Further downward revision for Home Care in Q4

Q4 sees the outlook for home care worsen slightly over what was seen in Q3, with a US$1.1 billion downward revision softening a little to a US$1.2 billion downward revision, with Brazil and the US alone accounting for 50% of this figure.

All about Brexit

While the Q3 Quarterly Statement covered the problems associated with North America, this Q4 Quarterly Statement focuses on the EU and more specifically the fallout from the UK’s Brexit vote in June 2016.

Phoney war

At the time of writing, there is much talk of Brexit although this has moved to the background as US president-elect Donald Trump takes centre stage. In both cases much has been said but nothing concrete has actually happened and until the UK government triggers Article 50 nothing will.

Inflation

The only tangible impact of Brexit has been the British currency falling sharply against the US dollar and the euro. While many experienced this effect on their summer holidays it was not until October 2016 that the impact began to be felt in retail.

Tesco tiff

Unilever and Tesco had a very public falling out over the former’s intention to raise prices by 10% across its portfolio. The inevitable cost of Brexit, some (including Tesco) cried profiteering, with other brands following suit there have even been orchestrated boycott campaigns for brands that fall foul of public sentiment; Apple however appears to have been immune from this which implies a certain prejudice.

Future retail

Retailers and brands will never see eye to eye on pricing but as retailers now look to be the people’s champion on pricing what options do brand owners have? There is strong evidence to suggest future retail will be more fragmented but all the options struggle with margins and scale.
