Britvic Investor Seminar 2011 March 23, 2011 Page 1 Investor Seminar 2011 Britvic plc March 23, 2011 Paul Moody: Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you very much for joining us this afternoon. I do appreciate that there is - - there's another event that coincides with this. I’m pretty clear which is more important, but maybe one or two of you have a slightly different view. I know it's going to be terribly difficult to resist - but, if you can, switch off your mobile for sure and avoid looking at your Blackberry every 30 seconds to see what new pearl of wisdom George Osborne is sharing, that will be really helpful. In terms of a couple bits of housekeeping, this afternoon there is not a planned fire alarm. So in the event that you hear a bell, then I would suggest you move swiftly but in an orderly fashion towards the exit just over to the right there. And then finally, clearly as you'll be aware, this is being webcast. That together with the videos that you'll be seeing this afternoon and the slides will all be online, so you'll be able to refer to those a bit later on. If we could just move on to the agenda chart. What we'd like to do this afternoon to a large extent focus on the medium- and long-term ambition for the Group. As you will see, and I'll talk you through the agenda, it's a pretty packed agenda covering every one of the business units together with some update both on our international ambition, but also the financial update that John will cover. We are this afternoon going to share with you some brand, some channel, and indeed some market opportunities that we think are absolutely essential to the long-term continued growth of Britvic as a business, and we believe that they are fundamental to the longer-term view that we would hope and would encourage you to take, and I appreciate within the room there are many different constituences [sic]. But as we go through the course of this afternoon, I hope that my concluding comments, which support the argument that the investment case that many of you bought into back in 2005 and some of you bought into subsequently, still remains as vibrant and as critical as it was when we first started talking about it. We will talk about our international ambition. We've talked often about our international strategy. I think what we will do this afternoon is give you some evidence of the potential scale of that international opportunity, but to manage expectations and maybe to anticipate some of the questions. We will not be giving you quantum measures, we will just be sharing with you the
- pportunity. And no doubt in the Q&A you can probe, but what we will certainly
do is give you evidence that the ambition for our international expansion is now being delivered in practical movement. You'll see that in the agenda we have a section fairly early on talking about input costs. It would be no great surprise to any of us in this room that that's been a focus of attention in the business over the last several weeks in particular, but in reality over the last several months, and no doubt there will be some questioning. What we'd like to do is give you a sense of how we see the landscape, the actions that we've taken, the actions that we plan to take, and Martin and maybe others will be happy to pick up questions afterwards. We'll also give you a perspective on the 2011 Innovation programme within GB. I should stress that within the presentations on both France, which certainly will be very new for everybody in the room, but also on the presentation on Ireland, we'll be giving within those presentations detail of the innovation that we'll be driving over the course of the next 12 months. But given
