CHAPTER 2 COMPANY PROFILE
Tesco Plc is headquartered in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom. It is a
British multinational grocery and general merchandise retailer. It was founded by Jack
Cohen in 1919 as a group of market stalls. The name Tesco was appeared in 1924 after
Cohen purchased a shipment of tea from T.E Stockwell and combined those initials with
the first two letters of his surname Tesco is the worlds second largest retailer measured
by profits and third largest retailer measured by revenue. Tesco is listed on the London
Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. It had a market capitalisation
of approximately 24.4 billion as of 15 January 2012, the 15th-largest of any company
with a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange. (Source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesco). Tesco is operating all over 14 countries and also
employing almost 530000 people and serving millions of people every week in stores
and online.
Tesco international operations are in Europe, Asia and United States. Subsidiaries of
Tesco are Tesco Stores Ltd, Tesco Bank and Tesco mobile. Tesco plc has grown through
organic and in-organic growth in the past. Organic growth is when a company strives to
increase its output/production in order to attain greater profits. In this the company
does not expand by means of mergers or acquisitions but carries on its course of
business. This is generally termed as the most reliable way of growth for the companies.
It is also a prime indicator of how effectively the management has used it resources. The
company benefits from increased revenue which could refer to an increase in customer
base and market share. Organic growth does not need outside investment and is safer
than brisk growth. This is due to the tried and tested business models where the profits
are reinvested into the company avoiding outside sources of finance.
Vision
The characteristics which are central to the vision of the business are, they built around
customers and colleagues, high-quality assets around the world and multiple opportunities

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS:
Strengths
1. Tesco holds a 13% share of the UK
retail market. Its multi-format
capability means that it will continue
to grow share in food, while
increasing space contribution from
hypermarkets will allow it to drive a
higher share in non-food.
2. Tesco has grown its non-food
division to the extent that its
revenues now total 23% of total
group earnings. Tescos international businesssegment is growing steadily, and is predicted
to contribute nearly a quarter of group profits over the next five years. If geographical
spread continues to grow, this will ensure Tescos continued regional strength.
3. Tesco.com is the worlds biggest online supermarket and this year the group had sales of
over 577 million, an increase of 29% on last year. Tesco online now operates in over 270
stores around the country, covering 96% of the UK. With over a million households
nationwide having used the companys online services, the company has a strong platform
to further develop this revenue stream.
4. Profits for Tescos operations in Europe, Asia and Ireland increased by 78% during the last
fiscal year. The company has a strong brand image, and is associated with good quality,
trustworthy goods that represent excellent value. Tescos innovative ways of improving the
customer shopping experience, as well as its efforts to branch out into finance and
insurance have also capitalized on this.
5. Tesco has developed a successful multiformat strategy that has accelerated itsadvantage. Its UK sales are now 71% larger than Sainsburys. Also the Competition

Commissions report makes it very difficult for a competitor to challenge its scale and has
effectively scuppered Wal-Marts chances of stealing UK leadership. Therefore, Tesco is in
an enormously strong position in its domestic market.
Market share and performance of Tesco when compared to competitors
According to the news reported in the The Gauardian dated 19th
Novemeber 2013 ,
Britain's four biggest supermarkets all lost market share for the first time in at least a
decade over the last three months as they continue to be squeezed by discounters and
upmarket grocers.
Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons all lost ground to cut-price competitors led by Aldi
and Lidl, which over the most recent weeks have together accounted for nearly 7% of the
grocery market, according to the latest data from Kantar Worldpanel. Almost a third of
British households visited a German-owned Aldi discount store in recent weeks. At the same
time sales of the big supermarkets' luxury ranges have all been growing fast as squeezed
shoppers try to treat themselves without eating out.
Releasing Sainsbury's half year results last
week, King repeatedly pointed out that
Sainsbury's was the only one of the "big four"
grocers to increase market share in the past
year. While the supermarket continues to
increase sales at 2.6%a much stronger pace
than major rivals Tesco, Asda and Morrisons
even Sainsbury's growth fell short of the
overall market growth of 3.2%. It also looked weedy in comparison to impressive growth
from Lidl and Aldi .

