Expansion to counter rising competition

• A success story - The journey of Jarir marketing company (Jarir) started with the opening of a retail store dates back in 1974 and a wholesale store in 1979; where both stores were primarily dealing in the sale of stationeries and school supplies. The company, in the past, continued to grow through its unique business strategy and quick response to the change (in KSA socio & economic environment). Thus, these factors played vital role to evolve Jarir in KSA as among the market leaders in wholesale and retail industry of related products. Following the successful operation in the local market, the company started to expand its focus geographically in the GCC region, where the customers’ demography, preferences and needs are identical to the local market. Consequently, at present, a single store company has now transformed into a regional retailer & wholesaler of generic and verity of specialty products including electronics and others. According to the company’s investors’ presentation Dec-2011, Jarir is ranked among the top 100 companies in KSA and top 10 most recognized brand names in the Middle East in 2011.

• Operational details - The company’s operational structure is mainly based on two divisions i.e. wholesale and retail. Initially these two divisions were operating separately but later on these were merged and shared internal resources to form Jarir in 2000. The company’s retail & wholesale operation is based on 35 stores (5 wholesale & 30 retail) covering area of 1,036,000ft2 (Sep-2011 investor presentation), 4 corporate offices and 7 sales offices inside KSA & across the GCC region. In addition, these divisions are utilizing a central warehouse & distribution center (covering area of 330,000 ft2 and expandable to 750,000 ft2) located in Riyadh.

• Product offerings, alliances and customer base - Based on the given information, the company is offering a wide range of products including school & office stationeries/supplies, education aids & books, PCs & laptops, PCs & laptop accessories, digital electronics & video games and smart phones & PC tablet. According to the given information, the company has strong relationships with worldwide leading brands and companies particularly in PCs segment. Moreover, Jarir has a strong and well-diversified wholesale customer base, which includes oil companies, banks, government and health care.

• Emerging competitive environment in KSA retail sector - Saudi Arabia is the largest retail market in the GCC with the estimated market size of USD69.0bn-USD70.6bn in 2011 and expected to reach at USD76bn-USD78bn in 2012, according to EIU1 & Jones Lang LaSalle2. We believe the growth in local sector is heavily relied on the (i) high concentration of relatively young people (age ranging 15-39 years) in the total population, (ii) customers are generally categorized as the early adopters, (iii) low retail space/capita in Jeddah & Riyadh, (iv) rising brand and quality awareness among the customers, (v) limited entertainment facilities and (vi) strong spending power. Hence, we believe these factors will lead to increase entry barriers for small retailers and limit the survival to those players who will be able to remain pro-active to adopt changes and offer unique mix of services to the local customers.

• Potential evolution in books market - Recently, the world was introduced with e-books (like Amazon’s Kindle). Although the technology is not widely tested but we believe the introduction of such innovation in Saudi market will lead to a new era in books retail business.

• Competition for Jarir - Based on the wide-range of product offering and expected growth in the local retail sector, we believe the level of competition for the company will vary from segment to segment. Similarly,

MARCH2012

the entry of other renowned retailers in smart products (smart phones & PC tablets), laptops and other digital electronics will lead to a stiff competition. Since office/school supplies/stationary market inside KSA is much saturated so the level of competition in this segment could be of intermediate level. In addition, we believe the introduction of kindles (as discussed earlier) will be a big challenge for the company to maintain its local as well as regional dominance in the books segment.

• Diversified expansion in operational coverage will lead to enhance customer visit - At present, the company has already been contracted for the opening of 8 new stores (6 in KSA & 2 in Kuwait) till 2013-14 to enhance its coverage in new areas and strengthen its presence in existing location. We believe the given expansion plan will help the company to (i) attract more customers at new locations inside the Kingdom and (ii) make convenient for customers to visit the store. Hence, customers’ annual visit is expected to reach at 28mn in 2015 with a CAGR of 6.2%, during 2010-15. In addition, besides these stores Jarir is still under-negotiation to open 8 new stores, which are not included in our valuation since the company has not finalized these proposed expansions.

• Financial growth - Based on the company’s given expansion plans (discussed earlier) and strong presence in smart products market, we expect sales revenue to increase at a CAGR of 10.6%, during 2011-15 and gross profit margin reach at 16.1% in 2015. On other the hand, the company’s net profit is expected to increase at a CAGR of 11.3%, during 2011-15; where net profit margin is expected to reach at 12.7% in 2015.

• Investment consideration – By employing discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation methodology we arrived at a DCF based 12-month target price of SAR153/share for the company. This indicates the company is trading at a premium of 0.6% to the market price of SAR154/share (as of 19th March 2012) with a prospective 2012 P/E & P/BV of 15.9x and 8.5x, respectively. We, therefore, initiate our coverage on Jarir with Neutral recommendation.

