Why is this positive?
TCC’s victory for the control of F&N marks a milestone in Thai Bev’s regional expansion of its non-alcoholic beverage business. Thai Bev is now gunning for the position of a leading regional beverage player. We anticipate some corporate restructuring by Mr Chaoren by way of depositing F&N’s F&B businesses in Thai Bev with TCC taking singular ownership of the property assets of F&N. A cleaner corporate structure should allow Thai Bev to reap the synergies of its F&B businesses. We suggest that Thai Bev could buy out F&N’s F&B business and fund this by selling back its 29% stake in F&N, to F&N. Thai Bev will then be a pure consumer company with no property exposure, while F&N will be left with just a property arm which suits TCC fine. If F&N chooses to buy back all of Thai Bev’s remaining stake, such a transaction could pare down Thai Bev’s net gearing (1.6x in 3Q12) to 1.1x |