Aldi's sales rose a spectacular 31.1% in the 12 week period, compared to the same period a
year before, while Lidl stepped up its growth to 13.8%. Much of Aldi's growth is coming
from new storesbut they are attracting shoppers away from the bigger grocers.
Over the past year, Aldi and Lidl have added nearly 1 percentage point of market share in
the UKequivalent to about 1bntaking their total grip on the market to nearly 7%. Aldi
has led the way in stealing shoppers from rivals, particularly Tesco and Asda, according to
research by analysts Verdict released 2013.
The major supermarkets are also losing market share to premium players Waitrose and
Marks & Spencer, both of which have ambitious plans to open new stores. Waitrose saw an
8.8% rise in sales in the 12 week period, contributing to an unbroken rise in market share
since 2009, according to Kantar.
The retailer is benefiting from an increasing interest in the quality of food in the wake of the
horse meat scandal which broke early this year.
Aldi and Lidl are trying to attract more up-market customers with advertising campaigns
promoting luxury items such as Serrano ham and fresh lobster for Christmas. Lidl launched
its first ever British television advertising campaign this month, several days before any of
the major grocers' festive ads hit the small screen.

Liquidity Ratios
Liquidity is the capacity of the firm to meets its current liabilities as they fall due.
The following are the important liquidity ratios:
Current Ratio: Current ratio is the most common ratio for calculating liquidity. It signifiesthe ratio of current asset to current liabilities. It is also called working capital ratio.
Current ratio = Current Asset/ Current Liabilities
Year 2012 (Amt in m) 2013(Amt in m)
Current Ratio 12,863/19,249 0.67times 13,096/18,985 0.69
times
Interpretation
The standard norm of current ratio is 2:1, it is considered as an ideal one. So the currentratio of Tesco is not satisfactory. The bve figureshows that the trend in the current ratio
does not reach the standard; low ratio indicates inadequate working capital. Current ratio of
Tesco has a slight increase as compared to the previous year i.e. from 0.67 to 0.69 which
means that Tescos ability to pay its short term debt is increasing.
Quick Ratio: Quick ratio is also known as Acid Test Ratio or Liquidity Ratio. It is therelationship between quick assets to current liabilities.
Quick ratio = (Current asset-stock)/ Current Liabilities

Interpretation
The satisfactory level of Quick ratio is considered as 1:1. But the ratio level in both years are
less than 1:1 which means the quick assets does not have the ability to pay off their
liabilities. A company would not want their quick ratio less than 1:1 because this period may
badly affect the ability to pay off their current debt.
Financial Risk/Working Capital Management Ratios
Stock Turnover Ratio: This ratio shows whether investment in inventory is efficientlyused or not. It explains whether investment in inventories is within proper limits or
not. There is no standard ratio for inventory turnover. Each field and kind of business
has its own standard.
Stock Turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold/Average stock
Year 2012 (Amt in m) 2013 (Amt in m)
Stock turnover 58519/3,598 16.26
times
60737/3,744 16.22
times
Interpretation
Tesco is doing a good job in managing their inventories. Comparing with the previous year
there is a slight difference in the ratio. There is no standard ratio for the inventory turnover.
The ratio levels relatively close to each other, so the difference in the ratio level cannot be
considered as low.
Stock days: It shows how many days of stock (inventory) are held on average.Stock days = Number of days in a year/Stock turnover
Year 2012 (Amt in m) 2013 (Amt in m)
Stock days 365/16.26 22.45days