Keynote to the valuation

We are not using relative valuation, at present, because of the following reasons:

i. Jarir is more domestic and regional play rather than international.

ii. International players are suffering from recession; while Jarir is expanding mainly in local market to untapped the opportunities

iii. The local and regional retail market dynamics i.e. mainly demographic factors and spending habits are much different from Western countries

MARCH2012

• Failure to respond appropriately - The retail industry around the globe has emerged as one of the most dynamic industries, where the pace of change is similar to the change in pace of technology. This is mainly due to the rapid increase in customers’ awareness. Hence, this indicates the big challenge for the retailers, unlike in the past, is to maintain the loyalty of customers, which could change with better technology. We believe KSA retail industry growth is in an advanced phase, where the customers’ spending power is high (so the pace of change in preferences/need is high) and success is relied on the unique offerings and quick response to any major shift. Hence, based on our understanding, any failure or even late response to adopt new technology could lead to massive dent on Jarir’ future growth.

• Lower than expected conversion rate - Conversion rate is one of the most crucial indicators to judge the performance of retail business, which is the number of sales transaction to the number of visiting customers. It is worthy to mention that maintaining or improving conversion rate is one of the major challenges for any retailer in dynamic & competitive environment. Similarly, it will be a main challenge for Jarir to maintain the conversion rate without compromising much on profitability margin to continue its growth in a highly competitive environment. Hence, any major deviation in conversion rate from our estimated levels could raise alarm on the company’s valuation and future growth.

• Intensive price war - We believe the entry of big retail names in the company’s related markets, especially in PCs & smart product markets, could lead to an intensive price war. Though we have already incorporated this factor in our valuation but we cannot rule out the possibility of more than expected intensive price war. This could lead to the subsequent downward revision in the average basket price from our current expectations, while the impact will further translate into lower than expected profitability margins. Thus, this will make negative impact on the company’s valuation and expected growth.

Discounted cash flows (DCF) Valuation

The following are key basic steps & assumptions we are using to value Jarir on DCF:

� 4-years forecasted free cash flows (FCF).

� Terminal value calculation based on the Gordon Growth Model (GGM).

¾ Expecting terminal growth of 3%.

� Using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to calculate cost of equity. However, the CAPM calculation is based on the following variables:

¾ Risk free rate of 2.7% based on 10-years US bond yield of 2% + country risk premium of KSA of 0.7%.

¾ Equity risk premium taken at 11.2%.

¾ Beta of 0.57.

� We are using respective Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for discounting the future FCF of the company for each year, where the calculation of WACC for each year is based on the following variables:

¾ Cost of equity equivalent to CAPM

¾ Cost of debt taken at 3.5%

¾ Contribution from equity & debt in Jarir’s capital structure is taken at 91% & 9%, respectively.

Using the above assumptions, we arrived at DCF based value of SAR153/share for the company.

Youth domination & high literacy rate leads to make local industry more dynamic

According to SAMA4 2011 annual report5, the population in Saudi Arabia was recorded at 27.1mn in 2010, where significant portion (around 47%6) of total population aged between 15 and 39. According to IMF7, the country’s population will increase at 2010-15 CAGR of 1.4% and reach at 29.02mn in 2015. Based on our understanding, we expect the youths (15-39 ages) will continue to dominate the population till 2015. On the other hand, according to World Bank report 2010 the adult and youth literacy rate in KSA was recorded at 86% and 97% in 2009, respectively.

We, therefore, believe the youth dominance in the overall population and high literacy rate with better education standard will ease the public to adapt new technologies. On the other hand, we expect the improvement in awareness among customer on the back of high literacy rates with better educational standards leading the local market to become more dynamic in responding to quick changes in the customer preferences/needs.

MARCH2012

Relatively low space/capita will unfold opportunities to make expansion

Despite of aggressive expansions in retail business across the Kingdom in past 5 years, it is worthy to mention that the retail space/capita is still lower than the other regional markets. Based on the study of LaSalle, retail space/capita in cities like Riyadh & Jeddah stood at 0.2m2 as compared to space/capita of 1.6m2 of mall in Dubai, UAE.

Furthermore, based on the increase in customer awareness and education, we expect the retail centers need to be designed in more professional manner, which should be well equipped with the latest available technologies and facilities. Hence, we believe such changes will lead to (i) the increase entry barrier for small players and (ii) the environment where the survival will be based on unique business strategy.

