IRIworldwide.eu PULSE REPORT About the Report 2 This pet report is one of 10 super category reports designed to show high-level comparison and analysis for retail markets across major countries in Europe. This report contains data gathered from countries across Europe. This market was split into the following categories: dog food, cat food, other pet food and pet accessories. The report highlights key metrics, such as total sales figures, market trends, category shares, and winners and losers for Europe and individual countries. The data has been sourced from IRI retail databases and Eurostat, the statistical branch of administration for the European Commission. The countries included in the report are France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom (UK). The market channels used for each country in this report are as follows: Country Channels used UK Hypermarkets, supermarkets, drugstores and impulse outlets ES Hypermarkets, supermarkets, hard discounters, and drugstores, including the Canary Islands DE Hypermarkets, supermarkets, hard discounters and drugstores NL Hypermarkets, supermarkets, hard discounters and drugstores IT Hypermarkets, supermarkets, small self service, hard discounters and drugstores FR Hypermarkets and supermarkets For analytical purposes, the data sourced from available retail databases has been consolidated to provide consistent results. However, for some countries it is not possible to source data pertaining to certain categories. In these instances, it has been documented in the notes section found at the end of the report. PULSE REPORT On the Radar 3 ECONOMIC FIGURES INFLUENCING CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR Source: Eurostat, September 2013 After five years, the pet macro-category has now also been affected by the economic slowdown. Its value growth across Europe in Q2 2014 is still positive, but has slowed almost to zero (+0.2%). This caused a difficult start to 2014, demonstrating lower than average growth in 2013 (+1.7% year ending Q4 2013). The pet care categorys performance is now far from the growth it had in the past, and its trend now worse than the FMCG trend. The limited value growth was driven by an increase in prices, more so than by an increase in volumes (more premium sectors in small sizes matter to this value growth). Different trends coexist: single serve premium products grew together with low priced products by private labels in most countries. So high price and low price grew at the same time.

CATEGORY VALUE SALES IN THE LAST YEAR CATEGORY SHARE OF VALUE IN THE LAST YEAR Europe includes: France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom TOP 5 CATEGORIES: EVOLUTION Value sales () and % change versus a year ago Source: IRI retail databases; Period ending 29 June 2014 KEY TRENDS The value of the European market barely grew across the six countries in the year ending Q2 2014. With only +0.2% growth, this was the worst trend seen over the latest four years. Europe has seen decelerated growth, which has slowed in Q2 2014 pushing pet care down to near zero. Half of the six countries experienced a decrease in sales (the Netherlands, Germany and the UK). Conversely, Spain appeared as the best performer (+4.6%) and Italy stayed positive (+1.2%). Cat food is the core business of pet care (standing for 50.1% of the category) but shows a limited growth (+0.5%) that is only slightly above category growth. Dog food is growing, and other pet food shows a double digit negative trend that adversely impacts the total growth of the pet care category, notwithstanding the limited importance of other pet food on the total (3.3%). Pet accessories is showing the most positive trend. PULSE REPORT Europe 6 CATEGORY KEY FACTS The main contributor to the limited growth of pet care across Europe is dog food (+26.3 million ). A smaller contribution comes from cat food (+20.9 million , where the driver is snacks and treats), and a visible contribution also comes from pet accessories. The dog snacks and treats segment is becoming increasingly more important and significant due to its growth in value and volume in all European countries. Wet cat single serve and, to a lesser extent, dry cat food are the drivers for cat food and where brands are investing the most. The main areas of innovation by major brands is on premium tastes in small sizes and user friendly packages. Unless we consider the growing importance of the oral care aspect in snacks and treats, which was introduced some years ago, no new concepts or innovations have entered the market. In these tough economic times, private label is growing across most of the markets, and represents a cheaper but acceptable alternative offer compared to major brand. Pet care appears to be an increasingly polarised category. Economy products are growing (private label) as well as premium products in small sizes. The shopper of dog food may behave very differently from the shopper of cat food. This presents a key challenge for manufacturers who must respond by taking specific action in different categories. The marketplace continues to become more competitive for branded products due to increased promotional activity and the further growth of private label.

