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.

Market Cap fast approaching £2bn, (Market Capitalisation (£m) 1,891.10)

knowing big company mentality, one or another thought about it, then sent it to committee and then dithered some more and then thought, "oh dear! the cost has now rocketed; let's wait for it to reverse a bit" ..... and that would have been when sp was about 400 no doubt!

Agree. Would certainly not be happy if I was a Schweppes share holder.

the yanks (who own schweppes) will almost certainly be unaware that FEVR even exists .... but that does not apply to the likes of BVIC and DGE

btw, DGE is perhaps a decent investment in any case

They are in the states, but how bigger market share ?

I would think with a market share growing like it has been, that Schweppes are well aware. Otherwise the board of directors need to go before the firing squad. lol

Which given their gun laws should be quite a straight forward exercise to set up )-;

Lol.

Good luck to them, they have made investors a lot of money as well. :-))

Tim Warrillow, CEO of Fever-Tree said:

"We are delighted to report another strong performance in the first half of 2017, continuing the momentum seen in 2016. We achieved growth in all our regions, driven by further distribution gains and underlying rate of sales growth as the two key trends of premiumisation and mixability continue to gather pace globally.

"We continue to invest and improve our infrastructure, relationships with key suppliers and customers as well as adding to our senior team. The strength of our brand and first mover advantage means we are well positioned as the opportunity for premium mixers continues to gather momentum across our key markets."

Given the strong performance in the first half of the year, the Board anticipates that the outcome for the full year will be materially ahead of its expectations."
