FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY UPDATE │ SEPTEMBER 2015

WHAT WE’RE SEEING MARKET UPDATE M&A activity in the food and beverage sector maintained its strong momentum as strategic acquirers continued to pursue assets that provide access to ontrend and specialty food and beverage segments. The month of September built upon themes seen in prior months with better-for-you and organic products garnering interest from financial and strategic buyers alike. Over the past month, the market saw Flowers Foods bolster its natural and organic product offering with the acquisition of Alpine Valley Bread (following its acquisition of Dave’s Killer Bread in August), while Post acquired Willamette Egg Farms, a egg producer focused on sustainability and the humane treatment of animals, themes that are on trend and resonating with consumers.

FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY UPDATE │ SEPTEMBER 2015

WHAT WE’RE READING BIG BEER MERGER COULD MAKE WAVES ACROSS WIDER BEVERAGE SECTOR Rumors continue to swirl that Anheuser-Busch InBev is preparing a takeover bid for SABMiller PLC, in a deal that could be valued at $100 billion+. The potential transaction could have major implications outside of alcoholic beverages, with a combined company capable of acquiring a soft drink bottler as large as Pepsi or Coca-Cola. Such a move could catalyze further consolidation within the beverage industry, with the thesis of consolidating distribution, particularly in international markets. Access to the full article here. LIMITED TIME BEVERAGES SPICE THINGS UP FOR FOODSERVICE OPERATORS According to a study by The NPD Group, seasonal beverage offerings have proven successful in driving additional traffic and higher checks. NPD’s analysis of pumpkin spice latte purchases showed that of the sample size, 72% of purchasers bought the beverage only once, while 20% of purchasers bought the beverage twice. Average check among these purchasers was 17% higher at $7.81, as compared to $6.67 for non-purchasers. Pairing the specialty beverage with food items is the most likely driver of the check increase. Access to the full article here. APPLES ARE AMERICAN KIDS' FAVORITE FRUIT In a study conducted by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, data shows that apples and apple juice, the largest and third largest source of pediatric fruit intake, accounted for 19% and 10% of consumption, respectively. Citrus juice took the second spot at 14% of fruit intake. The study also found that whole fruits made up 53% of consumption, 100% fruit juices made up 34%, with the remainder comprised of mixed fruit products that are not 100% fruit.
