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.

bear bums bitten badly - hohoho!
fy trading forecast materially ahead of expectations

Shore Capital comment:
"We are upgrading our forecasts which are already ahead of consensus going into today’s statement. FY2017F revenue will increase to £158m from £154m but the leverage impact through the income statement is strong with PBT increasing to £53.3m from £50.5m. This equates to an increase in EPS of 6% to 37.4p from 35.4p.

In terms of valuation this puts Fevertree on a FY2017F PER of 51.5x with an EV/EBITDA ratio of 42.2x and a 0.6% yield. We believe the valuation remains full although we expect the share to gain back some of the recent lost ground. The key point for us looking forward now is assessing the strength of momentum alongside the leverage potential with today’s upgrade achieved with a lower level of market spend than expected. This could suggest stronger profitability than is currently suggested in consensus expectations ahead of the delivery of strong than expected revenue growth. For now we retain our HOLD recommendation."

Trading Update
 
 
Fever-Tree, the world's leading supplier of premium carbonated mixers, today announces a trading update ahead of the year ending 31 December 2017.
 
The Board is pleased to announce that the strong growth seen in the first six months of 2017 has continued during the second half.  Fever-Tree's pioneering focus on taste and ingredients continues to transform the global mixer category driving growth across all the Group's regions. The exceptional performance in the UK, the Group's largest market, has been particularly impressive with the rate of sales growth and momentum strong across both the on and off trade. The mixer category is now the fastest growing category across the UK soft drinks sector with Fever-Tree responsible for 97% of the value growth in retail over the last 12 months.
 
Given the strong performance in the period to date, the Board anticipates that the results for the full year ending 31 December 2017 will be materially ahead of current market expectations

North America Update
 
Fever-Tree, the world's leading supplier of premium carbonated mixers, is pleased to announce the establishment of a North American office and the appointment of Charles Gibb as the Group's North American CEO.
 
Since Fever-Tree first entered the North American market 10 years ago, its pioneering approach to taste and quality of ingredients has seen the Group become the number one premium mixer brand in the US. Today's announcement is the next step forward, signalling Fever-Tree's commitment to and focus on the North American market. The US premium mixer sector continues to represent a significant opportunity for the Group given the existence of the same trends of premiumisation, authenticity and mixability that have been driving the success of Fever-Tree globally.
 
As part of this transition and reflecting the Group's increased ambition in the US, Fever-Tree has given notice to Brands of Britain ("BoB"), its US agent. The Group will continue to work closely with BoB over the next six months with formal handover to be completed during the second quarter of 2018 after which time Fever-Tree will directly manage the current distribution network.
 
Charles Gibb joined Fever-Tree as Global Strategy Director in August 2017 and in his newly created role, will lead the Group's operations across North America.
 
Charles is a highly experienced, international executive with an exceptional track record gained over 25 years of operating at senior executive levels at Moët Hennessy, Diageo and Bacardi across a broad range of global markets. For the past nine years, Charles served as President and CEO of Belvedere Vodka, a division of the LVMH Group where he was responsible for the Brand's substantial global expansion.
 
Tim Warrillow, CEO of Fever-Tree, comments; "Firstly I would very much like to thank Brands of Britain for their hard work and contribution to Fever-Tree's success in the US.  We have enjoyed working with their team over this period and wish them well for the future.
 
"The North American premium mixer market is still at a relatively early stage but the trend towards spirits premiumisation and the increasing focus on simple long drink mixability is accelerating and represents a significant opportunity for Fever-Tree, as the pioneer of the premium mixers segment.
 
"I am delighted that Charles Gibb has agreed to lead our operations in the region. He brings substantial international experience, a broad range of strategic and commercial skills as well as a proven track record of growing brands to significant scale. I look forward to working closely with him as we build the team and infrastructure in North America."

market is disinterested

Alcohol sales looking well up for Christmas, with consumers not giving up on their tipple. Bodes well for FEVR. Looks like super markets are shifting plenty of booze.

From the sains, morr, tes, write up -


“Alcohol sales are up by nearly £172mln compared to this time last year and while volume sales have increased, this impressive growth is mainly a result of consumers choosing more expensive festive tipples," said Fraser McKevit, head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar.
“Gin, whisky and sparkling wine all saw significant growth: up by 26%, 10% and 7% respectively as shoppers pushed the boat out.”
