So, when my asking customers what they want and expect. To daughter recently asked me to buy her a new pencil case shed some light on the preferences and behaviours for school, I thought to myself: “When am I going to fit that of consumers, PwC surveys thousands of shoppers in?” Of course, it wasn’t just any pencil case she wanted; worldwide every year and presents the findings in our she had something specific in mind. Children notoriously Total Retail report. This year, we decided to take things have the best timing, and she happened to make this a step further, with a deep dive into the Netherlands’ request just as we were boarding an aeroplane. Once we market. Our findings from surveying 2,000 Dutch were both seated and while waiting for the plane to take shoppers are presented in this report. Through a off, I pulled out my mobile phone, opened a browser and separate report, which focuses specifically on the quickly scanned the web. I searched the usual Dutch pure Netherlands, we aim to provide insights and preliminary play sites, but they didn’t have the specific design she was views on the Dutch retail market and to highlight how it looking for. I then made my search more specific trying is different, or similar, to other countries.

I was R&C Industry Leader disappointed to see that the delivery and customs costs the Netherlands exceeded the price of the pencil case! The purser came onto About the research the intercom and was making the pre-flight announcement. In February, we published our global report on Time was running out. I quickly did a search for the Dutch Total Retail (www.pwc.com/gx/en/industries/ translation of “zippered pencil case”, expecting to get more retail-consumer/total-retail.html). This report hits from Dutch based e-shops. Bingo! I quickly completed outlines ten investment recommendations for the sale and paid for it through my mobile banking app, just retailers, based on a survey of 24,000 shoppers in as the plane started to taxi down the runway. 29 countries. Now we publish a deep dive into the Netherlands’ retail market. This report is based on Most likely you have a similar story, which just goes to show a survey of 2,000 respondents in the Netherlands, how online shopping has evolved. It is now mainstream and conducted in November 2016. We asked them is being done on the go increasingly from mobile devices, about their shopping behaviour and preferences. rather than from tablets and desktops. The breadth of The survey aims to understand buying preferences product options, the quality of user interfaces, the variety and behaviours of Dutch shoppers. We used many of payment options and increases in service levels have all questions from the global survey, and from our dramatically improved over the last few years. As a result, previous Total Retail survey in the Netherlands online sales continue to rise, cannibalizing store-based sales, (2014, data from 2013). This allows us to contrast and we expect this growth to continue. As stores disappear the responses from Dutch shoppers to global and complete retail chains vanish, our streets are now averages and those from specific countries in getting clogged up with delivery vans carrying the millions Europe. It also allows a longitudinal analysis of the of parcels containing goods that we have ordered online. evolution of Dutch shoppers since 2013. So, where does this all end? Your guess is as good as mine. 4 PwC Total Retail 2017 5 6 Chapter 1 PwC Total Retail 2017 7 The Netherlands is lagging behind in its desire to buy online The Netherlands ranks in the tail of Europe when it comes to preferences to shop online. We see the Netherlands at the bottom of the list of European countries that participated in our Total Retail survey, both for preference to research products online, as well as preference to buy online. The survey reflects consumer preferences of 2,000 Dutch shoppers. Figure 1 NL consumers display a lower preference to purchase online compared to consumers from EU countries 45% Preferences to purchase online for EU countries in the sample 35% 40% 29% 31% 45% 44% 27% 41% 25% 35% 35% 29% 34% 27% 30% 44% 37% 39% Netherlands 25% Source: PwC, Total Retail NL 2017 8 “The gap between the Netherlands and benchmark countries is larger for the less established online product categories.” The gap in preference to buy online appears across a broad set of product categories, but is particularly prevalent in product categories where online sales have picked up more recently, such as health and beauty, do-it-yourself, home furnishings, jewellery and outdoor equipment. Figure 2 Preference to Purchase online NL versus benchmark countries Books, music, movies and video games 57% 8% 65% Consumer electronics 38% 14% 52% Average gap for more established Toys 45% 33% 12% categories: 12% Clothing and footwear 29% 13% 42% Household appliances 30% 12% 42% Health & Beauty (cosmetics) 23% 17% 40% Furniture and homeware 19% 17% 36% Do-it-yourself/home improvement 18% 16% 34% Average gap for less established categories: 15% Jewellery/watches 15% 18% 33% Sports equipment/outdoor 22% 10% 32% Grocery 11% 14% 25% Netherlands Gap with benchmark countries Source: PwC, Total Retail NL 2017 PwC Total Retail 2017 9 “Between 2013 This gap is not new. In 2013 we also saw the Netherlands lagging behind other European countries in terms of shoppers’ preference for online. However, the gap has widened since then. Where online preferences hardly and 2016 the increased in the Netherlands, they grew significantly in other countries. gap between the Figure 3 Online as preferred way of purchasing, NL vs. benchmark countries in 2013 and 2016 Netherlands and other western European countries has increased further.” 45% 41% 35% 37% 36% 27% 30% 27% 2013 2016 % of respondents who prefer ‘online’ above store Source: PwC, Total Retail NL 2017 10 The lagging position of the Netherlands extends to other shopping trends too. Compared to other European countries in the survey, shoppers in the Netherlands use their mobile phone less for shopping. This is especially the case for researching products and checking reviews of products and/or stores online. Where we see a trend in other countries that people shop ‘mobile in hand’ in the store, using their smartphone as a research tool for shopping, this seems to be less the case for Dutch shoppers.

