The main contribution to the growth of the net profit of X5 Retail Group since 2011 is to work on the Pyatyrochka trade border, mainly for the growth of the number of stores and retail space along the border.

The average bill for pouches in 2017 increased slightly, by 0.16% and became 382.50 rubles.

The dynamics of the number of purchases has been growing since 2013; in 2017, the number of purchases was 25.28% versus 24.48% in 2016.

Analyzing the dynamics of flat sales (LFL), it is significant that an increase in traffic is expected for all three main formats. Moreover, the growth of LFL traffic of X5 Retail Group became a record in 2012, increasing to 3.00% in 2017 growth versus 2.50% in 2016 growth.

Yak for life (LFL) One of the important methods for analyzing sales in the retail trade in the minds of the growing number of stores. This indicator equalizes the sales obligations of the in-line market to the previous year; during the LFL expansion, only stores that have been operating for at least 12 months will be insured. Meta-display - turn on the influx of seasonality, identify the reasons for the decrease in turnover and the flow of buyers, and also predict the dynamics of sales in future periods.

Sales revenue per store has been steadily decreasing since 2011; in 2017, the average revenue per store was 106.17 million rubles, which is 5.14% lower than the 2016 value. The net profit from sales per one store for pouches in 2017 decreased by 13.55% compared to 2016 and amounted to 2.14 million rubles. In 2015, net profit per store increased by 5.94%.

Financial displays

At the end of 2017, the company disclosed unaudited financial results for the 3rd quarter and 9 months of 2017. Gross income from pods in 9 months increased by 24.89% compared to the same period in 2016 and amounted to 222.99 billion rubles, against 178.55 billion rubles in 2016. Gross profitability per bag for 9 months of 2017 was 23.89% versus 24.10% for the same period in 2016.

The EBITDA figure for the 9 months of 2017 increased by 28.44% to the same period last year and reached 72.39 billion rubles. The EV/EBITDA multiplier value was 6.17, versus 8.82 in 2016. The EBITDA margin for the 9 months of 2017 became 7.76% versus 7.60% for the 9 months of 2016.

Net income from pouches in the 9 months of 2017 increased by 30.69% and amounted to 25.97 billion rubles, compared to 19.87 billion rubles for the same period earlier. The value of the P/I multiplier became 20.02 roki, for the company “Magnit” after a significant drop in the exchange rate of shares, the value of the P/I multiplier became 13.91 roki, which is significantly lower and looks good.

In the spring of 2017, Naglyadova Rada of X5 Retail Group confirmed its first dividend policy. In advance of the new dividend policy, Borgov's attention is of greater importance. Since the Net Debt /EBITDA ratio is less than or more than 2.0, the level of dividend payments is within the range of 25% of net income, which is covered by the consolidated financial position of the MSF Z. The first dividends of the company's shareholders can be withdrawn as early as 2017, the dividend yield can become 1.50 to 2.00%, which, in our opinion, is positive for the company's shareholders.

Due to the strong forward operating indicators of the X5 Retail Group company, we are aware of the increase in the financial indicators of ISFZ in 2017. Group X5, and in the face of increased competition, is demonstrating an aggressive rate of growth. The company's shares can be added to the average investment portfolio, often not more than 7%. The release of the financial results of the ISFZ for 2017, in our opinion, will help increase the capitalization of the company. An additional driver for the growth of the company's shares may be the announcement of the first dividend payments to its shareholders. In addition, listing on the Moscow Exchange increases the chances of inclusion in the MCSI index, which will lead to an influx of capital in GDR X5 from the side of great investors. The growth potential is estimated conservatively at 22% (target RUB 2,460-2,480 per NDR).

I took over the position of the head director of the 2015 leaf fall, replacing Stéphane Ducharme, who worked on this plant for three years. During that period, with the support of the directors, of which I was a member, the company's management carried out a large-scale program to change the positioning of the X5 Retail Group and the trading range that was included in its warehouse. The new strategy has transferred the formation of a flexible multi-format business model, which will ensure the growth and adaptation to changes in the needs of Russian buyers, as well as the careful development of the principles of effective business gostrokovy development.

I am proud to announce that in three years the company has been able to successfully implement its goals, including in the minds of the tense macroeconomic situation of the remaining repeaters of the destiny. Regardless of the fact that in 2015 the X5 company achieved record results for the company due to low performance, to assess the effectiveness of strategic changes it is necessary to take into account the achievements of the remaining three factors:

  • Viruchka in 2012-2015: Growth by 64.7% to 808.8 billion rubles.
  • Store sales in 2012–2015: increase by 37.6% to 2.5 billion sales
  • Retail space in 2012–2015: increase by 69.2% to 3,333 thousand. m 2
  • Number of stores in 2012–2015: increase by 84.6% to 7020
  • X5 stores are represented in nine Russian federal districts, reaching 88% of the region's population.

