 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Bhd (7-EH) is the leading
convenience store operator in Malaysia with 82% share of the
standalone convenience store segment (nearly 1,600 stores).
 The IPO of up to 530.3m shares represent 43% of 7-EH’s
enlarged share capital, comprising 490.8m shares under the

 Store expansion and refurbishment. 7-EH is accelerating
new store openings, targeting 600 new stores over 3 years,
bringing the total network to over 2,000 stores by 2016, with
30-35% concentrated in the Klang Valley. 7-EH is also
accelerating store refurbishment plans on 600 existing outlets
(60% major upgrades, 40% minor), with the aim of targeting a
younger customer mix.

 Based on the indicative IPO price of RM1.38 per share, 7EH’s estimated prospective PER of 20.8x to Dec 2015 is in
line with the regional peer average PER of 20.3x. We
therefore view 7-EH’s IPO price of RM1.38 per share as fair.

Background
7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings (7-EH) was incorporated as a private limited liability
company in Malaysia on 16 Aug 2013, and was converted to a public limited liability
company on 3 Sep 2013. On 3 Oct 2013, the company changed its name from Seven
Convenience Berhad to 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Berhad.
Largest convenience
store operator in Malaysia
7-EH is principally involved in operating and franchising of convenience stores under
the “7-Eleven” brand name and investment holding of shares in its wholly-owned
subsidiaries.
7-EH is the largest convenience store operator in Malaysia in terms of number of
stores, with a market share of 82% of the standalone convenience store segment as at
Mar 2014. As at 10 Apr 2014, the group had 1,583 stores throughout Malaysia serving
an estimated 900,000 people per day.
The stores are commonly located in high pedestrian and vehicle traffic areas and are
open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with the exception of 19 stores which are
located in shopping malls and light rail transit stations.
1,583 stores throughout
Malaysia as at Apr 2014

7-EH opened 150 net new stores in 2013 and plans to accelerate its store opening
programme, targeting a total of 600 new store openings from 2014-2016.
The group is the sole operator of 7-Eleven convenience stores within Malaysia and
Brunei under an Area Licensing Agreement (ALA) dated 1 Dec 2003 with 7-Elven
USA. Under the ALA, 7-Eleven USA grants 7-EH the right to establish, operate, and
grant sub-franchises for 7-Eleven convenience stores in Malaysia and Brunei up to 30
Nov 2033, with options to extend for an additional 10 years each.

7-EH opened its first store in Kuala Lumpur in 1984. In 2001, Tan Sri Dato’ Vincent
Tan acquired 7-Eleven Malaysia via Berjaya Group.
First store opened in 1984
In 2004, the group opened its Combined Distribution Centre (CDC) to house its
integrated supply chain and IT systems. The CDC handles 53% of total inventory by
volume and delivers to stores in Peninsula Malaysia three times per week. It is located
in Shah Alam with 90,000 sq ft of usable space. The group plans to construct a new
and larger CDC to be opened by end-2015 with a higher capacity to support the
continued expansion in store network.
In 2008, the group celebrated its 25th anniversary with the opening of its 1000th store.

Store expansion and refurbishment
7-EH is accelerating new store openings, targeting 600 new stores over 3 years,
bringing the total network to 2,157 stores by 2016. Of total new store openings, 3035% will be concentrated in the high-traffic Klang Valley area. The total cost of 200
new store openings in 2014 is expected to reach RM46m, to be funded by IPO
proceeds.

Aside from new store openings, the group is also accelerating its store refurbishment
plan on 600 existing stores, 60% of which will be major upgrades and the remaining
40% minor improvements. The accelerated refurbishment exercise is expected to cost
a total of RM24m in 2014 and is being put in place with the aim of targeting a younger
customer mix, given that 55% of the population was aged 29 years or younger in
2013.

Introduction of new products & services
In addition to existing in-store services such as, mobile phone and online gaming
reloads, management plans to expand its Touch ‘n Go reload services, and add on
utility bill payment and e-commerce facilities for online purchases at stores.
Management is also looking at improving product mix at stores and increasing
bundling promotions to boost sales.
New products and
services…
Improving product mix
In an effort to improve product mix, management plans to implement clustering of
stores to be near places such as hospitals, offices, colleges and petrol kiosks. In doing
so, the group would be able to cater product ranges to suit each target market. For
example, stores near schools and colleges would carry more snacks and
confectionery whilst stores near tourist attractions would carry more alcohol, tobacco
and mobile reload services.
… and an improved
product mix to boost
margins
7-EH is also targeting to raise contributions from higher-margin commissions
generated from in-store services & non-tobacco products.

Investing in IT and supply chain improvements
7-EH plans to spend RM60m in 2014 on improving its IT and supply chain systems.
The aim is to improve inventory management, targeting to cut lead time by 40% from 5
days currently to 1-2 days.

