1 Lion Brewery (Ceylon) PLC Interim Condensed Financial Statements for the Second Quarter ended 30th September 2018

2 Review On a turnover of Rs bn, the Company has earned a pre tax profit of Rs bn. These results are in line with those of the first two quarters of the financial year 15/16 when operating conditions were similar. Tourist arrivals have continued to increase during the first half of the year. Latterly, there has also been a shift from hard to mild alcohols and very encouragingly from illicit to soft liquor. In the meanwhile, due to prudent management, the Company s net borrowings have seen a gradual reduction. These factors have helped the company deliver an improved performance during the 6 months under review. The Company is one of the largest tax payers in the Country and during the 6 months under review it increased its contribution to Government by 52%. Whilst the beer industry has significantly enhanced its contribution to Government coffers, it s unfortunate that serious revenue leakages continue unabated in the spirits category. There are 24 licensed manufacturers in the spirits segment, far too many for a market the size of Sri Lanka. With a few exceptions many of these manufacturers resort to tax evasion. In some instances, the net revenue (i.e. MRP less excise duty & trade margins) earned per unit is insufficient to cover variable costs, a clear indication of tax evasion. It s unfortunate that the regulator is turning a Nelsonian eye to these goings on since if it is brought under control, Government revenue is likely to increase very significantly. Recent press articles have highlighted the dangers of toddy consumption. Apparently, some brands of bottled toddy available in the market are said to contain free ammonia as NH3. In some instances, the content of free ammonia in the toddy is said to exceed the upper limit for drinking water by 12,000 times. If correct, the likely source of the free ammonia is fertilizer which when introduced into a fermenting liquid acts as a nutrient source to yeast. The relevant authorities & regulators need to act quickly to check on the veracity of these reports in order to safeguard consumer interests.
