United Kingdom - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The UK, a leading trading power and financial center, is the third largest economy in Europe after Germany and France. Over the past two decades, the government has greatly reduced public ownership and contained the growth of social welfare programs. Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanized, and efficient by European standards, producing about 60% of food needs with less than 2% of the labor force. The UK has large coal, natural gas, and oil resources, but its oil and natural gas reserves are declining and the UK became a net importer of energy in 2005. Services, particularly banking, insurance, and business services, account by far for the largest proportion of GDP while industry continues to decline in importance. After emerging from recession in 1992, Britain's economy enjoyed the longest period of expansion on record during which time growth outpaced most of Western Europe. In 2008, however, the global financial crisis hit the economy particularly hard, due to the importance of its financial sector. Sharply declining home prices, high consumer debt, and the global economic slowdown compounded Britain's economic problems, pushing the economy into recession in the latter half of 2008 and prompting the then BROWN (Labour) government to implement a number of measures to stimulate the economy and stabilize the financial markets; these include nationalizing parts of the banking system, temporarily cutting taxes, suspending public sector borrowing rules, and moving forward public spending on capital projects. Facing burgeoning public deficits and debt levels, in 2010 the CAMERON-led coalition government (between Conservatives and Liberal Democrats) initiated a five-year austerity program, which aims to lower London's budget deficit from over 10% of GDP in 2010 to nearly 1% by 2015. In November 2011, Chancellor of the Exchequer George OSBORNE announced additional austerity measures through 2017 because of slower-than-expected economic growth and the impact of the euro-zone debt crisis. The CAMERON government raised the value added tax from 17.5% to 20% in 2011. It has pledged to reduce the corporation tax rate to 23% by 2015. The Bank of England (BoE) implemented an asset purchase program of up to £325 billion (approximately $525 billion) as of February 2011. During times of economic crisis, the BoE coordinates interest rate moves with the European Central Bank, but Britain remains outside the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU).

Key Organizational Changes

The continuing uncertainty over economic recovery and the sovereign debt crises could adversely affect company’s earnings, and could continue to exert pressure on its growth prospects in the long run.Increased ConsolidationIn the UK and in continental Western Europe, there has been an increase in the consolidation among the major grocery retailers. There are two significant mergers of large grocery retailers from the past few years in the UK. Through the acquisition of ASDA the Wal-Mart has entered the UK market as one of the largest grocery retailers. In both France and Spain two major grocery retailers Carrefour and Promodes merged together to form the largest retailer. These consolidations have increased the bargaining power of the major grocery retailers and have intensified price competition among these retailers and also have concentrated on the sales channels.

Overview

 

John Lewis Partnership Plc (John Lewis) operates a chain of departmental and supermarkets stores across the UK. It operates 29 department stores and eight at home stores in the UK under the brand name of John Lewis and a chain of 283 supermarket in the UK under the brand name of Waitrose. It sells both food and non-food items. The partnersship’s strong foothold in the UK market, broad product portfolio, employee ownership and Greenbee services gives competitive edge over its competitors. Its limited geographic concentration and recent product recalls reamin a concern for the company. In addition, the increasing manpower costs, intense competition in the sector and the slowdown of European economy may impact its performance. But, its future growth is triggered by growing demand for private label products, new store openings and the increasing online retailing.

 

Strengths

 

Greenbee Services

The partnership’s Greenbee, direct services business, provides selected services to its customers and for their homes. It is operated by the partnership’s subsidiary namely, John Lewis Plc. Under this business, the partnership offers services including insurance, travel, phone and broadband, and partnership cards. Insurance services includes covering personal health, home, pets, personal belongings, wedding and life cover policies. It provides insurance services through Greenbee Insurance which changed its name to John Lewis Insurance in 2010. Travel service comprises of holidays trips, hotel bookings, flight bookings, honeymoon packages, car hiring and travel insurance. Greenbee Phone and Broadband service offers competitive packages for both phone and broadband connection. These services proved successful with customers as demonstrated by the high renewal rates experienced. Thus providing such services takes the Partnership into new markets.

