Company Commentary
Group faced a challenging economic environment during the year 2017 in Kenya.
Formal retail sector in Kenya had further challenges that depressed its overall performance.
Over supply of formal retail property leading to cannibalisation
Collapse of Key Anchor Tenants that reduced customer Footfall into sopping malls by over 60%
Increased competition and change in customer shopping trends
Group also faced disruptions in its supply chain following the decision by Mr. Price to reduce trading margins, which led to cash flow constraints that negatively affected performance of all brands.
Group revenues declined by 303m
MR Price brand alone contributed a decline of 324m with a margin loss of 154m as a result of discontinued supply of stock by the Franchisor.
MR Price fixtures and inventory impairment amounted to 150.6m with an overall loss contribution of 78% to the bottom line
Business bore further impairment from discontinued operations of the baby sop store at the Junction Mall. and the Angelo store at the Sarit centre of 15m
F&F brand continued to post positive results across the Chain with a revenue of 131m in 2017
Board has appointed a Transaction Advisor to restructure the Capital Base.
Conclusions
I remain of the view that E Commerce is a big Disruptor.

Company Commentary
overall retail trading environment during the period under review was characterised by extraordinary and exceptional events that adversely affected the business, key among them as follows
1. Drought reduction in disposable income, coupled with lack of consumer credit ad a direct impact on customer shopping trends.
2. Overall unit sales increased by 14% and total number of transactions +9.00% average unit price sold reduced by 13% with a drop in per customer average spend by 17%
3. 190,341 square feet in 2017 versus 169,516 in 2016 8 additional stores. marginal 5% increase in revenue. Resultant cannibalisation led to a drop in traffic into all malls
4. non performance of major anchor tenants reduced traffic into all malls With 98% of our stores operating in malls whose anchor tenants are experiencing stocking challenges, data sows that footfall as decreased by over 60% with Customers closing to visit other facilities.
5. National elections fever
6. aggressive sale offers in Q2 reduced average gross margins to 39%
wellness and leisure market segment will continue to represent growth opportunities
Bossing Adidas and Lifefitness brands posted good results
a reduction in margins by a major brand did not lead to an increase in volume sales

Company Commentary
in 2 of 2016, several factors negatively impacted the peak trading season tat resulted in suppressed sales and margins. existing Malls registered lower footfall and new retail property registered lower purchase conversion rates that led to cannibalisation.
Revenues declined by -3.1% over Y2015 across key brands as a result of product supply challenges from South Africa during 2 of the Year.
Conclusions
Soft FY Results, interesting commentary about Malls.