Having achieved truly significant results, the company was able to become a leader in the rate of growth, surpassing the ten largest companies in the Russian food and gas market.

achieving strategic goals

In 2015, X5 Retail Group achieved significant results in its five main strategic objectives:

Multi-format operating model: We were able to lead stores of three main formats onto the trajectory of self-sustaining growth. Thus, the net sales of the Pyatyrochka measure, a value proposition that better meets the needs of buyers that have changed, increased by 34.3%; the winning margin of the “Crossroads” - by 12.5%, and the winning margin of “Carousel” - by 11.6%, up from 2014. Thus, the rate of growth in X5 trading revenues significantly exceeded the market's performance indicators for the growth of general merchandise turnover in Russia by a total of 8.3%.

In 2015, the sales area of ​​the P'yatirochka stores increased by 668.4 thousand. m2 will also open 1,476 new stores, which is a record high not only for X5, but also for the Russian retail market as a whole. Merezhi "Perekrestok" and "Carousel" also continued their expansion, adding 75 and 8 new stores. The net trading area of ​​the Perekrestok junction increased by 68.2 thousand. m2, “Carousel” borders - by 31.5 thousand. m2.

Increased value proposition: skins from formats X5 orientations of the singing group of the population of Russia and the starry rock are actively working on adapting their value proposition to the minimal needs of buyers and intelligent market minds, so that In other words, it allowed us to maximize the share of expenses of buyers and the market share of the company.

A deeper understanding of customer needs and production capacity are adjusted to the changes that are expected that would be impossible without involving all departments of the company's IT systems that allow for accurate analysis market conditions and provide greater external visibility into buyer advances and pricing trends.

Balanced growth: In healthcare, it is clear that there is a low representation of current subdivisions on the market; in order to achieve our goals, we may rely most heavily on the potential of organic growth. Our traders have a wealth of Galouzean evidence on the development of business in all formats and are one of the best experts on the market in such matters as determining the optimal location for growing a store and promptly opening new facilities. c, the reconstruction work is carried out by closing the store for a minimum period.

To select new locations, we develop stores using new analytical technologies and, in addition, we have staff resources to carry out the acquisition of land plots and the daily life of retail facilities. This allows us to quickly make decisions, control spending and open new stores quickly. Despite the fact that the company is focused on organic growth, X5 also has wide opportunities to participate in the interests of growth and expansion, so that it can quickly enter the market of a new region or increase its position in the main regions ions of presence.

Efficiency of operational activities: The continued growth that the company has achieved has resulted in high standards of operational efficiency and continuous work on advancements and efficiency. X5 Retail Group is one of the largest SAP customer solutions in the retail trade sector: our innovative IT platform allows you to analyze data on billions of purchases in real time. Finance department managers play an important role in the control and analysis of key indicators of the effectiveness of our formats and competitors, as well as in the increased accuracy of forecasting.

In addition, we have achieved a significant increase in transport and logistics efforts due to the increase in the efficiency of the work of separate departmental centers and the resulting increase in the capacity of the transport fleet.

Highly qualified employee: One of the most important factors for our success is the achievement of the pharmaceutical industry, which defines the trading boundaries of skin formats and the X5 corporate center. Having grown up with the obligations of the head and new director, I believe that the company will not slow down the pace of growth due to the first-class representatives of the X5 Retail Group. For the number of months that I worked together with Stefan Ducharme during his transition to the Posad of Head Naglyadova, I became the greatest equal to the professionalism of the X5 military officers.

the situation in Galusia

Regardless of the decline in most of the main economic indicators of Russia, our company has achieved significant growth. In our opinion, the difficult economic situation will continue throughout 2016 and into 2017.

Prices for chicken products will continue to rise, and the growth of real wages will increase or change to decreases. This leads to a reduction in spending on groceries in the budget of shoppers and influences the behavior of shoppers, who are trying to get skin care at a store that costs less, searching for the most attractive propositions, choosing cheaply. Our products make great purchases.

Similar trends are emerging not only in the company’s work, but also in the situation in the field of retail sales of halves. However, X5 is ready for such folding machines: our multi-format operating model allows us to cover different social classes of the population of Russia, and constant work on optimizing the value proposition of trade measures makes it possible to satisfy consumers buyers who change, from the skin class.

