Source: FactSet, Macquarie Research, September 2013 (all figures in AUD unless noted) 17 September 2013 Macquarie Securities (Australia) Limited A mixed bag Event PMV reported FY13 NPAT of $174.5m. Results included a one-off accounting reclassification gain. FY13 adj. NPAT of $69.3m was up 1.5% on pcp (Macq E $73.4m). Final dividend was 19cps (Macq E 18cps). Impact The key difference between the result and our forecast was a softer 2H performance from Just Group. Just Group EBIT increased 4% to $83.7m (Macq E $89m). 2H sales declined ~1%, LFL sales appear to have declined ~3% in H2 resulting in 2H EBIT of $27.4m down ~5% on pcp. The large casualwear brands Jay Jays and Just Jeans appear to be the key driver of the profit declines. The performance of these brands remains concerning and new management have again been appointed. New store openings have driven strong sales growth in Peter Alexander and Smiggle. The turnarounds in the womenswear brands appear to be gaining traction with profitability in Portmans, Dotti and Jacqui E reported to have improved. New initiatives outlined with the result were expansion of Smiggle into the UK, acceleration of Peter Alexander growth domestically and $30m of capex and start up investment in a new DC. We are more positive on the chances of success of the Smiggle UK launch scheduled for 2H14 than we were on the Japanese growth strategy it has replaced. New management are targeting 40-50% growth from Peter Alexander in the next three years through more aggressive store rollout and range extension. No outlook commentary or recent trading update were provided. Our FY14 EBITA forecast for Just Group of $88m is up 5% on pcp. We expect continued growth from Peter Alexander and Smiggle and the performances of Jay Jays and Just jeans to again be the key swing factor in the contribution from the mature apparel brands. Earnings and target price revision FY14 and FY15 EPS have reduced by 4%. Underlying earnings downgrades for Just Group are ~7% given we have now equity accounted the BRG investment. TP increased to $8.50 from $7.70. Price catalyst 12-month price target: A$8.50 based on a Sum of Parts methodology. Catalyst: FY14 results Action and recommendation We are attracted to the Smiggle and Peter Alexander growth opportunities. While Just Group should be leveraged to an improvement in the retail environment we remain cautious of the brand relevance and thus sales outlook for the mature apparel brands.

Results included a one-off reclassification gain related to the change of accounting for BRG. FY13 NPAT pre the classification change was $69.3m, up 1.5% but below our $73.4m forecast. (Consensus $73.6m). Results included the $3.4m investment gain booked in H1. The key difference between the result and our forecast was a softer 2H performance from Just Group. Just Group EBIT increased 4% to $83.7m (Macq E $89m). 2H sales declined ~1%, LFL sales appear to have declined ~3% in H2 resulting in 2H EBIT of $27.4m down ~5% on pcp. The large casualwear brands Jay Jays and Just Jeans appear to be the key driver of the profit declines. Peter Alexander and Smiggle sales have grown strongly with new store openings while the profit contribution of Portmans, Dotti and Jacqui E are reported to have improved. New initiatives outlined with the result are expansion of Smiggle into UK, acceleration of Peter Alexander growth domestically and increased investment in supply chain initiatives. As a result of major supply chain review PMV has established a new Singaporean DC in partnership with a global logistics partner, reduced the capacity of its NZ DC in July and began development of a new Australian DC in Truganina outside of Melbourne. PMV expect to invest $19m in the purchase and development of the new DC which will be debt funded. A further $8m will be spent on fit out and $3-4m of one off transition costs will be incurred in FY14 as the groups existing NSW and Victorian facilities are closed. Operational costs savings of more than $2m per year are expected to be realised within 3 years. We would hope the savings are significantly greater than $2m to generate adequate returns on the upfront investment. While we recognise the importance of controlling the groups DC infrastructure we do question the need to acquire the land and buildings.

Operating cashflow of $89.1m was up on $78.7m pcp. Cash generation benefitted from a reduction in tax paid to $8.5m ($19.0m pcp). Operating cashflow was impacted by a $13m increase in inventories ($84m). The increase was attributed to an earlier and larger August promotional activity. We can t help but think part of the increase relates to the softer 2H winter sales. The balance sheet finished with net cash of $211.2m, up from $171.2m in pcp. Cash on hand of $313.2m, was up $19m. Premier retail debt declined $21m to $102m. The balance sheet remains in a very strong position and one of the key attractions to the group.

