European Beverages
Q3 21 preview compendium: Sub-sector performance
and valuation differentials in focus
While we acknowledge the significant valuation gap with Spirits on 27.5x 2022 European Consumer Goods and
P/E vs Beer on 19.6x and Soft Drinks on 19.8x, we do not see Q3 reporting itself Beverages
to be a catalyst for this overall gap to close (ex-technical factors) given trading Celine Pannuti, CFA AC
differentials. On one side we expect the spirit sub-sector to continue to exhibit (44-20) 7134-7123
strong growth (JPMe +14.8%) and positive demand momentum. On the other side celine.pannuti@jpmorgan.com
we caution on earnings downside in Beer/Soft Drinks on FY21 and FY22 in the Bloomberg JPMA PANNUTI <GO>
face of substantial RM and distribution costs and weakening top line momentum Fintan Ryan AC

(Global Beverages - Brewing Disruption). Ines Lo Franco
(44-207) 1347-360
 Top-line drivers: For Q3, we expect +6.0% organic sales growth ines.lofranco@jpmorgan.com
(Beer/Spirits/Soft Drinks +3.3%/+14.8%/+4.1%) or 6% above Q3 2019 levels J.P. Morgan Securities plc
(+4%/+14%/+2%). Overall, we expect DMs organic sales to increase by +2.3%
(+1% vs Q319) vs +18.7% in Q2 (-3% vs Q2 19) as Europe re-opening comes
through (despite some weather-related softness). EMs are strong (+7.1%, +8%
vs Q319 compared to +33% in Q2, +6% vs Q219), led by Africa/Middle East
lapping an easy base of comparison and strong demand in the LatAm region
though held back by Asia-Pacific on SE Asia renewed COVID-19 restrictions
and softness in China beer demand. While channel mix is likely to be a tailwind,
we expect little sequential pricing in Q321 (outside of some EMs such as
Brazil), raising questions on quantum and speed of pricing into FY22 (where
RM inflation should see a steep acceleration), with most pricing actions more
likely to come in Q4/Q1.
 Company preference: At this point in the cycle and in the context of
commodity inflation, rising bond yields, and preference for cyclicals, we would
approach the sector with a preference for those names that have underperformed
already while still being recovery beneficiaries and/or have cost saving offsets to
fall back on (eg. Heineken (OW), CCEP (OW), Britvic (OW)) and those that
offer better protection to rising raw material costs thanks to a more favorable
pricing/demand environment (eg. Pernod Ricard (OW), Campari (OW)).
 FY21/22 outlook: For FY21, we model aggregate organic EBIT of +23.2%
(Beer/Spirits/Soft Drinks +17.4%/+43%/+19.5%) with adj EPS of +28.4%
(Beer/Spirits/Soft Drinks of +26.6%/+33.8%/+28.2%). Looking into FY22 while
acknowledging the external environment (including pricing), we model +9.2%
organic EBIT (+8.4%/+12%/+8.6%) and +13.4% adj EPS growth
(+15%/+12.6%/+10%).
 Input cost inflation to worsen: As seen in our JPM Commodity tracker, rising
raw material costs will be a dominant headwind for the Beverages sector into
H2/FY22, with FY22 cost inflation shaping up as worse than FY21 across the
board (~5%/26% for FY21/FY22). Since June, the Beer and Soft Drinks names
have witnessed the most pronounced inflation acceleration (which has weighed
on sentiment and estimates), while Spirits names should be better protected
mainly thanks to a better ability to put through price increases.

