DX Group Flotation: Where best to invest the proceeds?
With growth shooting way ahead of the economy, the express delivery industry has gained much attention in recent years, no more so than in late February when one of the leading UK operators DX Group floated on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in London.
The IPO of the Buckinghamshire based company based raised over £200 million, making it one of the largest flotations in recent years on the AIM. With early trading of the shares fluctuating between 125p and 130p, the company is valued in excess of £250 million.
The firm’s intentions in going public are reported to be two-fold - clearing debt and investing in existing services. The first aim is evidently important from closer inspection of the company’s finances. Net interest and finance costs on debt climbed to over £30 million in 2012 and 2013, with the indirect result that the company hasn’t reported a pre-tax profit in the last five years.
Where the company might choose to invest is a more interesting question. Mintel’s forthcoming Courier and Express Delivery UK 2014 report projects that the market in the UK will expand by some 38% over the next five years, with the majority of growth being driven by increasing business-to-consumer (B2C) revenues.
DX made a significant move to build its B2C revenues in 2012, when it acquired Nightfreight, and the sale of its B2B Business Direct operation to ByBox in November 2013 was a further demonstration of its focus on balancing its mix of revenues and capitalising on increased demand from growing online retail sales in the UK.
One theme of Mintel’s research into the market is the identified need for operators to invest in accessible consumer-facing systems that will offer B2C customers more flexibility in when and how they receive a delivery.
Investment in the industry often takes the form of expanding the physical network, by expanding and improving distribution operations. However, to keep pace with competitors, such as DPD, who have invested in ever-improving services that can pin delivery down to as short as a 15-minute window, investment in front-end systems is thought to be key to securing future market share.
This is more apparent as households, rather than businesses, are increasingly the end recipients of deliveries. Mintel estimates that retail and consumer goods, as an end-use sector for express delivery services, represented 39% of the market in 2013. The same sector represented just 23% five years ago.
Convenience is replacing speed as the primary concern of end-users in the market and investment, in an industry where margins are squeezed tight, must bear this in mind.

Mintel in the Media – This week’s highlights
Mintel in the Media is a weekly review, bringing together a selection of the most high profile press stories showcasing Mintel’s data and analysis from around the world. Highlights from the past weeks include:
UK:
Economist: A risky business. Ladbrokes will close 50 premises in 2014 after average annual profits per shop fell from £82,000 to £58,000. Mintel, a research firm, thinks the betting-shop business will decline 7% by 2019.
Economist: Down tools. Expect this trend to continue. Homeowners in their 20s and 30s are the most enthusiastic DIYers, says Richard Perks at Mintel. Rising house prices mean there are fewer of them, leaving owner-occupiers as a more elderly bunch (see chart). The old have less energy for plastering and painting and more money to pay for professional help. That’s bad news for DIY shows, though.
The Independent: Stevia wonder: The plant that's a super sugar alternative – and free from calories and carbs. Laura Jones, a food science analyst at Mintel, said: "Stevia is the one to watch. It's still early in the innovation process, but it will become more appealing as new variants are released."
The Guardian: 'You don't earn as much money as the girls': The idea of a stable of male supermodels equivalent to Naomi, Kate, Claudia and Christy seems remote, sure, but men's fashion is on the up.

The Guardian: E-cigarette television advertising to be investigated. According to Mintel, the market in e-cigarettes ballooned by 340% to £193m in 2013.
The Guardian: Ladbrokes promises to calm row over problem betting. The machines have become important moneyspinners for betting chains such as Ladbrokes, William Hill and Gala Coral. The 33,000 fixed-odds betting terminals in the UK account for about £1.6bn of the industry's in-store takings of £3bn, according to research group Mintel.
The Guardian: Lego builds yet another record profit to become world's top toymaker. A toy analyst at market research firm Mintel said Lego’s recovery had been fuelled by its investment in quality and design.

