I recently read The Little Book of Sideways Markets by Vitaliy Katsenelson because his valuation approach has many similarities to the ones used here, and the name ‘sideways market’ certainly applies to the one we have now. In fact, Vitaliy is referring to the sideways market that we’ve been in since 1999 which gives you some indication of how long these things can go on for.

You can see from the 7-year forecast table that we’re back into the ‘Cheap’ range once again, with forecast future returns (including dividends) of around 10% a year over that period.

JD Sport annual report – Still expanding at full steam "The leading retailer of sport inspired fashion apparel and footwear" - jdplc.com

JD Sport had a positive 2011, despite all the gloom which surrounds the retail industry at the moment. Results were ahead of expectations, even when including the £2.2m loss from the company's latest acquisition, Blacks (which includes the Millett's brand). Further acquisitions included Sprinter in Spain, Champion in Ireland, Cecil Gee and the Fenchurch brand. The company is continuing to pursue its relatively aggressive international expansion program, and this is combined with further investment into exclusive brand licences and distribution infrastructure.

The expansion and investment for future growth is reflected in the increase in long-term earnings power, with the 10-year earnings average rising by over 15% and the dividend increasing by 10%.

Buy Alert: N Brown PLC

Overview Snapshot N Brown is one of the country’s leading direct home shopping companies, although with Price online sales now reaching 50% it may be more accurate to call the company a multi-channel 229p retailer.

Index With over 20 separate distribution brands, from JD Williams to Simply Be and Figleaves.com, FTSE 250 the company gets about 50% of its revenues from ladieswear, with the remainder coming from footwear, menswear and home & leisure. Market Cap £650 million The focus is often on older customers who may find it difficult to buy from high street stores due to their size requirements. These customers are broken down into a number of niches Revenue and the marketing effort is targeted accordingly. £753 million In order to continue growth, there are fledgling projects underway to grow the business Industry internationally, with new web sites for parts of continental Europe and the US. With the Retailer acquisition of High & Mighty there is now also a high street presence.

This helps to ensure that the process used can be repeated consistently and accurately. 13 1. Is the company diverse and does it add diversity to the Dividend yield 5.6% portfolio?

This is the same sector as the existing holding JD Sport, although the two companies operate in very different ways in very 10yr EPS growth rate different segments of the clothing market. This means that adding N Brown doesn’t increase 7% the industrial diversity of the portfolio. Now that the portfolio has two clothing retailers I won’t be adding any more until one of these is sold. UKVI Rating

 Geographic diversity N Brown is a UK-centric company. There are international operations with plans to expand, but for now these are all in the early stages, so N Brown does not add to the geographic diversity of the portfolio.

 Operational diversity For a retailer, the company has a very diverse range of customers and brands. In fact, the diverse range of customers is one of its main competitive advantages. With a wide range of brands from Simply Be to Figleaves.com and Fashion World, the customers are more diverse across height, girth and age than at most retailers.

Sales are generated across more than 20 separate distribution brands, partly online, partly via catalogue and with some high street stores as well. Income is also split into profit from sales and profit from supplying credit to customers, which is often a feature of the home shopping business model.

UK Value Investor May 2012

2. Is it a high quality business?

 Is it large? N Brown is listed in the FTSE 250, it has a market valuation of over £600 million and sales of over £700 million.

 Is it in the market leading group? Yes, it’s one of the country’s leading home shopping and multi-channel retailers.

 Does it have a long history of economic prosperity? The table below shows how the company’s per share results have changed over last decade:

Per Share Results 140.0% 120.0% 100.0% 80.0% 60.0% Revenue 40.0% Adj. Earnings 20.0% Dividends 0.0% -20.0% -40.0% 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012

Other than the current recession and slow economic environment, there are no obvious threats to the company’s existence.

 The future – Is there virtually no chance that its economic engine will become obsolete in the next 20 years? The industry in which they operate is unlikely to vanish overnight; we will all need clothing for the foreseeable future. However, there are many changes afoot, but so far N Brown has coped with them admirably, especially the move to online selling which is now 50% of sales.

 Does it have a low-cost, durable competitive advantage? There are various competitive advantages that N Brown has, but none of them are strong enough to be called a wide economic moat. For example:

Brands: some of the brands are very well known, like figleaves.com and Simply Be.