m i l l i o n s Total Sales % vs. YA KEY TRENDS Growth is still mainly driven by cat food. Wet cat food growth was moderate (+0.6%), whereas dry cat continues to be dynamic (+5.4%). Snacks and treats is the fastest growing category. Cat snacks and treats (+16.1%) grew through assortment development (+13.1%), and dog care and treats (+9.3%) benefitted from more new product development (+12.8%). Growth in the cat population had a positive impact on cat food and pet accessories, thanks to cat litter (+3.0%). All other pet food shows negative growth, with the lowest growth in bird food (-10.5%). The dog food trend was positive for the first time since several quarters. Wet food growth remains negative (-2.3%), whereas dry food is positive (+4.3%), thanks to care and treat. Main meal (+0.5%) has also made a contribution to growth. PULSE REPORT France 8 TOP LOSERS: VALUE SALES CHANGE VERSUS A YEAR AGO () TOP WINNERS: VALUE SALES CHANGE VERSUS A YEAR AGO () Source: IRI retail databases; period ending 29 June 2014 Euros, in millions CATEGORY KEY FACTS Cat food is the main contributor to the market value growth, showing 35 million Euros of new sales. With the exception of multi-serve, all cat food sectors are very positive: Dry cat +5.4% Single serve wet cat +2.6% Snacks cat +16.1% Pet food volume sales are increasing, driven by SKU range (+1.7%) and promotional activity (+8.0%). The assortment in pet food tends to increase in each segment, with the exception of wet dog. This proves how strategic this category continues to be for retailers, particularly with the development of the value offer. 34.6 10.3 4.8 0 10 20 30 40 Cat Food Dog Food Pet Accessories - 4.9 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 Other Pet Food .

Normal sales are showing slight growth. Cat food, which contributes more than half of the value share of the main category, is stable in value due to the rise in average prices; however, there were dips in volume. The significant decline in Aldi and supermarkets (400-799 square meter) has resulted in an overall decline of the pet care and food categories. Discounters, which occupy approximately 44% of the value share in pet food, show maximum decline for dog food followed by cat food. Apart from marginal growth in cat food and pet accessories, all other pet foods show decline in value. Only pet accessories is showing positive development in volume. Within pet accessories, cat litter is compensating for the value decline observed in other sectors in pet accessories.

Value growth in snacks and wet food offset the decline seen in the other types in the category, while drugstores and hypermarkets contributed the most to value growth. Cat litter, with a double digit value growth in hard discounters, is the growth driver for pet accessories. Dog food is the most declining category, so much so that an increase in the average price would not offset the major volume decline of this category. Most of its value loss came from the discounters. Only the snacks sector displayed growth in dog food, as both dry and wet food experienced a dip in value sales. Dry dog food is showing a decline, mainly driven by the size range from 2.5kg to 4.9kg. This is the most popular selling package size range. This range has contributed to around 90% of the decline in this sector. Below 2.4kg pack sizes are the only growing pack sizes in dry food. Decline in bird food and small animal feed was driven by a dip in non-promoted everyday sales; hypermarket contributes most of the value loss in both the sectors.

The value growth of cat and dog food is derived from increasing prices. Cat food remained the largest sector of the category, accounting for 52.6% of total value sales, and showed an increase of 0.5%, which is far lower than dog food. Pet accessories remained positive (+4.1%) and other pet food is still heavily losing value sales (-7.3%). Dry pet food continues to out perform wet pet food. Wet single serve drove the performance of cat food with a growth of 3.0% in value sales, and dog food continued on a positive trajectory for wet small and medium products (+3.0%). Snacks and treats remains the fastest growing segment of the category, especially for cat (+24.6%), but also for dog food (+6.7%). E u r o s ,

