Price Performance
Growth Potential
- Trading is largely in line with our valuation.
- Mandatory product safety standards for baby goods in Australia limit supply sources and provide barriers to entry to international competitors.
- BBN has the largest presence in Australia amongst specialty baby goods retailers.
- BBN has a solid and growing online presence including the launch of the marketplace.
- Strong market shares in a highly fragmented market.
- NZ’s $450m addressable market represents another opportunity.
- Management is looking at ways to expand BBN’s addressable market from the A$2.5bn today to the broader A$5.1bn baby goods market. This will likely include category expansion and other growth opportunities.
- Reinstating a dividend policy will be a major positive – at this time management is electing to reinvest back into the business to drive top line growth.
Key Risks
- Retail environment and general economic conditions in addressable markets may deteriorate.
- Competition may intensify especially from online retailers such as Amazon, specialty retailers, department stores, and discounted department stores
