HISTORY
Don Facundo Bacardi Masso formed Bacardi Company in Santiago de Cuba in 1862. The early 1900s witnessed strong growth as sales and exports increased. During 1910s, the company opened two bottling plants, one in Barcelona and the other in New York City. During the same period, due to prohibition the bottling plant in New York was shut down. The growth continued in 1920s with the opening of another bottling plant in Santiago de Cuba. The company's name was changed to Compania Ron Bacardi during 1930s. In the following decade, Bacardi Imports was founded, which became the company's US marketing and sales branch. During 1950s the company built a distillery in Puerto Rico, Mexico and a bottling plant on the outskirts of Mexico City. During the same period the company constructed two new Hatuey breweries in Cuba and started the construction of a new distillery in Recife, Brazil. The company's Cuban assets were confiscated by the socialist government of Cuba in 1960. Despite having to leave Cuba, the Bacardi family completed building new production facilities in Brazil, Bahamas and Canada during 1960s. During the same period, the company moved Bacardi Imports from New York City to Miami, Florida. New facilities were built in Spain, Panama, and Bermuda during the 1970s. All Bacardi operations were consolidated into Bacardi & Company with its headquarters in Hamilton, Bermuda in 1990s. In 1992, Bacardi made multiple acquisitions including Martini & Rossi. It acquired Dewar's scotch and Bombay gin in 1998. Bacardi concluded an agreement with Brown-Forman in 2002, to share sales force and logistics operation in the UK. Bacardi completed the acquisition of brand Grey Goose vodka in 2004. The company renewed its contract with Brown-Forman during 2006, extending it till 2012.

Bacardi Limited
SWOT Analysis
Strong manufacturing capabilities enable the company to maintain control over quality and respond quickly to changes in consumer demand. Strong global presence The company has a strong global presence with its operations in more than 100 markets worldwide. Bacardi has a significant presence various regions including North America, the Europe, Middle East and Africa, Latin America and Asia Pacific. The principal markets in North America region include the US, Canada and the Caribbean. The principal markets in Europe, Middle East and Africa regions include Spain, France, Russia, Germany, Italy and the UK. The principal markets in Latin America include Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, and the Dominic Republic. Bacardi's strong global presence with its wide spread sources of revenues indicates it caters to businesses in different parts of the world. This helps in reducing its business risks across various geographies.
Weaknesses
Ownership status The spirits and wine industry is characterized by a large number of players, with many of them having a worldwide presence similar to Bacardi and is highly competitive in nature. Bacardi is a private company. The company competes with the industry players such as Diageo plc, Pernod Ricard, and Remy Cointreau. The trend of rising competition to increase their presence and gain market share in the industry could result in a situation of price war between the large industry players, which may in turn potentially impact Bacardis pricing structures, forcing the company to lower its prices. In such case, Bacardi may not be able to compete effectively with its competitors and may loose its customers and market share. The companys principal competitors are listed and have greater financial resources, resulting in greater purchasing power, better financial flexibility and more capital resource for expansion and improvement, which enables them to compete more effectively. In addition, the companys competitors can also sustain in the market with low margins for a longer period to gain market share in an event of a price war between the industry leaders. Hence, private ownership puts the company at a disadvantage in terms of competing effectively with its competitors and sustaining in an event of price war in the industry.