Profitability ratios
Gross Profit Ratio: The ratio expresses the relationship between gross profit andsales. The ratio helps in determining whether the average percentage of mark up on
the goods is maintained or not.
Gross profit ratio = Gross profit/ net sales*100
2012 (Amt in m) 2013 (Amt in m)
Gross Profit 5397 4089
Sales 63916 64826
Year 2012 (Amt in m) 2013 (Amt in m)
Gross profitmargin 5,397/63,916*100 8.44% 4,089/64,826*100 6.31%
Interpretation
The table shows the gross profit ratio reduced in 2013. It indicates that the company
was not much successful in managing their operations than the previous year. The
decrease in the gross profit ratio is due to the increase in the cost of goods without
a corresponding increase in the selling price of the goods sold.
Net Profit Ratio : This ratio is also called as the net profit to sales or net profitmargin ratio. This ratio is used to measure the overall profitability of the business.
Net profit margin = Net profit before tax/Sales*100
2012 (Amt in m) 2013 (Amt in m)
Net profit before tax 4038 1960
Sales 63916 64826

Net Profit
margin
4038/63,916*100 6.31% 1,960/64,826*100 3%
Interpretation
Net profit margin is the indicator of how efficient a company is and how well it
controls its costs. The Net profit margin of Tesco in 2013 is reduced; it shows that
the efficiency of the company is lesser in comparison with the previous year. The lowprofit margin indicates the low margin of safety.

Comparative financial statement analysis
The preparation of comparative financial statements is an important device of horizontal
financial analysis. Financial data becomes more meaningful when compared with similar
data for a previous period or a number of prior periods. These statements are very helpful in
measuring the effects of the conduct of a business during the period under consideration.
Comparative Balance SheetThe comparative Balance sheet analysis is the study of the trend of the similar items,
collection of items and computed items in two or more Balance Sheets of the same business
enterprise on different dates. The changes in the periodic Balance sheet items reflect the
conduct of the business. The changes can be observed by comparison of the balance sheet
at the beginning and at the end of the period and these changes can help in forming an
opinion about the progress of the enterprise.
Table 6 explain Comparative Balance sheet of Tesco Plc
Interpretation
The comparative Balance sheet shows the increase or decrease of the assets and liabilities
and the amount of increase or decrease. If the current assets increases and current liabilities
decrease the cash will decrease and if the current assets decreases and current liabilities
increase the cash will increases here the current asset increased by 1.81%. Fixed assets
reduced in 2013 compared to the previous year by 3.23% In case of current liabilities, there
is a decrease of 1.37% so there is also decrease in the cash. Non-current assets were
reduced by.036
Comparative Income StatementComparative Income Statement is a statement prepared to get an idea of the progress of a
business over a period of time. The changes in absolute data in money values and
percentages can be determined to analyse the profitability of a business.
Refer Table 7 : represent Comparative Income Statement of Tesco Plc
Interpretation
The table shows that the net sale was increased by 1.42%in 2013 and the cost of sales also
increased. Gross profit rate was decreased by 24.24%. Operating profit and net profit also
decreased by 48% and 95.73 respectively in 2013.It shows that the profitability of the
company was not in a good condition.

Common Size statement analysis
Common size statements are prepared to show the relationship of different individual items
with some common items. These are the comparative statements that give only the vertical
percentage ratio for financial data without giving rupee values.
Common Size Balance SheetIt is a statement in which Balance sheet items are expressed as percentage of each asset to
total of assets and percentage of each liability to total of liabilities.
Refer table 8 Common Size Balance Sheet of Tesco Plc
Interpretation
In common sizeanalysis the percentage of each assets are calculatedto its total assets and
liabilities to the total liabilities. In 2012 the percentage of fixed asset is 66.7% of total assets
and in 2013 the percentage is 65.5. In the case of current assets the percentages is 33.34
and 34.49 in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Current liabilities are of 51.95% in 2012 and
53.26% in 2013.
Common Size Income Statement
A Common Size Income Statement is a statement in which each item of expense is shown as
a percentage of net sales. A significant relationship can be established between items of
income statement and volume of sales. Increase in sales will certainly increase the selling
expense not the administration and financial expenses which are mostly fixed in nature. In
case the volume of sales increases to a considerable extent, administration and financial
expenses may also go up.
Refer table 9 Common Size Income Statement of Tesco Plc
Interpretation
Each item in common size income statement is expressed as a percentage of net sales.
Gross profit is of 8.44% of net sales in 2012 and 6.31 % in 2013. Operating profits are of 0
.26% and 0.27% in 2012 and 2013 respectively. The profit of the year is 4.40% in 2012 and
0.01% in 2013.

