these results.
3. These financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the
company, all its subsidiaries and all entities over which it has operational
and financial control.
4. Included in share capital are 24,0 (2009: 24,0) million shares which are

COMMENT
GROUP OVERVIEW
This financial year has been difficult and volatile with consumer spending
worsening during the second half of the year, particularly in the mass middle
market space. The significantly higher than projected unemployment figures
have also had a negative impact on this sector.
Although interest rates and inflation continued to fall, this did not
translate into increased consumer spending, which remained under pressure.
Retail turnover increased by 6,4% to R8,6 billion. Gross margins for the
year were down marginally by 0,2% on the previous year which was primarily
due to Christmas trading being at the lower level of management expectations.
Headline earnings per share decreased by 6,8% to 521,4 cents whilst diluted
headline earnings per share decreased by 6,3% to 518,2 cents.
In view of our strong balance sheet and future prospects, a final dividend of
170,0 cents per share has been declared. Accordingly dividends declared in
respect of the full year amount to 288,0 cents per share.
In line with our strategy of investing for the longer term, the group
continued to grow trading space in the second half by opening a further 41
stores. 100 stores were therefore opened for the full year, whilst 12 stores
were closed. At the year-end the group was trading out of 1 627 stores, with
an increase in trading area of 8,1% compared to the previous year.
MERCHANDISE CATEGORIES
Total sales have grown by 6,4% over the previous year with growths in the
various merchandise categories as follows:
- Clothing 8,3%
- Jewellery (1,2%)
- Cosmetics 12,8%
- Homewares and furniture 15,7%
- Cellphones (7,2%)
After a strong first half performance, clothing growth slowed in the second
half resulting in a total growth of 8,3% for the year. Whilst growth in
jewellery sales was negative, this performance in the current economic
climate is acceptable when compared to the market both locally and overseas.
The first half growth was -3,0% improving to flat in the second half.
Cosmetics continued to perform satisfactorily. Homewares and furniture
performed adequately in a competitive market. Cellphone sales improved
substantially in the second half as the supply issues experienced in the
first half improved.
TRADING DIVISIONS
Whilst turnover growth in the first half was 7,9%, consumer spending
continued to deteriorate in the second half with turnover growth of 5,0%,
resulting in growth of 6,4% for the year as a whole. Retail turnover and
growths in the various trading divisions were as follows:
Number of stores Retail turnover % Change
Rm
@home 78 587,8 15,7
exact! 205 759,8 2,2
Foschini 454 3 306,0 6,5
Jewellery division 365 1 095,3 (2,7)
Markham 234 1 359,6 3,7
Sports division 291 1 496,7 15,4
Total 1 627 8 605,2 6,4
Same store turnover was flat, whilst product inflation averaged
approximately 6% for the year.
Credit sales as a percentage of total sales increased to 62,6% from 61,8%.
Our @home division continued with its expansion, opening a further seven
stores, three of which were the larger @homelivingspace stores. Turnover
grew by 15,7% to R587,8 million. Same store turnover for the year reduced
by 6,3% driven by slower sales and further cannabilisation caused by the
rapid roll-out of the larger format stores. This cannabalisation is taken
into account in the viabilities of all these new stores.
exact! which offers contemporary and modern fashion for South African
families in the LSM 5-7 categories grew its store base during the year
from 198 to 205, growing its clothing turnover for the year by 3,9% while
its cellphone turnover reduced by 5,2%. Clothing same store turnover
growth was -2,7%, whilst total same store turnover growth was -4,2%. In
adding more authenticity and detail to their garments, product prices
crept upwards which adversely affected sales. Focus has been placed on
managing pricing architecture which has been particularly successful since
its implementation in the new financial year.
The Foschini division comprising Foschini, donna-claire, fashionexpress
and Luella had a mixed year with a much better growth in the first half of
the year than the second half. Clothing turnover grew by 6,9% with
clothing same store turnover of 2,1%. After a stronger first half, the
Foschini brand suffered from a lack of casual product in the summer
season. Whilst the smarter brands such as Oasis and WWW struggled, the
more casual labels such as News and Instinct fared much better. The
fashionexpress brand performed well whilst donna-claire had a
disappointing year. Cosmetics turnover growth increased by 12,8%.
