Directors' Report

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Group sales for the 52 week period were $3,632m, an increase of $138m, or 4.0% over the previous financial year.

Parent Company sales were $3,569m, a comparable increase to 2011 of $179m or 5.3%. This was achieved against a continuing difficult economic environment and increasing competitive pressure in the market. The bulk of the sales increase registered in the Parent Company reflects sales increases from existing supermarket business, new stores and store refurbishments.

Operating profit for the Group increased by 2.9% to $140.6m. The result for the year included an increase in Other Income (11.4%) and Operating Expenses (11.8%) as revenue from suppliers, members and advertising expenses are included for the first time. Operating Expenses also included a one-off non-cash property impairment charge of $9.2m and higher distribution costs as a result of higher fuel costs.

Operating profit for the Parent Company increased by 11.1% to $94.2m reflecting the additional revenue and advertising expenses. Similarly profit before distribution to members for the Parent Company is $105.2m compared to $93.9m

It gives your Directors great pleasure to present to you the 87th Annual Report of Foodstuffs (Auckland) Limited, covering the Company’s operations and financial results for the year ended 26 February 2012.

last year, an increase of 12.0% including the adjustments referred to above. The final result reflects strong core margins and represents a solid performance in the current economic environment.

The Group cash flow from operating activities was also strong during the year and compares favourably to 2011 which, due to the timing of the year end, only included eleven of the twelve main monthly creditor payment runs. With prudent management, the Group remains well positioned to fund future store development, invest in the underlying technology infrastructure and continue to provide financial support to members.

DISTRIBUTION TO MEMBERS

The total distribution to members reported in the 2012 Statement of Comprehensive Income includes rebates and the fully imputed dividend paid in 2011:

The distribution to members payable in June

18,825 16,973

107,660 102,639

The rebate to be paid in 2012 is $4.6m less than

the full taxable profits from trading with members

for the year. This represents a shift away from

paying out the full taxable profits from trading

with members. The Board’s decision to depart

from previous practice has not been taken lightly

and reflects the fact that the taxable profit in

the current year has benefited from a short term

reduction in tax depreciation on software assets.

The Board expects this position to reverse in

future years with the increasing investment in the

Group’s technology infrastructure and therefore

considers the 2012 distribution to be prudent.

The Board remains committed to ensuring the

returns to members are maintained in the spirit of

the co-operative system in which profits earned

are returned to members in direct proportion

to the business transacted with the Company.

The greater the support members give to the

Company the greater the benefit they receive.

The rebate on Private Label products purchased

through the Company’s warehouses has been

retained at 7.5%. This represents a supplementary

margin on Private Label products in addition

to the margin enjoyed at the time of sale.

After taking into consideration the future

requirements for funding of new stores, the

rate of the overall support rebate has been

maintained at 1.75% resulting in a total value

of this rebate of $55.0m, again payable by

way of 5 year Rebate Investment Vouchers.

The Rebate Investment Vouchers attract interest

at an initial rate of 8% per annum, with the interest

rate subject to annual review by the Board. The

Board has elected to maintain the 8% interest rate

despite the ongoing low interest rate environment

currently prevailing in the New Zealand economy.

Remaining supplier and other rebates

are payable in cash.

FINANCIAL POSITION

A history of steady earnings and cashflow

growth, together with a managed capital

expenditure program has placed the Company

in a strong and conservative financial position.

Total assets have increased by $49m to

$1,617m. Inventory levels remain in line with

prior years. Trade receivables and related party

receivables have increased by $5.8m and $5.7m,

respectively. Property, Plant and Equipment

increases primarily represent the acquisition and

development of retail and warehousing properties.

Financial ratios continue to be maintained within

the requirements set down by the Company’s

principal lenders.

The Group has refreshed $300m of its committed

bank facilities during the year for a further three

years and as a result is well placed for future store

development and investment in the business.

