The company operates in multiple activities including wholesale and retail trading in foodstuff, household utensils, toys, fabrics, clothing and stationery. In addition, SAMCO’s lines of business also includes bakery activity for its account and management for others. SAMCO was listed in the market in an IPO at the beginning of 2014 through selling 30% of its shares (equivalent to 7.5 million shares) for subscription at price of SAR 36 per share. In Q1 2015, net profit hit SAR 29.1 million, which is lower than our expectation of SAR 32 million. The first-quarter’s profit grew 5.24% versus the same quarter of 2014 and 25.84% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. The YoY growth resulted from the increase in top line by SAR 43.7 million coming in at SAR 409.5 million due to the increased number of branches. On the other side, sales grew only SAR 16.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. The number of supermarkets totaled 50 branches in 2014 compared to 45 branches by the end of 2013. In addition, the number of the minimarkets increased from 20 to 23 outlets. In Q1 2015, SAMCO augmented the network of supermarkets to 52 branches; an increase of two branches from December 2014 and an increase of 6 branches versus the first quarter of 2014. The company plans to increase the number of supermarkets and minimarkets to 58 and 25 outlets, respectively in 2015. In addition, the network of Adventures World is planned to reach 10 branches by the end of 2015 compared to 9 branch by the end of 2014. Tadawul Index The company has many strength aspects, in particular; the defensive nature of the food and consumer goods sector will protect it from being significantly affected by low oil prices. As SAMCO expanded into different high-margin sectors to offset the low levels of profitability in the retail business. In addition, the level of existing debt is low compared to the size of the company's assets with the ratio of debt to assets reaching 22% in 2014, while interest coverage amounted to 18 times. The company’s operations still concentrate in the eastern region and therefore there are great opportunities in the central and western regions which are the most densely populated regions in the kingdom. The fundamental challenges facing the company include the low profit margins in the retail sector, which requires controlling the level of expenses, building robust relationships with suppliers, supporting margins through importation and private labelling especially in light of the increasing competition in the sector. 160 150 140 130 120 110 100 90 80 70 For more information you may contact: Turki Fadaak Research & Advisory Manager tfadaak@albilad-capital.com Or Albilad Capital Head Office: Tel: Fax: P.O.

Owing to the nature of the sector and the fact that it includes non-food products such as clothes, household products, electronics … etc., there are deviations in the estimates related to the size of the sector. US Ministry of Agriculture estimated the size of the Saudi food retail market food at USD 40 billion (SAR 150.3 billion) in 2013. The figure is expected to reach USD 45 billion (SAR 169 billion) in 2017, with the support of the population growth, the high level of income, increasing distribution outlets, growing urbanization and the spread of modern methods of shopping. Outlets Classification Grocery Sales per Category in Different Countries The number of retail food outlets reached 40.4k in 2013, an increase of 15% compared to 2012. These ports are divided into three categories: Hypermarkets: This category started to appear in 2004, and is often spread in the three major cities (Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam). Nevertheless, this category has become more favorable markets by families as they are deemed places of entertainment for children as well as shopping. This category accounted for about 22% of total retail sales in the kingdom in 2013. Supermarkets: This is the second category in the ranking in terms of area (between 500-5000 square meters). The number of outlets reached 680 and represent 23% of total retail sales during 2013. 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% UAE Italy Small Grocery Retails Spain Hypermarkets UK USA Supermarkets Source: Savola Minimarkets: the smallest outlets in terms of area; mostly less than 100 square meters, however this category represent the largest number of distribution outlets. In 2013, the number of outlets exceeded 40k. This category accounts for about 55% of total retail sales, despite selling at higher prices than the other categories which rely on cost reduction. Some FMCG chains have recently trended to set up small-scale outlets to meet the basic needs of citizens in a short time. For instance, Panda, the subsidiary of Savola Group, increased the number of minimarkets in 2014 from 23 to 155 outlets. SAMCO had 23 minimarkets at the end of 2013. The trend is expect to appeal to other FMGC chains in the future as these minimarkets contribute to attracting new segments of consumers at low cost. According to Nielsen, food and beverage represented 78.2% of total sector sales, while non-food sales seized 21.8%. Nielsen's surveys indicated that purchasing decisions of 71% of consumers are impacted by price discounts as a first preference, while the first preference of 14% of consumers is free premium (i.e. extra product free ).

Regarding the demographic distribution, Makkah province captures 26% of population occupying the first place and is followed by Riyadh province where 25% of population lives. According to CDSI, the percentages will not change by 2025. Import Saudi Arabia’s food retail market is the largest market in the Gulf region due to the size of the population which is estimated at 30 million; almost double the population of the other GCC countries combined. The kingdom imports about 80% of its food needs. In 2014, the imports of food, animal and agricultural products reached SAR 83.6 billion, or about 13% of total imports. Price levels Inflation indicators showed no significant changes in price levels that could negatively hit consumption.

Although 90% of the company's revenue comes from the grocery outlets, the segment’s contribution to the gross profit of the company is lower at 76.4% in 2014 ( 71.9% in 2013). The great disparity between the shares of segment in revenue and gross profit is attributed to the low margins of the segment compared to other sectors.

We expect net earnings to escalate 8.2% in 2015 hitting SAR 113 million compared to SAR 104.5 million in 2014, fueled by extensions in the grocery business in the first place. 2014 Net Quarter Profit (SAR mn) 30 28 26 24 22 20 The Beirut Mall has been the only sector that reported losses in 2014, terminating the year with losses of SAR 7.46 million driven by the closure of the Farm Markets’ branch in Beirut, renting the branch to a local tenant and selling equipment, fixtures and furniture.