The impact on group trading profit is as follows :
UK (8.3) %
Asia (10.3)%
Eureope (37.8)%
Tesco Bank (15.1)%

13_results_statement.pdf
Group trading profit declined by (13.0)%, reflecting investment in the UK, the impact of
regulatory changes in South Korea and the challenging economic conditions in Europe. This
trading performance coupled with reduced JV income and higher net finance costs led to a
decline in Group underlying profit before tax of (14.5)%
According to Philip Clarke, the Chief Executive of Tesco group, the main objective of the
group is set out for sustainable and disciplined growth. The business environment in UK
remains controllable in nature even though faced a small discernible impact on frozen and
chilled convience food sales. But outside the UK the business environment remain
challenging especially in regulatory matters.
UK
Tesco have made the investment as they planned and it has led to a clear improvement in
their performance, both in absolute terms and relative to the market. Total sales rose by
2.6% excluding petrol, and like-for-like performance improved during the course of the year.
The plan laid out by Tesco last year had described the impact of the investment in terms of a
rebasing of trading margin to 5.2% and the progress they have made in the UK has been
achieved whilst delivering a margin absolutely in line with these expectations.
Asia
The performance of Asia was in line with expectations and was dominated by the South
Korean regulatory changes concerning trading hours. Sales of Asia were reduced by 0.2% i.e.
from the constant rate of 6.1% to 5.9%. Asias revenue (excluding VAT, impact of IFRIC 13)
was also have fluctuated from the constant rate of 6.2% to 6.0%.
Europe

macroeconomic uncertainties continued to impact businesses. This had a particularly
marked impact on the general merchandise businesses across the region, holding back the
overall like-for-like sales performance.
Tesco Bank
Tesco made progress through the year in banking products, with good growth in both
customer accounts and balances. Our insurance business was held back by a very
challenging market, with strong downward price pressure in motor insurance. Throughout
this period, we focused on ensuring we offer the best products and prices to our loyal Club
card customers.
In recent years, the Banks profit has been impacted by a couple of non-trading factorsthe
first, fair value releases and the second, the run-off of our legacy insurance agreement with
Direct Line Group. Before these, profits grew well and are up 13% with a particularly
pleasing performance in customer lending.Tesco Bank

Evaluation on share price :
Tesco reported weak trading figures for the vital Christmas period with UK like-for-like sales
falling 2.4%. The market expected sales to decline on average by 1.5% so this result is worse
than expected and comes against the backdrop of strong sales growth at rival, Sainsburys,
who reported a 0.2% rise in third quarter like-for-like sales yesterday.
The market range for Tesco sales performances was between a 0.5% fall and 2.5% fall and so
their performance lies at the very bottom end of market forecasts.The UK performance was
impacted by a weaker grocery market and a tough comparative.
Tesco now expects to report full year results in line with the current market consensus range,
which is 3.15bn to 3.41bn (mean estimate 3.33bn.
Tesco also suffered declines in like for like sales internationally by -2.2%, a figure which wasnegatively impacted byforeign exchange movements. BeforeFX impact, sales declined by
0.6% internationallywith trading in Asia falling by 0.6% and Europe declining 0.8%.
Trading Tesco shares
Spread betting andCFD trading Tesco shares of late has been somewhat of a challenge. The
failure to break above the 390p level over much of 2013 added pressure on the stock, and
traders were happy to short the share price back down to support levels of around 320p.
