On our estimates, were we to assume that seasonal/home products increase c7% in FY17 (high-end of mgt guidance) while other products remain flat (so that group sales growth ends up at the low-end of the guided range), gross margins would increase by c40bps (ceteris paribus).

Instilling confidence

Successfully navigating the tough macro… – Jumbo posted a robust end to FY’16 growing H2’16 sales (calendar H1’16) +10%. Domestic sales increased c7% in the same period, quite an impressive performance especially in the context of the tough macro (non-food retail sales -2.7%). Q1’17 has seen even stronger top line performance at group level (+11.5%), with Greece up c4%. Although mgt revealed that domestic run-rates have turned negative since mid September, we would not rush to extrapolate this trend in the remainder of the year.

Investment case

With c72% of sales stemming from Greece, Jumbo’s growth profile is primarily dependent on the domestic consumer. Return of Greece to positive LFL (sales per store c+10% in calendar H1’16) and further share gains in a fragmented market ought to help Jumbo’s Greek sales grow in the mid-single digits. Romania, Cyprus and Bulgaria are additional growth levers, but will not account for more than c32% of the sales mix in the foreseeable future on our numbers. Assuming domestic sales per store grow 3-4% in the coming years, our estimate for c6% group sales CAGR through to 2021 looks well underpinned. On the cost side, deflationary pressures are weighing on gross margins but are likely to be at least partly offset by positive product mix in FY17 (faster growth of higher-margin home/seasonal products) and tight operating cost control. FX and transport costs feature as side winds at this stage. Overall, we believe that Jumbo is on track to deliver mid to high-single digit EBITDA growth over the coming years, translating to EPS CAGR close to 10% over 2017-19e.

Jumbo’s cash generating track record is impressive (OCF consistently greater than 60-65% of EBITDA). With EBITDA ranging between EUR195m and EUR230m over 2017-19e, we estimate Jumbo’s FCF is set to surpass EUR140m post FY18 as capex trends down below EUR30m (assuming 1 new store per annum). Mgt has committed to continue distributing one third of profits as ordinary dividend, which would point to DPS EUR0.30-0.40 per share in the coming years, on our numbers. That being said, there is clearly scope for further returns to shareholders in the form of special dividends, similar to the EUR0.27 per share distributed in Aug 2016 (to compensate investors for the zero distribution in the previous year).

Jumbo has significant property asset holdings, owning the freehold of around half of its outlets. The BV of Jumbo’s owned property assets (land and buildings) as of end June 2016 was cEUR457mn, namely close to 30% of the current market cap. With such a significant asset base and an under leveraged balance sheet, we believe that Jumbo has numerous options to extract value from its property portfolio at some point in the future (though this is not part of mgt’s near-term plans). In any case, the property-backing should provide valuation support to the stock even in periods of high risk attached to Greek equities.

Jumbo’s margins have demonstrated impressive resilience remaining broadly unchanged over FY14-16 despite deflationary pressures from fiscal consolidation in Greece and more expensive sourcing of goods as a result of the appreciation of the USD. Falling transport costs have been instrumental in protecting Jumbo’s profitability, as has been tight opex control (e.g. opex per store -1% in FY16). However, with the impact from lower freight rates now dissipating mgt guides for significant gross margin contraction in FY17. Our view is that the positive product mix (faster growth of home/seasonal products) will offset – at least partly –deflationary pressures helping Jumbo deliver mid single-digit EBITDA growth. Although our net profit forecast stands c6% above mgt’s guidance, we caution that mgt’s budget has in the past proved too pessimistic and that mgt’s main underlying assumption (Greek LFL ranging between slightly negative to slightly positive) is not in sync with the most recent GDP macroeconomic projections (e.g. IMF looking for GDP growth +0.7% as soon as calendar Q4’16).

Jumbo is c17% below its peak price, but on valuation terms (EV/EBITDA) the discount vs. the recent peak (in 2014) is even more pronounced (>35%). Jumbo also trades at c30% PE discount vs. EU retailers, despite offering a comparable (or in some cases superior) 3-year growth profile and a stronger balance sheet. On a cash adjusted basis, Jumbo is trading at <11x CY2017e PE, which represents quite an attractive entry point for long-term investors, we reckon. We still base our PT on a blended methodology (DCF and target multiples), effectively placing the stock at c15x CY2017e PE, not too demanding in our view given the long-term growth profile and short-term profit resilience.

