PRESIDENT DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Introduction
Sales for the period were marginally ahead of the comparable
period last year, with Non-Food businesses continuing to perform
well, partly offset by softness in the Food business.
Financial Performance
Total sales in the first quarter increased slightly by 0.5% to
Rp 3,060 billion. The Company recorded a net loss of Rp 4 billion,
broadly flat against the comparable period in 2018.
Food sales were 5% lower at Rp 2,345 billion, impacted by the
launch of a store consolidation plan designed to improve space
productivity and underlying profitability over time. The Food
business recorded an operating loss of Rp 64 billion, before
unallocated corporate expenses, compared with Rp 87 billion in the
comparable period last year.
Sales in the Non-Food businesses increased substantially, up 21%
to Rp 715 billion with both Guardian and IKEA showing strong
growth. Guardian ran a series of successful beauty category
promotions, but IKEA's profitability was lower primarily due to the
increased cost of goods compared with last year and the pre-opening
expenses incurred for new stores under development. Operating
profit was Rp 79 billion, before unallocated corporate expenses,
compared with Rp 87 billion last year.
Business Activities
PT Hero remains committed to its multi-year transformation plan,
with particular focus placed on the Supermarkets and Hypermarkets
business, as well as further investment in the expansion and format
development of the Health and Beauty business in Indonesia.
IKEA will focus on its strategy of improving accessibility and
convenience by growing its online business and expanding its store
network. In addition to the ongoing projects at Jakarta Garden City
and Kota Baru Parahyangan in Bandung, both of which are planned to
open at the end of 2020, plans are underway to convert one Giant
hypermarket to an IKEA store.
Prospects
PT Hero remains firmly focused on its multi-year strategic
transformation and is confident that the actions currently underway
will lead to longer-term sustainable improvements.
