KSA retail sector growth driversSurgeinpercapitaretailspending:
DomesticdemandhasbeenoneofthekeygrowthdriversofKSA’sretailsector.Inthelastfiveyears,percapitaretailsaleshaveexpanded9%annually,andareestimatedtohavereached SAR13,243 (USD3,532) in 2011. Although growth in per capita retail spendingis higher than that fordevelopedcountries suchas theUSA, JapanandGermany, it issignificantly lower than China’s 23.2% annual increase over 2006–11. Furthermore,KSA’sretailsalesinabsolutetermsaresignificantlylower(40–70%in2011)comparedtodevelopedcountriesliketheUS,JapanandGermany.Therefore,webelievethereisgreatscopeforgrowthinpercapitaretailsalesinKSA.
Growingpopulationandrisingdisposableincome:
Retail sales are highly correlated to the increase in disposable income and growth inpopulation. KSA’s GDP expanded 10.7% during 2001–11 led by higher crude prices.Consequently,accordingtoEIU,per-capita incomemorethandoubledfrom2000 levelstoSAR76,788 in2011,despiteahighpopulationannualgrowth rateof2.9%.Also, thepopulationhasdemonstratedhighpropensitytoconsume;whereaccordingtoSAMA2011annual report 6 , thepopulation inSaudiArabiawas recordedat27.1mn in2010withasignificantportion(around47%7)oftotalpopulationagedbetween15and39.AccordingtoIMF8 , thecountry’spopulationwill increaseat2010-15CAGRof1.4%andreachat29.02mnin2015.
Basedonourunderstanding,weexpecttheyouths(15-39ages)willcontinuetodominatethepopulationtill2015.Inaddition,aspertheIMF,KSA’srealGDPisexpectedtogrow6.0% in 2012, and 4.3% annually during 2013 and 2015, backed by steady growth indemandandcrudeprices,andinvestmentsininfrastructurebythegovernment.

� Ramadan and Eid seasons celebrated in 3Q in last four consecutive years i.e. 2008-2011. Consequently, the company’s sales revenue witnessed notable growth in similar quarters, during 2008-2011 (as witnessed in the graph).
� However, the decline in sales revenue in 4Q is mainly due to post-Ramadan slow retailing activities.
Operational activities highly sensitive to seasonal changesThough the nature of the company’s business, at present, (especially food trading) isrelatedtodaytodayshopping;buttheinfluxofcustomersismuchaffectedwithseasonalchangesi.e.RamadanandEidholidays(apeakseasonforKSAretailsector).

• Diversified brands & wide geographical presence - The company’sexpansion strategy since 1997 was mainly relied on (i) geographicalexpansion; inside and outside the Kingdom and (ii) stretching brands’portfolio; through acquiring new franchises. Consequently, by March2012 (company’s fiscal year ended April-Mar), the company’s totalnumberofstoreswasrecordedat1,176ofwhich995storesarelocatedinsidetheKingdom;whiletotalnumberofcommercialbrandsstoodat78—offeringwiderangeofbrandedfashionproductsincludingapparels,cosmetics,footwearandsoon.Itisworthytomentionthatthecompany,duringFY2011-12,stretcheditsoperationalarmsinUSAwith51storesandAzerbaijanwith2newstores.
• Low competition in local market- Based on the company’s widecoverage and operational focus, we believe al-Hokair, at present, isoperating in relatively low competition environment.
