Viz Branz Holdings / Equity Capital Markets

Viz Branz Holdings plans to raise up to US$150m, mostly to help repay part of its outstanding loan to Maybank, who is also one of the book runners.Nothing much seems to have changed in the company's operations since it was taken private in 2013. During that time Myanmar operations seem to have undergone some restructuring, not necessarily for the better. While the initial delisting entity, owned by the founder, has been repaid the full delisting market cap. In this insight, we will dig into the issues raised above, as well as comment on the company's financial performance and deal valuations. We will also run the deal through our framework.

Equity Bottom-Up

Since the formation of Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE) in 2015, the global retail coffee market is fast becoming a bipolar struggle between JDE and the global market leader Nestlé. JDE holds the leading position in coffee in a band stretching from Belgium through Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, while Nestlé has the edge in the western edge of Europe, Australasia, and much of Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. Other major coffee companies may harbour ambitions of one day becoming truly global players, but right now no one else is even close to matching their geographical reach.