Heidi Lanschützer, food and drink analyst at Mintel, said: "Britain's love for Cheddar still continues to dominate the market, accounting for over 50 per cent of value and 53 per cent of volume sales in 2013. However, the fact that the segment failed to keep pace with the overall market in 2013 reflects both its maturity as well as the fact that consumers are turning to speciality cheeses, notably continental, recipe and blue cheese."
BBC News: E-cigarette ban for Los Angeles. The use of e-cigarettes in the UK has increased rapidly. According to data research company Mintel, the market is now worth £193m.
ITV: Sales of e-cigarettes 'booming'.

Money AM: £13m Equity Issue, £1m Open Offer and Notice ...Consumer spending on OTC medications, including those for cough, grew by 10% over 2005-10, to reach GBP532 million in UK [source: Mintel].
Easy Jet: “I feel like I'm on another planet. I'm virtually hallucinating. It feels like every cell in my. Some 40-million Brits admit to stress and anxiety, according to a Mintel report from 2010: “A third have the weight of the world on their shoulders,” it says. Their main preoccupations? Money, friends and family, health and work - and there's still a stigma associated with admitting problems, with only 6% seeking professional help.
Inside Housing: Mintel sounds warning over housing bubble. Analysts at Mintel have warned that the sustained improvement in the housing market could be hampered by any removal of government initiatives designed to prop it up.

Mintel’s annual UK Holiday Review forecasts steady year-on-year growth in holiday sales over the next five years - although it adds that the travel sector is unlikely to replicate the boom of 2008.
Mirror: E-cigarette sales rise 340% in a year - beating nicotine patches, lozenges and gum for the first time. Analyst Mintel said youths could think it is a less harmful alternative. Spokesperson Roshida Khanom said: “With the growing popularity of E-cigarettes, there is concern that young people may take up ‘vaping’ as a less harmful alternative to smoking.

Maxx and Marshalls over the last 12 months, while 20 percent had visited outlet stores like Last Call by Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th. Only 2 percent reported visiting a Loehmann’s. New York Times: Dove tells women to love their armpits. Despite the economic downturn and few nonusers to lure into the category, the deodorant market has grown steadily, with revenues increasing 9 percent in the United States from 2008 to 2013, according to the market research firm Mintel. Unit sales have been flat or down, but for so-called clinical strength varieties, which have higher concentrations of anti-wetness active ingredients, brands are charging about twice as much as for their regular deodorants.

DX Group Flotation: Where best to invest the proceeds?
With growth shooting way ahead of the economy, the express delivery industry has gained much attention in recent years, no more so than in late February when one of the leading UK operators DX Group floated on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in London.
The IPO of the Buckinghamshire based company based raised over £200 million, making it one of the largest flotations in recent years on the AIM. With early trading of the shares fluctuating between 125p and 130p, the company is valued in excess of £250 million.
The firm’s intentions in going public are reported to be two-fold - clearing debt and investing in existing services. The first aim is evidently important from closer inspection of the company’s finances. Net interest and finance costs on debt climbed to over £30 million in 2012 and 2013, with the indirect result that the company hasn’t reported a pre-tax profit in the last five years.
Where the company might choose to invest is a more interesting question. Mintel’s forthcoming Courier and Express Delivery UK 2014 report projects that the market in the UK will expand by some 38% over the next five years, with the majority of growth being driven by increasing business-to-consumer (B2C) revenues.
DX made a significant move to build its B2C revenues in 2012, when it acquired Nightfreight, and the sale of its B2B Business Direct operation to ByBox in November 2013 was a further demonstration of its focus on balancing its mix of revenues and capitalising on increased demand from growing online retail sales in the UK.
One theme of Mintel’s research into the market is the identified need for operators to invest in accessible consumer-facing systems that will offer B2C customers more flexibility in when and how they receive a delivery.
Investment in the industry often takes the form of expanding the physical network, by expanding and improving distribution operations. However, to keep pace with competitors, such as DPD, who have invested in ever-improving services that can pin delivery down to as short as a 15-minute window, investment in front-end systems is thought to be key to securing future market share.
This is more apparent as households, rather than businesses, are increasingly the end recipients of deliveries. Mintel estimates that retail and consumer goods, as an end-use sector for express delivery services, represented 39% of the market in 2013. The same sector represented just 23% five years ago.
Convenience is replacing speed as the primary concern of end-users in the market and investment, in an industry where margins are squeezed tight, must bear this in mind.