Potential evolution in books market

In the past few years the world was introduced with the concept of e-books. Although the technology is not widely tested but we believe the introduction of such innovation in Saudi market will lead to a new era in books retail business. According to the article on business week, Amazon has initiated to transform its traditional book business to e-book business. In addition, based on the independent study, the potential hit through the introduction of e-books will be on the big publishers around the world, while the e-publishing company (i.e. Amazon) and authors will be the major beneficiary.

Smart phone heading towards two - players market & mix trend in PCs & PC tablet markets

The smart phone is heading to become the two-player markets i.e. Apple & Google until the Windows Phone 7 will not help MS to recapture some initiative. Recently, the failure of big name like Nokia in smart phone market and shift of Finnish phone maker from its own Symbian system has further paved the way for Apple & Google to continue their domination in the near future. According to the study done by EIU, the open privilege of software will get the preference over the propriety software in the smart phone market. This suggests that the free access to Android will lead Google to get an edge over Apple. Hence, this indicates that the local market will continue to be dominated with the smart phones of these two players in 2012. On the other hand, the study done by EIU indicates that the increase in demand of PC tablets will continue to eat up the market share of PCs. In addition, EIU study also suggests PC tablets and handheld devices are suitable till now for the application commonly used at work place so PCs are expected to continue its domination at work place.

Jarir marketing company (Jarir) started its operation with a single retail store dates back in 1974. The company, later on, expanded its operational focus to wholesale market and opened wholesale store in 1979. The company started to make significant growth, from 1980s onward, on the back of (i) successful introduction of ROCOTM, Jarir bookstore and Royal FalcomTM, (ii) effective promotion and placement led to capture market share from weak competitors and (iii) upgrade its operational efficiency through implementation of updated technology.

MARCH2012

The company’s total number of retail outlets was increased at a CAGR of 15%, during 2008-11, and recorded at 35 in 2011. It is worthy to mention that the company’s recorded expansion was mainly focusing to enhance its retail activities in order to remain intact with the past developments in KSAs retail sector. Furthermore, we believe the company will continue to focus on retail segment in order to cater the expected opportunities in KSAs retail sector.

Jarir is expected to open 8 new stores till 2013-14 of which 6 are scheduled to open within the Kingdom and the remaining 2 will be located in Kuwait. Hence, this indicates the number of stores will continue to increase at 2011-15CAGR of 5.9%, while the prime focus will be on KSA and Kuwait markets. Moreover, we believe, the expansion in stores will lead the company\s total cover area to reach at 1.37mn ft2 in 2015 (2011-15CAGR of 7.3%). We believe the company’s expansion strategy is in line with the outcomes of 2011 GRDI score (as discussed earlier in KSA retail section), which indicates Kuwait and KSA as the most attractive markets across the region. On the other hand, the regional space/capita matrix also indicates KSA as more attractive place for expansion than saturated markets of UAE i.e. Abu Dhabi and Dubai

Increase in customer visit

According to the company’s Dec 2011 investors’ presentation, customers’ visit was recorded at 22mn in 2011 as compared to 19mn in 2010, as recorded in investors’ presentation Sep-2011. We believe the estimated growth in 2011 customers’ visit was mainly associated with the opening of new stores in existing and new locations, where the growth potential is relatively high.

Based on our expectations, the customers’ visit will increase at a CAGR of 6.2%, during 2010-15 to reach at 28mn in 2015. The expected growth in customers’ visit is mainly associated with the opening of new stores in existing & new locations, where the growth potential is relatively high. It is noteworthy that the daily customer visits per store is expected to show a declining trend, which is mainly based on the increase in number of stores in prime city i.e. Riyadh. At present, we are not expecting any serious threat from such decline in daily visits per store since the annual customers’ per visit is estimated to continue in an upward trend.

Improvement in customers’ conversion rate 8

Jarir customers’ conversion rate in 2011 was recorded at 32.7% as compared to 33.3% recorded in 2010. We believe the decline in conversion rate was mainly associated with increase of 15.8% in customers’ visit in 2010 against YoY growth of 14% in value transaction; where the increase in customers’ visit was mainly associated with the openings of 2 new stores in new locations in 2011. Furthermore, in 2012, we believe the company’s expansions in new areas, estimated inflow of 24mn customers and steady average basket price will lead average conversion rate to show improvement and reach at 33.3% in 2012.

We believe the company’s proactive strategy to attract customers along with moderate expansion (8 stores in 3-4 years) will remain a key factor to further strengthen conversion rate. Moreover, we believe the expansions in new areas and strengthening of position in the existing locations will also play a major role to enhance the company’s conversion rate. Hence, we expect the company’s conversion rate to reach at 35.0% in 2015 as compared to the conversion rate recorded in 2011.