FINANCE TO MEMBERS

The Company continues to play an important

funding role for members by assisting with

finance by way of direct advance or finance

guarantee to help members in the setting up

of new businesses, funding of changes of

ownership and the financing of major upgradings

and/or extensions to existing businesses.

As at balance date, loans to members stood

at $62.1m and bank overdraft and term loan

guarantees by the Company on behalf of

members amounted to $249m. This gave a total

financing commitment at balance date in respect

of members of $311.1m compared to $296.3m

at the end of the previous financial year.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE

The Directors are not aware of any matter or

circumstance since the end of the financial year,

not otherwise dealt with in this report or the

Group financial statements, that has significantly

or may significantly affect the operation of the

Company, the results of those operations or

the state of affairs of the Company or Group.

AUDITORS

PricewaterhouseCoopers have conveyed

their willingness to continue in office.

SUMMARY AND APPRECIATION

The Group has had another successful trading

year which has seen good sales growth particularly

in the Parent Company, consistently improved

profitability and distribution to members

higher than the previous year. We believe we

are well placed to face any challenges.

The grocery industry is highly competitive

requiring highly motivated and skilled personnel.

The commitment of our executive and staff

has been outstanding throughout the year.

Additionally, the Company is well served by

the members who are involved with committees

and of course our fellow Directors in achieving

the Company’s purpose and direction.

The Directors extend their appreciation to the

executive and staff for the first class job done

during the year under review and to those

members who have been active on committees.

We also express our thanks to our fellow Directors,

for the time they have spent on Company affairs

and for the contribution they make to the

Company’s progress. The excellent co-

operation and common sense of purpose which

exists between the Directors, management,

executive, staff, committee representatives

and members, continues to be a major

strength underpinning the Group’s success.

Grant Prince advised the Board in February of

his plans to take up a new opportunity in the

supermarket industry in Australia and resigned

from his position as Deputy Chairman and Director.

Grant had been in our business for over 20 years

and had made a significant contribution as an

owner/operator, Director and as a member of

numerous Board Committees. Our fellow Directors

and executive would like to thank him for this

and wish him all the very best for the future.

On behalf of the Board

Robert Redwood Murray Jordan Chairman of Directors Managing Director

The Group has had another successful trading year which has seen good sales growth particularly in the Parent Company.

National Progress Report

SALES

The year ending February 2012 saw continued growth

for the Foodstuffs Group, with combined revenues

of $8.33 billion, up $262.92 million, or 3.26%.

Distributions to members totalled $385.08 million,

an increase of $42.29 million over the previous year.

STORE DEVELOPMENTS

The year under review was another busy one from a

property development perspective, with a number

of new stores opened and a large number of store

refurbishments.

During the year, New World stores were opened in

Tokoroa, Stonefields in Auckland, the Auckland CBD

(Metro), Churton Park in Wellington, Kaiapoi, and Ilam

in Christchurch. New PAK’nSAVE stores were opened

in Kaitaia, and Papakura, and a new Four Square store

was built at Cooper’s Beach in Northland.

Extension and/or refurbishment projects were

completed at the New World stores at Victoria

Park in Auckland, Brookfield in Tauranga, Island

Bay in Wellington, Broadway in Palmerston North,

Northwood in Christchurch and the township

of Rolleston. A refurbishment project was also

completed at Wairau Road PAK’nSAVE on Auckland’s

North Shore.

The Aramoho and Cloverlea Four Squares were

extended and refitted to align with brand standards,

while other Four Square store extensions and/or

refurbishments were undertaken at Patea, Shalimar,

Waikanae, St John’s, National Park, Mahora in

Hastings, Dannevirke, Awapuni, Kaponga, Waterloo in

Lower Hutt, and Amberley in Canterbury.

The year under review was another busy one from a property development perspective, with a number of new stores opened and a large number of store refurbishments.

New fuel facilities were built as part of the Kaitaia

PAK’nSAVE store development and the PAK’nSAVE

Wairau Road refurbishment project. Miramar New

World developed a fuel facility on an ex-BP site

opposite the supermarket.

