DAIRY FARM INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED
HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30TH JUNE 2012
OVERVIEW
Dairy Farm achieved further earnings growth in the first half of 2012 while continuing to expand its store network and invest in new markets.
PERFORMANCE
Sales, including 100% of associates, increased by 10% to US$5.5 billion in the first six months of 2012. Underlying net profit grew 12% to US$243 million, while underlying earnings per share were up 12% at US¢17.98. The profit attributable to shareholders of US$245 million included a non-trading gain of US$2 million arising from the disposal of a small retail property in Singapore, while the comparable results in 2011 benefited from a non-trading gain of US$10 million.
The Group's financial position remains healthy and at 30th June 2012 it had net cash of US$231 million. This follows the payment of US$202 million in respect of the 2011 final dividend and US$289 million for capital expenditure, including acquisitions in Cambodia and the Philippines.
The Board has declared an interim dividend of US¢6.50 per share, up 8%.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS
In March 2012, a 70% shareholding was acquired in a Cambodian business that operates six supermarkets, and in May the Group purchased a 50% interest in Rustan Supercenters, Inc. in the Philippines, which has ten hypermarkets and 22 supermarkets. These acquisitions provide good opportunities for growth in new markets alongside local partners. PT Hero has also been awarded the franchise right to operate IKEA stores in Indonesia, and the first store is expected to open in 2014.
OPERATIONS
Further expansion of the Group's operations took place during the first half of 2012 with a net addition of 149 stores, increasing the total network to 5,555. In the larger format segment, eight new Giant hypermarkets were opened, and by the end of June 2012 the Group operated 74 Giant stores in Malaysia, 43 in Indonesia, eight in Singapore, one each in Brunei and Vietnam, and ten Shopwise hypermarkets in the Philippines. The Group is continuing to invest in its retail business processes and supply chain management.
The Group's businesses continued to trade well. In Hong Kong, Mannings health and beauty stores achieved another excellent result with strong Chinese New Year sales and successful promotion campaigns. Wellcome supermarkets also saw strong sales during the Chinese New Year period, and benefited from the remodelling of stores. Results from Taiwan reflected continued improvement in Wellcome supermarkets and IKEA. In Southern China, 7-Eleven produced good growth in sales, and will continue its stores expansion plan. Further management resources have been made available and additional costs incurred to support the repositioning of Mannings in mainland China.
Restaurant associate, Maxim's, produced a fine first half result with increased contributions from its Japanese restaurant chains, Starbucks operations and Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong. The group also achieved improved performances from its cake shops in Southern China.
In Malaysia, the Giant hypermarkets and supermarkets made a steady contribution and there was a good result from the Guardian health and beauty chain. In Indonesia, PT Hero showed impressive growth in sales and profits in all formats, particularly its Giant hypermarkets.
In Singapore, the overall result was little changed from the first half of 2011, although there were increased contributions from Cold Storage supermarkets and Guardian health and beauty stores.
PEOPLE
Michael Kok is to retire as Group Chief Executive at the end of 2012 after over five years in the role. I am pleased that he will remain as a non-executive Director of the Company. We welcome Graham Allan, who joined the Group as Chief Operating Officer on 1st June 2012 from Yum! Brands and is to succeed Michael Kok on his retirement.
PROSPECTS
Despite continuing challenges in the global economy, Dairy Farm is expected to perform satisfactorily in the second half of the year.
