alcoholic beverages. Its operations include manufacturing facilities, distribution and direct sales and it has
demonstrated strong growth in EBITDA in FY2020 which was up 20% pcp and amounted to US$300mm.
It has similar operations to WorldWide Brewing across the same segments and is the leading player in Singapore
and Malaysia, suggesting the potential for strategic benefits and synergies. It has solid financial results and an
ownership structure that is owned by 3 families, rendering a potential acquisition relatively simple and feasible.
HappyHour Co. would be appropriate to share.
