D.E.MASTER BLENDERS has informed co that its internal investigation related to these accounting irregularities has been largely completed.

Sara Lee serves up fresh coffee brew in Europe



* New Dutch-based coffee group to up pressure on Nestle, Kraft

* DE Master Blenders seen valued around 4 billion euros

* Could have $1 billion to spend on acquisitions - analysts

* Shares expected to be listed in Amsterdam by end June

By Ivana Sekularac and David Jones

AMSTERDAM/LONDON, March 22 (Reuters) - An independent Douwe Egberts coffee company, being spun out of Sara Lee this summer, is set to step up the battle with rivals Nestle and Kraft by expanding into new countries, premium products and possibly making acquisitions.

Analysts believe the new company, to be called D.E. Master Blenders 1753 and listed in Amsterdam by the end of June, could breathe fresh life into its Senseo single-serve brewed coffee system, which competes with Nestle's Nespresso and Kraft's Tassimo coffee systems.

A respected new management team, headed by former executives of Dutch baby food group Numico and brewer Heineken, will be working hard to build Douwe Egberts, an iconic brand in the Benelux countries, into an international force, at a time when its more diversified competitors are fighting on many fronts.

And analysts estimate the new company could have around $1 billion to spend on deals in a still fragmented industry, giving it the potential to surpass Kraft as number two in the world's $58 billion-a-year coffee market.

"A pure play coffee maker will be able to use its equity to raise money and we would expect it to be looking at small add-on acquisitions to expand throughout Europe," said one investment banker who has worked for the big coffee companies.

The new group will be the third biggest coffee maker in the world after Nestle and Kraft, but while Nestle has three-quarters and Kraft half of their sales in instant coffee, the Dutch group has two-thirds of its sales in roast and ground coffees and little presence in the instant market.

A SLEEPING GIANT

Founder Egbert Douwes and his wife opened their first coffee shop in the northern Dutch town of Joure in 1753. The business was bought by Sara Lee in 1978 and to many Dutch people lost much of its connection to its home country.

"I don't consider it a Dutch brand any more. The U.S. company bought it a long time ago. I remember I was pretty upset then, thinking why we have to sell Dutch companies," said coffee drinker Ties Molhoek, 65, a recently-retired public prosecutor.

She added Douwe Egberts is still her favourite coffee, but the group could have done more to improve product quality.

As the Dutch coffee house prepares to return home to where it was founded over 250 years ago, analysts say it will need investment and innovation to halt the slide in its domestic market share where it holds around half the roast coffee market.

"Douwe Egberts is a typical Dutch brand, but it has been a sleeping giant. It needs more excitement. I expect that in the next two to three years the perception of its products is going to change," said analyst Karel Zoete at Rabobank.

He values the new group at around 4 billion euros when it is listed in Amsterdam and expects sales will rise 9.5 percent in the current year as it raises coffee prices, with the company looking to move into faster-growing and more profitable premium ranges.

A new management team set out targets last week to grow annual sales 5-7 percent and improve profit margins, and analysts expect it will focus on its two big success stories, and so will relaunch Senseo and look to expand L'Or espresso.

A CLEARER FOCUS

Senseo generates annual sales of around $400 million but is only available in 10 markets, while L'Or espresso launched in France in April 2010 is only sold in supermarkets in four countries including the Netherlands, Spain and Belgium and accounts for around $100 million of annual sales.

Senseo, launched in 2001 with Philips , competes in the coffee system market with Nestle's Dolce Gusto and Nespresso, as well as Kraft's Tassimo. Sara Lee recently bought out Philips from the venture. .

The company has faced legal challenges from Nestle for producing its L'Or espresso capsules which can be used in Nespresso machines. This litigation continues and could limit expansion into new countries in the immediate future.

However, some analysts think the firm, with coffee and tea operations mainly in western Europe, Brazil and Australia, could benefit from a clearer focus on coffee than its rivals.

"Key competitors like Nestle have their hands in many pies, and we remain unclear about the strategic priorities of coffee at Kraft post spin," said Pablo Zuanic at Liberum Capital.

Kraft said it was to split into two companies in August with one North American grocery business and the other a global snacks business to be called Mondelez, and its coffee business will be in the latter snacks company .

Sara Lee's own split was announced back in January 2011 between its coffee and tea operations while its North American meats business will retain the Sara Lee name. Both companies would be owned by the current shareholders of Sara Lee.

