Dear Colleagues
Welcome to the second Nestl Professional AOA Quarterly
newsletter 2010.
We have reached our goals for the first half of 2010. Our
RIG and OG stand at all time highs and I hope we will be
able to carry on this performance into the second half of
2010. Also, the profitability is in line with expectations.
In this issue, you will find some interesting work done in
different markets in AOA which can inspire us for the coming
months. If you come across good ideas, please speak to
your colleagues to use the knowledge to accelerate growth in the next months. In 2009, we
were able to get back on our growth path after a difficult start. Therefore, I feel that the second
half of 2010 will be more challenging and we have to put our focus on 2011. Continued growth
and acceleration are needed to succeed in today's competitive world. NP AOA will have to
continue to deliver high growth with continued improvement of EBIT.
This year, we signed a regional agreement with ISS and just recently, we established business
relationship with Nandos, a South African chain restaurant, to be the Global Strategic Coffee
Solution provider. This is a very exciting regional opportunity and many people, from the Global
team and Beverage Centre with the NP AOA Regional and market teams, were involved. I
would like to express my gratitude to them and let us successfully build the Nandos partnership
across AOA. Certainly, this will help us find more opportunities to work with customers across
our vast and diverse geographic region.
I hope you will continue to enjoy reading our newsletter. If you have any suggestions on how
to make it more appealing or inspirational, please advise me or Ai-Khuan, who has been a
great support to me in publishing this document quarterly.
The next issue is planned for end September 2010. Thank you for your continued support and
new successful stories to build our next newsletter.
Thank you also for the great results for the first two quarters in 2010 and for the tremendous
work you and your teams have put in to deliver them.
Good luck and every success to all NP AOA staff.
With Warm Regards
Milano reduces restaurant operational complexity by dispensing high quality caf style beverages consistently,
time and again. It provides operators with the opportunity to customise coffee beverages on the spot. As
a result, restaurateurs are trading up to capture the added value consumers are willing to pay for a premium
cup of coffee.
The solution creates competitive gaps generating two revenue streams: the sale of product and the sale of
an exclusive fully integrated service programme. The Nestl Professional BAP delivers a range of value-added
services with the express aim of enabling customers to capture and accelerate incremental same-store sales
growth.
How it all began
After a brief initial contact with the Nando's senior management in
November 2009, a follow up meeting was arranged at the Nestl
Professional Beverage Centre in February 2010. A team from the Nestl
Professional Beverages Commercial Unit at the Centre, the AOA region
and the SA market decided that even though Nando's was aggressively
seeking roast and ground coffee, the time was right for Nestl Professional
to introduce the new Nescaf Milano Solution and its BAP.
On 6 and 7 April 2010, the team, presented Nando's with Nestl Professional proprietary
industry insights, focusing on unique accelerated growth opportunities in coffee
beverages. This was followed by a compelling pitch on how the Nescaf Milano Solution
and its BAP could deliver against key industry drivers to accelerate Nando's entry
into the premium coffee beverages arena. The group was then invited to experience
a creative coffee beverages menu developed specially for Nando's, addressing their
consumer's specific coffee needs. The comprehensive presentation was attended by
the entire Nando's management team including their Chairman, CEO, their executive
board and senior personnel.
The Nando's team were inspired by the new Nescaf Milano solution and its BAP, quickly understanding its
value, making it their Global Coffee Solution of Choice.
In less than 60 days since receiving the green light, Nestl Professional has worked tirelessly to develop,
refine and implement the new Nescaf Milano and its BAP. The system is now installed, commissioned and
launched at 20 high volume Nando's sites in SA as part of the agreed 90-day test, just in time for the 2010
FIFA World Cup.
Marc Caira, Chief Executive Officer at Nestl Professional said, "This initiative is a truly exciting opportunity
for our business. We have created a lighthouse to guide our markets into the future - a clear example of
what can be accomplished for all to see".
Michiel Kernkamp, Head of Global Branded Beverages at Nestl Professional added, "The Nando's relationship
has enabled us to work hand in hand with a customer to validate the BAP, a premium 10-point fully integrated
service package we sell alongside our products. This now provides our markets with a clear way forward
on their journey to becoming a valued driven service partner".
The first steps - The South African trial
The Nestl Professional team in SA worked to very tight time-lines. In fact, from the day the dispensing
equipment and products arrived in the market, the team had exactly one week to deliver, install, train and
commission the new Nescaf Milano systems at 20 participating Nando's locations in Johannesburg,
3
Durban and Cape Town. The South African team completed the installation with just 4 hours to spare. When
asked to comment on the initiative, Barend Minnaar, Country Business Manager at Nestl Professional SA
said, "The concept is already delivering a strong market presence for the new Nescaf Milano Solution in
major centres across the country. Our team has done a tremendous job and continues to work hard to
ensure we execute promotional plans flawlessly and make the trial a resounding success".
The initial feedback from Nando's and their franchisees has been overwhelmingly positive. Jeff Rakusin,
President of Nando's trading said, "We are delighted to serve your new Nescaf Milano premium caf style
beverages at our restaurants. In fact, this morning, I received a report from one location in Cape Town which
has gone from no coffee sales to 185 cups in the first three days of the programme. We are truly delighted
with the response we are getting from consumers and particularly pleased to have the support
of such a great global partner as Nestl Professional to ensure the projects' success".
Nestl Professional continues to work diligently to ensure that
Nando's expectations at local, regional and global levels are met.
"It is now crucial that we deliver the growth Nando's is expecting
during the trial by leveraging the BAP and executing the plan",
says Friedrich Mahler, Regional Business Head, Nestl Professional
AOA. He also added, "The regional team in Singapore, will now
work closely with markets to implement the entire solution in
13 additional countries across AOA in the next three weeks. I
am looking forward to leveraging the successes of the initiative
to expand the business beyond the Nando's system and into
the business."
A bright future
Once the business is fully implemented in 2011, the new Nescaf Milano Solution will
have been extended to 34 countries, with a presence at more than 1,000 Nando's
restaurants. In addition, the business will deliver integrated accelerated growth as
Nando's is projecting to reach 1,600 stores by the end of 2013.
The business will generate above-average profits from both the sale of products and
the sale of services in the form of a Beverage Acceleration Programme. This initiative
is a prime example of how to create competitive gaps through the rapid implementation
of relevant innovation in commercial channels, while strengthening the Nestl Professional
position as a growth driver at Nestl, through the sale of ingredients, and systems,
and service.
After taking part in a product usage workshop and a teambuilding session sponsored by Senegals Country Manager,
each Field Soldier was presented with a sales kit, comprising:
a Nescaf case
a Nescaf flask
Nescaf paper cups
Nescaf Ginger&Spice
a Nescaf apron
On 9 March 2010, all 100 Nescaf Field Soldiers started
selling Nescaf Ginger&Spice in the assigned markets.

