Dollarama Inc. , (DOL: CA) (OTCPK: DLMAF), headquartered in Montreal, is Canada’s largest dollar discount chain with more than 1,400 retail stores nationwide. item, although that will increase to $5 next year. The company also has a 50. 1% majority stake in Dollar City, a Latin American logo of one-dollar discount retail outlets. I think there is a positive outlook on inventory given the existing macroeconomic headwinds. The company continues to navigate an inflationary environment and has in the past announced that construction aid offsets this pressure.
Management has done a great job at the helm of the company and has noticed that the appreciation of fairness consistently outpaces the entire Canadian market over the past decade. more than six weeks. The company remained resilient for the first part of the year, growing more than 20%, while the Canadian market as a whole was negative. DOL consistently exceeds estimates and has been a silent leader in the Canadian retail landscape since its IPO in 2009.
The company also announced transparent ESG goals and initiatives, which will begin to be a priority in the near future. It’s worth being careful when buying stocks, as other major competitors such as Walmart, Dollar Tree, Giant Tiger, and Circle K (Couche-Tard) have complex selling methods (c. DOL also has regional competition, such as 99 Cent Depot, and has a superior valuation with an existing P/E of around 30. However, DOL remains a selection as inflation remains high. I begin a cautious purchase with an 18-month view of $82/share, with a P/U to EPS ratio of $27 of $3. 00 in CY2023, with an EPS estimate of $2. 71 in CY2022.
Dollarama – Q1 Investor Overview
DOL released strong first-quarter figures in June, including 7. 3% same-store sales expansion and $300 million EBITDA, while reiterating year-round guidance. The company opened ten new outlets and repurchased 1. 4 million shares. Upgrades earned well in the market and the company continued to grow in the first component of 2022. DOL margins lagged two hundred basis points to 42. 1%, as consumables have become a more important component of the sales mix. resized until the end of the year, and given the small reduction, I think they will do so to achieve their goals. season” relating to the sale of shares.
DOL’s effective business processes continue to improve, as evidenced by the drop in its money conversion cycle to 79 days, meaning that DOL takes 79 days to convert shares into money. In recent years, this number has followed a downward trend, indicating an improvement in efficiency. The trend was reinforced through a 14% increase in in-store traffic, which represents more of the DOL logo compared to online sales. it is poised to continue to succeed, either operationally and in the eyes of investors.
DOL also has a presence in Latin America, thanks to a majority stake in Dollar City. While the entity’s earnings are not a curtain to the balance sheet, with only $8. 7 million in the first quarter, owners have a cause put option that is exercised. this year, which means DOL has the option to buy more of the company. Dollar City has several hundred outlets in El Salvador, Guatemala, Colombia and Peru, and control has the opportunity to perceive a customer accustomed to higher inflation and larger product lines explained. While the BOC director confirms that inflation will remain above 7% this year, DOL has the opportunity to stay ahead of its peers and its stock composition in the current part of the year. Its forecast of 60 to 70 new net retail outlets in CY2022 remains intact, and Dollar City is expected to develop its store target, according to CIBC.

Management has been a key bright spot for DOL and an example of this has been communicating ESG goals to investors. Last year, the DOL set a goal of reducing emissions by 25% through 2030 compared to 2019 baseline figures. Although they are not as ambitious as other giants, given DOL’s retail scale in Canada, a country vast and expansive with a concentrated population, those goals seem moderate and achievable. In June, the DOL provided a comprehensive update on its progress. The DOL posted a superior year-over-year rate of waste fabric recovery at the store level, with 77% of recovered fabric diverted from landfills, and announced a commitment to have at least 40% female representation at the store level . level of control The company also detailed where and how the emissions were generated, and defined a key step-by-step procedure to achieve its metrics, which shows that this initiative was not a green facelift. Through effective and consistent operations and leadership on macro issues, the control continued to demonstrate leadership and remain agile in this unprecedented time.
Walmart (WMT), a key wind for the U. S. economy. On July 25, 2022, the U. S. Treasury announced updated forecasts, in which the company reduced its expected profit in the coming year given persistent inflation. While this was not a direct comparison with DOL, the indicators were intriguing because, while negative, they provided a clearer short-term picture of the phenomenon of “business decline” and the composition of sales at one of the world’s largest retailers. In the long term, the retail reduction channel is expected to grow at a cumulative annual expansion rate of 4. 4%. Barclays noted on June 9, 2022, that the DOL had noticed the strength of declining customer movement and that, by maintaining its forecasts, it would most likely exceed expectations. Unemployment insurance claims recently reached an 8-month high, which also reinforces the concept that customers will remain cost-conscious.

Walmart also noted that consumables were adjusting to a more important component of the sales mix, while apparel and electronics would lag behind the year. in May, but warned that they needed to resize stocks for the current 2022 component. While DOL doesn’t stock new foods like Walmart or Target, they do have non-perishable consumables that have a shelf life like beans, chips, and candy. The company’s non-perishable segment also includes smaller travel accessories, adding cosmetics, luggage tags and cervical pillows, which stood out as a strength during the quarter. Overall, given the type of consumables DOL sells, its good luck shown in stock management, and the fact that it is a low-priced brand, there are favorable winds that deduce that DOL will continue to outperform its peers in the short and medium term.

As with any store, there are inherent threats to the business that cannot be fully mitigated. Chief among them for DOL is the cost-effective management of stock and source chain threats. The ability to obtain quality products at low prices is subject to many issues beyond the control of the DOL, including commodity costs, currency fluctuations, and shipping costs. For a company whose main differentiator is price, it will be attractive to see if consumers balk at new $5 products. The industry could also be affected by outbreaks of COVID-19, which could affect in-person traffic. Although the company has an online site, the logo is known as a store, and the online sales fest is fierce compared to its well-positioned outlets. The DOL is also heavily indebted, with a net debt of nearly $1. 9 billion. While the company typically has constant-rate debt, the ability to refinance at a lower rate is probably not imaginable in the near future. DOL has more than $70 million in cash, but to get their retail outlets growing again, they may want to raise capital.
DOL saw a strong buildup in the early part of the year, driven by strong quarterly effects and the expectation that consumers will continue to turn to stores in the face of peak inflation. Although the Company’s net monetary position has decreased due to management’s interest in the buyback percentage, the Company has sufficient cash balances to fund existing expansion plans. The style offers a WACC of 6. 2%. With rates rising, I expect the burden of the increase to exceed 5% if they try to take advantage of this environment, given that their previous fixed-rate debt is between 1. 5% and 3. 6%.

I expect $26. 4 billion in ongoing spending, given earnings expansion of 14% this year and combined earnings expansion of about 6. 5% over three years, comparable retail outlet sales expansion will continue to impress. I see that the margins end up near the most sensitive of the forecast, at 43. 7%, for the year. I believe other charge ratios are more commonly on par with third class as they were conservative given the strong first quarter numbers. Given an estimate of inventory buybacks, an inventory value of $82 (see below) would likely be supported by fundamentals. Inventory value is supported by a P/E ratio of 27 to EPS of $3. 00 in CY2023, with an estimated EPS of $2. 71 in CY2022. This position has an EV/EBITDA ratio of 22. 1, in line with industry peers and analyst estimates. In today’s value target, I estimate the number of inventories to be notable at 290MM, up from 294MM in the first quarter, given that DOL repurchased 1. 4MM of inventories last quarter and continues to focus on this initiative.

DOL remains the leader in reduced retail sales in Canada and is expected to take advantage of peak inflation. The company has physically powerful operations and continues to expand in South America. While valuable, I think DOL is worth a cautious purchase and its functionality in the afterlife is reassuring.
