Diligence on 7-11 Budget dated January 2005
Financial Metric | | 7-11 Budget Projections | | IY / SEJ Perspective |
1. Growth in Merchandise Sales per Store Day (similar to same store sales) | | • Budget projections assume that growth in merchandise sales per store day will increase from the current level of 5% annually to 8% annually | | • The current levels of growth in merchandise sales per store day may not be sustainable without significant, additional investment in gross margin, store renovations, IT and logistics |
| | | | |
2. Gross Merchandise Margin | | • Budget projections assume that gross merchandise margin remains steady through 2008 | | • 7-11 may need to invest in gross margin in order to sustain growth in merchandise sales per average store day, and the merchandise gross margin may decline in the near to intermediate term without any developments in merchandise and procurement areas |
| | | | |
3. Gross Gasoline Margin | | • Budget projections assume the price of gas remains flat, and, as a result, the gas margin declines from 14.4 cents per gallon in 2005E to 13.8 cents in 2006 through 2008 | | • The budget’s projection of a stable gas price environment may overstate profitability. IY / SEJ would forecast a gas gross margin of 13 cents per gallon, which more closely reflects average profitability over multiple cycles of rising and falling gas prices |
| | | | |
4. Maintenance Capital | | • Budget projections assume that 7-11 will shift its capital budget more toward new store growth and away from maintenance and IT capital expenditures | | • The existing stores and the infrastructure supporting the stores still requires significant investment and, instead of de-emphasizing maintenance and IT capital expenditures, spending should be accelerated now that 7-11 generates sufficient cash flow to make such investments |
| | | | |
5. New Store Growth | | • Budget projections assume 100 new units in 2005 growing to 200 in 2008 with a stated long-term goal of 300 units per year | | • 300 new stores per year is possible in the long run, but, over the next few years, 50-60 new stores per year is a more realistic target. The Company’s capital must be directed at the deferred investment in IT and existing stores as described above. In addition, 100 new stores in 2005 may strain existing infrastructure and create a risk of opening too many underperforming stores. |
| | | | |
6. International Royalties | | • Budget projections assume that royalties from emerging markets will grow at approximately 20% per annum | | • Growth in royalties from emerging markets may be lower because of the inherent difficult of profitably opening new stores in such markets, country risks, regulations, and so forth |
| | | | |
7. Interest Costs | | • Budget assumes that 7-11 will continue to benefit from below market interest rates as a result of IY /SEJ’s direct guarantee of 7-11’s commercial paper program and direct loans to 7-11 at below market terms | | • It is unrealistic and impossible to continue direct supports including guarantee, from the Japanese IRS’s standpoint |

Note: IY / SEJ has not developed independent projections for 7-11 but have indicated the current budget is overstated. After discussions with IY / SEJ, for illustrative purposes, the 7-11 budget has been adjusted for two cases: (i) a scenario in which 7-11 achieves only 75% of the forecasted EBITDA growth rate from 2006E-2008E; and (ii) a scenario in which 7-11 achieves only 50% of the forecasted EBITDA growth rate from 2006E-2008E.

After discussions with IY / SEJ, for illustrative purposes, the 7-11 budget has been adjusted for two cases: (i) a scenario in which 7-11 achieves only 75% of the forecasted EBITDA growth rate from 2006E-2008E; and (ii) a scenario in which 7-11 achieves only 50% of the forecasted EBITDA growth rate from 2006E-2008E.
Citigroup extrapolation for 2009E and 2010E was arrived at by maintaining net sales growth, EBITDA margin, EBIT margin and capital Expenditures constant compared to 2008E.