Turnover of cellphones reduced by 7,9% whilst same store cellphone
turnover reduced by 11,5%. Total same store turnover grew by 1,9%. The
repositioning and turnaround strategy of Foschini stores is taking longer
than initially anticipated, but significant progress has been made, which
positions this brand well for future growth.
This division added 27 new stores and now trades out of 454 locations
across its various brands.
The Jewellery division comprising American Swiss, Sterns and Matrix had
acceptable performance in the current difficult climate. Jewellery
merchandise turnover reduced by 1,2% whilst jewellery same store turnover
reduced by 4,9%. Cellphone same store turnover reduced by 13,1% whilst
total same store turnover reduced by 6,1%. This division remains the
dominant player in the mass middle market jewellery sector with American
Swiss Jewellers being the largest jewellery chain in southern Africa,
followed by Sterns. This division increased its store base by 17 stores
to 365 stores.
The Markham division traded satisfactorily in the current climate with
clothing turnover growth of 4,9%, whilst cellphone turnover was -4,8%.
Total same store turnover was flat. Its store base increased by 12 stores
to 234 stores.
The Sports division, trading as Totalsports, sportscene and DueSouth
traded well in the current climate with turnover growth of 15,4% and same
store turnover growth of 6,1%, maintaining its position as a market
leader. Its store base increased by 27 stores to 291 stores. This is an
exciting period for this division with the World Cup 2010 only a few weeks
away. It has spared no effort to prepare itself for this historic event.
The three largest organisations active internationally in sportswear,
Nike, Adidas and Puma have officially recognised Totalsports as a
preferred partner for the World Cup.
FG Financial Services - manages the group`s in-store credit card programme
as well as handling the group`s financial service products such as Club
and associated magazines as well as insurance products. The consumer
environment remains tough with many consumers without jobs or working
fewer days. Anticipated defaults by customers grew as the incidence of
customers resorting to bad debt counsellors for relief increased. Net bad
debt as a percentage of debtors` book increased to 9,9%, but this is
already showing a downward trend. Our retail debtors` book, which amounts
to R3,2 billion, increased by 15,4% during the year and remains in good
shape.
RCS GROUP
The RCS Group is an operationally independent consumer finance business
that provides a broad range of financial services under its own brand in
South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. It is structured into two operating
business units namely transactional finance and fixed term finance. The
transactional finance business comprises the RCS general-purpose card and
other private label card programmes, whilst the fixed term finance
business comprises RCS Personal loans.
The RCS Group, which experienced a challenging year last year, performed
far better this year with net profit before tax increasing by 11,5% to
R225,9 million. The quality of new business written during the year has
continued to improve with net bad debt as a percentage of debtors book
reducing to 12,3% from 14,1% last year.
During March 2010 RCS Group went to the market with its DMTN (domestic
medium term note programme) and was successful in raising R303 million of
funding in a mixture of long (four years) and short term (12 months)
paper. Subsequent to the year-end an additional R250 million has been
placed on a seven-year term. This new funding will allow RCS Group to
return to its growth potential in the future and will in time, lessen its
reliance on funding from the Foschini Group.
Our group`s shareholding in the RCS Group is 55% with the balance being
held by The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited.
PROSPECTS
Retail turnover for the first eight weeks of the new financial year has
been encouraging, with an upward shift in consumer spending.
The 2010 World Cup which gets underway in a few weeks` time should create
more positive consumer sentiment, which together with the reduced interest
rate and inflationary environment should improve consumer spending.
However, the effect of the increase in the cost of electricity on the
disposable income of our consumers is unknown. In addition, unemployment
and associated factors in our economy remain as a potential risk, as do
the ongoing problems in international markets.
In line with our strategy of investing for long-term growth, we will
continue to open new stores in certain of our formats that are under-
represented and we anticipate opening in the region of 100 new stores in
the year ahead, which will increase trading space by approximately 7%.
PREFERENCE DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT
Dividend no. 147 of 3,25% (6,5 cents per share) in respect of the six
