Primo's Merger With BlueTriton Targets Cost Synergy, but Moat Is Elusive in Competitive Water Market

Dan Su

As a pure-play water provider, Primo Water has built a solid product portfolio and manufacturing and distribution footprint to tap rising demand for better-quality drinking water in North America. However, we remain skeptical that the firm benefits from any durable competitive edge based on brand intangibles or cost advantages, given the lack of differentiation and intense local competition in the water category.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

As a pure-play large-format water solutions provider, Primo Water should benefit as residential and business clients seek better-quality water amid rising wellness awareness and concerns about municipal water.

Bears

Primo Water competes in the commoditized water market where a lack of differentiation results in low entry barriers and intense competition.

Company Profile

Primo Water is a pure-play water provider with a variety of products and services, including water delivery, exchange, refill/filtration, and water dispensers. Its operations are concentrated in North America following the divestiture of most of its international business, which has struggled to turn a profit. The firm usually initiates the customer relationship with the sale of water dispensers, and then generates recurring revenue via the water direct and exchange services (two thirds of total sales) by delivering large-format (typically three gallons or greater) water bottles to residential and commercial customers for use atop or inside the dispensers.