New markets and extensions to existing markets

provided an additional gross retail floor area of 25,635

square metres, an increase of 7.7% nationally.

TOTAL STORE NUMBERS

At the end of February, Foodstuffs co-operative

members operated 48 PAK’nSAVE stores, 137 New

World stores, 275 Four Square stores, 150 On The

Spot convenience stores, 18 Henry’s Beer, Wine and

Spirits outlets, 8 Gilmours stores and 43 fuel sites.

RETAIL INNOVATIONS

The companies continue to review and fine-tune their

store formats introducing a number of innovations in

each case.

Foodstuffs (Auckland) Limited (Foodstuffs Auckland)

opened its first store in the Auckland central business

district – New World Metro, catering for those living

and working in the inner-city. The store has a strong

emphasis on fresh food.

Foodstuffs (Wellington) Co-operative Society Limited

(Foodstuffs Wellington) set up a pop-up New World

store in Tawa as a temporary shopping solution for

customers while it builds a permanent New World in

the suburb. The new store, which will open in 2012,

will feature a new produce format with new style

fixtures and ticketing.

Foodstuffs (Auckland) Limited - Annual Report 2012

Page 13: Foodstuffs (Auckland) Limited Concise Annual Report 2012 · Foodstuffs (Auckland) Limited Concise Annual Report 2012 Fresh: Keeping it fresh for our customers 7 days a week.

The development of New World stores at Ilam and

Northwood provided the opportunity for Foodstuffs

South Island Limited (Foodstuffs South Island) to

further develop the small ‘coffee to go‘ areas which

appear in some earlier developments and pilot

purpose built cafés. Customer reaction to these cafes

has been favourable and Foodstuffs South Island will

assess how they enhance the customer experience

with a view to determining the suitability of the café

concept for future developments.

The adoption of concrete polished floors and open

ceilings have proven to be well suited for the New

World Ilam environment and this same format is to be

incorporated into the rebuild of New World St Martins.

The combination of vinyl floor tiles and suspended

ceilings will still form part of the South Island’s New

World format. To enhance the developments in this

area, new composite floor tiles which are harder

wearing and able to withstand the rigours of

supermarket foot-traffic have been installed at the

New World stores in Kaiapoi, Rangiora, and

Northwood. The advantage of these tiles is that they

do not require a strip and polish and are less prone

to cracking than the clay tiles which have previously

been used.

The new refrigeration colour “Steel Alloy” adopted in

the South Island has proved to be less imposing than

the old ”Brunswick Green” colour. To ensure a smooth

changeover within stores and that a patchwork of

colours does not occur, each store expressing

interest in the new colour has been asked to provide

a programme for changing the colours of their

refrigeration and checkouts within a defined

timeframe.

As part of a continued focus on enhancing the

shopping experience, a lower produce cabinet was

used in New World Ilam to create an impression of

space, and there is a continued emphasis on, where

possible, providing serve-over meat counters and

displaying a working bakery environment to

customers.

The three national co-operatives have continued

to invest in their wholesale infrastructure, to support

growth objectives, improve the efficiency of

operations, and provide better servicing for the

membership.

REGIONAL INITIATIVES

Foodstuffs Auckland completed the first phase of

“Programme Lightning”, a programme initiated in 2010

to improve operating efficiencies and to establish the

platform which will underpin the Foodstuffs

Auckland's vision and strategy. Key objectives for the

programme include more effective buying, tighter

inventory controls, timely analysis of sales and

performance data, and more efficient processes and

operating practices. The future business model has

been defined, business tool requirements specified,

and a Business Readiness Programme rolled out in

eleven stores. This continues in 2012 when Foodstuffs

Auckland will commence the design and build phase

of the Programme.