Navigating the Q3 21 Earnings Season


The gap between sentiment and valuation in the Beverages sector has rarely been as
distinct as during Q3 where Spirits was +4% vs Beer -15% and Soft Drinks -8%, as
the summer “re-opening” wave tailed off and based on differentiating options on the
ability to manage near-record raw material inflation into 2022. While we
acknowledge the significant valuation gap with Spirits on 27.3x 2022 P/E vs Beer on
19.2x and Soft Drinks on 19.7x, we don't see Q3 reporting itself to be a catalyst for
this overall gap to close given trading differentials (JPMe organic sales growth
Beer/Spirits/Soft Drinks +3.3%/+14.8%/+4.1%) and likely cautious Beer/Soft Drink
management commentary and consensus estimate headwinds.
We highlight stocks where we believe 2022 concerns are overdone/priced in,
Overweights – Heineken, Britvic and CCEP – or where we see the strongest top-line
momentum with earnings upside in 2022 – Campari and Pernod Ricard. We remain
cautious on Anheuser-Busch InBev. We note upcoming potential catalysts from
investor updates/capital markets days for Diageo (15-16 November) and ABI (6
December) which could offer more certainty on the 2022/MT sector outlooks.
Q3 2021 reporting highlights
 We forecast average Q3 organic growth for Beer/Spirits/Soft Drinks of
+3.3%, +14.8%, +4.1% with differentiated company performance (from -
1% to +21.6%) depending on different comps and country/channel
exposure.
 Regionally, we expect DMs organic sales to increase by +2.3% vs +18.7%
in Q2, and emerging markets organic sales to +7.1% vs +33.1% in Q2.
EMs led by Africa/ME at +11.9% lapping easier comps (-6.8% in Q3 20)
and strong momentum in Latam (+8.4% vs Q319).
 We see EBIT margins -130bps in H221E vs -135bps in H220 with
headwinds from A&P reinvestments as well a geographic mix (eg SE Asia)
and incrementally rising raw material costs for EM Beer/Soft Drinks in H2
– though these will be more significant for profitability going into FY22.
Top picks & avoids into & beyond Q3 21 reporting
Prefer recovery beneficiaries and/or protection against inflationary pressures
We prefer Heineken (OW) and CCEP (OW) for Europe recovery building with on-
trade reopening; Pernod (OW) and Campari (OW) for positive consumption
momentum in spirits and better ability to take pricing; and Britvic (OW) for UK
exposure and valuation discount.
Full valuation/ increasing raw materials headwinds
Diageo (N), CCH (N), Remy Cointreau (N), Carlsberg (N), Royal Unibrew (N).
Heightened margin pressures and unfavorable FY22 outlook
We take a more cautious view on ABI (UW), as we see increasing earnings risks and
while the company is facing higher RM costs in FY22, tough comps ahead and
technical overhangs (Altria 10% stake). We also point out to continued pressure on
returns from inroads in Beyond Beer (with mixed success - Global Beverages -
Brewing Disruption). We see further margin downside at Fevertree (UW) with raw
material and logistics headwinds potentially adding to its recent margin woes with
little signs of the company taking pricing to offset the pressures.

Q3 previews – top picks & avoids into Q421/2022


With a worsening raw materials environment, we prefer names with clearer earnings
visibility, a better ability to offset margin pressure and stronger top-line momentum.
This drives our preference for Heineken (OW), CCEP (OW), Campari (OW), Pernod
Ricard (OW) and Britvic (OW). On the other hand, we caution on ABI (UW),
Carlsberg (N) and CCH (N), given a sharper input costs inflation risk which could
still weigh on 2022 consensus. We see further margin downside at Fevertree (UW)
with raw material and logistics headwinds potentially adding to its recent margin
woes with little signs of the company taking pricing to offset the pressures.

Positive forecast momentum and/or attractive valuations


Pernod Ricard (OW; PR): Q1 FY22 sales - 21 October. We expect a more
favorable pricing environment and a strong start to the year with Q122 LFL +16.7%.
We expect the phasing of FY22 delivery to be H1-weighted (+13.4%/+13.2% H1
organic sales/EBIT vs +8.8%/+8.9% in H2) driven primarily by easier comps during
the first half. We now forecast FY22E +11.4%/+11.7% organic sales/EBIT driven by
a strong underlying momentum in China (+11% OSG), continued positive sell-out
trends in the US (+7%) and recovery in India (+18%). The strong top-line
momentum along with a +1.1% FX tailwind support the +15.6% FY22E EPS growth
to €7.12, and we forecast +12.0% growth in FY23E to €7.98. Pernod shares now
trade on 26x 2022 P/E and 18.6x 2022 EV/EBITDA versus EU Spirits on 27.5x and
18.9x, respectively. We are encouraged by PR’s organic sales growth momentum
driving margin expansion in the medium-term, as well as its compelling valuation
(c.-9% discount) compared to peers. Overweight. Q1 FY22 preview: Strong top-line
momentum in Q1, FY22E EPS increases by 1.5%

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (OW; CCEP): Q3 2021 sales - 9 November. For


