Seems you sugar-coating it.

Feb 15 (Reuters) - East African Breweries posted on Friday a 13 percent fall in pretax profit for the first half ended December, which the company said was due to a massive jump in financing costs

The company, which is controlled by Britain's Diageo , said profits fell to 5.80 billion shillings ($66.40 million). Revenues rose 10 percent during the six-month period to 30.63 billion shillings.

Financing costs rose 221 percent to 2.1 billion shillings after the company borrowed 19 billion shillings to buy a 20 percent stake in Kenya Breweries limited.

The financial costs spike for the 19B loan is worrisome with revenues up only 10%.

The market cap of EABL is supposedly to be substituted by KCB.
KCB is on track to be the most profitable company.Only Safaricom is remaining for it to be number 1.

Indeed that top line growth of 10% is significantly lower than in previous periods. Alcohol markets in the region are clearly going through a turbulent period given the tough legislation and the killer taxes.

On the dividend, I find it’s now official that EABL won’t dish out dividends like it has done before. The counter has entered an investment mode requiring huge money. They borrowed to purchase Serengeti Breweries in Tanzania and also constructed a new brewery in Moshi, mash filter in Uganda and a canning line in Kenya. New investments lined up include an additional spend of KES 4bn. ….

5 years ni mingi. Also notice the display of cash constraints on the upsurge in “short term bank borrowings” and “creditors – payables and accrued expenses”

@mwekez@ji 5 years is adequate.You have to give them room to make a profit and give dividends to shareholders even as they repay the loan.
Diageo would not want to strangle the company.
If the company got a green light to open a subsidiary in Ethiopia that would have been a gold mine market.

In terms of loan structure, this is the best deal EABL could get. The pricing is also fair at 364 days T Bill rate + 1.5% meaning its currently being charged at a low 13.17% (11.67% + 1.5%). ... what i was meaning by "5years ni mingi" is that 5 years is a long time wrestling the financing cost monster that have led to the disappointing results. Imagine 5 more years with this financing monster … i believe we are on the same page on this matter
