Event
JBH expect 1H EBIT to be around 5% below pcp, subject to the Christmas trading performance being in line with recent months trends.
Impact
The 7.8% increase in sales is driven by the opening of 10 stores with a further six expected to open in the 2H. On a comparable basis sales decline 1.8% for the five month period to November which is an improvement from 3.5% decline for the first three months to September. Aggressive price discounting within the electrical market is reflected in the expected decline in 1H EBIT of 5% compared to pcp. We would have thought the 7.8% increase in top-line sales would have supported the profit margin as the business generates further operational benefits of scale. The EBIT decline is a concern leading us to downgrade our profit forecasts. It remains questionable if the current price discounting and margin erosion is a temporary liquidation event by competitors to clear stock or a reflection of the structural market changes posed by online competitors forcing retailers to accept a lower margin. We take a view that electrical retailing margins will remain under pressure as commoditisation and the ability to easily access products through online competitors is set to drive down traditional profit margins. JBH is actively evolving with its online offering reporting an 80% increase in internet sale, notably from a small base. Online retailers are at a distinct advantage because they avoid paying shop rents and the associated fittings and staffing costs. This competitive threat is likely to ensure tighter electrical profit margins become more of a norm rather than an exception.

Business Description JB Hi-Fi Limited (JBH) is a specialty discount retailer of branded home entertainment products. The Group's products fall into consumer electronics, car sound systems, and music and DVDs and white goods. JBH does not operate a warehouse; instead all stock is delivered directly to each store and largely stored on the shop floor.
Recommendation Impact
We revise down our longer term margin assumptions to account for what we expect to become a lower returning industry as the internet effectively lowers the barriers to entry within the commoditised electrical retailing segment.

The business has an established national network, strong brand and customer loyalty. It has cemented itself as the category killer, similar to Bunnings in Hardware.
Bear Points
Comparable sales growth will grind to a halt as consumers wallets tighten. JBH has no moat commoditised products. and sells
Physical content will be phased out within the next ten years, so will need to find other products to fill floorspace.
Financial Overview
Growth
Guidance is for FY12 sales revenue of around $3.2bn. Another 16 stores will open in FY12.
Profitability
FY11 revenue increased 8.3% to $2.96bn, gross margins up 28bps to 22%, the cost of doing business remains low at 14.5% with EBIT up 11.9% to $196m.
Financial Health
The share buy back will increase debt and reduce interest coverage from 33x to 15x utilising our forecasts for FY12.This level still remains relatively low with sufficient financial capacity to continue the store role out program.

Business Risk
Business risk encompasses all operational risk and financial risk. Companies with low business risk have the most reliable earnings streams. A change in business conditions may reduce earnings predictability and therefore increase risk. Examples are market entry of a new competitor, unfavourable shifts in the economy, changes in key management personnel, major investment in an uncertain new venture or acquisition, and increased interest burden caused by higher debt levels or raised interest rates.
Pricing Risk
Pricing risk reflects the premium or discount implied in the current price of the shares. Many growth stocks trade on high earnings multiples giving them high pricing risk though they may have low business risk. Investors should consider their risk tolerance before investing in the share market. Many investors will decide to have only low risk stocks in their portfolio though others will accept higher risk levels in order to pursue higher returns.
Recommendations
Our qualitative recommendations simple and easy to understand: are
Buy: Suitable for purchase now Accumulate: Undervalued but there is time to purchase Hold: Appropriately priced, neither buy nor sell Reduce: Sell part holding Sell: Sell all holdings now Avoid: Not investment grade
Intrinsic Value
Intrinsic Value (otherwise known as Fair or Underlying Value) is the analyst's interpretation of what the stock is worth today. The stock is considered to be undervalued when the quoted price is below this point or overvalued where the price is above it. Whether to invest in a stock will depend on consideration of the prospective return and the risk undertaken. Prospective return includes both share price moves and dividend yield. Our analysts incorporate the stock's risk in their intrinsic value. Other things being equal, lower risk stocks will have greater intrinsic value than higher risk ones. A stock becomes a buy when the quoted share price is at a discount to intrinsic value that provides a sufficient prospective return.
Economic Moats
The pursuit of high quality businesses is central to our investment philosophy. These offer the greatest gains to the long term investor, so long as they are bought at a reasonable price. The concept of economic moats is valuable in assessing the quality of a business, with the phrase popularised by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. Just as wide moats protected castles from invaders in medieval times, businesses with wide economic moats have strong defences against their profits being competed away.
