1.0 FY 2014 Performance Analysis:
The audited Financial Year (FY) 2014 result for Nestlé Nigeria Plc (Nestlé) for the
period ended December 31, 2014 shows that its Turnover (T/O) increased by 7.70% to
N143.33bn, compared with N133.08bn recorded in the corresponding period of 2013.
The cost of sales also increased by 7.60% to N82.10bn from N76.30bn recorded in FY
2013. The cost of sales as a percentage of Turnover fell marginally to 57.28% from
57.33% as at FY 2013. The administrative, selling and distribution expenses increased
by 10.63% to N32.03bn. These expenses as a percentage of turnover increased to
22.35% in FY 2014 from 21.76% in FY 2013.
The investment income stood at N551.59mn as at FY 2014, representing an increase of
52.67%, compared with N361.31mn recorded in the corresponding period. The
company also recorded a significant increase of 147.16% in its finance cost of N5.31bn
from N2.15bn in 2013. This increase in finance costs was largely due to a substantial
rise in the net foreign exchange loss, which stood at N3.04bn in FY 2014 from
N609.07mn in FY 2013.
The Profit Before Tax (PBT) fell to N24.45bn, a decrease of 6.15% from N26.05bn
recorded in the corresponding period of 2013. This is a reflection of the challenges the
company is facing with regards to stiff competition in the industry and increased finance
costs. The tax provision also decreased by 41.67% to N2.21bn from N3.79bn, the
decrease in the tax provision was due to the recognition of previously unrecognised tax
credits and the origination and reversal of temporary differences resulting in a deduction
of N815.76mn from the current tax expense leading to a Profit After Tax (PAT) of
N22.24bn in FY 2014 from N22.26bn in the corresponding period of 2013, representing
a marginal decrease of 0.10%.

1.1 Q1 2015 Performance Analysis:
As at Q1 2015, turnover (T/O) decreased by 17.56% to N27.56bn, compared with
N33.43bn recorded in the corresponding period of 2014. The administrative, selling and
distribution expenses increased by 25.61% to N1.88bn. The company also recorded a
significant increase of 167.54% in its finance cost of N2.34bn from N873mn in 2014.
The Profit Before Tax (PBT) fell to N3.49bn, a decrease of 50.69% from N7.07bn
recorded in the corresponding period of 2014. The tax provision also decreased by
50.08% to N533mn from N1.07bn, leading to a Profit After Tax (PAT) of N2.95bn in Q1
2015 from N6bn in the corresponding period of 2014, representing a decrease of
50.80%.
The PBT Margin decreased over the Q1 2014, and the Financial Year ended December

Q1 2014, and from 17.06% as at the end of FY 2014. Also, the PAT margin currently
stands at 10.72%, down from 17.96% in the corresponding period of 2014, and also
down from 15.51% as at FY 2014. The result also indicates that the percentage of T/O,
PBT, and PAT in the Q1 2015 to the Audited T/O, PBT and PAT for the period ended
December 2014 are: 19.23%, 14.26% and 13.29%, respectively. Given the run rate, the
company would need to remain focused on marketing development to meet its previous
year’s performance. We however note the low business activities in Q1 2015 as a result
of the security challenges in the country and the general elections.

2.0 Drivers of Performance and Strategic Focus:
Nestlé’s performance during the period was driven by the following factors:
Diversified product portfolio which are essential for healthy living.
Its backward integration strategy to secure raw materials locally by partnering
with farmers to provide quality raw materials.
Investments in plants upgrade to produce products more efficiently.
The Naira devaluation.
The security challenges in the country and the general elections in 2015.
However, the company’s increased finance costs especially the exposure to foreign
exchange adversely affected profit in FY 2014 and Q1 2015. In FY 2014, Nestlé’s
foreign exchange exposure was estimated at N63.24bn with imported raw materials of
N41.10bn dominating the foreign exposure. In Q1 2015, finance costs rose by 167.54%
to N2.34bn from N872.90mn in Q1 2014.
The Naira devaluation had an
adverse impact on the foreign debt
of the company.

