Melstacorp PLC, formerly Melstacorp Limited, is engaged in managing a portfolio of holdings consisting a range of business operations, and providing function-based services to its subsidiaries and associates. The Company's segments include Beverages, Telecommunication, Plantation, Financial Services and Diversified. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is engaged in cultivation and processing of tea and rubber; business process outsourcing (BPO), knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) and software development; generation and sale of hydro electric energy; leisure; general insurance service; automobile servicing and logistics; finance, leasing, hire purchasing and factoring; investment holding; distribution of locally manufactured foreign liquor; media buying and creative services; management of real estate; technology, consulting and outsourcing services, and telecommunication services, among others. The Company's subsidiaries include Balangoda Plantations PLC and Browns Beach Hotel PLC

Analysts speculate latest subsidiary could be DCSL’s new holding company

The corporate and investor community were surprised recently by business leader Harry Jayawardena’s choice of a company called Melstacorp by acquiring a 47% controlling stake in Pelwatte Sugar Industries for Rs. 890 million.

Melstacorp was identified as a subsidiary of Distilleries Company of Sri Lanka (DCSL). It appears that this subsidiary was recently floated as it wasn’t in the DCSL Group in the 2009/10 financial year.
For some of his previous acquisitions Harry J had used existing subsidiaries such as Milford Holdings, an investment arm (for example to acquire Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation, NAMAL) as well as Distilleries directly (in the case of Lanka Hospitals Corporation). However, for Pelwatte Sugar a new subsidiary was floated.
Some speculated that the new entity may be significant in the future as it could be DCSL’s investment arm or a likely candidate to be the holding company of DCSL.
Those who respect and emulate Harry J have always maintained that phrases such as “Distilleries’ boss,” “Liquor Baron” or even the word Distilleries doesn’t fit his profile or the diversified businesses which the Group has pursued since privatisation in early 1990s. In that context Melstacorp is likely to be a better fit to reposition and re-profile Distilleries.
However, analysts said Melstacorp becoming the engine of DCSL Group of course would require a share swap or a new structuring for the entire group.
Analysts said that whilst a new structure and holding company is welcome, the brand Distilleries might be retained as it is synonymous with the liquor business.
DCSL Group, led by its flagship Distilleries Company of Sri Lanka PLC, manages one of the nation’s most successful diversified blue chip portfolios spanning beverages, telecommunications, plantations, textiles, financial services, creative and media services and automotive services.
Interestingly, none of the subsidiaries carry a group name and thus do not leverage on advertising and publicity like some other well-known brands such as Keells, Aitken Spence and Hayleys. Some believe this is because the holding company is named after an industry that does not find favour with some conservative minds.
This is the argument put forward by some who preach the branding mantra that Melstacorp is in fact going to be the brand for the distilleries.

