3 Introduction Asda Income Tracker "The latest tracker paints a pretty bleak picture. Our customers are no better off than a year ago, and are significantly worse off compared to two years ago. "The recent cold snap will be piling even more pressure on family incomes with energy prices continuing to rise. "On the up side, we are seeing the lowest unemployment levels since March 2011, falling to 7.7%, which is good news for UK Plc." Andy Clarke Asda President and CEO 2 Centre for Economics and Business Research 2012
4 Headlines Asda Income Tracker Headlines The average UK household had 144 a week of discretionary income in December 2012, unchanged from the same month a year before but remaining some 10 lower than December Inflation on the cost of essential spending items rose to 3.0 per cent in December, up from a previous reading of 2.8 per cent in November. Energy utility price increases are feeding through into the inflation rate and putting pressure on household incomes. Although there was good news as the UK labour market continued to add more jobs, with the unemployment rate dropping to 7.7 per cent, the weak economy continues to hold back earnings growth. As a result, net household income growth slowed to 2.6 per cent year on year in December, the slowest result since June Although it remains encouraging that households are no longer seeing sharp declines in discretionary income, December s Income Tracker figures show that risks remain for UK consumers. Pressures on discretionary incomes at the end of 2012 came from high energy price hikes, mortgage and rental costs and food price inflation, factors that are likely to continue into coming year. In addition, income growth remains weak, as the UK economy struggles to grow enough to drive significant pay increases. Asda family spending power was unchanged year-on-year (a 0.0% annual change) Rob Harbron Economist, Cebr 3 Centre for Economics and Business Research 2012
5 Constructing the Asda Income Tracker Model Total household income 712 per week - e.g.. national insurance contributions, income tax Taxes = Net income 588 per week e.g.. wages, investment income, pensions, social security, self employment earnings 124 per week i.e. take home pay Net income 588 per week - e.g.. food, clothing, housing costs, bills, transport, communication costs, health, children s schooling, house maintenance and repair Cost of living = Average family spending power 144 per week i.e. take home pay 444 per week eg. holidays, cinema, theatre, eating out, toys, sports, savings, jewellery, national lottery and other gambling payments, computer software and games 4 Centre for Economics and Business Research 2012

7 No growth on Income Tracker as wage growth slows to trickle Trends The Asda Income Tracker was unchanged in December compared to a year before Discretionary incomes excluding bonuses are unchanged compared to a year before, but stand some 10 down on December This latest halt in growth in the Income Tracker follows six months of increases, with the largest being a 4 annual rise in September Year-on-year change in Asda income tracker, Once bonus payments are included, family incomes rose over the last year by 1, an increase of 0.7 per cent compared with December last year. 0-5 Household incomes are struggling to keep pace with the rising cost of living. Net income rose over the year by 2.6 per cent in December, the slowest rate since June Dec-08 Jun-09 Dec-09 Jun-10 Dec-10 Jun-11 Dec-11 Jun-12 Dec-12 6 Centre for Economics and Business Research 2012
8 No growth on Income Tracker as wage growth slows to trickle Trends The Asda Income Tracker was unchanged in December compared to a year before Annual growth on the Income Tracker was brought to a complete halt in December by weak UK economic conditions holding back earnings growth. This slowdown in earnings growth is compounded by stubbornly high inflation on essential items. The cost of living rose to 3.0 per cent in December compared to a year earlier, up from 2.8 per cent the previous month. Although discretionary incomes have escaped the sharp declines seen through 2011 and early 2012, robust growth on the Income Tracker remains elusive. Year-on-year change in Asda income tracker, Weak economic conditions are expected to prevail into the first half of 2013, holding back wage growth, while the 1 per cent cap on benefit payment increases will hold back household income growth from April onward Dec-08 Jun-09 Dec-09 Jun-10 Dec-10 Jun-11 Dec-11 Jun-12 Dec-12 7 Centre for Economics and Business Research 2012
9 Cost of living continues to rise faster than Bank of England s target Cost of living Annual CPI inflation stood at 2.7 per cent in December, unchanged since September The headline inflation rate stood on hold for the second month. However, inflation on the cost of essential items rose in December to 3.1 per cent, up from a November reading of 2.8 per cent. The headline inflation rate has now stood above the Bank of England s target rate of 2.0 per cent for over three full years, since November The overall cost of living is now 5.5 per cent higher than if inflation had stuck at target rate for this time period. Inflation on the broader retail price index (RPI) was also broadly unchanged in December at 3.1 per cent, compared to 3.0 per cent in November. Although inflation fell back sharply through 2012 the rate is not expected to fall much further in Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee members have noted that rail fares, utility prices and tuition fee increases are expected to contribute 1 percentage point to inflation through much of % 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0% -1% Inflation of selected goods, annual change to December 2012 Vehicle fuels Recreation & culture Clothing & footwear Furniture & household goods Transport Communication Health Restaurants & hotels Food & non-alc. drink Housing & household services Electricity Mortgage interest payments Gas Alcohol & tobacco 8 Centre for Economics and Business Research 2012
10 Electricity & gas costs putting pressure on household budgets Cost of living The main factors putting pressure on family discretionary income in December were: Housing costs were the greatest driver of inflation in December, contributing about a fifth of the headline inflation rate. Cost increases at 5 of the 6 major energy suppliers have now fed through into the inflation rate, with both electricity and gas more expensive now than a year ago. The final supplier is raising their tariffs in January. The cost of food was also a key contributor to the rising cost of living, with food prices rising by some 3.7% year on year in December as the effects of bad harvests continued to take hold. Petrol and diesel prices gave household budgets some respite however, as vehicle fuels were marginally lower in December than they were a year before. 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0% -1% Inflation of selected goods, annual change to December 2012 Vehicle fuels Recreation & culture Clothing & footwear Furniture & household goods Transport Communication Health Restaurants & hotels Food & non-alc. drink Housing & household services Electricity Mortgage interest payments Gas Alcohol & tobacco 9 Centre for Economics and Business Research 2012
11 Cost of falling unemployment is very slow wage growth Labour Market Private sector wages rose by just 1.5 per cent annually in the 3 months to November Unemployment continued to fall in the three months to November to 7.7%, its lowest reading since March The UK economy continued to add jobs and encouragingly, it was full-time roles that saw the latest increase. The number of part-time employees fell back as more people returned to longer hours, while the share of workers that only took part-time jobs because they couldn t find full-time ones fell back to its lowest in a year. 10% 9% 8% 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% UK unemployment rate (LHS), per cent and 3-month annual growth in regular pay (RHS), per cent 5.0% 4.5% 4.0% 3.5% 3.0% 2.5% 2.0% 1.5% However, despite this positive news from the UK labour market, the weak economy is still having an effect average regular earnings growth in the private sector slowed to its since July 2010 at 1.5 per cent.

