This report contains a competitive company benchmarking analysis based on key financial and operating parameters and ratios of a select peer group of companies, compared to one another and to overall global averages for their retail channel. The analysis highlights the companies that are performing the best among the peer group, and in which areas, and therefore clarifies leading performance standards and the strengths and weaknesses of companies covered.

Key Highlights:

Mr Price was the strongest performer of the leading clothing, footwear, accessories and luxury goods retailers in Middle East and Africa. The company's strong performance was driven by the high scores it received for the operational efficiency pillar.

Foschini was the strongest performer under the financial performance pillar. However, the company's performance in other pillars was comparable to or weaker than the channel average.

Fawaz Alhokair was the weakest performer of the leading clothing, footwear, accessories and luxury goods retailers in Middle East and Africa. The company's poor performance was driven by the weak results in scale and growth, and financial performance pillars.

The Middle East and African clothing, footwear, accessories and luxury goods retail market is highly fragmented and is dominated by unorganized operators consisting of independent stores or small store chains.

The benchmark analysis is based on key parameters and ratios that explain the performance of a particular company against that of its immediate peers and its overall channel of operation. As such, it provides an easy-to-use analysis which highlights the companies that are setting the benchmark performance in their channel of operation.