Q3, we forecast comparable FX-neutral sales +20.6% to €3,880m or -1% on a pro-
forma basis. We keep our FY estimates broadly unchanged with +26.5% comparable
FX-neutral sales growth (vs +26-28% guidance), +42% comparable EBIT growth to
€1,711m (vs +40-44% guidance), and €2.75 adj EPS, pro forma this comes out at
+6.6% organic sales, +20% organic EBIT to €1,822m, and €2.90 adj EPS. Despite
some support from API M&A synergies and Europe re-opening momentum tailwinds
(Reviving the Sparkle), CCEP has underperformed in the last month, similar to other
Beer/Soft Drinks stocks on fears for raw material pressures into 2022 which in this
case are likely to be overdone (H1 2021 call feedback). On our forecasts, CCEP
trades on just 15x 2022e P/E and 11.7x EV/EBITDA, significantly below the sector
on 22.8x/14.9x, respectively. Overweight. Q3 2021 preview: Tough Q likely but FY
outlook remains robust

Heineken (OW; HEIA): Q3 2021 trading statement - 27 October. Following


sequential volume improvement during H1 (incl. +19% in Q2), we expect renewed
beer volume declines in Q3 driven by COVID-19 related lockdowns in Southeast
Asia. We model organic beer volume -4.3% (on a -1.9% comp) with Asia Pacific the
main drag at -39%. The resulting operational de-leverage from the Asia Pacific
volume weakness (-23% H2) along with recent management commentary on raw
material inflation (as well as accelerating cost inflation) leads us to take a more
cautious stance on FY21 and H122 margin recovery. Consequently we reduce our
FY21e/22e EPS by 6%/2% as we re-phase the margin recovery towards H222 and
FY23. FY23e EPS comes down by 0.8% due to FX and we continue to model 17.1%
FY23e adj. EBIT margin. While short-term volatility is likely (e.g. current
Vietnam/South East Asia COVID-19 restrictions) and phasing of savings vs
reinvestments (e.g. A&P) is uncertain, we remain confident of HEIA returning to

sector-leading organic sales growth and double-digit EPS growth over the MT, and
believe Heineken is best placed amongst Beer peers to offset rising input cost
inflation through price/mix and cost savings. ST pandemic headwinds in APAC,
confidence in MT growth remains

Campari (OW; CPR): Q3 2021 results - 26 October. Despite tougher comps, for
Q3 2021 we forecast +7.6% organic sales growth to €545m, +12.9% organic EBIT
growth to €132m and +14.5% adj PBT growth to €125m. By region, we forecast
Americas strongest at +10.5% led by strong underlying demand and some re-
stocking in the US (+12.5%). While underlying demand in Europe and channel mix
should get a tailwind from on-trade re-opening, very strong comps and softer weather
in northern Europe is likely to hold back Northern, Central & Eastern Europe
(NCEE, +7.7% organic) and Southern Europe, Middle East & Africa (SEMEA,
+4.6% with Italy -4%). Renewed COVID-19 lockdowns in Australia/New Zealand is
likely to be a headwind to Asia Pacific where we expect -5% decline in Australia but
+4.8% organic growth for the division, boosted by new China wholesaler ramp-up
(with potential for upside surprise on re-stocking). Margin-wise we model organic
gross margin +95bp to 61.0% with +115bp organic EBIT margin to 24.2% as SG&A
is a -25bp headwind yoy offset by a 45bp A&P tailwind. Orange Fever: MT
outperformance drivers; 3%/5% upgrades to 2021/22E

Britvic (OW; BVIC): FY21 results – 24 November. We are now looking for
+15.5% organic sales and +34% organic EBIT growth for H2 FY21 and +7% and
17.5% for FY22, respectively. While we bring our EPS estimates down by c2%
reflecting likely building input and logistics cost pressures, we note the
underperformance of the shares in the last month (-7% vs European Beverage sector
flat), seemingly largely pricing these headwinds in already. On our forecasts, BVIC
trades on just 15.8x calendar 2022e P/E and 11.1x EV/EBITDA, a c30% P/E
discount to European Beverages on 23x and 15.0x, respectively. While not immune
to external pressures (e.g. UK supply chain disruption broadly), we are reassured that
the business is more resilient than historically driven by its FY16-19 business
transformation investments (along with an attractive FCF/de-leverage profile),
support from continued on-trade/out-of-home recovery and still encouraging off-
trade market share momentum (Nielsen Europe). Overweight. FY21 preview: Still
set to deliver earnings inflection despite external cost worries

