UNITED KINGDOM - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The UK, a leading trading power and financial center, is the second largest economy in Europe after Germany. 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 aimed 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 21% by 2014. The Bank of England (BoE) implemented an asset purchase program of up to £375 billion (approximately $605 billion) as of December 2012. 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). In 2012, weak consumer spending and subdued business investment weighed on the economy. GDP fell 0.1%, and the budget deficit remained stubbornly high at 7.7% of GDP. Public debt continued to increase

Overview

Ted Baker PLC (Ted Baker) is a British clothing retailer. The company leverages its distribution channel and geographical spread to commercialize choice of products worldwide and drive its growth. Increasing costs and debt obligations are cause of concern for the company to look upon. Nevertheless, it can utilize opportunity arising from growing online shopping trend coupled with expansion strategy to strengthen foothold internationally. However, growing competition, volatile macroeconomics and fast changing fashion trends could pose several challenges to the company’s profitable growth.

 

Strengths

Increasing Margins and Return

Ted Baker registered strong revenue margins and return in fiscal year 2013. The company reported 18% increase in total revenue in 2013 compared to that in 2012. The revenue growth resulted in increased gross margin, which increased 62.38% in 2013 compared to 61.31% in 2012. Revenue growth and increased gross margin was complimented by its controlled costs. The company’s operating cost as percentage of sales declined 88.40% in 2013 from 88.75% in 2012. As a result, the company also reported increased returns in 2013 as compared to those in previous years. The company's return on equity (ROE) was 21.84% at the end of fiscal year 2013 compared to 20.61% in 2012. Its return on capital employed was 29.70% in fiscal year ended 2013 compared to 28.02% in 2012. Also, its return on assets, return on fixed assets, and return on working capital were 13.12%, 56.45% and 62.66%, respectively in 2013 compared to 13.19%, 58.83% and 53.52% in 2012. Increasing profitability ratios indicate the company’s sturdy performance and its ability to deliver returns expected by its shareholders. The decreased cost and increased returns led to overall growth of its operating margins. The company’s operating margin increased 11.60% in 2013 from 11.3% in 2012. Its net profit margin increased 8.49% in 2013 from 8.14% in 2012. Increasing margins due decreased operating cost reflect strong operational efficiency of the company.

For the fiscal year ended January 2013, the contribution by Retail and Wholesale channel to the total revenue of the company stood at 81.7% and 18.3%, respectively. The company's multi-channel distribution network has enabled it to reach wide market and strengthen foothold in the market.

 

Geographical Diversity

Geographical diversity bestows the company with wide customer base, strong brand presence and growth opportunities across emerging markets. Ted Baker has spread operations in Europe, the US, Middle East and Asia. Presently, the company has operations in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, France, Greece, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Kuwait, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the UAE, the UK and the US. As of January 2013, the company operated 96 stores, 220 concessions and 10 outlets in the UK and Europe; 16 stores, 33 concessions and four outlets in the US; and 31 stores as well as four concessions in Middle East, Asia and Australasia. Geographically, the company operates its business through three segments, namely, the UK and Europe; the US; and Middle East, Asia and Australasia. For the fiscal year ended January 2013, the UK and Europe accounted for 80.2% of the company's total revenue, followed by the US & Canada with 17.3% and the remaining 2.5% from Middle East, Asia and Australasia. Such wide presence makes the company independent of any particular economy.

 

Weaknesses

High Operating Cost

Ted Baker’s revenues increased 18% to £254.5m in 2013 from £215.63m in 2012. However, the company registered an increase in its operating expenses during the year. The distribution cost of the company was £101.4m in 2013 as against £82.4m in 2012, and contributed 39.8% of the total sales. Its administration costs also increased to £33m in 2013, as against £29.6m in 2012, indicating an increase of 11.3%. The increase in the distribution costs of the company was partly due to an increase in the average retail square footage and turnover related property costs. Besides, the company incurred exceptional costs, which include both distribution costs and administration expenses of £2.6m in fiscal year 2013. These expenses relate to the rent of stores that was incurred before commencement of trading. It incurred £0.8m as an impairment charge in respect to retail asset development in the UK, which failed to deliver its potential.

 

Debt Covenants

The company reported highly leveraged capital structure, which could affect its expansion and growth plans. Up to the end of fiscal 2013, the company reported total debt obligation of £19.86m, consisting of credit facility and multi-currency revolving credit facility with The Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays. As of 2013, it has three year borrowing facility of £40m compared to £40m in 2012, which is due to expire on 2015. As a result, the company reported substantially high debt to equity ratio of 20.08% and debt to capital ratio of 0.20% for fiscal year 2013. The company incurred this debt to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs. Any reduction in revenue and operating cash flows could hinder the company’s ability to repay interest and principal, resulting in default. Hence, such huge debt increases the financial burden on the company, limiting the availability of cash for its growth.