Foodstuffs Auckland launched a second major

programme of work titled Programme Foundation,

to ensure a solid foundation for its growth and upon

which to build Programme Lightning and other

The three national co-operatives have continued to invest in their wholesale infrastructure, to support growth objectives, improve the efficiency of operations, and provide better servicing for the membership.

NATIONAL MARKETING

During the year, Foodstuffs (N.Z.) Limited

strengthened our ability to build our brands nationally

with the establishment of a Foodstuffs Group

marketing function. This development has allowed us

to improve cost and efficiency in areas such as public

relations and improved media rates negotiations. It

has also allowed us to connect more effectively with

our supplier partners to launch national programmes

such as the successful Wattie’s Truckload Blowout.

Other activities will be brought into the national

Foodstuffs Group as appropriate in order to improve

quality and/or cost outcomes for the Foodstuffs

Group.

Key highlights of the national team included an

increased impact of PAK’nSAVE advertising and

promotions. This included talked about programmes

such as the New Zealand Apples campaign, ‘1987

Again’ during the Rugby World Cup, and Meat

Lovers' Week. The team also improved our speed to

market – responding to topical opportunities as well

as combating competitive fuel promotional offers. In

addition to the national promotional schedule for the

New World banner, the overall brand strategy has also

been under the microscope and a major restage will

occur in 2012.

Also integrated into the group marketing function is

our ongoing work programme designed to bring in

rebates from transactional services for members.

This work will continue throughout 2012 with an

added emphasis on understanding the implications

and appropriate strategies for the acceptance of

contactless ‘scheme-debit’ cards in the future.

transformational business initiatives. Programme

Foundation has already significantly enhanced the

company’s technology capability and will deliver new

data centres and core network capability in 2012.

Following on from the success of the National Careers

website, Foodstuffs Auckland has looked at other

human resource-related initiatives to collaborate on

with sister companies. As a result of dialogue with

Foodstuffs Wellington, the two companies have rolled

out Sonar 6 – an online performance management

programme. In Foodstuffs Auckland’s case, the

tool is now being used at the support centre and

for management and supervisory staff across all its

supply chain sites.

Foodstuffs Wellington began developing a new

warehousing facility for AF Logistics Limited. The

facility is being built in the Wellington harbour-side

suburb of Seaview and is due to be completed in

August 2012.

Foodstuffs Wellington also began investigating an

on-line shopping network and in early 2012 made

the decisions to proceed to implementation.

The new facility is scheduled to launch in early 2013.

Foodstuffs South Island announced Project

Greenfields to develop a new ‘state of art’ distribution

centre in Hornby, Christchurch. Construction of the

facility began in April 2012. The new building will total

40,000 square metres making it the largest single food

distribution centre in New Zealand. It is scheduled to

be operational by March 2013.

NATIONAL ADVOCACY

Foodstuffs (N.Z.) Limited continues to coordinate

national submissions and advocacy on public policy

issues. A major focus in this last year has been

the alcohol reform process which culminated in an

Alcohol Reform Bill being introduced to the House

last August. Foodstuffs’ submissions resulted in

a number of helpful technical amendments to the

Bill as reported back by Select Committee. More

recently, we have been working to secure support for

a Supplementary Order Paper to amend clause 105A

of the Bill which introduces a single alcohol display

in a non-prominent location. Our intent is to ensure

that the Government’s policy intent can be achieved

in a manner that provides certainty for business with

minimum compliance costs.

National submissions were also prepared for: the

Commerce Select Committee’s Inquiry into the Price

of Milk; the Smoke-free (Controls and Enforcement)

Amendment Bill, passed in July last year; Ministry of

Health’s consultations on Smoke-free regulations; the

Department of Labour’s Minimum Wage Review; the

Productivity Commission’s Review of International

Freight; the Ministry of Transport’s consultation

on changes to road-user charges; the Ministry of

Education’s Review of Industry Training; the Ministry

of Justice’s Investigation of Minimum Pricing of

Alcohol; and the Consumer Law Reform Bill.