Having got the taste of the benefits of establishing brands such as Lanka Bell and Sri Lanka Insurance in the past, Harry J may be finally going to establish a conglomerate brand that could possibly join the few but well-known conglomerate brands in the country.    
The DCSL Group is among the top five corporate conglomerates in Sri Lanka with assets in excess of Rs. 38 billion and an annual turnover of approximately Rs. 41 billion.
The DCSL website states that its origin can be traced as far back as the year 1913, when the Excise Department of Ceylon, which was initially created as the enforcement authority and to distribute and sell liquor products in Sri Lanka, branched out into the distillation and manufacture of liquor products. Later, in 1974 the State Distilleries Corporation was incorporated by statute to take over this venture while the Excise Department was reintroduced to operate as a monitoring authority.
“We are thus the inheritors of an institution that has the distinction of being the pioneer distillery in the country. We have over the course of close to a century grown to become Sri Lanka’s largest distiller who has consistently received accolades from all quarters for the enduring quality of our products. We are justifiably proud, but one of our distinguishing characteristics is the determined refusal to rest on our laurels. This is why we prefer to think of history as a living thing,” the website states.
In 1989 the State Distilleries Corporation was converted to a limited company, as per the then government’s policy to privatise State-owned enterprises. The majority stake of DCSL was sold to the highest bidder on the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) in 1992, the then largest transaction in the history of the CSE.
“DCSL has now been recognised as one of Sri Lanka’s blue chip corporate entities, a far cry from what it was in 1992,” the website adds.
DCSL subsidiaries include Balangoda Plantations PLC (43% stake), Beruwala Distillery (100%), investment company Timpex Ltd. (51%), investment company Milford Holdings (98%), Periceyl Ltd. (100%), Collision Repair Centre (100%), Bogo Power Ltd. (100%), AION SG Residencies (100%), Aitken Spence (28%), Madulsima Plantations Plc, Lanka Bell (100%), Continental Insurance Lanka Ltd. (100%) and Texpro Industries (43% group).
Apart from these, Distilleries also owns a 28% stake in diversified blue chip Aitken Spence in addition to 6.4% in DFCC Bank and 2.5% in HNB.
A fortnight ago the strategic purchase of control in Pelwatte Sugar was toasted by investors as Distilleries’ share price rose by a high Rs. 12. Last week Distilleries’ share price reached a new high of Rs. 197, beating its previous 52-week best of Rs. 195. However, the stock closed the week at Rs. 182.30, down by Rs. 3.30 from the previous week.

The stake in Balangoda amounted to 10.2 million shares done at Rs. 23.60 each (worth Rs. 240.7 million), and in Madulsima it amounted to nine million shares at Rs. 9.10 per share (Rs. 82 million). Browns Beach stake was 54.065 million shares at Rs. 13.30 (Rs. 719 million).

This is a bitter news for the minority shareholders of Distilleries. Mr Harry has transferred investments held by a listed company (DCSL) to Melstacorp a private company probably owned by him when the market is at its bottom or closed to bottom!

This is an example... I guess that we should not bother much about the investment portfolios held by the listed companies. Because that portfolio can be transferred overnight to private companies owned by major shareholders....

As Melstacorp is a 100 % subsidiary of Distilleries, no impact to minority shareholders of DIST by these transfers. In fact this is positive news for DIST shareholders as it would facillitate a value unlock for DIST equity portfolio through a spinoff of Melstacorp through a listing in the future. If you observe, DIST is not getting any premium for its substantial equity holdings in many companies. Also with the new IFRS Accounting rules changing this year, DIST will be able to mark to market its equity portfolio and hence further rationalization for creating a Melstacorp and vesting all equity holdings in it.

Very true. If you look at the listed companies in CSE. Most are just gangs of companies owned by some person or family. There's Lankem family Rajarathnam. There's Perera companies. There's Perera companies. There's Renuka companies. There's Harry companies. Those companies just do whatever the big owner wants them to do, either it be selling something cheap or giving loans at 1% interest or buying tea estates or buying betty hotels or buying owners house or garden or whatever.

Melstacorp Limited is a fully owned subsidiary of DIST. The benefits of transferring the subsidiaries of DCSL to Melstacorp are.

1. Synergies in a group brand name ... The new subsidiaries of Melstacorp include Melsta Regal Finance Limited, Melsta Logistics Ltd etc. The name 'Distilleries' cannot be used in a subsidiary and hence the group do not benefit by the advertising of subsidiaries such as Lanka Bell Ltd. There will be e benefit to the smaller companies on the recognition.

2. Building a conglomerate brand ... many foreign shareholders consider DIST as a beverage company although in 2007 almost 50% of the profits came from non -liquor sectors. (Before the loss of SLIC and Lanka Hospitals). Melstacorp will in the future be looked at like John Keells, Hemas or Aitken Spence.

Already established subsidiaries such as Lanka Bell Ltd, Continental Insurance etc. are likely to continue in their own names for obvious reasons.
