Financial Review
The Tanzania Breweries Limited Group of Companies (TBL) has delivered another sound set of results despite extremely challenging market conditions for the year ended 31st March 2015. Annual lager volumes were 6.5% down on prior year mainly as a result of above-inflation price adjustment following the 20% increase in excise. This was further exacerbated by challenging economic conditions especially in the Northwest and Far South regions. Wines and Spirits volumes were 36% above prior year with outstanding performance from brands like Konyagi, Vladmir and Zanzi Cream. Volumes for opaque beer were in line with prior year.

Sales revenue growth of 10% over prior was driven by the favourable mix and the excise driven price increase.

Operating profit ended the period 7% ahead of prior year mainly due to production efficiencies as well as cost savings. The Tanzanian Shilling has come under pressure and depreciated by 14% against the US dollar year to date. This continued to put additional pressure on the cost of imported production materials.
Total cash generated from operations amounted to Tsh 365 billion, of which Tsh 95 billion wasutilised to pay corporate tax, while the remaining amount funded capital expenditure, repayment of bank borrowings, interest expenses. Dividends of Tsh 152 billion were paid to shareholders. The growth in earnings was achieved largely as a result of favourable mix, improved efficiencies as well as focused cost management whilst operating in an extremely challenging environment. I would like to thank the Board, management and employees for their efforts and continued support as well as our customers, consumers and all stakeholders for their loyalty.
Roberto Jarrin
Managing Director