Full valuation and/or worsening earnings visibility


Carlsberg (N; CARLB): Q3 2021 sales – 28 October. For Q3, we forecast +5.3%
organic sales growth to DKK19.0bn with +2.1% organic volume growth to 41.0m
HL. We expect the DKK1bn quarterly share buyback to be maintained. We leave our
2021 estimates broadly unchanged (+12% organic EBIT to DKK10,793m vs Q2
company guidance +8-11% with upgrade potential; adj EPS +8.4% yoy to DKK47.2)
but our outer year forecasts increase by c1%, mainly due to FX (2022: +7% organic
EBIT, +11% adj EPS). Valuation is unchallenging on 20.8x 2022e P/E and 12.3x
EV/EBITDA vs the sector on 23x and 15x, respectively. We see few catalysts for the
shares to outperform until the impact of CARLB’s potential price increases come
through and/or the market gets reassured on the outlook for input cost mitigation and
future margin dynamics. Neutral. Q3 21 preview: Solid Q3 likely but further 2022
colour required

Remy Cointreau (N; RCO): Q2 FY22 sales - 22 October. For Q2, we forecast
+21.6% organic sales to €345m (+22.8% reported) with strong contributions from both
Remy Martin Cognac (+24% organic) and Liquers & Spirits (L&S +17.6%). We
increase our EPS estimates by c5% reflecting favourable trading momentum and more

benign FX (c2%; mainly USD). For FY22, we now expect +25% organic sales growth
to €1,269m (H1: +51.6%), +23.7% organic EBIT to €278m (H1: +49% to €150m) and
+19% adj EPS to €3.53 (H1: +43% to €1.86). On our forecasts, RCO trades on 43.6x
calendar 2022e P/E and 26x EV/EBITDA, a c90% premium to European Beverages on
23.2x and 15.1x, respectively, but in line with its historical 50% premium to
International Spirits on 29.2x and 19.9x. Though elevated, this premium is supported
by positive earnings momentum from re-openings and key end-market demand.
Neutral. Q2 FY22 preview: US and China continue to drive earnings momentum with
c5% EPS upgrades

Royal Unibrew (N; RBREW): Q3 2021 – 17 November. Based on likely strong


summer trading across Europe (particularly Denmark), for Q3, we model +4.5%
organic sales growth to DKK2,334m, +3% adj EBIT growth to DKK620m, and +8%
adj EPS growth to DKK10.2. At this point, we keep our FY estimates broadly
unchanged (adj EBIT DKK1,692m) with still uncertainty on price/mix and raw
material management into 2022 (JPM Commodity tracker September update), albeit
we see potential for RBREW to at least update the bottom end of the FY21
DKK1,625-1,700m EBIT guidance range. While RBREW is not cheap trading on
27.6x 2022e P/E and 19x EV/EBITDA (vs the sector on 22.6x and 14.8x,
respectively), we believe the premium can be justified by the strong execution in the
last 18 months and the meaningful MT M&A potential ‒ see Northern Lights (and
laggards) - Nordic markets and consolidation in focus. Q3 2021 preview: Favourable
ST momentum, still questions on 2022 outlook

CCH (N; CCH): Q3 2021 sales - 3 November. Based on continued re-opening


momentum and tourist demand across Europe, along with strong momentum in
Russia and Nigeria, for Q3 we model 8.7% organic volume growth to 667m unit
cases and +14.3% LFL sales (including Poland soft-drinks taxes) to €2,067m (+13%
reported). We increase our 2021E EPS by 0.6% with 24% growth to €1.47, reflecting
the top-line momentum, and by 2% for 2022E with 9% growth to €1.60 (including a
c1% FX tailwind), albeit with a high degree of uncertainty still on the 2022 outlook,
given volatile and inflationary raw materials. On our new forecasts, CCH trades on
18.5x 2022E P/E and 10.2x EV/EBITDA, a discount vs the sector on 22.8x/14.9x
respectively. Q3 2021 preview: Reopening tailwinds to persist, still uncertainty on
raw materials vs pricing in 2022.

Elevated earnings risks on significant raw materials headwinds


ABI (UW): Q3 2021 results – Thursday, 28 October. We cut our FY21E/22E EPS
by 3%/5% due to accelerating input cost inflation (FY22e COGS/hl +9% vs +8%
prior) and recent FX headwinds, and we now sit 12% below Bloomberg consensus
EPS in 2022. For Q3 we forecast organic sales growth of +3.8% (volume -0.5% and
price/mix +4.3%), -4.1% organic EBITDA (margin -290bps) and underlying adj. EPS
+6.8% to $0.86. For FY21e we now model +13.1% organic sales and +8.4% organic
EBITDA (margin -150bps), at the bottom end of the current 8-12% EBITDA
guidance range. For FY22e we forecast +6.8% organic sales (volume +1.1% and
price/mix +5.7%) and +3.9% organic EBITDA (margin -100bps). On our new
forecasts, ABI trades on 18.2x P/E 22e and 11.3x EV/EBITDA 22e, only a slight
discount to Beer peers on 19.6x and 11.6x despite ABI’s inferior earnings growth
outlook and greater risk profile. Underweight. Q3 2021 preview: Top line slowing,
margin pressure building.

