Boston Beer Co. Inc. Analyst Notes
On April 30, 2014, Boston Beer Co. Inc. (Boston Beer) reported its Q1 FY 2014 (period ended March 29, 2014) financial results. Q1 FY 2014 net revenue increased 35.2% YoY to $183.8 million. Q1 FY 2014 net income increased to $8.3 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared to $6.9 million, or $0.51 per share diluted in Q1 FY 2013. The Company informed that the increase is due to shipment increases that were partially offset by increased investment in advertising, promotional and selling expenses, as well as the impact of a favourable federal income tax settlement of $0.06 per share diluted in Q1 FY 2013. Martin Roper, President and CEO, Boston Beer, said, "Our supply chain performance improved during the quarter, but still remains below our expectations. The high demand levels, unseasonal weather and planned shutdowns for maintenance and efficiency improvements caused us to experience higher operational and freight costs than we had originally expected. While our growth continues to challenge us operationally, we have improved our service level to our distributors and decreased our product shortages."
