We maintain our UNDERPERFORM rating, as valuations lack Taketo Yamate appeal relative to peers’. 81 3 4550 9963 [email protected] ■ Ginza duty-free shop a two-edged sword: A duty-free shop set to open this autumn within Mitsukoshi’s Ginza store (8F; floor space: 3,300m2) has been in the spotlight, but the shop will be operated as a JV between the company (27.5% stake), Japan Airport Terminal, and others. Upside for the Ginza store will be limited to rent, which will comprise a fixed fee and a percentage of sales (our estimate: 10–15% of duty free sales). Factoring in risk of lower sales accompanying the loss of sales floor space used for the shop (about 9%), the company’s strategy of using Ginza floor space for a duty-free shop may lag investors’ expectations. ■ Catalysts/risks: Rivals could open similar duty-free shops in the Ginza area, meaning risk of a decline for the shares if risk of greater competition becomes a focus. Upside risks include stronger-than-anticipated duty-free sales, more upbeat business conditions, and better shareholder returns could result in a higher share price in contrast to our UNDERPERFORM rating. ■ Valuation: Our ¥1,400 TP is an FY3/17E P/B of 0.9x. Our previous TP was an FY3/16E P/B of 0.7x. Our multiple reflects the correlation between our outlooks for longer-term ROE of 4.0% (previously 3.5%) and cost of equity of 4.4% (5.0%). Our cost of equity figure assumes an equity risk premium of 5.75% (6.2%), a risk free rate of 0.4% (0.66%), and a beta of 0.7 (unchanged).

CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES RESEARCH & ANALYTICS BEYOND INFORMATION® Client-Driven Solutions, Insights, and Access 27 May 2015 Duty-free shop in Ginza could be a dual-edged sword Tax-free sales at Mitsukoshi’s Ginza store reached ¥9.3bn in FY3/15, equivalent to 12.5% of the Ginza store’s sales. The company plans to use the entire eighth floor for a duty-free shop set to open this autumn in hopes of drawing more visitors from abroad. The shop will occupy about 3,300m2, or roughly 9% of the store’s total sales floor space (36,000m2). We are somewhat skeptical as to whether the duty-free shop’s impact on earnings will meet investors’ expectations. This is because the duty-free shop will be operated as a JV in concert with Japan Air Terminal and other partners. Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings will have a 27.5% stake in the venture, but the framework means much of the profit generated by the shop will flow to other parties. Upside for the Ginza store will be limited to rental income from the duty-free shop. This will comprise a fixed portion and a portion linked to sales. Details have not been released, but we expect the portion linked to sales to be equivalent to 10–15% of the shop’s sales, i.e., lower than the typical gross margin on merchandise sales (20–27%). We acknowledge the substantial potential of duty-free shops with regard to sales, but the potential for adverse impacts on the Ginza store’s sales should not be overlooked. The Ginza store is giving up about 9% of its own sales floor space for the venture, and the new shop will be competing with the store’s own tax-free sales (sales not subject to the consumption tax). We believe the company’s strategy of establishing a duty-free shop as a tenant within the Ginza store has considerable potential with respect to increased customer traffic and overall sales (including the duty-free shop’s sales). That said, we believe the overall upside for earnings (gross profit plus rental income) will be limited. Figure 1 covers our outlooks for sales and gross profit at the Ginza store. We expect gross sales (including sales at the duty-free shop) of ¥95bn in FY3/18. While this would be an improvement of ¥20.6bn over FY3/15 results, we believe downside from mix erosion (because of increased rental income from the duty-free shop) would mean gross profit improves by only ¥2.0bn, and most of this would be from increased rental income from the duty-free shop.
