By now we all know what Monster Beverage (MNST) gets from its tie-up with Coca-Cola (KO): A hefty chunk of change in exchange for nearly 17% of the company; Coca-Cola’s energy drink business swapped for its own soft-drink lines; and access to Coca-Cola’s international distributors. But what about Coca-Cola?
Associated PressBernstein’s Ali Dibadj explains why Coca-Cola made the deal with Monster Beverage:
We view this development positively as it gives�Coca-Cola exposure to one of the fastest growing segments of the global soft drink industry��hile category growth is clearly slowing in the U.S., the potential remains very strong internationally. Specifically, we see ex-U.S. market growth of more than +12% annually for energy drinks over the next five years, about double of what we project in the U.S. For Monster Beverage, overall growth has slowed in recent years, falling below double-digits in 2013, a far cry from hyper growth in the 2005-2007 period, as market share gains have tapered off. International sales have been a small, but growing, part of the Monster story, although the international mix stagnated last year. We expect the expanded distribution agreements resulting from this partnership to jump-start�Monster Beverage growth in many countries around the world. While�Monster Beverage will still need to negotiate distribution agreements with Coca-Cola’s overseas bottlers throughout its Global System, we think the fact that�Coca-Cola no longer owns any energy drink brands will facilitate that process by removing non-compete challenges. Our country-by-country analysis suggests that�Monster Beverage could nearly double its sales with full access to the global Coca-Cola distribution system.

One of Ceres' panels on water usage included Molson Coors' (NYSE: TAP ) Michael Glade, who pointed out a factor investors might miss. The company's efforts to "demonstrate positive practice," as Glade put it, have improved its water usage. Better water, energy, and waste practices stacked up to $10 million in savings for the beer manufacturer since 2008, and will represent another $16 million in savings through 2012. That's another example of sustainability's bottom-line boosting capabilities that accompany the feel-good component.