LFL sales finished down 1.8% after being down 0.9% in the first 6 months. Gross margin improvement was again the key driver of margin improvement in the result. The 2H margin improvement was impressive given the weak sales environment. Whilst there will be no repeat of the currency tailwinds (downside also protected as FY14 fully hedged) FY14 results are expected to benefit from planning and markdown reduction projects in core brands, DFO profitability improvements and ongoing sourcing initiatives. Growth in the higher margin womenswear, Peter Alexander and Smiggle brands will also assist. CODB was largely flat on pcp but increased 80bp in 2H13 on pcp given the negative sales leverage. It could have been far worse. After increasing in 1H13, advertising and marketing expenditure appears to have again been reigned in through 2H13 declining on pcp. Other expenditure in 2H13 was also well below 1H and pcp. Rental expense was flat half on half and on pcp. Established brands rents are reported to have decreased by 2.4% Results will be benefitting from the provision taken through FY11. Salaries were the big mover up 8% on pcp through 2H13. Total store wages increased 4% throughout the year with established brands store salaries declining by 0.5% 17 September 2013 3

Brand by brand Jay Jays is clearly the problem child in the group. Sales declined 11% to $167m, 2H sales were down ~14%. In two years sales from this brand have declined by nearly $50m. While store numbers have declined ~10% over that period, presumably the most unprofitable stores, sales per average store in the remaining network are down 17%. This brand remains management's main focus. A new product team is now in place and while continuing to report to Collete Garnsey a search is underway for a new brand leader. Just Jeans sales fell 3.3% to $196m, 2H sales declined 4%. Two stores were closed taking the total number of stores to 244. A new GM Matthew McCormack (formerly fashion director at John Lewis) was appointed in August. Results from Jay Jays and Just Jeans continue to be disappointing. Combined they make up over 40% of group sales and close to 50% of total store numbers. They remain the key swing factor in future results. The smaller women s apparel brands appear to be on the improve. Dotti grew sales 7.3% to $108.3m although 2H sales were flat. Online sales are reported to have more than doubled. 5 stores were closed taking the format to 109 stores. Portmans sales increased 2.5% to $107.9m. 2H sales were flat. Strong margin growth was reported from improved sourcing. 3 stores were closed taking store numbers to 102. Jacqui E sales declined 2.3%. 2H sales were flat although LFL sales were reported to be positive. 3 stores were closed taking store numbers to 101. A material profit improvement was reported from this brand. New stores drove strong sales growth in the group s growth brands. Peter Alexander sales increased 17.7% to $100.7m, with 11 new stores opened throughout the year. Total store numbers have increased by 20% in FY12 and 23% in FY13. With further growth reported in online it does suggest sales per average store are down well over 10%. We would expect this cannibalisation as overall brand profitability increase but it is relevant given the growth plans outlined. The new leader ship team at Peter Alexander (Judie Coomber formerly GM of Merchandise at Myer) has outlined plans to grow this business by 40-50% in the next three years (circa $40-$50m of incremental revenue). The growth initiatives include: Six to eight stores are planned to open each year for the next three years; new flagship CBD stores; rollout of a dedicated childrenswear range; continued online and mobile growth; launch of an exclusive Myer relationship including 10 womenswear concessions and wholesale men s and childrenswear in 15 stores. Smiggle s sales increased 14.5% to $89.6m, 2H sales were up 18%. Store numbers increased 14% to 151. If we exclude the Singapore contribution sales per average store in Australia and NZ look to be down ~8% which we expect reflects cannibalisation and lower contributing new stores as the group focuses on growing the overall Aus/NZ profit contribution. Sixteen stores are now trading in Singapore with Singapore sales increasing over 100% to $13.8m. The group will use the Singapore operations to launch into Malaysia. A 6-8 new tore opportunity has been identified with first store likely to open in 2H14. The UK has been identified as the next big international growth opportunity for Smiggle. The potential for a 200 store rollout has been identified with sales and profitability ultimately to exceed Australia if successful. 17 September 2013 4

The first store will open in Westfield Stratford in February 2014. 5-8 stores expected to open through 2H14 with 20-40 stores per year planned from FY15. Stores are expected to be profitable in year one with the UK profitable from year 2. While any international rollout strategy is not without its challenges, the UK would appear a far easier and arguably more appealing market to take on than the Japanese growth strategy it appears to have replaced. Earnings revisions FY14 and FY15 EPS have reduced by 4%. Underlying earnings downgrades for Just Group are ~7% given we have now equity accounted the BRG investment. FY13 pro forma NPAT is $75m. This included $3.4m of trading gains which we expect will not repeat. Our FY14 EBITA forecast for Just Group of $88m is up 5% on pcp. We expect this growth will be 2H weighted.