In July 2011, Immigration NZ granted Foodstuffs’

application to have bakers added to the Immediate

Skills Shortage List, providing formal government

recognition of a skill shortage in this occupation.

The change has made it easier for stores to recruit

and retain foreign bakers on temporary work visas.

Further changes to accident compensation, food

regulation and employment law are expected to be

introduced in 2012 and Foodstuffs will continue to

monitor these developments and to provide advocacy

as needed on behalf of its members.

In conclusion, as Chairman of Directors, I would like to

express my appreciation to my fellow Directors and to

the executives and staff of the respective Foodstuffs

companies for the commitment and enthusiasm they

show in ensuring the ongoing progress, development

and success of the wider Foodstuffs organisation.

You could say that being a grocer is in Vinod’s blood, he migrated to New Zealand with his family when he was twelve and after working in a dairy factory his father got the finances together to buy a Four Square in Auckland’s Onehunga. It was in his dad’s store that Vinod saw a copy of the Grocer’s Review with a picture of the then brand new New World Clendon and decided that one day he’d own a supermarket ‘like that one’. Little did he know that one day he would, in fact, own that very same supermarket. Vinod left school aged 15 and went to work at McWaters Four Square in Pukekohe, his duties included packing groceries in brown paper bags and mopping the floor, if he was really lucky he got to do the deliveries in the van. In the early 80’s Vinod’s father was given the opportunity to own and operate a Cut Price store, a Foodstuffs Welling-ton brand. The family all moved South and Vinod worked for the family business whilst completing his Foodstuffs (Auckland) Management Development course. In the mid 1980’s, Auckland called again with an opportunity at New World Green Bay as Grocery Manager.

It was at Green Bay Vinod met his wife Theresa and they now have three children, Jayden 13, Isabelle 8 and Priscilla aged 6 months. Next Vinod made the move to PAK'nSAVE Lincoln Road to work for owner/operator John Street as Assistant Grocery Manager and he continued his education at night school gaining an NZ Institute of Management Diploma. Vinod later became a Buyer, joining the PAK'nSAVE Ranging Committee and then Store Manager, a position he held for six years. After being awarded a Trainee Operator Scholarship in 2006, Vinod achieved what he set out to do all those years before and took ownership of New World Clendon. Vinod built a great culture at New World Clendon and the store went from strength to strength under his ownership.

In March 2012 Vinod became the owner of PAK'nSAVE Silverdale, a fresh new store in a fresh new catchment for PAK'nSAVE.

Fresh new catchments. PAK'nSAVE Silverdale opened in March 2012 serving a brand new customer catchment from the Whangaparoa area.

PAK'nSAVE Silverdale is owned and operated by Vinod Bhaga, pictured here with his wife and three children.

We will build competence through creativity and innovation, speed to market, flexibility through productivity and being light on our feet, and excellence in everything we do.

The year can best be described as probably

the most challenging trading environment

experienced in recent years. The Retail Division

continued to focus on delivering improved results

across a broad spectrum of key performance

measures including operating standards, market

share, store and supplier relationships, store

profitability and a dedicated focus on brands.

The great momentum being built for National

initiatives across the spectrum of advertising,

customer relationship marketing through

Loyalty New Zealand and common retail brand

standards within the three co-operatives is

very pleasing, and the new trading year will

deliver even more focused brand support with

full involvement of the sister companies.

Maintaining customer relevance in last year’s

economic environment, as customers continued

to seek more value at lower cost, continued

to be challenging but as we provided the best

value available in the market we continued to be

successful. We constantly sort to improve the

efficiency of what we did both at the support centre

and at stores to enable us to provide the best offer

in the market to our customers that was sustainable.

At the start of the year we focussed on up-skilling

the operations team to deliver a far superior added

value support process to the member stores

through optimisation reports which concentrated

on a team based review.

The key achievements in fresh foods included the

forecasting system which is now firmly embedded

in the seafood business and providing for sales

growth through better ability to forecast sales

and therefore better buying and monitor costs.