 

Strong Foothold in the UK

The partnership engages in the retail business in the UK. The partnership operates a store network of 37 John Lewis Shops in the UK which comprises 29 department stores and eight at home stores in the UK under the brand name of John Lewis. It operates a chain of 283 supermarket in the UK under the brand name of Waitrose. It ranks among the UK’s top ten retail businesses. Recently, the partnership’s two of the strongest retail brands in the UK - John Lewis was voted the UK’s Favourite Retailer and Waitrose the UK’s Top Food Retailer. Waitrose is the sixth largest supermarket chain in the UK with 4.5% market share in 2011. Such strong foothold in the UK market makes the partnership a tough competitor in comparison to its close business rivals. With its strong market presence, it is well placed to widen its market share and customer base.

 

Broad Product Portfolio

Broad product portfolio facilitates the partnership to widen its customer base thus, increasing its market share. It also insulates the partnership from risk associated with overdependence on a particular product line. It also helps to earn higher revenues as it provides balanced avenues for revenue generation. The deep and wide selection of products include both food and non-food items. Food items comprise of baked foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, wines, bacon, sausages, ice cream, wines, cheeses and honey. Non-food items includes consumer electronic items, groceries, household items, consumer household electrical appliances, apparel, footwear, furniture, home furnishings, gifts, toys and related accessories. It principally operates through two segments namely John Lewis and Waitrose. The John Lewis segment offers about 350,000 product lines which include home furnishings, sofas, bedroom furniture, kitchenware, electronic items, electronic household goods, computers and laptops, sports and leisurely items, fashion apparel, gifts, toys and related accessories. The Waitrose segment stores stocks over 18,000 product line comprising of beef, chicken, fresh fruits and vegetables, bacon, sausages, ice cream, wines, cheeses and honey. This Waitrose segments operates Leckford Estate produces crops, milk, meat, fruit and vegetables for sale in our supermarkets. Thus the partnership’s broad portfolio of products helps the partnership to reduce the impact of market volatility in one particular product segment and provides economic stability.

 

Weaknesses

 

Limited Geographic Concentration

John Lewis has been one of the most prominent brands in the UK. However, it operates only 29 John Lewis department stores and eight at home stores in the UK and 283 Waitrose supermarkets and four Waitrose convenience stores which is far lesser than its competitors like Carrefour and Wal-Mart. John Lewis operations are also limited to the UK market which restricts its revenue source. A wide geographically located store network helps the retailers to diversify the risks associated with a particular market. It also helps generate economies of scale from their large scale operations. However, John Lewis lacks these benefits due to its geographical concentration.

 

Opportunities

 

Growing Demand for Private Label Products

The company stands to benefit from the increasing demand for private label products. As shoppers are seeking out cheaper deals for their food and drink supplies, private label products are accounting of ever larger proportion of sales. The Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries of the EU (CIAA), in its latest Data & Trends report, noted a shift in consumer spending towards private label goods. According to the report, the penetration of the private label reached 48% in traditional retailers, and 94% in discounters. In the UK, almost every Top 30 retailer saw an increase in private label share. The UK also has one of the most advanced private label markets in the world (valued at around $100 billion). Improvements in packaging and quality have helped to remove the stigma attached to buying store brands. Carrefour too markets and distributes various private label products. Thus, the company can leverage its broad product offerings to garner higher market share and increase its profitability.

 

New Store Openings

The partnership remains committed to growth through seeking new stores and formats in previously unaddressed catchments and by taking its brands to new customers, including in overseas markets. In November 2011, the partnership announced to open a 100,000 sq ft department store in York. The company plans to open the store by 2013. It also plans to open five shops in 2012, including John Lewis at home shops in Chichester and Newbury as well as first flexible format department store in Exeter. The partnership entered into an agreement with Salmon Harvester Properties Ltd to open Waitrose shop in Vauxhall by the end of 2012. In October 2011, the partnership opened John Lewis at home shop in Tamworth. In September 2011, the partnership opened at home shop in Chester. In June 2011, announced plans to open a John Lewis at home in Ashford as early as autumn 2012. Waitrose in partnership with Fine Fare Food Market LLC (FFFM) opened its first shop in Bahrain covering 22,000 sq ft. Thus, new store openings, by the partnership provide a strong opportunity to increase its market share and customer base. It also presents a choice to the partnership for its consolidation and expansion in the UK markets makes it more competitive when compared to its close business rivals.