Mintel in the Media – This week’s highlights
Mintel in the Media is a weekly review, bringing together a selection of the most high profile press stories showcasing Mintel’s data and analysis from around the world. Highlights from the past weeks include:
UK
Economist: A risky business. Ladbrokes will close 50 premises in 2014 after average annual profits per shop fell from £82,000 to £58,000. Mintel, a research firm, thinks the betting-shop business will decline 7% by 2019.
Economist: Down tools. Expect this trend to continue. Homeowners in their 20s and 30s are the most enthusiastic DIYers, says Richard Perks at Mintel. Rising house prices mean there are fewer of them, leaving owner-occupiers as a more elderly bunch (see chart). The old have less energy for plastering and painting and more money to pay for professional help. That’s bad news for DIY shows, though.
The Independent: Stevia wonder: The plant that's a super sugar alternative – and free from calories and carbs. Laura Jones, a food science analyst at Mintel, said: "Stevia is the one to watch. It's still early in the innovation process, but it will become more appealing as new variants are released."
The Guardian: 'You don't earn as much money as the girls': The idea of a stable of male supermodels equivalent to Naomi, Kate, Claudia and Christy seems remote, sure, but men's fashion is on the up. Estimated to be worth £10.4bn in 2013, it's grown 12% in the past five years, and a study by Mintel suggests this will continue, with growth to 2017 predicted at 11%.
The Guardian: E-cigarette television advertising to be investigated. According to Mintel, the market in e-cigarettes ballooned by 340% to £193m in 2013.
The Guardian: Ladbrokes promises to calm row over problem betting. The machines have become important moneyspinners for betting chains such as Ladbrokes, William Hill and Gala Coral. The 33,000 fixed-odds betting terminals in the UK account for about £1.6bn of the industry's in-store takings of £3bn, according to research group Mintel.
The Guardian: Lego builds yet another record profit to become world's top toymaker. A toy analyst at market research firm Mintel said Lego’s recovery had been fuelled by its investment in quality and design.
The Daily Telegraph: The unpalatable truth: the colour has drained from our bathrooms. Mintel, the market researcher, says that as recently as 2008, 20 per cent of consumers said matching colours with decor was “one of the most important factors when buying household paper products”.
The Daily Telegraph: English cheeses lose out as Brits go continental. Heidi Lanschützer, food and drink analyst at Mintel, said: "Britain's love for Cheddar still continues to dominate the market, accounting for over 50 per cent of value and 53 per cent of volume sales in 2013. However, the fact that the segment failed to keep pace with the overall market in 2013 reflects both its maturity as well as the fact that consumers are turning to speciality cheeses, notably continental, recipe and blue cheese."
BBC News: E-cigarette ban for Los Angeles. The use of e-cigarettes in the UK has increased rapidly. According to data research company Mintel, the market is now worth £193m.
ITV: Sales of e-cigarettes 'booming'.

Easy Jet: “I feel like I'm on another planet. I'm virtually hallucinating. It feels like every cell in my. Some 40-million Brits admit to stress and anxiety, according to a Mintel report from 2010: “A third have the weight of the world on their shoulders,” it says. Their main preoccupations?

Mirror: E-cigarette sales rise 340% in a year - beating nicotine patches, lozenges and gum for the first time. Analyst Mintel said youths could think it is a less harmful alternative. Spokesperson Roshida Khanom said: “With the growing popularity of E-cigarettes, there is concern that young people may take up ‘vaping’ as a less harmful alternative to smoking.

Maxx and Marshalls over the last 12 months, while 20 percent had visited outlet stores like Last Call by Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th. Only 2 percent reported visiting a Loehmann’s. New York Times: Dove tells women to love their armpits. Despite the economic downturn and few nonusers to lure into the category, the deodorant market has grown steadily, with revenues increasing 9 percent in the United States from 2008 to 2013, according to the market research firm Mintel. Unit sales have been flat or down, but for so-called clinical strength varieties, which have higher concentrations of anti-wetness active ingredients, brands are charging about twice as much as for their regular deodorants.
