Presenter
Presentation Notes
Brian, Our company culture is based on our proud history of being a "Family of merchants". So we want to reap the benefits of scale (where relevant); and we want to ensure all our customers have the same, positive perception of our brand. Does that mean we now start doing everything the same way? NO! But we do want to select specific elements of our ways of working, products, and stations, which we will start doing consistently across our network - while ensuring we continue to adapt to our local needs and customer profiles.

STRATEGIC VISION & PRIORITIES: WORKING AT TWO-CLOCK SPEED

To remain a growth company for the shareholders we must find the recipe for the future

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

To enhance company value, we need to focus on our core business priorities:• Key Categories of Food and Fuel• Growing Customer base• Lean and Efficient Operations• Engaged and Productive Employees

FOCUSING ON THE COREStrategic initiatives:• Executing our Brand Vision• Digital• Growing the Global Network• Food Journey• Mobility

LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE

FOCUSING ON THE CORE BUSINESSTo enhance company value, we are focusing on: • Key Categories of Food and Fuel• Growing Customer base• Lean and Efficient Operations• Engaged and Productive Employees

TIME & CONVENIENCE

TIME & CONVENIENCE

Shoppers recognize the c-store channel of trade for its convenient locations, extended hours of operations, one-stop shopping, grab-and-go foodservice, variety of merchandise and fast transactions

Industry offers speed of service to time-starved consumers who want to get in and out of the store quickly

Addresses consumer desires to satisfy and immediate need for food, refreshment and fuel

83% of the in-store merchandise that convenience stores sell is consumed within one hour of purchase, and 65% is immediately consumed

24

US C-STORE INDUSTRY FACTS

Convenience stores have an unmatched speed of transaction: The average time it takes a customer to walk in, purchase an item and depart is between 3 to 4 minutes

Convenience stores are everywhere. There are 155 thousand convenience stores in the United States—or one store for about every 2,100 people— and c-stores account for more than one-third (34.1%) of all outlets in the United States.

The convenience store industry is a destination for food and refreshments

An average convenience store selling fuel has around 1,100 customers per day, or more than 400,000 per year. Cumulatively, the U.S. convenience store industry alone serves nearly 160 million customers per day, and 58 billion customers every year.

The convenience store industry is America's primary source for fuel - Self-serve at the pump is a part of most convenience stores' fueling operations

Presentation Notes
Employee attitude and appearance is a huge project with many tasks in front of us. If we are trying to each the elephant, this is the body of the elephant! But we are sure about one thing. We want to have increased focus on our PEOPLE and support them in the best way we can, so they can provide our customer with the service they expect from us. Our people meet our customers 6 million times every day and are the foundation on who we are! We have areas where we do a nice job and areas where we absolutely need to do better. We have identified some of the consistency elements, which we believe are important to succeed… As you see, there are more elements than our organization can handle at this point in time. This project is also not a license to do anything we want in the name of People…its about focusing our resources to make smart investments in people, giving them the best tools and training to be successful in their jobs This project will not be done in months, but years…but we must take the fist steps now!

TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES - USEFUL FACTS

Average lifecycle of vehicles is 16-19 years

Global vehicle fleet is more than 1.2 billion vehicles and

is expected to reach 2 billion in 2035

2016 Worldwide electric vehicle sales % total:

1.10%

Worldwide electric vehicle fleet is approximately

2 million vehicles or 0.2% of total fleet

US electric vehicles penetration is less than 1%

Currently, total cost of ownership for electric

vehicles is significantly higher than ICE vehicles

Limited line-up of electric vehicles

#1 selling vehicle in the US: Ford F-150

Charging infrastructure and technology not mature

Electric vehicle range remains limited

Number of vehicles is increasing

Number of miles driven per vehicle is increasing

In the US, the electric grid is highly carbonized

US fuel retail industry is highly fragmented. More than 60% of the 154k c-stores are operated by

single store or small chain operators (<11 stores)

Countries with high EV penetration heavily

subsidize EVs

Countries that sopped or significantly reduced

subsidies have seen EV sales plunge

Industry’sreaction

ACT’scompetitiveadvantages

Continuedfocus on business

Continuousmonitoring

38

A GRADUAL AND MANAGEABLE CHANGE PROCESS

39

In order for substantial electric vehicle penetration:

