Licensee profitabilityHow are they really doing? • 94% of pubs let on substantive agreements • Bad debts consistent at less than 0.2% of turnover • Rent concessions consistent at 0.4% of rent roll • 550 rent reviews, average 2.5% annual increase • 1 review to arbitration, found in ETI favour • 771 fully funded, fully screened quality applicants • 261 pubs to let
Current Issues • Licensing Act • Trade and Industry Select Committee • Smoking
Licensing Act 2003An opportunity for increased profits • 95% of ETI estate applying for additional hours • All applications submitted by 6 August • New hours operational from November • Increased flexibility • Improved profitability
Trade and Industry Select CommitteeA clean bill of health • Conclusions and Recommendations published 21st December 2004 • Committee confirmed that – • No competition issues exist in the UK on-trade market • The Tie for drinks supply provides benefits to licensees • Committee recommended that – • Upward only Rent Review clause is removed (ETI 1995) • Linked supply and distribution contracts removed (ETI 1999) • New licensees should take professional advice (ETI will be mandatory) • Disclosure to new licensees is improved (ETI vendor pack being introduced) • Industry-wide Code of Practice is introduced (accreditation in hand)
SmokingAnticipate of total ban within 4 years • Current proposals lack credibility • Total ban in Scotland (140 pubs), likely in Wales (407 pubs) • Industry initiative progressing well across ETI estate * No smoking at the bar * No smoking back of house * Smoking reduction plan in place • 80% of pubs have outside drinking areas • Evolution not revolution – an opportunity for quality pubs
Growth in a tenanted estateIt starts with getting the quality right • Good pubs do well, the licensee is profitable, pays his bills and develops his business ... and the pub gets better • Bad pubs do badly and probably get worse • Core operating profit growth across ETI estate at 3% (inflation plus a bit) will not squeeze good licensees out of existence!
Growth in a tenanted estateManage the pubs, the cash flow and the balance sheet Core growth in operating profit (target 3% growth) Invest and churn (target 10-15% return) Manage balance sheet leverage in line with profit growth and estate valuation Return spare cash to shareholders Double digit growth in EPS and TSR
Growth in a tenanted estate Cash and balance sheet managementFor example... £m £m Operating profit 500 Annual valuation increase 150 Profit before tax 250 New debt 100 Free cash 150
Growth in a tenanted estateRobust cash generative model, another theoretical example • 3% annual growth • No pub capex, no churn, no share buy back • Only repay debt and grow dividends in line with earnings 10 year annual compound EPS growth of 8% and all debt repaid within 14 years
Growth in a tenanted estateAcquisition opportunities Evaluate all major acquisition opportunities against stringent quality, return on capital and earnings enhancement criteria and only proceed if the long term results are enhanced. The future is about quality, not quantity
Summary • 9% growth in pub profitability • Unique integration completed • 52% growth in earnings per share • Strong cash generation • 56% increase in dividend • Clear strategy for growth in shareholder value