Cauley Geller Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Sara Lee Corporation On Behalf of Investors
Tuesday May 13, 7:04 pm ET


NEW YORK, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The Law Firm of Cauley Geller Bowman Coates & Rudman, LLP announced today that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of purchasers of Sara Lee Corporation (NYSE: SLE - News; "Sara Lee" or the "Company") publicly traded securities during the period between August 1, 2002 to April 24, 2003, inclusive (the "Class Period"). A copy of the complaint filed in this action is available from the Court, or can be viewed on the firm's website at http://www.cauleygeller.com/show_case.asp?ccode=124&pcode=10&pp=4 .
The Complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market between August 1, 2002 and April 24, 2003, thereby artificially inflating the price of Sara Lee securities. The Complaint alleges that defendants issued a series of materially false and misleading statements concerning the Company's operations and prospects. In particular, the Complaint alleges that the statements were materially false and misleading because they failed to disclose: (a) that, despite the Company Reshaping program, the Company was still burdened with numerous poorly performing businesses and would have to reevaluate its various businesses. Accordingly, Sara Lee did not have "the right mix of businesses" in that several material businesses were "not growing" or were "in significant decline"; (b) that the Company's underperforming businesses were causing the Company to experience declining results and, as a result, the Company would not be growing at the rates represented to the market; (c) due to a lack of proper internal or financial controls, Sara Lee failed to identify or recognize those businesses or brands among its portfolio of companies that would need to be "run dramatically differently in the future"; and (d) based on the foregoing, Sara Lee lacked any reasonable basis upon which to project it (i) would experience "double-digit operating income increase" for fiscal 2003 among its "five lines of business" or (ii) have diluted EPS for fiscal 2003 in the range of $1.54 to $1.60.

On April 24, 2003, Sara Lee shocked the public when it issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter, the period ending March 31, 2003. The Company announced that it was reducing earnings for fiscal 2003 to $1.50 to $1.52 per share, significantly below consensus expectations of $1.59.

SLE - expects EPS to be 30% higher

CHICAGO, Oct 8, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sara Lee Corporation (SLE, Trade) announced today that it expects its first quarter earnings per share (EPS) to be more than 30% higher than last year's first quarter EPS of $0.26 per diluted share. The higher projections are a result of benefits from the company's Reshaping program, including increased sales of higher margin products and reduced operating costs. Favorable foreign currency exchange rates, lower interest expense and fewer shares outstanding also contributed to the above-expectation results. Sara Lee's management currently expects diluted EPS for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 to be at least $.35. For the first quarter, the analysts' consensus estimate, as measured by First Call, is currently $.28 per diluted share.

For fiscal 2003, Sara Lee currently projects that its diluted EPS will be in a range of $1.54 to $1.60 compared to $1.36 in fiscal 2002, a gain of 13% to 18%. The analysts' current consensus estimate, as measured by First Call, is $1.47 for fiscal 2003.

In its fiscal 2002 year-end earnings press release issued August 1, 2002, Sara Lee's outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was an EPS range of $.27 to $.29 per diluted share. For the full year, the company at that time projected a range of $1.44 to $1.50 per diluted share.

Reported sales are expected to increase 7%. Excluding acquisitions and divestitures, dollar sales are expected to be flat in the quarter as strength in Meats, Household Products, Intimate Apparel and Socks was offset by lower revenues from Beverage, Bakery, Hosiery and Direct Selling operations.

Preparing to address analysts at 8:30 a.m. (EDT) tomorrow (Wednesday), C. Steven McMillan, chairman, president and CEO of Sara Lee Corporation, stated, "We began 2003 with a pipeline full of innovative products, a strengthened investment program and a healthy balance sheet supported by superb cash flow. The strategy we began two years ago to invest in our key brands and take costs out of our manufacturing, distribution and administrative operations is working as demonstrated by our above-expectation first quarter results."

"As a result of our Reshaping program, for the first time in several years we are seeing growth in operating income. In this first quarter, we project that operating income will grow more than 20% over the year ago period, and for the full fiscal year we anticipate that it will grow more than 15% with increased operating income from all lines of business."

Separately, the company reported that it had repurchased 6.7 million shares of common stock at an average cost of $18.38 during this quarter. At the end of the quarter, approximately 12 million shares remained available for future repurchases under the company's current board authorization.

"Although we will continue to repurchase shares from time to time on the open market to take advantage of inefficient market moves relative to our stock, I reiterate that our first priority for the use Sara Lee's significant cash flow is to pay down debt," McMillan added.

McMillan's remarks at tomorrow's meeting will be broadcast live via the Internet and can be accessed at www.saralee.com. For people who are unable to listen to the live webcast, it will be archived in the Investor Relations section of the Sara Lee corporate Web site for 10 business days. Sara Lee's 2002 annual report is now posted on this same Web site in Flash and PDF versions.