CATEGORY VALUE SALES IN THE LAST YEAR CATEGORY SHARE OF VALUE IN THE LAST YEAR Source: IRI retail databases; period ending 29 June 2014 TOP 5 CATEGORIES: EVOLUTION Value sales () and % change versus a year ago 419 143 25 651 PULSE REPORT Italy 12 CATEGORY KEY FACTS The main contribution to the growth of the pet care category came from dog food, with a 7.7m increase in sales. The growth of cat food is worth 3.5m, which is significantly lower than past values. Pet accessories continue to be positive, and are the second leading contributor to the sales growth of the pet care category with a 5.7m increase. Products in small packages continue to drive the positive performance of the market, especially in cat food. This confirms that the cluster of shoppers who buy premium products (with user friendly packages and special tastes) are not affected by the difficult economic situation. The increasing attention to pets health is reflected in the considerable growth of the dog functional snack and treats segment. Cat snack and treats is still a niche market, but with strong potential of growth. Pet accessories are growing faster than cat and dog food, while other pet food is continuously losing value and volume sales. Since both promotional activities and private labels show a relevant growth in most of the segments, pet care is increasingly subject to high levels of competition the percent of promoted volumes in pet food reached 29.7%, with a growth of +4.8%, compared to 24.9% last year. Private label reached a 41.8% volume market share, down -2.0% points versus last year. Pet care is not a category that is highly impacted by the recession, as it is still growing far above the average for fast moving consumer goods (FMCG). However, this growth in value goes together with a decline in volumes. In general, pet care continued to grow in Italy, but the focus on saving is most important. This does not mean that brand loyalty is decreasing, but rather that more shoppers look for their preferred brand when it is on sale. Shopper interest in pet welfare continues to be strong and, as a consequence, functional and enriched products performed well.

m i l l i o n s Total Sales % vs. YA KEY TRENDS Total pet food dropped in value (3.9%), and pet accessories showed an increase in value sales (0.8%). Unit sales dropped by 4.3%. The average price per unit increased by 1.3%. Cat food represents 50.6% of total category value. This category declined by -3.2% value sales compared to last year on a moving annual total (MAT) base. However, turnover of Q2 2014 grew by 0.7% versus Q1 2014. Dog food represents 28.1% of total category value. This category declined by -1.9% compared to last year on a MAT base. However, turnover of Q2 2014 grew by 0.4% versus Q1 2014. Pet accessories is the third largest segment, and represents 17.8% of the total category value. It grew by 0.8% (MAT, in value). However, it declined by -6.6% in turnover compared to Q1 2014. Other pet food showed a decline in turnover of 21.0% (MAT), and a decrease of 43.3% compared to Q1 2014.
PULSE REPORT The Netherlands 14 CATEGORY KEY FACTS Cat food declined 5.3m of value sales. This decrease in value is due to the drop in cat kibble (2.5m) and wet cat food (3.1m). The smallest segment, other cat food, is growing, but does not compensate the losses from the other two segments. Dog food lost turnover in all segments, with the exception of frozen dog food. This segment grew by 18.4%; 1.3m. Other pet food lost 2.9m of value. 97.7% of value comes from two segments, namely rodent food and bird food. Both segments dropped in value. Bird food lost 2.3m and rodent food 0.5m. The main driver of pet accessories is cat litter. This segment grew by 0.5m; +1.9%. Three manufacturers are responsible for 85.4% of total pet category value: private label (31.4%), the leader (27.8%) and the follower (26.1%). This share grew by 0.6 point versus a year ago (84.8%). Private label is split into top, mainstream and bottom. Top and mainstream are both losing turnover (-4.4m), while bottom has increased by 2.8m. Promotional pressure is higher than a year ago (13.7% versus 12.6%). The difference between Q2 (12.3%) and Q1 2014 (12.1%) is smaller (+0.2 point).