Top-Line: Q3 momentum to ease, with focus on pricing


Overall: Top-line growth should moderate sequentially against tougher bases of
comparison, as we forecast +6.0% for Q3 (+3.3%/+14.8%/+4.1% for
Beer/Spirits/Soft Drinks) vs Q2 at +29.8% (+25.1%/+47.9%/+29% for
Beer/Spirits/Soft Drinks). Compared to 2019, in aggregate we see Beverages sector
organic sales +6%, with Beer +4%, Spirits +14% and Soft Drinks +2%, with
tailwinds from strong demand in the US and EM reopening.

Pricing should pick up further into H2, but to remain below the M-HSD% we believe
is needed to offset the pressures to Gross Profit from raw materials inflation
(~+5%/+26% inflation in aggregate for 2021/22E), adding further weight to FY21E
and FY22E margin downside. For Q3, we model +4.3% and +1.3% price/mix for the
Beer and Soft Drinks names respectively, a substantial part of which will likely relate
to channel/product mix, rather than absolute pricing increases (particularly outside of
EMs).

Regional color
DMs: Developed markets growth of +2.3% (+0.4% vs Q3 19) is led by Western
Europe +4.4% (-0.4%), as the reopening of the on-trade and easing of restrictions
fuel demand. In North America, organic sales growth are up +2.6% yoy, even
lapping tougher comps (Q3 20 +6.1%) which highlights a strong underlying demand
for alcohol, as seen in recent data (US NABCA).

EMs: The environment in several EMs still remains challenging, in particular in


APAC where several countries in southeast Asia are still facing on-trade restrictions
and lockdowns (eg Vietnam), although demand in LatAm remains buoyant. Across
emerging markets, we see +7.1% OSG in Q3, led by Africa/Middle East at +11.9%,
followed by LatAm at +9.8%, Eastern Europe at +9.3% and APAC at +2.4%.

Company dynamics
 Beer: For Q3, we expect top-line to slow down sequentially at +3.3% vs Q2 at
+25.1%, with ABI at +3.8% organic sales growth (vs +27.6% in Q2), Heineken at
+1.3% (+25.2%), Carlsberg at +5.3% (+14.3%) and Royal Unibrew at +4.5%
(+16.2%), as bases of comparison become more difficult.
 Spirits: With the US market still flourishing and a strong momentum in China,
Spirits should see +14.8% organic sales growth in Q3, led by Remy Cointreau at
+21.6% (+17% vs Q3 19), followed by Pernod Ricard at +16.7% (+10%), Diageo
at +14.1% (+15%) and Campari at +7.6% (+21%).
 Soft Drinks: Overall, we expect good top-line momentum in Q3, albeit with a
mixed 2-year progression – yoy we see growth led by CCH at +11.9% (+12% vs
Q3 19), followed by Fevertree at +11.6% (+10%), Britvic at +9.3% (-3%), Royal
Unibrew at +4.5% (+11%) while CCEP lags behind at -1% (-4%).

Mixed margins dynamics


Raw materials to weigh on H2 EBIT margin trajectory
Overall we expect significant margin pressures in H221E (-130bp yoy), driven by a
deterioration of Gross Margins, especially in Beer as hedges on commodity buying
roll off and inflation/SG&A reinvestments hits the P&L. We expect the greatest level
of EBIT hit yoy within the Beer names (-214bp vs +330bp in H121) driven by ABI
and Heineken at -279bp and -161bp respectively in H2. Margin progression is likely
to be muted for the Soft Drinks names too (-43bp vs +350bp in H121), with
Fevertree (-252bp) weakest due to a ramp up of logistic and input costs. Meanwhile,
Spirits names should benefit from a strong underlying demand in the US and China
and confidence in taking pricing should drive a margin expansion of +18bp in
H221E.