 

Opportunities

Rising Popularity of Online Shopping

The company can benefit from the rising popularity of the online shopping trend, owing to the ease and convenience offered by online shops. It can utilize the opportunity to market its presence across the world through Internet services, thereby increasing its customer base. According to analysts, the online retail sales in the US are expected to reach $229 billion in 2013. The market is expected to grow at a compound average growth rate (CAGR) of 10% from 2009 to 2013. Moreover, according to Internet World Stats as on December 31, 2011, the internet penetration in the world population stood at 32.7%, compared to 28.7% in 2010 with a growth rate of more than 528.1% during 2000-2011. This changing trend encouraged many retailers to focus on the new internet savvy customer segment and venture into this growing retail format. As the company also operates online shopping, it can benefit from market expansion and expect higher sales from the Internet channel.

 

Global Expansion Plans

Ted Baker plans to expand reach by increasing the number of its stores in different parts of the world. The company has plans to establish two stores within Gatwick airport, one in the Gatwick North terminal, in June; and another store in the Gatwick South terminal, by end of the 2013. The company intends to establish first store in Belgium. In Europe, it has plans to establish concessions in Germany, Spain, France and the Netherlands. In the US, it has plans to commence eight new concessions; and commence first outlet store in Toronto, Canada. The company has plans to launch a new e-commerce platform to support anticipated growth in domestic and international market, including local language sites. In Asia, it has established second store in Shanghai, China; and another concession through a departmental store in Tokyo, Japan. It intends to establish first outlet store in Shanghai and another store by mid-2013. Ted Baker is also exploring opportunities in new territories such as Turkey, Japan, Russia and Korea. Such expansion will offer the company new sources for revenue.

 

Threats

Highly Competitive Market

Ted Baker operates in a highly competitive retail market, which threatens its market position. With large retail chains widening their product offerings to cater to a broader customer segment as well as increase their margins, the competition among specialty retailers increased. Product diversification transformed several specialty retailers into general retailers offering a variety of products, which were once exclusive to a particular retail format. As a result, competition among all the retail formats is at its peak with hard discounters taking the biggest market share. The specialty stores now have to compete with the supermarkets and hypermarkets that began to offer branded premium apparel. Thus, besides domestic supermarkets and apparel specialty stores, Ted Baker faces competition from major retailers such as Marks and Spencer Group plc and Next Plc. among others. Its competitors have larger and substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than the company, and better access to merchandise and deeper market penetration. To make a mark in the retailing industry, the retailer has to differentiate its product offerings by reducing its price and increase its marketing activities, which could affect profitability. Failure to sustain competition could affect the company’s sales and results of operations adversely.

 

Fast Changing Fashion Trends

Ted Baker specializes in commercializing consumer fashion apparel and accessories and could be affected by rapidly changing fashion trends. An inherent characteristic of the fashion industry is the short life cycle of products, dependence on trends, the seasonality of sales and the susceptibility to abnormal changes in weather conditions. Its business depends principally on customer preferences and changing trends. The company has to adapt quickly to these changes to increase or maintain its business in the competitive apparel industry. Usually, Ted Baker takes decisions related to product designs several months in advance and customer acceptance for such designs cannot be measured. The company’s business could be at risk as it manufactures its clothes well in advance and the trend may change by the time the merchandise reach the customers. Currently, all the retail players are facing pricing pressure throughout the supply chain, including the introduction of new or enhanced products at lower price; reduction of wholesale prices on existing products; increase in retailer demands for allowances, incentives and other forms of economic support and control over production and operating expenses. Inability to recruit talented personnel and study the trends in the marketplace could affect the company’s business.

 

Change in Labor Wages/Laws

The changing labor laws in its operating markets could limit the company’s ability to find qualified personnel to fill vacant positions at its stores. The company’s business is also subject to various external factors, including the availability of a sufficient number of qualified persons in the local operating markets, unemployment levels within those markets, prevailing wage rates, changing demographics, health and other insurance costs and adoption of new or revised employment and labor laws and regulations. According to the National Minimum Wage in United Kingdom, the workers are entitled to a minimum wage of not less than £6.19 per hour currently. The minimum wage was set to reach £6.31 effective October 2013. In the US, government increased the minimum wage rate from $7.75 per hour in 2010 to $8.5 an hour in December 2012. With its huge employee base, the company is bound to come under pressure due to the pay hikes in different geographies. Failure to pay the wages in time could also lead to labor strikes that might result in huge losses for the company. Any such increases in near future and new or revised labor laws, rules or regulations could impact the company’s profit margins.