X5 will not provide every Russian with the ability to buy products in current stores, which guarantee access to essential goods at reasonable prices, and this itself becomes our main advantage, especially when working with companions, who are the most vulnerable not to negative changes in the economy. Therefore, we have increased the number of promotions and expanded the range of goods in the lower price segment, and, as part of supporting the most diverse groups of buyers, pensioners are now aware of the possibility of receiving socially significant benefits. products at special prices, so you don’t miss the discounts that you already get in our stores.

In the long-term perspective, we maintain an optimistic view of the development of the Russian market of retail trade, with some traditional trade formats and small regional measures gradually coming to fruition in the hands of the leading traders. rinku.

prospects

Regardless of the difficult economic situation, X5's results in 2015 completely surpassed those of the ten largest Russian retailers and the market with a lead in which profitability was saved on the target market. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we ranked first among public companies in the divisional trading for the rate of growth of net divisional profit, which created a special basis for the improvement of the company's position in 2016 roci.

The current market environment for us is an hour of new opportunities that we plan to effectively capitalize on in the future for the strategic growth and further development of the company.

To this day, we have already achieved significant success in transforming our business, but we do not plan to rest on our achievements. Our strategic priorities include improving the operating model, increasing operational efficiency, reducing value propositions, and, obviously, preserving leading positions in the market in the minds of oh the transition from the traditional to the daily format of trading.

One of the most important tasks for me is the development of the X5 corporate center, not only in terms of increasing the efficiency of managing our brands, but in the context of expanding its capabilities to improve the potential of the flow situation in the sector with maximum good for the company.

We have modernized the IT infrastructure and continue to promote innovative technological solutions in all divisions of the company, which can be positively reflected in the performance indicators of our robots, as well as the accuracy of the forecast. There are no problems with the behavior of Russian companions. We will also continue to develop transport and logistics infrastructure so that further increases in efficiency can be achieved.

We are growing our business and adapting to the needs of our clients for the benefit of all parties involved: buyers to find the optimal value proposition, and customers to be able to sell goods and through large divisions, and shareholders benefit from participation in a stable, growing business of such a scale.

I would like to thank our customers once again, whose loyalty is the guarantee of our success, as well as our customers, shareholders and members of Naglyadova for the sake of the company for the encouragement they gave us to our fate.

In addition, I would like to commend the management and the entire team of X5 Retail Group for their highly professional work and outstanding performance in line with the previous tasks. Our new products are the basis for the success of X5 Retail Group today and in the future, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work on a new plant in such a team over the creation and development of the largest food retailer in Russia.

Company news

Today, the largest Russian food retailer X5 (В2/ВВ/ВВ+/АА) has opened an order book for the addition of 15-year exchange-traded bonds of series 001Р-04 in the amount of 5 billion rubles. The structure of the issuer transferred the offer in 2.5 years. The indicative range of the coupon rate according to the organizers is 8.6-8.7% of market prices, which translates into the profitability of the put option at the YTP level of 8.78-8.89% of market prices (spread to OFZ 88-99 bp).

Bond valuation. The emerging issuer came out of the initial proposal in the spring of last year by also placing paper 15-note bonds series 001Р-03 (with an offer in two years) with a coupon rate of 6.95%. At the moment, papers are trading below par with a YTP profit of 8.89% of the river (premium to the sovereign curve at 120 bp). The recently released issue of the 001Р-02 series now shows a gain of approximately 9.0%, which translates into a spread to the OFZ also of 120 bp. Based on this, the fate of those located on marketed areas (YTP8.78-8.89) does not look bad. At the same time last year, another large federal product measure, Magnit, was able to close the order book for territorial bonds at richly lower levels of coarse benchmarks (coupon 8.9-9.1%). The yield to maturity was at YTM 8.89% (premium up to OFZ 95 bp). With the assurance of a slightly stronger credit profile of X5 (for the scale of the business and the aggregate of credit ratings), as well as a good return for investors on the bonds of certain issuers, it is possible to fully appreciate that the book will be where it is closed close to the lower limit of the range of bubbliness.

The growth of the retailer's quarterly revenue for 2K amounted to 27.7% y/y, with the largest contribution being made by stores in the "P'yatyrochka" format: the growth of the quarterly profit for stores of this format was 31.9% y/y.

And for the sake of an aggressive policy, it is necessary to expand the border (so that in mind there is a possible cannibalization of traffic). We would like to remind you that X5’s closest competitor for the rate of quarterly revenue growth is Strichka, based on the published operating data, the retailer is under the strong pressure of traffic cannibalization, and the company has demonstrated negative results Well, the dynamics of equal sales per division under the leader X5. REALLY POSITIVE

Warto means that the market as a whole has benefited from the positive operating data from X5. Timing is no less, at the time of publication the papers grew by at least 3%, but then the retailer’s papers sank a little and began to trade at a premium of 0.5-1%, equal to the closing price.
