We are focused oncost-effective operationalperformance throughout ourlarge footprint of leadingtechnology-enabled retailoperations and distributionchannels, as described in thisreport. This, together with ourstrategic focus areas(outlined on pages 22 to 27),provide further context for theinvestment case.RemunerationreportPerformancesummaryOur unmatchedfood retail positioningacross 15 African countriesOur customer-firstapproach focusingon affordabilityWe operate 1 845 corporate-owned food and liquor retailstores, supported by considerable distribution infrastructureand an integrated enterprise-wide information andtechnology system, across 15 African countries – a profileunmatched by any other retailer on the continent. Inaddition, our OK Franchise brand extends across the wholefood retail convenience market with 460 stores.In recent years, ourapproach has evolved to putthe customer at the centreof all our thinking anddevelopment: our decisionsaim to save our customerstime and money, andincrease convenience forthem. We prioritiseaffordability across thebusiness, which for somesegments means a R5 delimeal and in others meansreaping the benefits of ourrapidly expanding privatelabels. We are alsoexpanding our digitalservices portfolio to respondeffectively to a greater rangeof customer needs.Over the past 30 years, the Group has built extensive brandtrust, recognition and goodwill in the countries where weoperate, as shown by our top ranking1 in Brand Africa’s2019 Top 100 brands survey. Our skills and execution areunrivaled and we are well positioned for when theeconomies in which we operate outside of South Africarebound. The medium- to long-term opportunity provided tous as the established food retail leader on the Africancontinent will be worth the current challenges, whichresulted in a loss in our Non-RSA division during 2019.Shareholderinformation16We ranked fourth overall and highest of all the African brands.Our corporate-ownedfood retail modeladdressing allmarket segmentsThe Shoprite Group includes four majorcorporate-owned and -operated food retailbrands: Shoprite, Usave, Checkers andCheckers Hyper, together with operationsserving the furniture, pharmacy and foodservices market. The Group generates themajority of its R150 billion turnover fromfood retailing, about 75% of which stemsfrom its core division, Supermarkets RSA.We operate in 14 other African countries andwe estimate our share of the food retailmarket in South Africa to be the largest of allthe major retailers. Beyond food retail, theShoprite Group operates substantialbusinesses in the categories of liquor,pharmacy, general merchandise, furnitureand the franchising of food and liquor.Across our brands, our diverse storeformats range from large hypers to smallerconvenience formats. Aside from ourfurniture division, which now generates12.7% of its sales on credit, the Group’sturnover is generated entirely through cashsales.

Our growingconvenience footprintwith our OKFranchise formatsWe believe in the significantopportunity that exists fromgrowing our share of themid-to-upper segment ofthe food retail market, wherehistorically we have beenunder-represented.This market segmentdemonstrates greaterresilience in South Africa’scurrent economic context.We have made great strideswith our Checkers brand inrecent years by improvingand extending ourconvenience ranges whilealigning our products withhealthy eating and cleanerliving. We are alsomodernising stores whereappropriate, upgrading toour new FreshX storeconcept.The OK Franchise Divisionincludes three different retailformats: OK Foods, OKMiniMark and OK Express,as well as a liquor outlet(OK Liquor) and a wholesaleoutlet (Megasave). It has awide geographic reach,serving both metropolitanand rural and remote areas.Its success stems from thepowerful combination ofcommunity-basedownership and the ShopriteGroup’s infrastructure andbuying power support. Inrecent years, its rebrandinghas ensured it presents asingle, consistent brand andthe franchise is performingwell.RemunerationreportOur Usave brand is a no-frills, harddiscounter, with a limited range of basiccommodities at stripped-to-the-boneprices. It serves a traditionally underservedmarket segment, taking food retailing rightinto the heart of communities. Usave storefixturing is minimal and product ranging islimited to basic necessities, with a strongfocus on our own private label ranges,offering customers unequalled value formoney. The most recent addition to theUsave store portfolio is a container storeformat branded Usave eKasi, whichtranslates to “my community”. The eKasistore uses five or six shipping containerscarrying roughly 1 000 products. Thisflexible format allows us to establish outletswhere bigger, formal stores would not beviable.Our growing share ofthe mid-to-upperfood segment inSouth AfricaPerformancesummaryThe Shoprite brandchampions low prices forthe people, providing almost70% of South Africa’spopulation with access tothe lowest prices on a widerange of commodities andgrocery items. Thebusiness’s unwavering40-year customercommitment to “lowerprices you can trust,always” remains at thecentre of everything we doand we monitor, on a dailybasis, our pricing relative topeers.
