Positive Momentum for Danone, but Input Cost Inflation a Headwind in the Midterm

Ioannis Pontikis, CFA Senior Equity Analyst

Business Strategy and Outlook

| Ioannis Pontikis, CFA |

After years of suboptimal capital allocation decisions and execution, which have resulted in poor shareholder returns, Danone is in need of a new strategic plan. New management has attributed the company's historical underperformance versus peers to a lack of focus on the core portfolio, late and subscale innovation efforts, inconsistent execution, and low investment, an assessment we agree with.

Company Profile DANOY

Business Description

Following the acquisition of WhiteWave, Danone restructured the firm into three broad segments: essential dairy and plant-based products, which represents just over half of group revenue; specialised nutrition; and bottled water. The firm's portfolio includes well-known brands such as Danone/Dannon dairy products, Nutrilon and Cow & Gate infant nutrition, and Evian and Volvic bottled water. Danone derives about 60% of its annual sales outside Western Europe, up from about just one third in 2001.