2.1 Strategic Focus:
Nestlé’s priorities remain unchanged from its standard corporate business principles. In
respect to its brand and product, the company’s focus is to ensure its brands and
products undergo continuous innovation. Also, Nestlé seeks to ensure that its products
are available wherever, whenever and however the customer wants them.
A key part of Nestlé’s business principles is its commitment to environmentally sound
business practices that will benefit the communities it operates in. Consequently, to
further reduce its environmental footprint and ensure efficient use of energy for
manufacturing operation, Nestlé has built a Tri-Generation power plant at its Agbara
factory. The plant generates power, while chilled and hot water are generated using
heat from the power plant exhaust gases. This enables the company to increase overall
energy efficiency from 42% to 74% and to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 5,000
tonnes per year. Also, in 2014 Nestlé laid the foundation for its ultra-modern N4.8bn
Nestlé Waters factory in Abaji near Abuja. This facility is key to the growth of Nestlé’s
water operation in Nigeria. The Company chose the rural location for the factory with
the aim of contributing to the rural development by providing local employment and
purchasing directly from small scale suppliers and intermediaries.

Coffee and Nescafe breakfast, as well as Nestlé’s Full Cream Milk product- Nestlé

expertise and the size of the company. In the case of Nigeria, the company is a part of
Central and West Africa region. The region is managed through Nestlé Central & West
Africa Limited, which is based in Accra. As at FY 2014, Nigerian market contributed
98.91% to the turnover of the company, while Niger, Senegal, Togo, Ghana, Guinea
and others contributed the balance of 1.09%.

suppliers where available. As part of this policy, it has successfully introduced the use
of locally produced items such as soya bean, maize, cocoa, palm oil and sorghum in a
number of its products. Also, the company has successfully substituted imported corn
starch with locally produced cassava starch.
In 2014, Nestlé CWA Limited, Ghana transferred its ordinary share of 472,308,222

4.0 Product Analysis:
Nestlé has two reportable business segments, which are its strategic business units.
The units are Food Products and Beverages. This strategic business units offer
different products and services, and are managed separately because they require
different technology and marketing strategies. The food products segment contributed
58.49% to the company’s revenue in FY 2014, compared with the contribution of

4.1 Food Products:
This includes the production and sale of Maggi, Cerelac, Nutrend, NAN, Lactogen and
Golden Morn. The company launched the Nestlé Golden Morn Millet in 2013; because
of the need to provide consumers with high quality foods that provide nutritional value at
an affordable cost. The product offers consumers the opportunity to increase their
intake of two essential micronutrients (Iron and Vitamin A) as part of their daily
breakfast. The introduction of millet variety expanded the product portfolio of Golden
Morn to three in addition to maize enriched and maize cocoa. Products in this category
compete with a lot of imported food products in the market. There are smaller
competitors in the food products market in Nigeria but Nestlé maintains the lead in the
market. Nestlé’s other products in this category includes: Maggi Cube, Maggi Mix’py,
Maggi Chicken Tablet and Maggi Crayfish Tablet. Competitors include Unilever’s Knorr
and Royco Cubes.
4.2 Beverages:
This includes the production and sale of Milo, Chocomilo, Nido, Nescafe and Nestlé

variant of its bottled water brand fortified with zinc (an essential mineral to support the
immune system). To further increase its market share, the company launched Nestlé
Pure Life 5litre family size bottle in 2013, the first of its kind in Nigeria. Some of the
other competing products in the market are Bournvita, Ovaltine, Eva Water, Peak Milk,

7.0 Valuation:
We employed relative valuation method using Enterprise Value (EV) to Earnings Before
Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) multiple. The assumptions and
results of the valuation are:
Assumptions:
EV/EBITDA Multiple: 23.61x
Debt: N31.12bn
Cash: N3.70bn
Number of shares in issue: 792.66mn
Applying the EV/EBITDA multiple of 23.61x, we arrived at N937.29 per share as the fair
value.
The current market value of Nestle share is N850.10, the highest and the lowest closing
prices in the last 52 weeks are N1,150 and N746.25 respectively. The forward earnings
yield and dividend yield of the company at our fair value are 2.50% and 2.20%
respectively. The total return, a combination of the capital appreciation and the
dividend, generates 12.68%. The company has a track record of consistent dividend
payment (both interim and final) which makes a good stock to hold for large fund
managers. Going by historic trend the company shares would always trade at a
premium to its fair value. We therefore place a BUY on the shares of Nestle at the
current price of N850.10 as of June 18, 2015.
The fair value for Nestle shares is N937.29
The fair value for Guinness shares is N185.72.