Valuation

On our estimates, Jumbo is trading at c13x CY’16 PE and c7x EV/EBITDA. From a historical viewpoint, the latter represents a <10% premium to the average since 2007, which is more than justified in our view given Jumbo’s significantly stronger financial position and the successful track record of growing sales and profits in a recessionary environment. The chart on the right hand side shows that the EV implied by our price target of EUR15.0 per share is similar to Jumbo’s EV at the most recent peak in absolute terms (i.e. cEUR1.8 bn) but on >30% higher 1-year forward EBITDA.

Jumbo does not really have any direct peers given the unique product mix. As a result, the following table is presented solely to put Jumbo’s valuation into some context. Compared to the broad European retail space, which currently trades at c8-9x EV/EBITDA, Jumbo currently stands at c20% discount (on 2017e) despite the fact that Jumbo offers a similar earnings growth profile and enjoys one of the strongest balance sheets among EU retailers.

Below we present an overview of our DCF methodology. This is predicated on a 10% WACC, medium term EBIT CAGR of 4.7% and long-term growth rate of 1%. It still incorporates sustainable NOPAT margins of c18% from c19.6% in 2019e, as we expect gross margins to fade towards c50% (albeit still above management’s long-term guidance of 48%). Our DCF assumes cash conversion (OCF/EBITDA) of c75% in the medium term, in sync with levels delivered in the recent past. A summary of our DCF can be seen below:

FY17 outlook

1) Top line

Jumbo has managed to sustain positive sales growth in Greece since 2012 despite the unprecedented challenges that the business has faced in recent years. The performance in 2016 was quite impressive with Jumbo delivering 4.8% domestic sales growth, with run-rates strengthening in H2 (calendar H1) as the impact from the imposition of capital controls started to abate. Romania and – to a lesser extent – Bulgaria remain growth engines and have been seeing accelerating momentum but the Greek business will remain the primary driver of top line and profitability going forward, especially as the domestic economy seems to have reached the tipping point (IMF forecasting Q4 GDP +0.7% yoy).

Jumbo sales growth breakdown

Source: IOBE, Company data, Eurobank Equities Research

Looking ahead into 2017, mgt guides for sales growth of 4-7% at group level. Taking into account the store-rollout plan, which provides for the opening of 3 POS, we estimate this translates to 2-5% organic growth coupled with c1-2% growth from new capacity. Mgt also revealed that the low end of the guidance is predicated on Greek LFL sales -1%/-2% while the upper end of the guidance assumes slight growth in Greek LFL. Mgt admitted that the guidance is out of sync with the Q1 performance (group sales +11.5%, Greece +4%), but pointed out that current run rates in Greece are negative. It also emphasized that visibility around Greek macro is rather low, noting that more clarity will be provided at the January trading update.

That being said, our baseline scenario is more optimistic than mgt’s budget and is underpinned by the abovementioned IMF estimates which point to calendar Q4’16 being the inflection point for the Greek economy and CY17 experiencing a strong turnaround (GDP +2.8%). Our updated estimates for Jumbo incorporate group sales growth of +7.8% predicated on Greek sales +3.5% (+4% in Q1’17) and average store density at group level (sales per store) c+6%, similar to FY16.

It is worth emphasizing that the correlation between Jumbo’s domestic sales density and consumer confidence has recently been questioned, as Jumbo has been growing its organic sales in a period during which consumer confidence has been hovering around multi-month low levels. In this respect, we think there is upside risk from a pick-up in consumer confidence as the govt delivers on the reform program and secures the disbursement of the related loan tranches, especially the EUR5bn that will be channelled to the clearance of arrears (to be disbursed by calendar Q1’17 according to the program provisions).

Beyond 2017, we still believe that Jumbo can sustain at least mid-single digit growth (5-6%). We remind investors that our forecasts for Jumbo’s Greek operations are hardly over-ambitious, as they imply 3-4% growth in sales per store with domestic store sales density not returning to the 2009 level until 2021.

2) Costs

Of Jumbo’s cost base, some 63% relates to raw materials/COGS (including transport costs) and another c17% to labour costs. The remaining cost base of cEUR100m is a mixture of rents (3%), depreciation (5%), and other administrative/third party expenses.

