The declined earnings of the group was mainly attributable to the stagnant performance in the retail sector due to weaker consumer sentiment, which Market Cap (USD 'Mn) 288 generates more than 70% of the topline for the group. Further admin expenses of the group increased by *1 USD = LKR 178 9% YoY in 2QFY19 due to heavy investment in CARG’s retail sector during the year.

Despite an increase in footfall, the de-growth in the basket value— in real terms—mainly weighed down the performance of the sector. At present, CARG dominates the retail supermarkets with a 105.0 total stores of 363 and has significant presence in the rural areas (covering all 25 districts) compared to 103.0 other two players (Keells, Arpico) due to its relatively small store format size. Accordingly, CARG having 101.0 high presence outside Western province is expected to reap the benefit from the trend of rising household 99.0 income in semi-urban and rural areas in the mid to long term, thereby we expect its revenue from retail to 97.0 95.0 grow at a CAGR of 12% from FY18-FY21E. Having the highest number of Supermarkets Island wide, CARG's 93.0 future investments will be mostly spend on store upgrades driving new store growth and store re- 91.0 modelling. Accordingly, we have assumed a higher capex of LKR 5.4Bn for FY19E, assuming its expansion 89.0 plans in the pipeline (latest addition to its retail network is the one-of-a-kind Cargills food city specialty 87.0 outlet that will be opened at the Colombo City Centre in December 2018).

Introduction of innovative products during the year under review, and thereby growth in volumes have helped to boost EBIT margins from the segment to 17% in 2QFY19 vis-a-vis 14% in 2QFY18. We expect FMCG sector revenue Minimum Return for BUY: to grow at a CAGR of 12% during FY18-FY21E in line with the upcoming festive season and expected increase Buy Below [AER of 17% with DPS]: LKR 201.0 in disposable income.
