| Lucy Baker | |
| CADBURY SCHWEPPES, the Dairy Milk to Dr Pepper giant, said yesterday | |
| it was in "preliminary discussions" with France's Pernod Ricard about the | |
| possible acquisition of Orangina and a handful of other soft drinks brands. | |
| Cadbury, which last week bought the US-based Snapple Beverage group | |
| for a cash consideration of $910m (pounds 616m), is expected to clinch the | |
| Pernod assets for about pounds 450m. | |
| /TX | Shares in the UK company fell 1p to 400p as analysts described the |
| rumoured price tag as "unrealistically high". | |
| The deal with Pernod would increase Cadbury's slice of the soft drinks | |
| market in France from 5 per cent to 13 per cent, boosting it into second | |
| position behind Coca-Cola, which has a 59 per cent share. Alongside Orangina, | |
| the package of brands is likely to include Yoohoo chocolate milk and Pampryle | |
| fruit drink. | |
| Martin Dolan, an analyst at Credit Suisse First Boston, said: | |
| "Strategically, Cadbury's position in Europe is not robust and sustainable. | |
| They need to do something about that." The Orangina acquisition would lead to | |
| cost synergies with Cadbury's existing Schweppes and Oasis businesses in | |
| France. | |
| But another analyst warned: "The difficulty for Cadbury will be | |
| developing Orangina outside France, which Pernod Ricard was not able to | |
| do." | |
| From Pernod's perspective, the proceeds from the disposal are likely | |
| to be used as firepower for its bid to acquire part of the spirits business | |
| being sold by Canada's Seagram. The French group has teamed up with Diageo to | |
| take part in the auction, which is expected to raise about $7bn. | |
| This is Pernod's third attempt to divest its soft drinks business. | |
| Last November, French regulators cited competition concerns for blocking a | |
| FFr4.7bn (pounds 455m) bid by Coca-Cola for the second time. | |
| Separately, Cadbury's earlier plans to sell its European soft drinks | |
| business to Coca-Cola were also thwarted last year on competition grounds. | |
| Analysts say there are unlikely to be any anti-trust issues if Cadbury does | |
| launch a formal offer for Pernod's soft drinks portfolio. | |
