performance was impacted by the closure of non performing branches in Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya and supply chain challenges.
Group losses reduced by 17% from 3.4b versus 2.8b in 2017
Search for a strategic investor is ongoing

The above financial information have been extracted from the financial statement which were audited by KPMG Kenya who issued a disclaimer of opinion on the group financial statements due to lack of audit evidence on foreign subsidiaries up to the date of loss of control and a qualified opinion on company financial statements with regard to lack of audit evidence on Property and Equipments opening balances.
Conclusions
Obviously a big scaling back evidenced in the -50.387% decline in FY Net Sales.
You would have thought that there is a big Opportunity still in the supermarket space.

The above results are as a result of efforts by the board of directors to clean up the books and create a platform for an immediate return to profitability. These are figures as at June 30, 2015 and reflect the legacy issues that were undermining the performance of the business. The Company has also provided for KShs1.6 billion in respect of the impairment of the recently closed subsidiaries in Tanzania and Uganda and KShs1.04 billion for write off, which relates to items arising from management misrepresentation and manipulation of the system by the previous management. Accordingly, some prior year numbers have been restated to reflect the correct financial position of the organization as at June 30, 2014.The new management has crafted a transformation plan to optimize and put the business on a growth trajectory through staff and store rationalization, disposal of non core property as well as engagement of our suppliers and customers whose effect has been sustained loyalty and increase of stock availability on our shelves.

Company Commentary
Though there was a general decline in inflation in the East African economies, the rate was still high and this translated in to lower unit consumption.
8 new branches opened in green sites
Total Branch network 27 in kenya 4 in Tanzania and 6 in Uganda Total 37
Total Group sales registered marginal growth mainly due to the drop during the year in the Uganda Subsidiary by 12% mainly attributed to competition, supply chain challenges and some locations becoming untenable.
Tanzania Sales grew by 10%.
Kenya registered a 2% growth in sales.
Annual Customer numbers increased by 13%.
New Loan Facilities via KCB and ICDC.
Government of Kenya loan fully settled on 30th June 2014.
Conclusions
The earnings growth was driven by a decline in the companys effective tax rate (-1,150bps yy to 15.1%).
its a cheap share but needs to accelerate its roll out strategy and a much steeper Trajectory.
Personally, I remain baffled via Someone has not seen fit to launch a Takeover.

If I had been Mass Mart I would have looked very closely at Uchumi.
The Big Forward Event is the widely telegraphed Rights Issue which I expect to be oversubscribed and a Catalyst for a Bull Move through 25.00.

Conclusions
They have ended the Dividend Drought.
The Expansion has crimped Profits a Little but looking through the Headline Numbers This is a Company that has been tidied up, rehabilitated, resurrected and repositioned for Growth.
They also have unhindered Access to the Capital Markets unlike Nakumatt who have Challenges in that Regard.

Uchumi says Losses declined by Sh600M, KPMG issues Qualified Opinion @kenyanwalstreet
http://kenyanwallstreet.com/uchumi-says-losses-declined-sh600m-kpmg-issues-qualified-opinion
However, Uchumis auditors, KPMG Kenya issued a disclaimer of opinion on the group financial statements due to lack of audit evidence on foreign subsidiaries up to the date of loss of control and a qualified opinion on the companys financial statements due to lack of audit evidence on property and equipments opening balances.
A Disclaimer of Opinion is issued in either of the following cases When the auditor is not independent or when there is conflict of interest. When the limitation on scope is imposed by client, as a result the auditor is unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence.
A qualified opinion is a written statement by a certified public accountant in an audit report, stating that the financial statements of a client are fairly presented, except for a specified issue.
Stanlib top managers changed after cash tied up in collapsed banks
http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/markets/Stanlib-top-managers-changed-/539552-3830176-11190etz/index.html
Liberty Holdings (SA) chief executive officer Thabo Dloti was quoted in South African media saying that the parent firm made changes at Stanlib following operational issues in that business relating to impaired bank exposures.
Client money was invested in instruments that were exposed to second tier banks in Kenya, which subsequently became illiquid. Weve taken steps to make sure our business and clients are on a good footing, Mr Dloti was quoted as saying.
Stanlib made changes in top management last year with former SBG Securities chief executive officer Nkoregamba Mwebesa taking over as managing director in December, in place of James Muratha who left in August.
Both SBG Securities and Stanlib fall in the stable of financial firms under the umbrella of Standard Bank of South Africa. Others in Kenya are Stanbic Bank, Liberty Life and Heritage Insurance. |
