)
– 3 stores to be converted to Dan Murphy in F03 (Eltham, Vermont Sth and

Smooth transition overall was very pleasing, however as always
several areas could have been handled better
•
4 existing Supermarkets were sold in accordance with ACCC
undertakings
•
Capital conversion costs of $117 milion ($105 mil in F02) vs original
estimate $126 mil

FRANKLINS ANALYSIS
• Store sales results for F02 slightly above our acquisition
expectation at $1
$1.05
05 bil ($1
($1.01
01 bil excluding sales in respect of 4
stores sold in accordance with ACCC undertakings)
• Store costs higher than existing Woolworths / Safeway stores
but in line with acquisition expectation and will improve to
Woolworths norms in F03

expectation

GROWTH
Considerable opportunities for continuing growth in both
revenues and earnings
•
Add 15 to 25 new Supermarkets per year for the foreseeable future
•
Expand BIG W at a rate of 6 - 8 per year (10 for 2002/2003 year) growing the
chain from its current level of104 to150
•
Grow liquor from sales of $1.4bil to $2.5bil
•
G
Grow
petrol
t l from
f
269 canopies
i currently
tl open tto 350 over 3 years
•
Further potential to grow sales in existing core businesses:
–
–
–
–
•
Relatively low share of national fresh food market
Significant number of new stores yet to mature
Trend towards gradual deregulation of trading hours and product restrictions
New formats and ranges
Strength of our balance sheet allows us to address larger acquisitions should
they become available, these will be examined and pursued if they add to
shareholder value
22
SALES AND EARNINGS GUIDANCE
• As consistently stated previously, we anticipate sales will grow in
the high single digits and earnings (EBIT and EPS) will grow in the
low double digits for the foreseeable future
• Sales and earnings guidance were reviewed at the end of the first
quarter and left unchanged with the release of the first quarter
sales
• It is not Woolworths normal practice to provide sales guidance
guidance,
however sales guidance is given for this year only to help the
market understand the impact of non comparable sales from ex
Franklins stores, as well as the impact of moving from a 53 week
year in FY02 to a 52 week year in FY03. Our normal practice of
providing earnings guidance will of course continue
• Sales have continued to perform well and have grown in line with
our expectations in the 6 weeks since the end of the first quarter
23
SALES AND EARNINGS GUIDANCE
•
Subject to current trends continuing and a satisfactory Christmas
trading period, we now expect normalised (52 week) sales growth for
2002 / 2003,
2003 for
f continuing
ti i operations,
ti
will
ill b
be off th
the order
d off 10
10.5%
5% tto
11.0% (previous guidance anticipated a 10.0% increase)
•
Our costs continue to reduce and in line with our objectives we
anticipate that EBIT growth for the half year and full year will exceed
sales growth, resulting in thickening EBIT margins
•
We now anticipate EPS will grow in a range of 55.5 cps to 57.5 cps
after goodwill (previously 55 cps to 57.5 cps) and 58 cps to 60 cps
before goodwill (previously 57
57.5
5 cps to 60 cps)
cps). This improves our
previous earnings guidance by 1% or 0.5 cent at the bottom of the
range
•
This guidance is given subject to a continuation of the current
business and economic environment and a satisfactory Christmas
gp
period
