■ WES has announced its intention to demerge Coles following a review of its group portfolio.
■ We think the demerger makes sense given long term structural headwinds in the supermarket sector and it frees up capacity to invest in higher returning businesses and/or pursue M&A opportunities.
■ While we make no changes to earnings forecasts, our SOTP-based target price increases to A$44.65 (from A$41.18). We believe a greater focus on the existing stronger returning businesses should lead to improved growth prospects and a higher trading multiple.
Coles to be demerged WES has announced its intention to demerge Coles. The decision follows a review of WES’s portfolio and management’s intention to target a higher capital weighting towards businesses with strong future growth prospects. For FY19, we estimate Coles represents 34% of group EBIT while Home Improvement represents 33%. Following the demerger of Coles, Home Improvement’s percentage of earnings will rise substantially to 50% of group EBIT. This composition will likely change further over time as management pursues acquisitions and divestments. Following the demerger, WES intends to retain a minority stake of 20% in Coles to support strategic alignment between WES and Coles in relation to various growth initiatives such as digital and data. The demerger is subject to final board approval, third party consents, and regulatory and shareholder approvals. If approved, the transaction is expected to be completed in FY19. In addition to the demerger, WES also announced that current Coles Managing Director, John Durkan will step down and be replaced by Steven Cain.

Given Rob Scott’s focus on return on capital we believe the demerger makes sense. Coles generates only 9% ROC but consumes approximately 60% of WES’s capital employed. This is well below Bunnings ANZ (47%), Department Stores (26%), Industrials (18%) and Officeworks (16%). By demerging Coles management can focus on deploying capital to better returning businesses within the portfolio and free up capacity to make value accretive acquisitions. We think this move makes sense and given our bearish view on the long term outlook for the supermarket sector, a WES without Coles looks to be a stronger business that should trade on a higher multiple. As a standalone entity we value Coles on an enterprise value of A$17.7bn based on a 12x FY19F EV/EBIT multiple, in line with global supermarket peers.

While we make no changes to earnings forecasts, our SOTP-based target price increases to A$44.65 (from A$41.18). The increase in our target price is based on a roll forward of our valuation to FY19 earnings forecasts as well as higher valuation multiples for Home Improvement and Officeworks. We believe a greater focus on the existing higher returning businesses should lead to improved growth prospects.

Coles to be demerged WES has announced its intention to demerge Coles. The decision follows a review of WES’s portfolio and management’s intention to target a higher capital weighting towards businesses with strong future growth prospects. WES’s two largest divisions are Coles and Home Improvement (includes Bunnings ANZ and Bunnings UK & Ireland). For FY19, we estimate Coles represents 34% of group EBIT while Home Improvement represents 33%. Following the demerger of Coles, Home Improvement’s percentage of earnings will rise substantially to 50% of group EBIT. This composition will likely change further over time as management pursues acquisitions and divestments. Following the demerger, WES intends to retain a minority stake of 20% in Coles to support strategic alignment between WES and Coles in relation to various growth initiatives such as digital and data. WES also intends to retain a substantial stake in flybuys which it sees as strategically important going forward. The demerger is subject to final board approval, third party consents, and regulatory and shareholder approvals. If approved, the demerger is expected to be completed in FY19. Shareholders would receive new shares in Coles proportional to their existing shareholding in WES. In addition to the demerger, WES has also announced that current Coles Managing Director, John Durkan will step down and be replaced by Steven Cain. Steven Cain is currently CEO of Supermarkets and Convenience at Metcash (MTS) and has a strong retail background both domestically and overseas. He was also an advisor to WES on its takeover of Coles Group in 2007. Figure 2: WES pre and post Coles demerger

We value Coles at A$17.7bn While limited financial details have been given about the Coles demerger including capital structure and dividend policy, under our assumptions we value Coles on an enterprise value of A$17.7bn. This is based on a 12x FY19F EV/EBIT multiple, which is in line with global supermarket peers. We also assume Coles will incur an additional A$30m in corporate costs as a separately listed entity.

Below we set out the key financial metrics for WES pre and post the Coles demerger. Based on WES’s last closing price and our Coles equity valuation, we estimate the market is valuing WES post-demerger at A$30.27 per share. This represents 18.1x FY19F PE versus WES’s pre-demerger multiple of 17.4x. By demerging Coles, management can focus on deploying capital to better returning businesses within the portfolio and it frees up capacity to make value accretive acquisitions. Given our bearish view on the long term outlook for the supermarket sector, we believe a WES without Coles is a stronger business that should trade on a higher multiple.

Maintain Hold rating on a higher A$44.65 target price While we make no changes to earnings forecasts, our SOTP-based target price increases to A$44.65 (from A$41.18). The increase in our target price is based on a roll forward of our valuation to FY19 earnings forecasts as well as higher valuation multiples for Home Improvement and Officeworks. Given Coles represents 34% of group EBIT but consumes approximately 60% of capital employed, we believe the demerger will free up significant management time and capital to focus on the existing higher returning businesses that should lead to improved growth prospects.

Downside risks to our valuation and target price include the demerger not obtaining the relevant approvals, failure of the retail businesses to adequately follow consumer trends, and inability of management to execute on cost out initiatives. Upside risks include better-than-expected growth in the housing market and continued execution of growth strategies in the retail divisions ahead of our expectations.