The liquor review strategy recommendations

have been implemented and the strategic

meat review is underway.

We built competence in the grocery, chilled

and frozen arena through the recruitment of an

experienced and passionate category management

base and, while this continues to be a work

in progress, we recognise the need to build

credibility and confidence with members. The

vision for the category management team is to

develop a centre of excellence that will deliver

improved category results. This team is very

engaged in building joint business plans with

suppliers and is also focused on improving our

key metrics, one of which is speed to market.

PAK’nSAVE

Great success has been achieved in national

marketing initiatives, particularly in regard to ‘Bulk

Week’, ‘$5 Week’ and the ‘Mid-Year Blow Out’.

The nationally advertised PAK’nSAVE stickman

campaign remains incredibly successful, achieving

one of the highest recognition rates of any brand

NEW WORLD

National alignment and initiatives continued to get

stronger this year with the introduction of a national

Group Marketing Manager, Steve Bayliss. Following

this appointment, New World has been the first

focus, working toward a new brand campaign

and retail layer fighting price perception. National

product and price has strengthened with more

products being agreed and will continue to help

reinforce value to our customers.

In addition New World continued to sponsor elite

netball in New Zealand including the sponsorship

of the New Zealand Silver Ferns. This was an

incredibly successful national sponsorship which

is now filtering down to a local level. Most of our

New World operators have a strong relationship

with their local netball club and are providing great

support at the grass roots level.

FOUR SQUARE

Our heritage retail brand Four Square continued to

grow despite the difficult trading environment with

many initiatives to further strengthen the brand and

maintain the momentum that has been built over

the last couple of years.

GILMOURS

Gilmours has enjoyed excellent sales growth

versus last year.

A core range was established resulting in creating

focus on driving sales through range and presence

in-store and on the web, advertised in brochure

publications and increased support for suppliers.

CONCLUSION

We are working very hard to make the next financial

year a very successful one. In these current

uncertain economic times we are fortunate to have

three very good retail offerings, be it PAK’nSAVE

with lowest prices, New World offering great value,

a wide range of product and best service or our

Four Squares who offer true convenience.

In addition we are very encouraged by the results

being achieved by our Gilmours stores. We have

a great platform from which to continue to be

successful in the wholesale market and thereby

ensuring that we fulfil the Foodstuffs Auckland’s

mission of “Feeding New Zealand”.

We will build competence through creativity and

innovation, speed to market, flexibility through

productivity and being light on our feet, and

excellence in everything we do.

We will invest in strategic initiatives that increase

our market share, continue to excite our customer

and execute and deliver world class standards.

The retail team very much looks forward to the

challenge of the year ahead and delivering to our

customer’s expectations.

The year ahead will be challenging but we are up

for it! We are on the bus!

We constantly sort to improve the efficiency of what we did both at the support centre and at stores to enable us to have provided the best offer in the market to our customers that was sustainable.

"New Zealand has arrived where most cultures began: food is now far more important than fuel. It’s social, aspirational, and the time has come for our supermarkets to demonstrate the passion and discernment that shoppers see across the media and the wider market. Delicatessen is a great place to start. Lets differentiate the department from commodity categories with an evolving and contemporary range and inspiring service".

As a result of the change in the New Zealand corporate tax rate from 30% to 28% effective from 2012, the relevant deferred tax balances expected to reverse in future periods have been measured using the effective tax rate of 28%.

As a result of the change in tax legislation enacted on 27 May 2010, with effect from the beginning of the 2011/12 income year, the depreciation rate on buildings with an estimated useful life of 50 years or more was reduced to 0%. This reduction in the depreciation rate has significantly reduced the tax base of the Parent and Group's buildings as future tax deductions for building depreciation will no longer be available. This resulted in an increase in the deferred tax liability in relation to buildings in the Parent of $15,526,000, and in the Group of $105,921,000, which was recognised in the tax expense in 2011.