Inventory: The sales model is very different from a high street retailer, where N Brown is looking to sell a few items each from a vastly diverse range of sizes, while high street retailers

7

UK Value Investor May 2012

prefer to sell lots of items from a few lines, which means that a high street retailer is not competing directly with N Brown.

Lower costs: With very few high street outlets, costs can be kept down.

Profit from credit: The profits generated by offering credit to customers is a useful additional income stream which most retailers don’t push as a core part of their business.

So while there are various ways in which N Brown is well positioned, none of them seem to offer a wide moat against attack from competitors.

3. Is it conservatively financed?

 Is the interest cover above 5 and preferably above 10? Interest payments are covered more than 15 times over by earnings.

 Are total borrowings less than 5 times adjusted net profit? Total borrowings are around £250 million with earnings at about £80 million, so borrowings are just over three times earnings. This is a reasonable amount for most companies to have.

"Buy when most 4. Is there a fair chance of market beating returns? people…including  Is the dividend yield above average and likely to be sustainable? experts…are pessimistic, The dividend yield is very attractive at more than 5%. This dividend is well covered by and sell when they are earnings and the company does not have a history of cutting its dividend. In comparison, the actively optimistic" FTSE 100’s dividend yield is closer to 3.6%.  Is the company cheaper than average relative to past earnings? – Ben Graham The company is currently trading around a PE of 10, while the price to 10-year earnings average (the ‘earnings power’ of the company) is about 12, both of which are lower, and therefore more attractive, than for the average company.

 Is the company growing faster than average? N Brown has a solid history of relatively consistent growth, the rate of which has been something around 7% a year for the past decade which is above the 5% growth rate achieved by the FTSE 100 companies as a group.

Benchmark comparison Comparing N Brown directly against the FTSE 100 for dividends, valuation and growth should help to make the investment case clearer:

Growth Investment PE10 Dividend Yield Rating (10yr EPS) N Brown 12 7% 5.6%

FTSE 100 (at 5,700) 13.9 5% 3.6%

Comparison to benchmark

These measures of a company’s performance; the dividend yield, the earnings growth rate and the price to earnings ratio, are the major drivers of shareholder returns. By investing at lower valuations, with higher growth and higher dividend yields, investors can increase the odds that their portfolio will outperform the market and N Brown scores on all three counts.

Conclusion N Brown is a leading, multi-channel retailer which has successfully moved from a direct home shopping catalogue business model to one that includes a significant amount of online sales.

8

UK Value Investor May 2012

It has a long and relatively steady history of revenue, earnings and dividend growth in recent years and is currently available with a single digit PE ratio and a dividend yield over 5%.

There are no obvious threats to the company, other than that it’s in the retail sector in the middle of a long and drawn out economic downturn.

I will be buying shares in N Brown for the model portfolio in the days after this issue is published. As usual the initial weighting will be 1/30th (3.3%) of the total portfolio value at the time of purchase.

Higher rated companies that were rejected Amlin, – These are insurance companies and the portfolio already owns two insurance companies (Aviva and RSA).

First Group – First is the market leading public transport company. However, it carries too much debt to get into the portfolio. It also has high interest payments relative to earnings with interest payments covered only 2.5 times.

Carillion, Kier Group, Atkins (WS) – These companies operate in the design, engineering, construction and support services industries. The portfolio already owns several similar companies (, Interserve, ).

Ladbrokes –This company has a somewhat inconsistent history and is currently undergoing ‘significant change’ which is something that is often best avoided.

Man Group – This is an investment management business which is not what the model portfolio is after.

Dairy Crest – This leading dairy produce company currently has an interest cover of less than 5, which means that there is too much debt relative to earnings for our model portfolio.

INVESTMENT RISK: The value of shares can fall as well as rise. Dividend payments can fall as well as rise. Any information relating to past performance of an investment or investment service is not necessarily a guide to future performance. There is an additional risk of making a loss when you buy shares in certain smaller companies. There is a big difference between the buying price and the selling price of some shares and if you have to sell quickly you may get back much less than you paid. Share prices may go down as well as up and you may not get back the original amount invested. It may be difficult to sell or realize an investment. You should not buy shares with money you cannot afford to lose.
