Cantos video interview with Carlos Brito, CEO InBev

InBev and Anheuser-Busch agree to create global leader in beer

You finally reached an agreement with Anheuser-Busch, so why is this such an ideal transaction for both companies?

Well, firstly, I would say we are very happy that we have reached an agreement with Anheuser-Busch. We respect Anheuser-Busch: its brand, what it means for the business; the people of A-B. So it just feels great to be here now and look at this combined company. There are so many things we can do.

It makes a lot of sense because I think it will bring the best of both companies into one company. So I mean our footprint with their amazing brand; our people, their people; the skill sets of two different companies that came from two different places, but that share the same roots in terms of years in the business. We have been in the business for 600 years and A-B has been in the business for 150 years. So we are brewers who have been in this business for the long term and now, together, we can do much more than separately. So it’s great. I’m feeling great.

Yet you have had to increase the price. Why did you do that?

Well, when we entered this negotiation, we had a range in mind and we have worked within that range, always using our financial discipline of value creation for shareholders, but also being mindful that our ultimate objective was to reach an agreed deal within our range in a friendly fashion. And that’s where we met and agreed.

Given the fact that you had to increase the price, will you have to make any changes to the commitments that you have made to the employees, to the wholesalers, etc?

No. Not at all. We will continue to support the three tier system. The big strength of the wholesaler system is a key pillar in this company, for the brand families. We will continue to be very committed to St. Louis, to the roots of A-B as a company and as a brand — Budweiser. We are not going to close any of the breweries in the U.S., the twelve breweries will remain open. The headquarters for the North American operation will continue to be in St. Louis, now with an enlarged large role, which is getting Budweiser to all different countries in the world. So the commitments are the same.

And you are confident then of making the synergies that you originally envisaged?

Oh yes, even more now, because again, in a friendly transaction we now know much more about Blue Ocean. We’ve had meetings in the last few days and Blue Ocean is a very good plan. They have done a lot of work and, of course, that will be a great platform for us to work together as a combined company.

What about the cultures of the two companies, how do you see the integration process?

Again, in a friendly deal, I see that they are very committed to make it happen. I think the leadership of A-B feels a great deal of responsibility for their people, their communities, with the brand they have built, and they are willing to do the right things to keep this business moving the way it was before, now on an enlarged platform. So, again, we have had meetings these last few days and you can feel that we are now in the mode of “Let’s try to really build this great company together.”

So what will the brand strategy of the combined companies be from here?

Again, our portfolio continues to be based a lot on what we call our local brands or local jewels, beers that are very strong in their own countries. But of course now with Budweiser as our global flagship brand, that will give us a great platform to develop that global brand, together with Beck’s and Stella Artois.

But won’t they cannibalize each other?

No, because they have different positions in consumers’ minds. Consumers have different needs, they look for different brands, different experiences, and the amazing portfolio that the combined company will have across all these different countries will enable consumers to stay within our franchise, even while looking for different experiences. So that’s the beauty of this, it’s about complementary, not about overlapping.

You talk about how the companies will complement each other, but what do you actually mean by that?

I think the first thing is the footprint, so, again, A-B is very strong in the U.S., and we have very strong positions outside the U.S. Second, brand portfolio, as I just said, different positions, different needs for consumers within our franchise. We have complementary skill sets that we can use, interchange best practice, best people. So that’s the complementary that I am talking about. It’s really beautiful what we are able to accomplish by putting the two companies together into this new combined entity.

And what is the new combined entity going to be called?

We are going to call it Anheuser-Busch InBev.

And what is the game plan then from here?

The game plan is to roll up our sleeves, work together as one team and make our dream come true, which is to be the best beer company in a better world.
