding' update


13:00 26 Jan 2017

If Fevertree can generate strong rate of sale growth or add more distribution points, this could lead to more upgrades.


20% sales growth at least this year suggests Berenberg


Fevertree Drinks PLC (LON:FEVR) has received a fifth upgrade in little over a year from German broker Berenberg, which sees little end in sight to the mixer drinks group’s ‘outstanding’ progress.

All of Fevertree’s overseas regions beat Bereneberg’s expectations, with the US achieving 55% growth, Europe 39% and the Rest of the World 88%.

“Following the company’s end-of-year trading update, our EPS estimates increase by 13%/11%/11% for 2016/17/18E respectively.

"Looking to this year, we forecast 20% sales growth, which our analysis suggests is almost entirely driven by the lapping effect of distribution gains made during 2016.

"Therefore, if Fevertree can generate strong rate of sale growth or add more distribution points, this could lead to upgrades."

Buy with a 1,325p target is Berenberg’s view.

Fevertree Drinks PLC (FEVR:LSE) set a new 52-week high during today's trading session when it reached 1,268.00. Over this period, the share price is up 88.72%.

this has certainly been a real whizz-bang for me, and though i have quite regularly sold some or even, at one point, all my holding, i now hold a reasonable stake which is up comfortably more than 100%

My holding is like the Grand Old Duke of York's men, neither up nor down, because I haven't any!😒 I have some Fevertree tonic water in the fridge however!😊

Probably gone up in value though Kim ..

Yes, I think I might just keep it there for a couple of years! :o)

Keep away and don't even touch that tonic water in the fridge. lol

I'll just look at it occasionally!:o)

Not stopping. When they were 200p never thought £10 would be reached . Will £20 now be reached ?

Kim's tonic water must be worth a fortune now .

just checked back, and the slice i sold on 9 jan was at 1108 ..... 3 weeks later, more than 200 higher
yippee!!

Going great guns, keep away kim lol. Takeover may just see £20. kim had better not launch his own tonic water brand. :-))