• Cost of electric vehicles will need to move closer to traditional internal combustion engine cars whether through reduction in manufacturing/battery costs or significant subsidies from the government authorities (which we do not believe are sustainable in most countries)

• Charging infrastructure needs to expand, adapt and move to a more standard, predictable offer in order to convince the consumers of the practicality of the product and its resistance to obsolescence

• Selection of electric vehicles needs to substantiate in order to meet needs and expectation of consumers

• Range of EVs will need to increase in order to adapt to North American driving habits

In order to deliver significant GHG emission reductions, transport electrification needs to go hand-in-hand with the decarbonisation of electricity generation

Electric grid needs to be adapted in terms of capacity and battery production capabilities need to significantly ramp-up

12.7.2018

Global mobility trends will change how we think about cars and demand for fuel is going to decline but Couche-Tard believes that this change is going to happen gradually because

POSSIBLE OFFSETS TO DECLINING FUEL DEMAND

40

Possible decline in number of stations and fuel volume consolidation. Out of 155k convenience stores in the US, 60% are operated by single store operators

Increased fuel margins

Higher share of premium fuels (higher margins)

Expansion of current convenience offer towards higher margin categories

Increasing number of vehicles

Increasing number of miles driven per vehicle

Industry’s participation in the electrification process

Presentation Notes
Using its presence in Norway as a live-pilot / laboratory and leveraging its learnings in this region to prepare for when higher EV penetration hits other of its geography. ACT considers this as a strategic advantage vs its North American peers Continuing to adapt its offer to changing reality Bringing innovation to its current model Leveraging its scale and competitive supply condition in order to further consolidate the market

COUCHE-TARD’S CONTINUED FOCUS ON OPTIMIZING BUSINESS

42

• Continued improvement of offer and adaptation to changing customers needs• Excellence in execution and capacity to innovate• Continued adaptation of our fuel branding strategy• Improved supply conditions• Cost-efficiency of the our fuel value chain and other parts of the business• Leverage our scale and competitive supply condition in order to further consolidate

the market

Continued work towards our the transformation of our concept mainly through leveraging:

• Using our past experience in adapting to changing market conditions (ex. Tobacco, grocers’ extended hours of operations)

• Testing and introducing new and innovative convenience concepts• Using Norway as a live-pilot for upcoming changes

12.7.2018

CONTINOUS MONITORING

Although we believe that changing global mobility trends are going to happen gradually and that US fuel demand is going to continue to

increase or be stable for another 5-10 years, we are committed to proactively monitor the change in trends and to work towards adapting our business model in order to take advantage of the

opportunities these new trends will bring to our business.

Dans ce contexte, nous croyons que la création de valeur peut se traduire par une simple équation s'appuyant sur nos quatre piliers de création de valeur, soit la croissance organique, les acquisitions, le contrôle des coûts et une structure financière efficiente. Ces quatre piliers font partie intégrante de notre ADN et font l'objet d'un suivi serré et continu à tous les niveaux de l'entreprise. Ce n'est pas l'affaire que de quelques personnes au siège social mais bien de plus de 130,000 personnes à travers le réseau. Nous créons de la valeur principalement par l'entremise de notre croissance organique et de nos acquisitions tandis que le contrôle de nos coûts et la saine gestion de notre bilan nous permettent d'investir dans la croissance organique et les acquisitions. Comme vous le voyez, c'est une roue qui tourne Si nous y allions item par item: Nous générons la croissance organique par l'augmentation de nos ventes et de nos marges par l'entremise de l'amélioration de notre réseau, de l'innovation en magasin ainsi que par nos relations étroites avec nos partenaires, nous assurant des conditions d'approvisionnement optimales Nous créons de la valeur par l'entremise d'acquisitions en nous assurant de payer un juste prix, en intégrant les réseaux acquis de façon efficace et en dégageant des synergies importantes.

Pour s'y faire, nous avons un processus continu de partage des meilleures pratiques et d'analyses comparatives.

