Campari Nigeria held its Annual distributors Award for the 2017 financial year on Saturday 24th March 2018 at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.
The glamorous event which was hosted by Brian Munro Limited, the sole distributor of Campari in Nigeria lived up to its billing as everyone in attendance was giving a first class treat.
Italian spirits firm Gruppo Campari reported a €1.27bn in revenue for the nine months to the end of September, an 8.1% increase over the previous year.
The company behind brands such as Campari, Skyy vodka, Aperol, among others credits its sales growth to the performance of its high margin global and regional priority brands as well as a slightly positive exchange rate effect of 0.3%, driven by the progressive strengthening of the Euro against many of the group’s trading currencies.
The company said it also benefitted from the combined perimeter effect of the Grand Marnier acquisition in July 2016, the termination of some distribution agreements and the sale of non-core businesses.
Gruppo Campari, the Italian spirits group hailed its first-half results as sales grew 13.5% to €844.7m, helped by strong growth of high-margin global priorities and regional priority brands.
The maker of SKYY vodka and Wild Turkey bourbon said that it also benefitted from a positive exchange rate effect of 1.8% as many currencies it trades in increased in valuation. The company adds that the consolidation of the Grand Marnier acquisition in July 2016 helped boost sales as well as the termination of some distribution agreements and sale of non-core businesses.
Italian spirits group Gruppo Campari reported 15% revenue growth in the first quarter of 2017 (Jan – Mar) to €376.6m ($409.8m). The group attributed its good performance to strong organic growth of its global priority and regional priority brands, a positive exchange rate effect and a perimeter effect, driven by the Grand Marnier acquisition in July 2016, which contributed €32.5m to group sales. The gains from the Grand Marnier sales partially offset declines from termination of some distribution agreements and sale of non-core businesses.
Group Pre-tax profit rose 56.7% to €53.6m in the period.
Nigeria’s rising status as a premium market for spirits was celebrated in high style on Friday 31 March 2017, when Brian Munro Limited, sole distributor of Campari in Nigeria held its Annual Distributor Awards for the 2016 financial year.

Gruppo Campari said on Tuesday that the combined effect of currency headwinds, termination of distribution agreements and sale of non-core businesses led to decline in sales and profit in the first-half of 2016.
The maker of SkYY vodka, Aperol and Cynar among others reported 1.8% decline in revenue in the six-months ended June 30 to €743.9m, down from €757.9m in the same period last year.
The spirits maker said that group net profit fell 13.8% to €67.2m, down from €77.9m made in the preceding year.
Gruppo Campari, the Italian spirits maker, which operates in Nigeria through Brian Munro Limited, reported flat sales of €327.4m in the first quarter of 2016, although, excluding the effects of currency movements, organic growth would have been 7.2%
