In the
latest Annual Report, Atria Plc shows a lot of interesting information about
the company’s markets. Let’s look very
briefly at one set of info, barbecue season figures.
Nielsen
stats in the report tell that in the summer of 2014 (June, July and August), the value
of the barbecue product market in Finland was about Eur 170 million. My big problem is of course that I don’t know
if this is in terms of consumer prices, or if it is with or without VAT. However, according to the
same stats, Finns purchased 31 million kilos of barbecue products during the
summer period. Just taking these figures
as they are, it’s a trivial operation to calculate the mean price per kg, which
appears to be about Eur 5.50. So, perhaps they are in terms of consumer prices without VAT. Moreover,
the same stats tell that Atria Finland’s market share in summer 2014 in
barbecue products overall was 31.7%. Again, a
naïve calculation gives roughly Eur 54 million, Atria Finland’s share of the above
mentioned barbecue product market. The
report says that the market
share figure only includes Atria-branded products and private label products
made by Atria are not included. Perhaps
some Eur 10 to 15 million should be added.
Then, Atria’s share of barbecue product market could be about Eur 60 to 70 million. Assuming that figures really
are in terms of consumer prices, one must conclude, that barbecue products don’t
add to Atria Finland’s net sales but a few ten million euros.
Consequently, one can conclude, that in terms
of net sales, barbecue season is not that important. Namely Atria Finland’s net sales by quarter from
first to last in 2014 in million euros were roughly 220, 250, 240, and
240. Also these values as such tell that
barbecue products increase sales only slightly.
Perhaps demand mostly shifts from other product categories.
We will look at
Atria again later but on Friday, April
24th we are going to look at HKScan’s businesses. Practicality is practical.