Opportunities
Positive outlook for global spirits market The spirits market has witnessed a steady growth in the international markets. As per Datamonitors estimate, the global spirits market grew by 1.02% in 2010 to reach a value of $282,948.5 million. In
Page 16
Bacardi Limited
SWOT Analysis
2014, the global spirits market is forecasted to have a value of $318,887.8 million, an increase of 12.7% since 2010. Market consumption volume grew by 2.1% in 2010 to reach a value of 19,112.3 million liters. In 2014, the market consumption volume is forecasted to have a value of 20,902.8 million liters, an increase of 11.77% since 2010. Bacardi specializes in the manufacture, development and distribution of spirits. A growing spirits market thus provides an opportunity for the company to boost its revenues by introducing newer products and increase its customer base by venturing in to newer geographies. Positive outlook for the Indian market The Indian alcoholic drinks market recorded strong growth over the last few years. As per Datamonitors estimate, Indian alcoholic drinks market grew by 1.16% in 2010 to reach a value of $25,358.0 million. In 2014, the market is forecasted to have a value of $40,998 million, an increase of 61.6% since 2010. Market consumption volume grew by 13.8% in 2010 to reach a value of 3,407.4 million liters. In 2014, the market consumption volume is forecasted to have a value of 5,179.3 million liters, an increase of 52.0% since 2010. The company has a strong presence in India through Bacardi Martini India Limited (BMIL), a (74:26) joint venture between Gemini Distilleries and Bacardi. BMIL has strong brands in India including Bacardi Breezer, the largest selling brand in the Ready to Drink (RTD) segment. Furthermore, the company launched Bacardi 'O', orange-flavored rum in Bangalore, India in 2009. The Indian markets has witnessed a double digit growth in the white spirit market in the recent times, and the introduction of Bacardi O product will help the company further strengthen its portfolio of product offerings in India. Thus, the company can leverage the growing alcoholic drinks market in India and boost its top line growth. Growing wine market The wine market is expected to witness strong growth globally. As per Datamonitors estimate, the global wine market grew by 1.03% in 2010 to reach a value of $309,571.5 million. In 2014, the global wine market is forecasted to have a value of $325,753.7 million, an increase of 6.31% since 2010. Bacardi has an array of premium wine brands in its portfolio including Martini Sparkling Wines, Grandi Auguri and Magici Istanti. Hence, the company is well positioned to tap the growing global consumption of wine.
Threats
Stringent advertising regulations Alcohol companies have been criticized for the irresponsible portrayal of alcoholic drinks in advertisements. Especially in the European countries, advertising watchdogs have been coming down heavily on alcohol advertising, claiming that such advertisements fuel binge drinking. In order to control this, Most EU countries have imposed legal bans on advertising of spirits on TV and radio; on broadcast advertisements linking alcohol with children, driving, sport or promoting alcohol abuse; and on sponsorship of TV and radio programs by companies primarily concerned in alcohol production.
Page 17
Bacardi Limited
SWOT Analysis
Such stringent advertisement regulations imposed on manufacturers of alcoholic beverages could have a negative impact on the brand image of the company. Intense competition The brewing industry is highly competitive and has been witnessing a consolidation phase, as larger players are taking the merger and acquisition route to secure brands and market share. Bacardi faces a stiff competition from major global players such Diageo, Pernod Ricard, Fortune Brands and Brown-Forman, each of which has several brands that compete directly with Bacardi. Most of the major players exhibit a high degree of vertical integration, having invested substantially in distillery, bottling, and storage facilities. In addition, some manufacturers are integrated backwards, and grow their own inputs. For example, Pernod Ricard has its own agave fields, to ensure reliable supplies of agave cactus for its tequila products. The company competes against much larger players in the market which have significantly more bargaining power and resources than the company. In addition, unanticipated actions by competitors could lead to downward pressure on prices and adversely affect the company's market position. Increasing labor costs In recent years, the labor costs are rising in the US and the UK. The tight labor markets increased overtime, government mandated increases in minimum wages and a higher proportion of full-time employees are resulting in an increase in labor costs. As per Fair Labor Standards Act, the federal minimum wage rate in the US, which had remained at $5.15 per hour since 1997, increased to $5.85 per hour in July 2007 and subsequently to $6.55 per hour in July 2008. The federal minimum wage rate further increased to $7.25 per hour in July 2009. The minimum wage in the US is expected to increase further in 2011. Similarly, in the UK, the national minimum wage was increased to 5.93 in October 2010. In the UK, the minimum wage had gone up by 64.7% since the government introduced the minimum wage policy in 1999.The increased labor costs would affect the company's margins as the company employs majority of its workforce in the US and the European region.