Low penetration levels
According to Vital Factor Research, Malaysia has 131 convenience stores per
millionth population compared to Thailand’s 192, Japan’s 340, Taiwan’s 429 and
Korea’s 490 in 2012.
Malaysia’s convenience store annual sales per capita was also relatively low in 2012,
at RM116 compared to Korea’s RM629, Taiwan’s RM1,242 and Japan’s RM1,691.

Growing per capita income and urbanization rates
Aside from relatively low convenience store penetration rates and spending per capita
on convenience store purchases, Malaysia’s rising per capita income and increasing
urbanization rates are also expected to underpin future growth in the sector.

RISKS
Difficulties in executing expansion and refurbishment plans
Challenges the group may face in executing its aggressive store expansion plan of
opening 600 new stores over 2014-2016 include being able to secure ideal store
locations and commercially-viable rental rates, and being able to employ suitable
workforce to man these new outlets.
The group’s extensive store refurbishment plan on 600 existing stores may have an
impact on sales as customers may not be comfortable visiting these stores even as
they stay open for business during the refurbishment process.
Deterioration in relationship with 7-Eleven USA
A deterioration in relationship with 7-Eleven USA could have an adverse impact on 7EH’s operations as 7-Eleven USA has the right to terminate the Area License
Agreement (ALA), which is valid until 30 Nov 2033, in the event of a breach by 7Eleven or its controlling principals who are direct and indirect shareholders.
Relationship with 7Eleven USA crucial for
success and longevity of
business operations
Although the ALA has an option to be renewed for an additional 10 years, there is no
assurance that the ALA will not be revoked or terminated prior to its expiry.
Disruption in supply chain for products and services
The group currently relies on a single Combined Distribution Centre (CDC) in Shah
Slam to supply 53% of its product volume to all stores in Peninsula Malaysia. Any
disruption in the supply chain or any natural disasters at the CDC would therefore
affect operations at the group’s stores.
Expanding CDC to
minimize supply chain
disruptions
The group is planning to construct a new CDC to distribute up to 75% of its products
by volume in Peninsula Malaysia, at a cost of RM15m to be funded by IPO proceeds.
Malfunction of IT systems
7-EH’s higher margin commissions business comes from the provision of services
such as mobile phone reloads, online gaming reloads, and Touch ‘n Go reloads. A
malfunction of IT systems at the stores would render the service terminals unusable
and hence impact negatively on the group’s overall earnings performance in our view.
Low margins and keen competition
As a convenience store operator, 7-EH typically experience low margins given the low
mark-up on products. From 2010-2013, the average PBT and PAT margins for the
group ranged between 2.8-4.4% and 2.1-3.1%, respectively.
Keen competition in high
traffic areas
Aside from low margins, 7-EH also faces keen competition from several other
convenience store operators such as KK Super Mart, Orange Mart, QE, Happy Mart
and MyMart. Although these operators are far smaller in size in terms of their store
network, they are competing head-on with 7-EH at the key high-traffic areas.

Theft and pilferage of goods and cash at stores
Convenience store premises are typically open to the public and operate extended
hours where sales are largely cash-based. As a result, convenience stores are
exposed to risk of theft, shoplifting and robbery.
Ability to obtain regulatory licenses, permits and approvals
The stores require a number of licences to operate and sell their products, including
licences to sell certain controlled goods, trading licences and advertising and signage
licences. The group’s operational performance would be affected in the event stores
are unable to obtain all the requisite licences or fail to renew existing licences as they
lapse.
Weak consumer sentiment and spending
The level of consumer confidence in the economy will have an impact on consumer
spending and in turn, the stores’ operational performance.

Earnings and forecasts
Earnings track record
The group’s revenue from 2010-2013 was largely derived from food and beverage

Source: IPO Prospectus, HLIB estimates
At the EPS level, excluding the one-off IPO expense of RM22.8m in FY2014F, we are
projecting a CAGR of 24.6% from FY2013-2016F, supported by the following:
1. A larger network of stores;
2. Bigger contribution from high-margin commissions as the group targets to
provide a wider range of in-store services such as mobile and online gaming
reloads, Touch n’ Go reloads, and potentially facilities to enable utility bills and
online purchase payments. Commissions from these in-store services
generate almost 100% margins;
3. Increasing operational efficiency leading to lower operating expenses going
forward, on the back of improving inventory management, new and improved
IT systems, and better store layouts;
4. The factors above are expected to more than offset the absence of interest
income derived from advances to holding companies, which was classified
under other operating income. Interest income derived from advances to
holding companies averaged between RM12-15m per annum from 2010-2013,
and were generated from RM180m worth of advances extended to holding
company, Berjaya Retail (BRetail). According to the IPO prospectus, all
amounts owing by BRetail have been fully settled in cash and via the issuance
of promissory notes.
