Message from the Chairman

The company has during the year continued to consolidate its performance platforms to deliver sustained future growth. We achieved

market share growth in our key segments, and key initiatives in Human Resources and Supply Chain departments have realigned company processes to increase efficiency and productivity.

Market Overview

Market conditions were generally favorable during the year, not withstanding some new regulations on trading hours and packaging specifications which impacted our operations which were amended later in the year. The economy continued to grow in line with market expectations and inflation was well contained within single digit levels. However, the Kwacha came under pressure as high demand for the United States Dollar saw it depreciate by 2.5% year on year to close at 5.403 (Kwacha Rebased). In their first full annual budget, the PF Government focused national resources on initiatives targeted at stimulating economic activity and growth. Massive investments have been made in infrastructure development with the road sector being a major beneficiary. The benefit of this to our business is that we will be able to serve our customers more easily and efficiently.

Strategic review We have continued to make significant progress in positioning the business on a footing of sustained growth. The results

for the year clearly show the outcome of the various prudential measures we implemented to grow capacity and improve our route to market. Our brands have continued to enjoy high demand, cementing our belief in the growth prospects of our business. Price compliance still remained a challenge. The coming online of our new Chibuku Super offering in a PET bottle is a game changer for our business and will be key to our future performance.

We made strides in securing our agricultural input supplies through our comprehensive local sourcing programs for maize and sorghum that have realized tangible benefits to our small-scale farming partners.

Sustained focus on management of fixed costs had a notable impact on driving our performance. We continued to entrench efficiency and productivity measures in our value chain allowing us to maintain competitive pricing in the face of increasing costs of doing business.

We continued to witness high competitor activity, most of whom have continued to make bulk deliveries in total disregard to existing legislation.

Sustainable DevelOPmeNtWe believe that the long-term sustainability of our business is premised on our being a good ‘corporate citizen’.

Our commitment to therefore operate in a responsible, accountable and transparent manner remained unabated as we continued to implement programmes aimed at aligning our objectives with those of the whole society to enable equitable wealth creation and sustainable development.

Dear Shareholders,

The coming online of our new Chibuku Super offering in a PET bottle is a game changer for our business and will be key to our future performance.

We’re Innovating…

Message from the Chairman (contd)

Corporate GOverNaNce

We have continued to be steadfast in observing a strict compliance culture with regard to sound corporate governance principles over the years by applying the best management practices. These practices are oriented towards enhancing investor confidence, with increased transparency and corporate responsibility.We operated under the guidelines of the Lusaka Stock Exchange Governance Code, the UK Combined Code on Corporate Governance and the Turnbull guidance report on internal controls.

Future PrOsPects

We are confident that Zambia’s economy will continue on the growth trajectory we have witnessed over the past couple of years.

The successful issue by Government of the US$750 million Eurobond has allowed for massive investment in infrastructure which will continue to spur economic activity and employment creation. Together with the highly anticipated increase in copper production following investment into new greenfield mining projects, this is expected to sustain the country’s GDP growth rate at around 7% for 2013. For our business this is good news as improved economic performance will lead to wealth creation and growth in disposable income.

The level of inflation remains a risk to pricing stability of our products, which are essentially economy brands. However, we remain confident that, over the short to medium term, government policies will contain inflation within sustainable levels so as to lower the cost of doing business, leading to stability in our pricing.

We laud the government for maintaining a conducive environment that is supportive of private sector enterprise growth. The consistency and predictability of government policy has enabled us to take long term investment decisions that we will see us continue growing our business in Zambia.

Message from the Managing Director

Our overriding objective for the year was to restore volume growth by managing affordability while protecting margins through

portfolio innovation and disciplined cost management. We had an exciting year that I am pleased to report on, notwithstanding the comparatively softer financial results. We had new liquor trading regulations that restricted operating hours which meant we lost 1 trading day a week for 2 months, representing 2% of our volume. We also had new regulations that for a considerable time imposed packaging restrictions that meant we could not supply 30% of our portfolio offering. Nevertheless, we delivered a strong volume performance for the year in review, with a growth of 34% in total volumes. This was on the back of a price roll back on our main 1 liter Shake Shake pack, although this expectedly put pressure on our margins.