Nous créons de la valeur par l'entremise du contrôle de nos coûts en nous assurant de garder leur augmentation bien en-dessous de la croissance de nos ventes. Pour s'y faire, nous avons un processus continu de partage des meilleures pratiques et d'analyses comparatives. Finalement, nous gérons notre bilan de façon efficace en nous assurant d'avoir accès à du financement à un coût compétitif et en maintenant une flexibilité financière qui nous permet d'être en position de profiter en tout temps des opportunités d'investissement qui peuvent se présenter à nous. Maintenant, jetons un coup d'œil à notre performance pour chacun de nos piliers de création de valeurs, en commençant par la croissance organique.

FISCAL 2018 MERCHANDISE & SERVICE MARGIN

Presenter
Presentation Notes
En général, cette croissance ne se fait pas au détriment de la marge. Comme vous le voyez ici, nous avons été en mesure d'augmenter notre marge aux États-Unis et en Europe. Cette augmentation est attribuable à l'augmentation des ventes de produits frais qui ont une marge élevée ainsi qu'aux améliorations continues que nous apportons à nos conditions d'approvisionnement. Au Canada, nous avons aussi amélioré nos conditions d'approvisionnement et nos ventes de produits frais, mais la marge a diminué en raison de l'augmentation de nos ventes de cigarettes et de produits de tabac qui ont une marge moins élevée. Maintenant, tournons-nous vers les acquisitions.

NO CLEAR CORRELATION BETWEEN FUEL PRICES & MARGINS

• No clear correlation between fuel selling price and margins

• Our margins are not directly impacted by lower fuel selling prices

• Lower fuel prices leave customers more money in their pockets for their in-store shopping

DIAPO 55. – ACQUISITIONS À GRANDE VITESSE (Claude) Tel que mentionné par M. Bouchard précédemment, le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est que les 18 derniers mois ont été occupés! Au cours de cette période, nous avons acquis ou avons conclu des ententes pour l'acquisition de pas moins de XXXX magasins, principalement par l'entremise six acquisitions majeures, soit Topaz en Irlande, les magasins Shell au Danemark, les magasins Esso au Canada, CST Brands et CrossAmerica en Amérique du Nord et Pantry et Holiday aux États-Unis. Mais l'addition de magasins ne crée pas nécessairement de valeur. Ce qui en crée, c'est une intégration efficace et rapide. Couche-Tard maitrise cet aspect ainsi que nous pouvons le voir par les synergies anticipées et ou réalisées pour les 3 dernières acquisitions matérielles. Pour SFR, nous avions planifié entre 150 et 200 millions en synergies et nous avons atteint la fourchette haute de notre objectif. Et, je peux vous confirmer que nous continuons d'améliorer l'efficacité de nos opérations en Europe. Pour ce qui est de Pantry, nos objectifs étaient de dégager plus de 125 millions durant les 24 mois suivant l'acquisition. L’objectif a amplement été atteint. Du côté de CST, nos objectifs étaient de dégager 215 millions durant les 36 premiers mois. Nous en sommes présentement à environ 153 millions et sommes confiants que nous serons en mesure d'atteindre notre objectif. Pour ce qui est de Holiday, nos objectifs sont de dégager entre 50 et 60 millions durant les 36 à 48 mois suivant l’acquisition.

DIAPO 56. – LE CONTRÔLE DES COÛTS FAIT PARTIE DE NOTRE ADN (Claude) Tournons-nous maintenant vers notre troisième pilier, le contrôle des coûts. Au cours des 5 dernières années, en moyenne, nous avons limité la croissance organique de nos coûts à 2,0%, bien en-deçà de l'inflation normale. Tel que mentionné précédemment, le secret de notre succès réside dans le fait que le contrôle des coûts fait partie de notre ADN et de la culture d'entreprise. Mais, nous avons aussi plusieurs outils à notre disposition qui nous permettent de faire un suivi serré et de maintenir notre culture d'entreprise dont: Un processus continu d'analyses comparatives. Un partage continu des meilleures pratiques à travers le réseau. Des systèmes et processus efficaces et efficients. Les économies d'échelle que nous générons en devenant plus gros, mais aussi par le développement de saines relations d'affaires avec nos fournisseurs et autres partenaires.