12 Discretionary incomes continue to be hit in some areas of the country Regional Trends Income Trackers fell back into decline in Q in some parts of the UK Households in Northern Ireland experienced a 7.1 per cent annual decline in their discretionary incomes in Q4 2012, down from a 1.1 per cent decrease in Q3. Labour market conditions in Northern Ireland have become tougher in recent months, with the unemployment rate rising year on year by a significant 1.1 percentage points. Regional income trackers, annual change to quarter indicated 10.0% 7.5% 5.0% 2.5% 0.0% -2.5% The East Midlands and the South East also saw marginal annual declines in discretionary income in Q4 2012, of 1.6 and 1.3 per cent respectively. However, at the other end of the spectrum, the North East saw a strong increase in the Income Tracker, rising year on year by some 6.2 per cent. This boost comes alongside a strengthening of the local labour market, as the unemployment rate dropped year on year by 2.9 points. -5.0% -7.5% Northern Ireland East Midlands South East East West Midlands UK Wales South West Scotland North West Q Q London Yorkshire & Humber North East 11 Centre for Economics and Business Research 2012
13 London discretionary incomes rise further above UK average Regional Trends While Northern Ireland continues to slip further behind Households in Northern Ireland had discretionary incomes of 77 a week in Q4, compared to a UK average of 146 for the quarter. With the latest annual slip in discretionary incomes, the Income Tracker for households in Northern Ireland has fallen to 53 per cent of the UK average, down from 55 per cent in Q Regional income trackers, per week Meanwhile, households in Scotland and Wales remain just either side of the UK average, with discretionary income of 144 and 154 respectively. Discretionary incomes in London rose further ahead of the average UK household, at 274 a week in Q This is 2.55 times higher than the average household, up from 2.37 times more in Q Northern Ireland Yorkshire & Humber North East South West West Midlands East Midlands North West Scotland UK Wales East South East London Q Q Centre for Economics and Business Research 2012
14 A strengthening labour market helps boost income growth in the North East Regional Trends The North East continued to see the fastest annual growth in gross income in Q % Regional gross income, annual change to quarter While unemployment has fallen back noticeably in many areas of the UK, the effects of a stronger labour market are being felt the most in the North East. 4.0% 3.5% 3.0% Gross incomes rose at an annual rate of 4.0 per cent in Q in the North East. This is notably higher than 3.2 per cent growth seen in London, the region with the next fastest-growing income. Year on year income growth in both Scotland and Wales in Q was 2.8 per cent. This was in line with growth in the cost of essentials for Scotland, but Wales saw essential item inflation of 3.0 per cent, putting pressure on household finances. Meanwhile, the weak labour market of Northern Ireland put the brakes on income growth for the typical household. Annual growth slowed to 1.7 per cent in Q4, down from 2.2 per cent the previous quarter. 2.5% 2.0% 1.5% 1.0% 0.5% 0.0% Northern Ireland South East East Midlands East West Midlands UK Scotland Wales North West South West Q Q Yorkshire & Humber London North East 13 Centre for Economics and Business Research 2012

21 Methodology The Asda income tracker is calculated from the following equations: Methodology Total household income minus taxes equals net income Net income minus basic spend equals Asda income tracker Total household income for the United Kingdom is derived from the Living Costs and Food Survey 2010 (released 2011). This is updated on a monthly basis using official statistics on average earnings, unemployment, social security payments, interest rates and pension income. Earnings data from the Office for National Statistics that is released in the month of the report refers to the previous month. We forecast earnings data for the month of the report. Taxes are subtracted from total household income to estimate the actual amount that can be spent on goods and services, i.e. net income or disposable income. The average amount of tax paid is calculated using the latest version of the Living Costs and Food Survey. This is updated on a monthly basis using Office for National Statistics data and Cebr modelling. 20 Centre for Economics and Business Research 2012
22 Methodology Methodology These components are based on official statistics and Cebr calculations. Net income is calculated by deducting our tax estimate from our total household income estimate. Basic spend (cost of living) figures are updated using monthly consumer price data and the trend growth rate in the volume of essential goods and services purchased over the most recent ten year period. A full list of items constituting basic (or essential ) spending was created in collaboration between Asda and Cebr when the income tracker concept was originally formed in This list is available on request. The Asda income tracker is a measure of discretionary income, reflecting the amount remaining after the average UK household has had taxes subtracted from their income and bought essential items such as: groceries, electricity, gas, transport costs and mortgage interest payments or rent. The income tracker measures the amount left over to spend on discretionary purchases such as leisure and recreation goods and services. 21 Centre for Economics and Business Research 2012