We concluded the installation of additional capacity in commissioning a new PET line for Chibuku Super at our Kitwe brewery. This happened early in the second half of the year with strong demand coming through almost immediately.

Strategic review Against a backdrop of the competitive environment remaining difficult, we enhanced our route to market through investment in additional delivery vehicles.

The issuance of various Government regulations to control the opaque beer market directly affected our business in the last financial with the most impactful being Statutory Instrument No. 23 of 2012 - The Liquor Licensing (Intoxicating Liquor) (Quantities and Packaging) Regulation, 2012. The effect of this regulation, as already indicted, was that it inadvertently made the carton pack the only packaging format allowed for opaque beer. We applauded the intention of this regulation in prohibiting the sale of cheap spirits packed in sachets. Regrettably, we saw the return of cheap spirits packed in 200ml PET bottles during the latter part of 2012.

Our Chibuku Super PET offering has seen significant growth since its launch and we believe it offers exciting opportunities because of its longer shelf-life.

Currency rebasing presented challenges in achieving price compliance in the market as the coins seemed, in most areas, not to be available for retailers to give as change.

Sustainable DevelOPmeNtOur sustainable development strategy ensures that we continue to make a meaningful contribution to the welfare of the

communities where we operate. During the year we supported various initiatives, which included providing clean drinking water and housing in Palabana, supporting the initiative aimed at reducing the incidences of early marriages across the country, imparting business skills in young entrepreneurs and sharing information to combat the unintended consequences of irresponsible consumption of alcohol, such as underage drinking.

We remain focused on being a force for good in the conduct of our business through strict adherence to ethical behavior in all our interactions with the various stakeholders across our entire value chain.

The response from consumers to our Chibuku Super offering has been very strong and there is now a need for us to expand our capacity to meet the high market demand.

We’re Refreshing…

Message from the Managing Director (contd)

Capital iNvestmeNt

The remarkable economic performance of the country has continued to present significant opportunities for growth of our business. We made a capital investment in a new Chibuku Super line at our Kitwe Brewery that was successfully commissioned early in the second half of the year. This ZMK25m capital investment involved installation of a line for packaging our new Chibuku Super offering, which is packaged in PET bottles.

LookingaheaD

The Zambian economy continues to grow and perform strongly with key sectors such as mining, manufacturing, construction and social services all seeing massive investment and increased performance. The consensus is that this will continue to be the case in the short- to medium-term as government continues with its free market policies and the country maintains its status as an investor friendly destination.

Government’s investment in road infrastructure will increase accessibility across the country, allowing us to penetrate new markets in a bid to achieve our ambitious volume aspirations.We have, in the last year, made the necessary capital investments and organizational changes to strengthen our capabilities and increase our efficiency. The stability of the country’s economic climate presents opportunities for further investment. The response from consumers to our Chibuku Super offering has been very strong and there is now a need for us to expand our capacity to meet the high market demand. This strong performance affirms our strategic view and belief in the high potential of the business. We are, therefore, convinced that the time is right for investment in new brewery infrastructure in Lusaka at our existing Lusaka Plant.

One of the key risks facing the business continues to be the management of post-consumer waste. We have made significant progress, in partnership with various stakeholders, including the Ministry of Local Government and Housing, in developing a solution that we hope to install soon. We expect that the implementation of this initiative will be a great step in driving the agenda for environmental protection and sustainability.

As the leading producer of commercial opaque beer in Zambia, we continue to be concerned about the unintended consequences of irresponsible consumption of alcohol. We will continue to implement programmes that are focused on reducing irresponsible alcohol consumption and will seek more impactful collaborations with key stakeholders in addressing challenges of irresponsible alcohol consumption.

We will continue to explore further synergies with our sister companies. With our new capital investments and new offerings, we are entering a phase of accelerated growth in our business. To ensure the sustainability of this strong growth, we will continue to embed our Human Resource strategic initiatives that are focused on developing talent and building winning teams of highly motivated and engaged individuals.

Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of National Breweries Plc at 31 March 2013, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and with the requirements of the Zambia Companies Act.