m i l l i o n s Total Sales % vs. YA KEY TRENDS The pet food market showed positive growth due to the expansion of two of its three segments: dog food (+4.5%) and cat food (+5.6%). Other pet food (-0.2%) is decreasing in value sales. Private label has reached 48.4% market share, and even higher in the dog food segment (55.0%). Dry dog food experienced major growth (+3.7%). Wet dog food increased by only +2.3% in value, as this segment has a higher level of private label presence (+74.5%). Wet food is a more expensive product, but private label is focused on formats with large volume, whereas branded manufacturers are focused on single serve products with a higher value and less weight. Cat food experienced a growth of 5.6% in value. This increase in value is due to the success in single serve products. PULSE REPORT Spain 16 CATEGORY KEY FACTS All categories continued to grow. Dry dog food (the largest and cheapest segment), along with snacks for dogs and cats (the newest and more expensive) were the sectors with the most noticeable growth. On the other hand, private label continues to gain market share, absorbing most of the growth of the market. Snacks and prizes, or treats for dogs and cats, continues to gain presence, increasing in volume. It is important to highlight the relevance of prizes for the cats category, which has almost doubled in sales. Both account for a large number of the launches in this sector as a way of gaining added value and differentiation. Private label brands are gaining share. This major increase is in value, as opposed to volume. This demonstrates the impulse of retailers own brands of major quality and added value for their brands that are not bought on low prices alone.

m i l l i o n s Total Sales % vs. YA KEY TRENDS Value sales of pet care in the UK declined by 0.5% during the year ending June 2014. This is a turnaround from the corresponding period last year when value growth was 3.1%. Cat food (the largest sector in terms of value) has driven the market decline, with its performance of -0.9%. Dog food is maintaining growth at 1.2%. Pet accessories are static, while other pet food has declined by 27.1%. Levels of promotional volume for pet food increased to 44.9% this year, up from 39.3% last year. Currently (12 weeks ending Q2 2014), the % of promotional volume is 49.7%, and this is driven by cat food (60.9%), whereas dog food is 40.8%. Private label products have seen an annual decline in value sales during this year of -2.9% and hence have had a share loss of 0.5% points to the corresponding time last year. PULSE REPORT The United Kingdom 18 CATEGORY KEY FACTS Dog food value growth this year is attributed to strong growth in the dog treats and chews sectors both in year on year % change (7.2% and 3.8% respectively) and in value contribution. Dog wet food although had a small value growth of 0.1%, its volume declined by -3.1%. Standard dry dog food declined both in value and volume (-1.0% and -5.3%). Super premium dry dog food value grew by 6.6%, but its volume declined by -0.1%. Cat wet single serve products (pouches and foils), which currently have an annual share of 61.9% of total cat food, saw value decline by -0.2%, and volume increase by 1.7%. This is due to the increased levels of promotional activity, where consumers have been taking advantage of deeper discounts. Cat wet multi-serve (cans) saw both value and volume decline by -13.3% and -11.8% respectively. Cat treat products was the only sector within cat food to have both value and volume increase, by 16.4% and 16.7%. New product development (NPD) within total pet food last year gave a contribution of 3.5% of value sales (at a sub brand level), this years new product development has only contributed 1.7% of value sales. Last years NPD was 3.4% of cat food, and this year it was 1.0%. And, dog food last year was 3.5%, this year it was 2.5%. Although the price per kilo increased by 3.5% this year, it has slowed from 4.2% during the same period last year. Branded products increased by 2.4%, whereas private label increased by 5.5%. Private labels price increase is more than double that of last years increase which was 2.7% for these products. Although at a total pet food level there is still a trend towards smaller, more expensive packs (and this is the same for dog food), cat food trends appear to be moving toward more expensive larger packs.

In some cases, it wasnt always possible to align products across all six countries, hence the need to highlight any anomalies in the report. Those exceptions are listed below: Other pet food The UK data in this report only includes bird food, while the other countries include fish food and rodent food. Pet accessories The UK data in this report only includes cat litter and does not include pet hygiene products, aquarium accessories or pet toys. The Spain data in this report does not include this category. The Germany data in this report does not include pet toys. PULSE REPORT Resources 20 About IRI.
