Price Performance

Growth Potential
- WOW has materially underperformed its competitor in LFL food sales over the past 12+ months and may need to increase the level of price investment to arrest the underperformance.
- Our blended valuation $28.28 is made up of our DCF ($30.65) and PE-multiple ($25.90) valuations, with the latter ascribing an appropriate discount to peer COL.
- High quality assets, business model and management team.
- Leading market positions with key sites in higher population growth areas.
- Increasing digitisation to remove more costs and increase the efficiency of the supply chain.
- Margins could improve on the back of operating efficiency gains and higher penetration of privates.
Key Risks
- Low economic growth drives lower consumer confidence and spending.
- Pricing competition with key competitors such as Coles (COL) which leads to more investment in shelf prices.
- Margin pressure in the Food & Big W driven by lower price put throughs and inflationary pressures on cost of doing business (CODB).
- Changing consumer preference and consumption trends
- Deterioration in balance sheet metrics due to earnings decline.
- Adverse movements in AUD/USD (international sourcing).
