Comments of Management
Mrs. Limor Ganot, co-CEO
"Alon Blue Square presents during 2014 an improvement in all operating segments. Like the entire market in Israel, we have seen a decrease in consumption alongside an increased competition and despite that, we have been able to take correct measures, which together with the Passover timing that occurred in the second quarter of this year, had an impact on most of the Group companies.
BSRE continues to grow and promotes projects so as to realize the great potential of existing assets such as the project for the establishment of 3,000 residential units, public areas and development plans in Seattle which was approved by a U.S. court, residential project above the branch in Yehuda Maccabi street in Tel Aviv, completing the logistic center in Kibbutz Eyal and completing the construction of Givon parking lot in Tel Aviv consisting of 1,000 parking spaces adjacent to the wholesale market project in Tel Aviv as well as other projects.
Mega continues to implement the strategic plan and discount chain, YOU, is a success. The conversion of branches to the discount chain, YOU, has an impact on the results of these branches, which were partly closed throughout the conversion period. At the same time, adjustments are made in Mega in Town and the process of discontinuance of the activity of losing branches is implemented in the current format, after the balance sheet date Mega signed agreement in principle to transfer the activity of 8 branches with a total area of 25,000 sq.m. The agreement allows the purchaser to use the purchasing and supply services of Mega for the branches in respect of the transferred activity while utilizing the advantage of size and creating a win-win situation for both parties.
Dor Alon continues to grow in the convenience stores segment and the fuel quantities sold. This increase alongside an effective and stringent management and decrease in inventory losses assisted in dealing with the increased competition and present an impressive growth in profitability compared to the first quarter of this year and compared to the corresponding period last year.
We are pleased with the results of Na'aman and Vardinon, which took significant measures and positive results start to show in the sales of SSS and profitability.
Diners continues to show good results and plans to take several actions so as to provide a significant value to the card from the standpoint of the customer as well as activities to increase the honoring of the card among business establishments.
YouPhone maintains its status as the largest MVNO in Israel and has won the product of the year award in the communication segment and as a cellular company providing the best service. The company increases customer loyalty in Mega and Dor Alon chains and contributes to the companies' profitability. In addition, the company takes action to launch other services and products.
In the course of "Tzuk Eitan" operation which started after the end of the quarter, the group companies were harnessed for the benefit of the soldiers in Gaza and we are proud of the group employees who continued to provide service to our customers in this difficult period. We expect that the war period will have an impact on our results in the third quarter but it is not yet possible to quantify or assess the impact".

4Use of financial measures that are not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
Adjusted EBITDA is a measure that is not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Non-GAAP) and is defined as income before financial income (expenses) net, other gains (losses) net, changes in fair value of investment property, taxes, share in gains of associates, depreciation and amortization in addition to share in adjusted EBITDA of equity accounted investees and share in EBITDA of branches which were resolved to cease their operation under their current layout. It is an accepted ratio in the retail industry. It is presented as an additional performance measure, since it enables comparisons of operating performances between periods and companies while neutralizing potential differences resulting from changes in capital structures, taxes, age of property and equipment and its related depreciation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be related to as a single measure or as an alternative to operating income, another performance indicator and to cash flow information, which are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as indicators of profit or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA does not take the costs of servicing debt and other liabilities into account, including capital expenditures and therefore it does not necessarily indicate the amounts that may be available to the use of the company and in addition Adjusted EBITDA should not be compared to other indicators with similar names reported by other companies because of differences in the calculation of these indicators. See the reconciliation between our net income and Adjusted EBITDA which is presented in this press release.

Note 1 - Segment reporting
The Company includes segment information according to IFRS 8. The reporting is based on the Company's organizational structure, the internal reporting, the allocation of resources and the decision-making process. The Company presents four reporting segments: Supermarkets – food retail, Fueling and Commercial sites, Houseware and textile, Real Estate in addition to other segment which includes mainly Cellular activity, the Company's share in the issuance and clearance activity of credit cards and the baby products sector. The segments' results, as reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) include the operating profit before financial expenses from continuing operations, including the company's share in gains of associates and excluding impairment of goodwill. The segments' results for prior periods were adjusted in order to reflect the segment's results and the adjustment to the results in the consolidated report for those periods from continuing operations.
The Company's operating segments consist of the following:
| (1) | Fueling and commercial sites – Through its subsidiary Dor-Alon the Company is engaged in the development, construction and operation of vehicle fueling stations, adjacent commercial centers and independent convenience stores, marketing of fuel products and other products through the fueling stations and convenience stores and direct marketing of distillates to customers. The fueling and commercial sites segment is presented according to the published financial statements of Dor-Alon, with reclassification of credit card fees and with the amortization of the excess of cost arising at the time of acquisition allocated to the reconciliation between the operating profit of the segment and the consolidated operating profit. |
| (2) | Supermarkets – The Company operates the second largest food retail chain in Israel. Through its subsidiary, Mega Retail Ltd. ("Mega Retail"), which operates Supermarket branches, the Company offers a wide range of food and beverage products and “Non-food” items, such as houseware, toys, small electrical appliances, computers and computer accessories, entertainment and leisure products and textile products and “Near-Food” products, such as health and beauty aids, products for infants, cosmetics and hygiene products. As of June 30, 2014, Mega Retail operated 211 supermarkets including branches which were resolved to cease their operation under their current layout. This segment also includes properties owned through Blue Square Real Estate ("BSRE"), in connection with the supermarket operation of Mega Retail's stores (including warehouses and offices). The results of branches which were resolved to cease their operation under their current layout including comparative figures that were restated are included in the adjustments of segment results to consolidated profit or loss since the CODM reviews the Supermarkets segment without these branches. The allocation of costs attributed to the branches which were resolved to cease their operation under their current layout was made based on direct costs and joint expenses that will be saved. |
| (3) | Houseware and textile –through its subsidiary, Na'aman Group (NV) Ltd. ("Na'aman), the Company is engaged as retailer and wholesaler in houseware and textile activities. As of June 30, 2014, Na'aman operated 114 stores, some through franchisees. Effective from this quarter, the Company presents in Houseware and textile segment Na'aman Group's houseware and textile activity. Other activities which were included in this segment are presented in others. Comparative figures were classified accordingly. |
| (4) | Real Estate – Through its subsidiary BSRE the Company is engaged in generating yield from commercial centers, logistics centers and offices, land for the purpose of capital appreciation and deriving long-term yield as well as in the development of the "Wholesale Market" residency project. |
| (5) | Others – Alon Blue Square through its 100% subsidiary, Alon Cellular Ltd, operates an MVNO network in Israel and through Diners Club Israel Ltd., an associate held at 49%, which operates in the sector of issuance and clearance of YOU credit cards to the customer club members of the group, by Dr. Baby Marketing and Distribution 888 Ltd. 100 % held subsidiary as a retailer and wholesaler in the baby products sector and by Bee Group Ltd 100% held subsidiary which operates the logistic center in Beer Tuvia. |
