RESULT UPDATE PANTALOON RETAIL Festivals cheer sales, but debt still a sore point India Equity Research| Retail Pantaloon Retail’s (PRIL) core retail performance was in line with our expectations on both revenue and PAT fronts in December 2012 quarter; 9.6% YoY sales growth got full benefit of festive season demand. Interest burden (down 0.9% YoY, 11% QoQ; 95.8% of PBIT) continued to weigh heavily on profit. Same store sales (SSS) growth at 12.7% recovered in life style retail (highest in past eight quarters; 10.8% in September 2012 quarter) and value retail at 5.1% (highest in past six quarters; 0.2% in September 2012 quarter). Weak performance continued in home retail with decline of 3.4% YoY SSS growth, (down 3.5% in September 2012 quarter). PRIL’s lifestyle SSS growth was in line with Shoppers Stop’s departmental format (12.5% YoY) while that of value retail outperformed HyperCity (mere 3% YoY). Though gross retail space addition was 0.41mn sq ft, net addition was a mere 0.02mn sq ft owing to some store closures which HUL too had highlighted (shut 1 e-Zone store, 7 BB and 1 FB store). We expect PRIL to benefit from business realignment to simplify structure; this will attract investments and sharpen focus. Maintain ‘HOLD’.

PRIL opened 2 Pantaloons, 4 Brand Factory and 3 e-Zone stores in the lifestyle segment and 6 Big Bazaar and 2 FBB stores in the value segment. At the same time in the December 2012 quarter PRIL shut 1 e-Zone store, 7 BB and 1 FB store. The store closures have been in areas where profitability has been low and in some places the old stores have been replaced by new refurbished stores in the same area. Inventory days surprisingly swell Core retail inventory days have increased to 122 days as on December 2012 from 102 days in June 2011. Debt marginally down YoY Consolidated debt has reduced to INR69.9bn as on December 2012 from INR71.5bn as on June 2011. Interest burden (down 0.8% YoY and 10.8% QoQ; 95.7% of PBIT) though contained continued to weigh heavily on profit. The sequential reduction is primarily attributable to lower cost of debt on account of renegotiation of interest rate. Outlook and valuations: Cautious; maintain ‘HOLD’ We laud PRIL’s initiative to simplify its business structure, which will sharpen focus on core retail business. We maintain CY14E target EV/sales multiple of 0.8x (PRIL is operating at low profitability thus usage of P/E or EV/EBITDA is not justified). However due to higher than expected capex in CY12 our net debt has increased leading to reduction in target price to INR242 (INR259). At CMP, the stock is trading at 0.78x CY13E and 0.73x CY14E EV/sales.

The company, entered modern retail in 1997 with the opening of its department store format Pantaloons. In 2001, PRIL launched Big Bazaar, a hypermarket chain, followed by Food Bazaar, a supermarket chain. A five format company, two years back, it now operates over 20 formats which include Central (seamless malls located in city centers), Collection I (home improvement products), Depot (books, music, gifts and stationeries), aLL (fashion apparel for plus-size individuals), Shoe Factory (footwear), and Blue Sky (fashion accessories). Investment Theme The Indian retail landscape is evolving with interplay of several demographic and economic factors. Despite the slowdown expected in real GDP growth in the near term, the long term prospects backed by changing consumer behaviour in favour of larger discretionary spend, has set the stage for a healthy growth in the retail space over the next five years. The big opportunity lies in the growing share of organised retail with the growing trend among consumers to allocate a larger share of income to consumption and gradual improvement in lifestyle. We continue to remain optimistic about PRIL’s strong presence across multiple consumption categories and its size. However, burgeoning debt and higher inventory days remain key concerns and continues to deteriorate. Key Risk Rising share of debt Going forward, the company will have to depend primarily on debt for funding growth. Steep increase in cost of borrowing can impact the profitability of the company. Slow revenue growth due to rollout delays and poor same store growth A large number of retailers are facing delays in roll outs due to delays by developers. This is a significant risk and can lead to cost overruns. The delays on account of other retailers could also impact PRIL as malls will not be viable unless all tenants are tied in. The company’s same store sales as a whole have been falling steadily due to rising competition. Continued sharp decline in the same in the future will be a risk to the company’s growth. Pressure on margins due to competition With increasing competition, catchment areas are shrinking and the PSFPAs are not scaling up as expected. Coupled with this, the shortage of quality retail space leading to spiraling rentals, underdeveloped supply chain, and rising employee costs, which could add to the cost and impact the company’s margins. Macro slowdown Macro concerns could hamper domestic consumption trends and result in lower footfalls. 5 Edelweiss Securities Limited Retail Financial Statements Key Assumptions Year to December Income statement FY11 CY12 CY13E CY14E FY11 CY12 CY13E CY14E Net revenue Materials costs 110,123 79,010 180,239 126,978 115,662 81,542 128,342 90,481 Employee costs 4,883 7,660 4,916 5,455 Electricity expenses 1,831 3,154 2,082 2,374 Rent and lease expenses 7,474 13,157 8,212 9,112 Company Advertisement & sales costs 2,485 4,145 2,602 2,888 Revenue growth (Y-o-Y %) Other Expenses 4,840 9,012 5,667 6,160 16,131 10,641 11,872 Macro GDP(Y-o-Y %) Inflation (Avg) 8.4 9.9 6.5 8.8 5.5 7.8 6.5 6.0 Repo rate (exit rate) 6.8 8.5 7.5 6.8 45.6 47.9 54.5 54.0 USD/INR (Avg) Growth (Value) Growth (Lifestyle) No. of stores -