  • Anticipated Acquisition of 99P Stores Limited by Poundland Group Plc
    Non-confidential ANTICIPATED ACQUISITION OF 99P STORES LIMITED BY POUNDLAND GROUP PLC RESPONSE TO PHASE II STATEMENT OF ISSUES 9 JULY 2015 LON37045457/6 163772-0005 POUNDLAND GROUP PLC Response to the CMA’s Statement of Issues This document is Poundland Group plc’s (Poundland) response to the UK Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) statement of issues of 25 June (Statement of Issues) regarding Poundland’s proposed acquisition of 99p Stores Ltd (99p Stores) (the Transaction). Please note that this document contains Poundland confidential information and should not be shared with third parties absent Poundland’s express prior written consent. 1. Executive Summary 1.1 Poundland welcomes the opportunity to provide the CMA with its input on the CMA’s Statement of Issues. 1.2 Poundland believes that the evidence strongly supports the view that this transaction does not pose any risk to competition. On the contrary, Poundland considers that the merger will be pro-competitive – bringing a superior proposition to 99p Stores’ customers, and further enhancing competition along the High Street. 1.3 In particular, the evidence shows that: (a) Poundland competes in a competitive marketplace everywhere it operates. Poundland competes all along the High Street: all of the products that Poundland sells are either available at a supermarket, at a limited assortment discounter (LAD), at another value general merchandiser (VGM), at a specialist retailer or at an independent discounter. Customers are value conscious – they want more for less, can easily switch retailers and do not display any ‘fascia loyalty’ in their quest for value. (b) There is no variation of the offer across the Poundland estate.

  • Jan Bormeth Vilhelmsen Og Ma
    0 ucvbnmqwertyuiopåasdfghjklæøzxcv Executive Summary The master thesis at hand is a study of the Danish retail store chain Tiger and EQT’s decision to acquire a 70% stake in the company. The aim in this thesis is twofold. Firstly, a valuation of Zebra per June 30, 2015, will be conducted. Secondly, an analysis of the value creation during EQT’s ownership period is performed. The main objective in this thesis is to estimate the fair Enterprise Value per June 30, 2015, through a DCF-analysis. Based on Zebra’s strategic position and its historical financial performance, the expected future earnings and cash flow generations were forecasted and resulted in an Enterprise Value of DKK 8,864 million from which the Group accounted for DKK 8,350 million and the Japanese Joint Venture for DKK 515 million. Based on these figures, Zebra’s fair value of equity comprises DKK 7,789 million. Of this figure, EQT’s share of the equity amounts to DKK 5,219 million and DKK 2,874 million when correcting for the 50/50 owned subsidiaries. At EQT’s entry in the beginning of 2013, the purchase price for its stake was DKK 1,600 million, according to different sources, resulting in an IRR for EQT on 26.48% per year. This IRR is satisfying since it is above the expected return for Private Equity investments which historically has a threshold for an IRR on over 20% per year, and in more recent time a threshold between 12-17% per year. The objective in the second part of this thesis is to analyze how EQT has created or destroyed value during its ownership period based on an IRR for Zebra, excluding the Japanese Joint Venture.

    EMEA Retail And Restaurants Industry Overview, Credit Trends, And Outlook Oct. 16, 2020 Key Takeaways – COVID-19 has transformed the retail sector, with an accelerated transition to e-commerce and "omnichannel" platforms becoming increasingly indispensable to support the bricks and mortar stores. – Apparel retailers and the travel retail channel have suffered the most, while grocers, DIY, and home improvement retailers have seen a significant increase in their top line. – Retail sales have picked up pace in the third quarter, with online sales rising sharply. Higher logistics and transportation costs will dilute profitability, with retailers incentivizing click and collect to encourage footfall.. – The restaurants and pubs sector will remain under pressure for the foreseeable future, with government support and measures offering some short-term relief. – With around two-thirds of the portfolio affected, the pace of negative actions slowed in the second half of the year. Over half of the issuers we rate in the sector have a negative outlook or are on CreditWatch with negative implications. – Ratings have transitioned toward the lower end of the spectrum, with a higher number of defaults. Solvency remains a growing risk for 10% to 15% of speculative-grade retail and restaurants, with unsustainable capital structures, particularly once official support programs taper off. 2 Contents European Macroeconomic Overview 4 Retail Industry Trends 7 Rating Actions And Distribution 17 Selected Issuers 23 ESG In Retail & Restaurants 30 Analytical Contacts 32 3 Macroeconomic Trends Europe European Macroeconomic Overview Top European Risks – The resurgence of the virus across Europe support Economic costs mount without a COVID-19 vaccine and continued fiscal support our expectation that the hardest-hit sectors will not recover to 2019 levels until 2023 or later.
