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.

Tim Warrillow, CEO of Fever-Tree said:

"The first half of 2018 has been one of major progress for Fever-Tree. The Group delivered a strong performance, most notably in the UK, as we continue to drive and lead the evolution of the wider mixer category. Furthermore, our relationships with key customers and spirits partners mean we are increasingly well positioned as the growing move to premiumisation and long mixed drinks continues to develop across the globe.

We have successfully launched our wholly owned US operations with a talented team recruited and now in place. The exclusive distribution agreement with SGWS, the largest North American wine and spirits distribution company, is a significant endorsement and provides a strong platform for Fever-Tree US in 2019 and beyond.

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

hohohoho!!!

as i posted yesterday on advfn at 13:56 ......
the continuing searing weather will have some sentimental effect on shares in companies like FEVR
in any case, having tucked away the profit from OCDO, i noted FEVR had dipped a little and was just touching 25 dma, so i have had a further small dabble at 3449


what a very lucky call that was

Well done Cynic, pour yourself a Blackwoods Vintage Dry gin with a Fevertree tonic!😃

I've sold my (belated) small holding @3905 - too small to turn down £7 a share profit - I'll look again at any weakness - good luck to those with decent size holdings.

Gap to close.

A paragraph from proactive investor - Schweppes used to be the byword for tonic, not anymore
Truth be told, they were too late to the party. The shift towards ‘premiumisation’ had already happened and Fevertree was the now go-to brand in the world of fancy mixers.
The company, which was only founded in 2005, is now the most popular mixer brand in UK supermarkets, accounting for almost half of all off-trade tonic sales.
Even in its latest interim results after several years of strong growth, Fevertree’s sales still jumped by 45% and it is targeting America next, where the estimated market size is several times that of the UK.
How the big boys must regret underestimating the competition and misreading consumer trends.
Moreover, Fevertree, which is now worth twice as much as Britvic, could’ve been taken out for a relative pittance only a couple of years ago. They must regret that even more.

A paragraph from the Mail today -


Britain's booming thirst for gin helps drinks maker Diageo boost profits and sales as the popularity of vodka falls
Sales of Tanqueray gin saw 'double-digit' growth across Britain in the last year
Meanwhile, sales of Smirnoff vodka fell by 2 per cent, the company said
Company's investors can take part in £2billion worth of share buybacks

Gin-loving Britons have helped drinks giant Diageo boost its sales and profits, new figures released by the company show.
The British drinks giant, whose brands include Guinness and Smirnoff, saw UK sales of its drinks rise 8 per cent in the year to June, with its Tanqueray gin brand drawing in 'double-digit' growth.

1 gap closed.

sp looks to be bang on 25 dma and confess i am tempted to buy a few more at this level

I'm surprised that they are down again - especially given the copious coverage in the press both Saturday and Sunday - perhaps all the current good news is now in the price.

just market malaise and general jitters i expect, and some chunky profits remaining to be banked