The contest solicited recipes from two categories: Chinesestyle hot dishes and Chinese-style pastries. Either Nestl
Carnation Filled Evaporated Milk - NP highest-volume SKU
in mainland China - or Nestl Carnation Full Cream
Evaporated Milk were required to be used in all recipes. In
total, more than 1,000 recipes from around 800 chefs were
received from all parts of the country.
Placing a clear priority on innovative recipes that have
practical applications for real life restaurant usage, the panel
of food experts from Nestl Professional and East Eat
selected 20 finalists to compete in a final live cook-off in
Beijing. The finals were held on 16 December 2009 at the
Marriott Courtyard Hotel in Beijing, in close cooperation
with the China Cuisine Association.
How We Delivered
A special package, comprising all products in the Maggi
range, was offered to our operators and AEs when they
make purchases of at least Baht 1,000 from January to
March 2010. The AEs took on the role of delivering the well
wishes and lucky Angbaos, as well as putting up lanterns
at operators shopfronts in order to build closer relationships.

undoubtedly Malaysias
most popular dish. The
dish is popularly served
with either steamed or
roast chicken, piping hot
chicken broth, fiery chilli
sauce and fresh
cucumber. Affordable,
filling and mouthwatering, Hainanese
chicken rice is often the
best selling dish in the
fast growing out-of-home

The last phase was all about broadening the top end of
the brand funnel - generating awareness and trial. The
most cost-efficient manner was to work with specific
customers and develop bundle meal programmes.

The Opportunity
Our Consumer

Validated through
consumer research and
actual vended cup
readings in 2009,
Filipinos prefer to drink
a hot creamy and sweet
coffee cup. They mainly
drink coffee to perk-up
but the average coffee
cup consumed per
capita is still below 1 cup
per day. One of the
reasons of low
consumption is the bitter
taste of coffee. A
consumer test was also
conducted to test the
current most vended
white coffee cup and
results showed room for
taste improvement.

One of the key strategies for NP is to strengthen the routeto-market programme called Business On Wheels (BOW)
for the Out-of-Home Street Channel. A key element is to
have a steady supply of BOWers. In partnering with SOS,
NP can offer the BOWer programme as a livelihood
opportunity to SOS family members who have graduated
from the SOS Programme, providing them with a positive