Competitive average basket price 9

Based on our calculations, the company’s overall average basket price in 2011 was recorded at SAR524 as compared to SAR425 calculated in 2010. We believe the growth in average basket price was mainly based on the (i) increase in average prices of office/school stationery and (ii) moderate price increase in new laptops and PC tablets and (iii) new versions of smart phones, which are obviously expensive than the earlier ones.

In the wake of upcoming competition and rapid evolution in technology, we believe the company has to offer its products at competitive pricing in order to maintain its growth trajectory. Consequently, this will lead the company’s average basket price to increase at a CAGR of 3% during 2011-15. Furthermore, despite of expected limited increase in average basket price, we believe the company will perform well in stiff competitive environment

New e-books technology & its potential impact on Jarir

Since the customers in KSA are relatively young and quick to adapt changes so we cannot rule-out the growth potential of e-book, which could lead to a shift in the local book market from traditional paper books, in longer run. Moreover, we believe the major benefit will be associated with the one who will first bring this new technology & related tools in the local market. Despite of tough competition expected in the local market, we expect Jarir as a potential candidate to introduce such technology in the local market. Our expectation is mainly based on;

(i) Wide range of electronic product including the e-book tools i.e. smart phones, IPad and others.

(ii) One of the prominent book sellers inside the Kingdom.

(iii) Renowned brand name in local & regional markets with international recognition.

Potential impact of e-book technology on Jarir

Segments Impact Description

Traditional books NegativeIntroduction of e-book will possibly obsolete traditional books (paper-books). This could lead to the sale of traditional books at low prices.

Smart products PositiveThese products are used as a tool to operate e-book technology.

Source: Aljazira capital

Based on our understanding, e-book will eventually lead to the physical closure/reduction in a large section of books, which will enable Jarir to (i) expand its electronics coverage and (ii) product cost / ft2. Moreover, we cannot rule out the impact on overall customers’ visit with introduction of e-book in the local market. On the other hand, we believe the introduction of e-book by other competitor will hit the company’s book segment severely. However, we are not anticipating any major impact on the smart products’ section since Jarir is among the leading retailer of smart products inside the Kingdom.

We believe the launch of new smart devices compatible with 4G technology will open a new room of growth for Saudi telecom operators and also electronic device retailers i.e. Jarir. The global smart device market witnessed the launch of new IPAD3 in Mar 2012 (one of the few devices compatible with 4G technology).

It is worthy to mention that iPad3 has not been launched in KSA till now; however, we are expecting the penetration of the new IPAD version, Jarir is a potential distributor, in local market towards the end of 2012. Consequently, we are expecting iPad3 could give a boost in the company’s growth (Note: We have not taken any impact of iPad3 on our valuation since it is premature to make estimated growth from iPad3, at present).

MARCH2012

Financial performance in 2011

Jarir Marketing Company’s sales revenue was recorded at SAR4.1bn in 2011, which indicates YoY massive growth of 37.6% over the revenues recorded in 2010. We believe the growth in the company’s 2011 sales revenue was mainly associated with YoY increase of (i) 23.3% in average basket price, (ii) 14% in value transactions. Consequently, the company’s net profitability registered YoY growth of 28% in 2011 and recorded at SAR513mn (EPS: SAR8.55), indicating a net profit margin of 12.4%.

Computers & electronics will continue to dominate Jarir’s revenues

Over the period of time, the company has transformed from the retailer & wholesaler of office/school supplies/stationeries to computers & electronics, which was mainly, associated with the induction of smart phones and PC tablets in the electronic segment. Consequently, the increased focus in electronic segment i.e. smart phones and PC tablets led to the domination of computer & electronics segment in the overall product mix.

According to the company’s investors’ presentation Dec-2011, currently the company has secured 7%-8% market of smart phones; where the estimated size of the market is hard to determine due to lack of official market size. This indicates the electronics & computer section will continue to dominate the company’s overall revenues. Based on our expectations, the company’s sales revenue will increase at 2011-15 CAGR of 10.6% and reach at SAR6.3bn in 2015. However, the company’s revenue/ft2 to increase at a CAGR of 3.1%, during 2011-15, which is mainly due to increase in ft2 area covered at 2011-15 CAGR of 7.3%.

Based on our expectations, the company’s profitability is expected to post after tax profit of SAR582mn (EPS: SAR9.7) in 2012, which indicates YoY growth of 13.4%. Moreover, on account of increase in competition, we believe the company will take cost control measure to maintain its profitability margin. Hence, this will translate into increase in net profitability at a CAGR of 11.3%, during 2011-15.
