Stock Spirits’ Profit Rises, Sees ‘Significant’ Growth Potential

Stock Spirits Group, the biggest
vodka maker in Poland, Italy and the Czech Republic, said profit
increased 3.6 percent in 2011 against the backdrop of a
“challenging” alcohol market in central Europe.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization rose to 63.9 million euros ($84.1 million) from
61.7 million euros in 2010, the closely-held maker of Czysta de
Luxe vodka and Limonce liqueur said today in a statement.
Revenue fell to 295.1 million euros from 301.9 million euros.

“Despite the continued challenging market conditions, we
remain confident that the group is well placed to take advantage
of opportunities to grow the business further in 2012,” Chief
Executive Officer Chris Heath said in the statement.

Stock Spirits, owned by Oaktree Capital Management LLC,
completed 220 million euros of refinancing Oct. 28, allowing it
to consider potential acquisitions. The company sees
“significant opportunities” for expansion into new markets,
sales growth and acquisitions, it said today.

Market conditions are improving in Poland, the company
said. It also announced an agreement with Pinnacle Drinks
Partnership,
a British company formed last year, to distribute
select brands in the U.K. and Ireland for the first time.

Oaktree decided against an initial public offering of
Luxembourg-based Stock Spirits in June 2011. The Los Angeles-
based private-equity firm bought the distiller in 2007.
