SAO PAULO, July 31, 2014
SAO PAULO, July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ambev S.A. [BOVESPA: ABEV3; NYSE: ABEV] announces today its results for the 2014 second quarter. The following operating and financial information, unless otherwise indicated, is presented in nominal Reais and prepared according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and should be read together with our quarterly financial information for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 filed with the CVM and submitted to the SEC.
Operating and Financial Highlights
Top line performance: During the quarter we delivered 9.2% net revenue growth. Volume expanded 4.9% while net revenue per hectoliter (NR/hl) grew 4.1%. This performance was mainly driven by a double-digit result in Brazil (11.3% net revenue growth), in both Beer (+11.2%) and CSD (+11.7%), and Hila-Ex (+19.2% net revenue growth).
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): Our COGS increased 15.5% in 2Q14. On a per hectoliter basis, costs increased 10.2%, mainly explained by a one time negative packaging mix related to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil on top of the impact from higher currency hedges in Brazil, LAS and Canada, partially offset by favorable commodities hedges.
Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses: SG&A expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) were up 6.8% in the quarter. This was mainly driven by (i) sales and marketing expenses, as this quarter concentrated most of the initiatives related to the 2014 FIFA World Cup; (ii) higher distribution costs, impacted by volumes and a higher weight of direct distribution in Brazil and (iii) inflationary pressures in Argentina.
EBITDA, Gross margin and EBITDA margin: Our Normalized EBITDA grew 5.4% in 2Q14, reaching R$ 3,327.4 million. Normalized EBITDA margin contracted 150 basis points to 40.7% driven by a gross margin contraction of 210 basis points to 62.8%, mainly explained by the one-time negative packaging mix impact in Brazil.
Normalized Net Profit and EPS: Our Normalized Net Profit was R$ 2,222.7 million in the quarter, 16.0% above last year, positively impacted by our operational performance and a lower effective tax rate. Normalized Earnings Per Share (EPS) were up 16.7% to R$ 0.14 in the quarter.
Operating Cash generation and CAPEX: Cash generated from our operations in 2Q14 improved 15.7% when compared to the same period last year, totaling R$ 2,982.6 million. During the second quarter of 2014 we invested a total of R$ 1,120.6 million in capital expenditures.
Pay-out and Financial discipline: On July 14th, we announced a dividend and interest on capital distribution totaling R$ 2.5 billion that will be paid as from August 28th. Year to date, we have already paid/announced close to R$ 8.5 billion in cash payout, a 67% increase over the same period of last year. As of June 30th, our net cash position was R$ 3,748.8 million, not accounting yet for distribution announced on July 14th, 2014.