Focusing on the gross margins, these have demonstrated impressive resilience ranging between 52% and 54.4% since 2006. As we have reiterated several times in past reports, Jumbo’s gross margins depend primarily on three factors: FX (mainly EUR/USD), transport costs and product mix. In more detail:

- FX: o The depreciation of the EUR vs. the USD has made imports from China more

expensive for Jumbo, with the margin pressure peaking in Q1-Q3 2015 (calendar). At the current juncture, the EUR/USD does not feature as a major swing factor as it seems to have stabilised near the 1.10-1.12 range since the beginning of 2015.

o On the other hand, it is interesting to point out that the Chinese yuan remains on a downward trajectory (c-3.5% vs the USD year-to-date), and is likely to act as a tailwind for margins in FY17.

- Transport costs

o Transport costs currently make up c19% of Jumbo’s COGS, we estimate, and have declined significantly over the last 3 years as a result of lower oil prices and overcapacity in the freight industry. Lower transport costs were the key tailwind for Jumbo in FY16, with the average price of container exports from Chinese ports down c28% in the 12-month period following 5-6% declines in FY14-15.

o As the chart below shows, container shipping rates have recovered substantially from the record low reached in Q1 2016, as the impact from the overhang of new supply delivered in previous months has started to abate. However, on our understanding, although pricing has recovered somewhat, the balance between supply and demand points to rates remaining relatively subdued through to 2018. Thus, on our estimates, unit transport costs are set to be flattish in FY17.

- Product mix: o Jumbo’s highest-margin category is home and seasonal items. As the chart

below showcases, these accounted for just 20% of the sales mix in 2004 but have now exceeded 55%. In contrast, toys now represent less than 30% of the mix vs. 50% in 2004. Growth in home/seasonal products will most likely continue to outpace growth in the other categories, providing a boost on margins. We stress that the margin differential between the traditional toy segment and home/seasonal items can be as high as 30 pps.

Jumbo mix by product category

- Greek-specific issues:

o Continuing deflationary pressures and aggressive competition from struggling supermarket chains are factors weighing on margins in Greece. In addition, the small (1%) VAT hike in June 2016 is an extra headwind facing Greek retailers, especially as affordability issues make it extremely challenging for companies to pass this on to consumers.

Overall, according to mgt’s comments gross margins are set to decline in FY17 and may contract as much as 300bps depending on the evolution of the abovementioned drivers. However, our updated estimates point to a less pronounced decline (-130bps). In fact, we actually consider our estimate conservative given that a potential further depreciation of the renminbi will cushion Jumbo’s gross margin contraction. Our understanding is that risks to the renminbi remain on the downside.

Estimates

We summarise the changes to our estimates in the table below. Overall, we end up with just slightly higher EBITDA numbers vs. our previous estimates as we expect tight monitoring of operating costs to more than fully offset the effect of the contraction in gross margins. With regard to the latter, we have filtered through the recent pick-up in freight rates (since July) which has effectively rendered transport costs a side wind for Jumbo in FY17 (assuming spot rates for the remainder of the year).

Consistently outperforming guidance…

At this stage, it might be useful to present a brief overview of Jumbo’s actual performance over the last 3 years compared with mgt’s guidance as communicated at the start of each financial year (i.e. in September-October). The results are laid out in the table below.

As can be seen, as a result of the tough macroeconomic backdrop in Greece mgt has been basing its budget on quite conservative assumptions at the start of each financial year. The end result has proved much better, with top line growth consistently beating expectations despite several headwinds each year (e.g. austerity measures, capital controls). Overall, Jumbo has managed to sustain adj. net profit growth in the low to mid-single digits in both FY14 and FY15 and low teen growth in FY16. The actual result delivered was significantly above the initial guidance and, in fact, exceeded even our estimates at the time. The exception was FY15 when the actual result was slightly below our estimate at the start of the period, but this represented an impressive performance in the context of the political turmoil and the escalation of the Greek crisis in the first half of 2015 (second half of Jumbo’s FY15).