 

Increase in Online Shopping

The rising popularity of online shopping offers a huge growth potential for the company. With life getting busier and Internet penetration getting deeper, the retailing industry is undergoing a change favorable to the industry. According to industry estimates, the UK online grocery sales will double in the next five years. This is mainly due to increasing mobile commerce and internet by the people to buy food. Worth just £365m in 2000, UK online food & grocery sales have grown rapidly to reach £5.9 billion in 2011 and is estimated to reach £11.2 billion by 2016, according to the Institute of Grocery Distribution. By 2016, online sales will make up 6% of total food & grocery spends, with consumers using multiple channels to buy their groceries. The partnership operates e-commerce websites namely, www.johnlewis.com and www.waitrose.com. These websites sells its stores merchandise. The partnership's www.waitrosewinecom website was ranked 14th position by share of UK visits. They also provide information about various products, their prices, stores and various services offered by the partnership. It also operates John Lewis Direct (internet retail) and Waitrose Direct (internet retail, mail order and wholesale including export). Thus the rising popularity of online shopping allows the company to share the cost advantage with the end customers as the middlemen get eliminated.

 

Threats

 

Economic Downturn

The global economic slowdown and vague recovery scenario are likely to create challenges for the company over the next few years. Though economic recovery continued during the first half of 2010, the global economy was affected by the turmoil in sovereign debt markets during the second quarter of 2010. The weak global economic scenario forces governments to cut spending and healthcare is a prime target. In accordance with the recent FED releases in the US, Fed lowered its growth forecast for the U.S. economy, as it now expects gross domestic product to rise at just a 2.2% to 2.7% rate in 2012. In addition, World Bank also lowered its world economic growth of 2.5% in 2012 and 3.1% in 2013, well below the 3.6 % growth for each year projected in June 2011. The global growth forecast were lowered in accordance with the grim situation persisting in the Euro region, as the bank expects that if the euro area debt crisis escalates, global growth would be about 4% points lower. Furthermore, according to the World Bank estimates, high income economies across the globe are expected to expand nearly 1.4% in 2012 as the euro area shrinks 0.3%, as it witnessed sharp downward revisions from growth forecasts last June of 2.7% and 1.8%, respectively. Furthermore, according to experts, the global economy is expected to have a sluggish growth in 2013, with output growth dragged down by a weak performance anticipated in the euro zone. The continuing uncertainty over economic recovery and the sovereign debt crises could adversely affect company’s earnings, and could continue to exert pressure on its growth prospects in the long run.

 

Increased Consolidation

In the UK and in continental Western Europe, there has been an increase in the consolidation among the major grocery retailers. There are two significant mergers of large grocery retailers from the past few years in the UK. Through the acquisition of ASDA the Wal-Mart has entered the UK market as one of the largest grocery retailers. In both France and Spain two major grocery retailers Carrefour and Promodes merged together to form the largest retailer. These consolidations have increased the bargaining power of the major grocery retailers and have intensified price competition among these retailers and also have concentrated on the sales channels. Increasing consolidation of grocery retailers could affect the company's margins by increasing short-term promotion costs.

 

Growing Competitive Environment

The high growth potential in the retailing industry has been encouraging many players to venture into the lucrative market. Many business houses have diversified into this industry while the exiting ones have expanded their product offerings to attract a wider customer base. The industry has also been witnessing consolidation with the larger ones acquiring the domestic retailers to increase their market presence. John Lewis competes with various discount stores and supermarkets apart from independent retail stores. The major competitors include ASDA Stores Limited, Tesco PLC, Morrisons and Sainsburry’s. With the strong financial arm and store network, these retailers pose a major threat for the partnership. Thus John Lewis will be required to spend heavily on its marketing and branding activities apart from offering discounts on its products to attract customers. This may have a major impact on its profitability.
