ALON BLUE SQUARE ISRAEL LTD.
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2015
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Segment reporting
The Company includes segment information according to IFRS 8. The reporting is based on the Company's organizational structure, the internal reporting, the allocation of resources and the decision-making process. The Company presents four reporting segments: Supermarkets – food retail, Fueling and Commercial sites, Houseware and textile, Real Estate in addition to other segment which includes mainly Cellular activity, the Company's share in the issuance and clearance activity of credit cards, the baby products sector and the logistic center in Beer Tuvia. The segments' results, as reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) include the operating profit before financial expenses from continuing operations, including the company's share in gains of associates and excluding impairment of excess costs. The segments' results for prior periods were adjusted in order to reflect the segment's results and the adjustment to the results in the consolidated report for those periods from continuing operations.
The Company's operating segments consist of the following:
(1) Fueling and commercial sites – Through its subsidiary Dor-Alon the Company is engaged in the development, construction and operation of vehicle fueling stations, adjacent commercial centers and independent convenience stores, marketing of fuel products and other products through the fueling stations and convenience stores and direct marketing of distillates to customers. The fueling and commercial sites segment is presented according to the published financial statements of Dor-Alon, with reclassification of credit card fees and with the amortization of the excess of costs arising at the time of acquisition allocated to the reconciliation between the operating profit of the segment and the consolidated operating profit.
(2) Supermarkets – The Company operates the second largest food retail chain in Israel. Through its subsidiary, Mega Retail Ltd. ("Mega Retail"), which operates Supermarket branches, the Company offers a wide range of food and beverage products and "Non-food" items, such as houseware, toys, small electrical appliances, computers and computer accessories, entertainment and leisure products and textile products and "Near-Food" products, such as health and beauty aids, products for infants, cosmetics and hygiene products. As of March 31, 2015, Mega Retail operated 192 supermarkets including branches which were resolved to cease their operation. This segment also includes properties owned through Blue Square Real Estate ("BSRE"), in connection with the supermarket operation of Mega Retail's stores (including warehouses and offices). The results of branches which were resolved to cease their operation including comparative figures that were restated are included in the adjustments of segment results to consolidated profit or loss since the CODM reviews the Supermarkets segment without these branches. The allocation of costs attributed to the branches which were resolved to cease their operation was made based on direct costs and joint expenses that will be saved.
(3) Houseware and textile –through its subsidiary, Na'aman Group (NV) Ltd. ("Na'aman"), the Company is engaged as retailer and wholesaler in houseware and textile activities. As of March 31, 2015, Na'aman operated 113 stores, some through franchisees. Effective from this quarter, the Company presents in Houseware and textile segment Na'aman Group's houseware and textile activity. Other activities which were included in this segment are presented in others. Comparative figures were classified accordingly. The segment's resultsare presented according to the published financial statements of Na'aman Group. Amortization of excess costs and impairment of goodwill included in the reconciliation between the operating profit of the segment and the consolidated operating profit.
(4) Real Estate – Through its subsidiary BSRE the Company is engaged in generating yield from commercial centers, logistics centers and offices, land for the purpose of capital appreciation and deriving long-term yield as well as in the development of the "Wholesale Market" residency project.
(5) Others – Alon Blue Square through its 100% subsidiary, Alon Cellular Ltd, operates an MVNO network in Israel and through Diners Club Israel Ltd., an associate held at 49%, which operates in the sector of issuance and clearance of YOU credit cards to the customer club members of the group, by Dr. Baby Marketing and Distribution 888 Ltd. 100 % held subsidiary as a retailer and wholesaler in the baby products sector and by Bee Group Ltd.100% held subsidiary which operates the logistic center in Beer Tuvia.

______________________ |
1 The Company operates in 4 reportable segments: fueling and commercial sites, supermarkets, houseware and textile and real estate. Segment reporting is included in this report below. |
2 The segment revenues do not include branches which were resolved to cease their operations and therefore are not included in the segment. |
3 Use of financial measures that are not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles |
Adjusted EBITDA is a measure that is not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Non-GAAP) and is defined as income before financial income (expenses) net, other gains (losses) net, changes in fair value of investment property, taxes, share in gains of associates, depreciation and amortization in addition to share in adjusted EBITDA of equity accounted investees and share in EBITDA of branches which were resolved to cease their operation and accumulated revaluation profits of real estate properties that were realized in the period and capital gains from realizing real estate properties that were self-used. It is an accepted ratio in the retail industry. It is presented as an additional performance measure, since it enables comparisons of operating performances between periods and companies while neutralizing potential differences resulting from changes in capital structures, taxes, age of property and equipment and its related depreciation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be related to as a single measure or as an alternative to operating income, another performance indicator and to cash flow information, which are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as indicators of profit or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA does not take the costs of servicing debt and other liabilities into account, including capital expenditures and therefore it does not necessarily indicate the amounts that may be available to the use of the company and in addition Adjusted EBITDA should not be compared to other indicators with similar names reported by other companies because of differences in the calculation of these indicators. See the reconciliation between our net income and Adjusted EBITDA which is presented in this press release. |
