7 A-B Business Analysis Pros Strong brand  Successfully implemented pricing increases Massive distribution channel  Being leveraged to diversify product mix Strategic investments contributing to growth  Grupo Modelo generating much of BUD’s recent growth Consistent cash flows  Dividend yield of 2.70%  History of and planned stock buybacks which should boost stock price Cons North American growth flat  Accounts for majority of revenues Weakness in core brands Margins under pressure  Commodity, labor, marketing, and distribution costs increasing Expansion and diversification strategy is a wildcard  Growth so far has largely been just enough to offset declines in core brands

10 Anheuser-Busch Summary Lack of organic growth is cause for concern International growth slow in materializing Concerned BUD will need to make sizeable unplanned investments in marketing and expansion Valuation, performance, and market sentiment imply limited upside gains in the near term Recommend selling 137bp (50% of holding) Diversification and international endeavors could be catalysts for higher valuations Re-evaluate remaining position in 3 months

11 Recommendation #2: Increase Colgate-Palmolive Holdings

12 Colgate-Palmolive Large, mature consumer products company Segments  Oral, Personal, and Home Care  Pet Nutrition Growth Opportunities  International expansion  Possible merger talks with Unilever  Undergoing restructuring plan which includes increased product innovation, more efficient spending on marketing, closing of 1/3 of CL’s factories and more focus on faster growing markets.

Excluding restructuring costs, Colgate earned $0.84 a share, compared to $0.72 a year ago.

14 C-P Business Analysis Cons Modest growth domestically  2 nd quarter sales increase over previous year: North America : 3.5%Europe/South Pacific : 17.0% Latin America: 16.0%Asia/Africa : 15.5% Pet food recall/counterfeit toothpaste hurting brand  Colgate has been proactive in restoring trust in brand Rising commodity prices/energy prices reduces net margin

17 Colgate Summary Generating higher earnings through restructuring plan Excellent international growth Market leader in their key segment (toothpaste) DCF target price: 80.47, 17.5% upside. Recommend buying 85 basis points (61.2% increase in current holdings)