RM inflation seeing further acceleration (JPM Commodity tracker September


update: Inflation continues to move higher, adding pressures on FY22 earnings) - As
we approach 2022, we note higher inflation expectations for the Beverages sector, with
JPMe +5% and +26% commodity inflation in 2021E and 2022E, respectively. We
expect Beer and Soft Drinks names to be more severely impacted due to a ramp up in
plastics input costs and grains (wheat/barley), while Spirits name should be in a better
position to take pricing in order to offset the raw material headwinds.
We see ABI (UW) as most at risk, and caution on for Carlsberg (N) and Royal
Unibrew (N) due to potential consensus forecasts pressures, though Heineken (OW)
should at least have better visibility on offsets through project EverGreen cost savings
(€2bn vs 2019 base by 2023 with c€1bn run-rate delivery by the end of 2021).
Meanwhile, Spirits names Campari (OW), Pernod Ricard (OW), Remy Cointreau (N)
and Diageo (N) should offer relative protection from commodity inflation headwinds
with commentary thus far being constructive supported by robust underlying demand
and confidence in pricing (albeit with some incremental pressures from logistics and
glass/packaging costs). In Soft Drinks, Fevertree (UW) has again warned on gross
margins due to pressures from logistics and input costs (here) while for Britvic (OW),
CCEP (OW) and CCH (N), we note similar high-level pressures, albeit with
commodity costs being a smaller part of the COGS mix (as confirmed at the recent
CCEP update - here).

Earnings: clear divergence in EPS momentum


With adj EPS -13.6% in H220 (Beer/Spirits/Soft Drinks -16.9%/-9.6%/-7.1%), we
expect Spirits and Soft Drinks to recover yoy in H2 21E at +15.6% and +22.2%
respectively, while Beer decelerates at -2.8% skewed by ABI at -8.7% yoy with
accelerated input cost inflation and FX headwinds. For FY21E, we expect positive
EPS momentum (+28.4% yoy) as the sector recovers from pandemic-related
disruptions (-30.1% in FY20).

Valuation divergence at the highs


Wide dispersions remain despite near all-time highs: 2021 has been another year
of divergent performances within European Beverages with the sector as a whole
+6% ytd (2020: -10%), again lagging MSCI Europe +17% (-7%) and MSCI Staples
+6% (-8%). Within this, the underperformance has been driven by the Brewers -8%
(2020: -15%) dragged lower by ABI specifically with robust absolute performance
across Soft Drinks +13% (-11%) and with strength in Spirits +25% (-8%), near all-
time highs. With Beer underperformance accelerating in the last 8 weeks (Q3
performance: Spirits +4% vs Beer -15% and Soft Drinks -8%) on building raw
material fears as the re-opening “relief rally” has worn off, on a consensus basis, the
Beer sector is now trading at just a 15% P/E premium to the wider EU market, just
off the lows and well below its historical average 35% premium – in contrast the
Spirits sector trades at a near-record 75% premium to the market vs its average 45%
premium, a near-record gap vs Beer.

Stock selection remains key: On our forecasts, the Beverages sector as a whole
trades on a full 23.2x 2022 P/E and 15.1 EV/EBITDA. Similar to the dispersion seen
in the last 12 months, Spirits on 27.5x/18.8x lead the sector overall and ahead of
Beer (19.6x/11.6x) and Soft Drinks (19.8x/14.4x). Divergence within our coverage
remain elevated, with Fevertree (54.2x calendar P/E) and Remy Cointreau (43.6x)
leading the way, while on the contrary, CCEP at 14.6x and Britvic at 15.8x still lag
the sector, albeit with still lingering uncertainty on margins and earnings within
Beer/Soft Drinks into 2022, while for now Spirits remains supported by apparently
buoyant demand in the US and China in particular.

The chart(s) show J.P. Morgan's continuing coverage of the stocks; the current analysts may or may not have covered it over the entire
period.
J.P. Morgan ratings or designations: OW = Overweight, N= Neutral, UW = Underweight, NR = Not Rated
Explanation of Equity Research Ratings, Designations and Analyst(s) Coverage Universe:
J.P. Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform the
average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelve
months, we expect this stock will perform in line with the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s)
coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will underperform the average total return of
the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if
applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy
reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a
recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-Australia and ex-India) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stock’s expected
total return is compared to the expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts’ coverage universe. If it
does not appear in the Important Disclosures section of this report, the certifying analyst’s coverage universe can be found on J.P.
Morgan’s research website, www.jpmorganmarkets.com.