Jumbo managed to beat our estimates (EEe) once again, reporting H2 EBITDA 4% above EEe and 7% above consensus on the back of opex containment which more than offset the gross margin pressure (-120 bps in H2). In more detail, H2 sales of €265.8m (+10% yoy) were already pre-released driven by 7% growth in Greece (despite Jumbo operating 2 fewer stores yoy), 17% in Bulgaria and c68% in Romania (propelled by the operation of 7 stores vs. 5-6 stores in H2’15). On the margin front, Jumbo suffered a c120 bps gross margin decline in H2 (following c60bps expansion in H1) as a result of the VAT hike which more than offset lower transport costs. Operating expenses were however flat in H2 helping Jumbo deliver EBITDA of €78m, +16% yoy. Overall, in FY16 Jumbo reported sales €637.6m (+9.4% yoy) and EBITDA €183.7m (+15.3% yoy). Net profit amounted to €121.3m (+15.7% yoy), also boosted by a c€2.2m gain related to the valuation of a corporate bond. Being a retailer managing efficiently its working capital, Jumbo continues to convert the bulk of EBITDA into operating cash flow (OCF €119m in FY16, c65% of EBITDA). Jumbo delivered €85m of FCF in FY16 ending the year on a €259m net cash position. The BoD has decided to propose a final DPS of €0.27, taking the total dividend distributed in FY16 to €0.54 (fully compensating for the absence of a dividend distribution in FY15).

Feedback from the analyst meeting

The tone that mgt used was, as always, cautious with Mr. Vakakis sticking with the guided 4-7% sales growth and flat net profits for FY17. In more detail:

Current trading: Mgt suggested that despite the very strong start to the year (Q1’17 sales +11.5%), current run rates in Greece (i.e. trading since mid Sep) are negative. Mgt also emphasized that Q1 benefited from the easy comps (capital controls in July 2015).

Sales guidance assumptions: Mgt clarified that the low end of the sales guidance (4% group sales growth) is predicated on Greek LFL -1%/-2%. The upper end of the guidance (7%) assumes Greek LFL marginally positive.

Gross margins: mgt warned that gross margins will contract this year on the back of persisting deflationary trends. Mgt referred to “up to 300 bps” contraction, which we deem too pessimistic.

Guidance: Mgt clarified that the ”guidance” effectively reflects what it has budgeted for the year. We remind investors that in October 2015 mgt had guided for 2016 profits down 15-25% but the actual number delivered was 16% growth.

Dividend: mgt was asked whether it intends to alter its dividend policy. The answer was that it will stick to its usual 1/3 return policy, effectively implying that any excess cash flow will be used to strengthen the group’s profile even more.

Capex: 2017e capex is likely to be c€50m, namely somewhat higher vs. the usual €30-35m level, but the actual amount may vary depending on the phasing.

Brief company description

Jumbo is Greece’s largest retailer of toys, baby items, seasonal and decoration items, books and stationery. It operates 51 stores in Greece, 5 in Cyprus, 8 in Bulgaria and another 7 in Romania. Having started as a specialist of toy products in 1986, Jumbo has evolved into more than simply a specialist retailer of toys and baby products. The group has now become one of the biggest retail chains in Greece and is considered to be a “one‐stop” destination for consumers, who can also find books and stationery as well as seasonal and household products in its shops. Jumbo generated c72% of sales in Greece in FY16, and this figure is likely to fall to c68% by 2018, on our estimates.

Risks and sensitivities

Macroeconomic environment: The main risk for Jumbo is its high exposure to the Greek consumer demand with >70% of its sales being Greek‐based. Therefore, any significant decline in economic activity would put pressure on consumer expenditure negatively affecting Jumbo’s profitability. We estimate that each 1% movement in domestic sales is worth c1.3% on group EBITDA.

Seasonality: Jumbo generates c28% of its annual turnover in December and another c10% in each of Easter and early September. This seasonality requires merchandise purchases to be made well in advance; as a result, overstocking could result in products sitting on the shelf for longer than expected, eventually leading to inventory markdowns.

USD cost base: The group imports c80% of its products from China and pays for these in US Dollars (USD), so currency movements can have a significant impact on earnings. We estimate that a 5% change in the USD/EUR rate would impact the group’s EBITDA by c6%.

Reliance on Chairman: The Chairman Mr. Vakakis, has guided the group through its evolution from a toy retailer into a hypermarket and through its international expansion in both Cyprus and Bulgaria. Any decision on his behalf to step down could result in uncertainty about the group’s future strategy. In addition, given that the Vakakis family controls c31% of the voting rights, there might be a stock overhang were a portion of this stake to be sold in the future.
