Established in 1992, Dollarama is one of the largest value retail stores in Canada. Presently,

they employ over 13,000 employees and have 667 locations across the country. Dollarama provides

its customers with a variety of consumer products, general merchandise, and seasonal items. Its

customers are able to find a consistent shopping experience with affordable products in convenient

locations. The company is the market leader in dollar stores, and are constantly seeking

opportunities to expand.

Some of Dollarama’s competitors include Dollar Store With More, Great Canadian, and Dollar

Giant. Dollarama has performed well with respect to its competition; the company has five times as

many stores as their next best competitor Dollar Store With More. The Canadian dollar store

industry can be characterized as monopolistic competition—each company offers different price

ranges, merchandise mix, different consistencies of product offerings, store layouts, and locations.

Dollarama’s strategy is to differentiate themselves from the rest of the market by holding a selection

of nationally branded products, offering a more consistent product selection, and offering a unique

seasonal theme.

Within the value retail industry in Canada, there is plenty of opportunity to grow. There are

31,100 people per dollar store in Canada, whereas in the United States there are only 14,500 people

per dollar store. However, even with the success of the business model there are always risks within

any corporation. An important risk that Dollarama faces is in managing their operating costs. Cost

factors such as merchandise costs, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, lease costs, and inflation all

contribute to the profitability of the company. If any of these costs were to increase, it would

decrease their profits, hurt their margins, and reduce their cash inflows. More recently, Dollarama

has increased their price points for certain products to $1.25, some to $1.50, and others to $2.00.

This was implemented to offset any additional costs from the market that was beyond their control.

However, there is no assurance that increasing the prices of certain products will continue to cover

additional costs in the future—they have a limited range in which to price products due to their

branding as a “dollar” store.

Beyond these risks, Dollarama Inc. as a business has performed very well. They have

employed thousands of workers, offering a variety of convenient products and expanding by

opening 43 new stores on average every year since 2002. Many analysts would argue that

Dollarama is one of the most valuable businesses for the Canadian economy.

Dollarama Inc. has experienced consistent growth and plan on building even more stores in

Canada, particularly outside of Ontario and Quebec where most of their current operations are

located. The company has 261 stores in Ontario and 221 stores in Quebec which represents roughly

75% of their total retail outlets. There is plenty of opportunity to expand in western Canada as there

is not a clear market leader for dollar stores established in the west.

The company will approach its expansion by hiring and training additional workers and

retaining an increasing number of qualified employees. Retail outlets generally have a high rate of

labour turnover, and one of Dollarama’s key management strategies is to reduce their turnover rate.

They believe that their employees are the most important part of their business, and investing more

in them will yield great benefits in the long-run.

Just as the company plans to invest in its employees, it is also planning to invest more in its

warehouses and distribution centers. Upgrading Dollarama’s warehouses and distribution centres

in an efficient and economic manner is an important stepping stone to expanding their business.

Dollarama achieves its highest sales during the Christmas holiday season, but also around

other holidays such as Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and Easter. It aims to capitalize more heavily on

these trends to generate maximum revenues in an operating cycle.

A horizontal analysis was performed by taking the value of key accounts from the fiscal

years 2009 to 2011. A horizontal analysis is used to study percentage changes in key indicators of

the company which tell us how the company is performing overall.

The horizontal analysis of the income statement shows that total sales increased 15.1% in

2010 and 30.4% in 2011. This was greater than the 11.9% increase in cost of sales in 2010 and

25.2% increase in 2011. This results in Dollarama’s net income increasing consistently over the last

two years, at 570% in 2010 and 853.5% in 2011 respectively. This successful outcome is likely due

to the expanding nature of their business. With increased costs that come with expanding, there is

also opportunity for increased income.

On the balance sheet, horizontal analysis shows that the total assets of the company

decreased by 3% in 2010 and 3.8% in 2011. The liabilities of the company have also decreased by

43.9% in 2010 and 54.6% in 2011. This may be due to selling an asset, such as a piece of real estate

or equipment on which there is debt (a liability) that is paid off when sold. In this scenario, the

company would first sell the asset and receive cash. This increases cash (asset) and decreases

equipment (asset). Then the cash is used to pay the outstanding debt. This decreases debt (liability)

and decreases cash (asset). However, due to the small decrease in assets compared to the large

decrease in liabilities, a more likely scenario is that the company is using excess cash generated

from operations to pay off its debt, explaining the large decrease in liabilities on the company’s

balance sheet.

A vertical analysis was performed from the fiscal years 2010 to 2011. A vertical analysis is

used to analyze a financial statement that depicts the relationship between each statement account

to the specified base. In Dollarama’s analysis the bases were sales for the income statement and

total assets and total liabilities and shareholders’ equity for the balance sheet.

The vertical analysis on the consolidated income statement shows an increase in the

percentage of net earnings from 2010 to 2011. This is due to the decrease in the percentage of cost

of sales from 2010 to 2011 (from 87.8% to 85.5%). The operating income was 2.3% higher by

margin in 2011. The lower percentage ratio of cost of sales to sales in 2011 indicates that Dollarama

used their resources efficiently and had a better fiscal year in 2011 than in 2010. The specified base

to compare each account from the statement is revenue.

Vertical analysis on the consolidated balance sheet shows that cash and cash equivalents

holdings in percentage ratio to the assets has decreased (from 7% to 4.05). This has a direct

correlation with long-term debt (liability) decreasing significantly (from 35.4% to 26.5%). Overall

liabilities have decreased from 53.5% to 43.7% in ratio to the total liabilities and shareholders’

equity. This indicates that Dollarama has paid off a lot of their debt with the cash they had available

in 2011. Overall the specified bases to compare each account from the statement are total assets and

total liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

Dollarama’s working capital increased dramatically from 58.38 million in 2008 to 258.26

million in 2009, then dropped significantly to 178.51 million in 2010 and later grew to 182.74

million in 2011. The working capital is a measure of a company’s operating liquidity – it ensures

that the company will have sufficient funds to cover short-term debt and future operating expenses.

Dollarama’s significant growth in working capital indicates that the company has much flexibility its

operating initiatives.

The acid test ratio in 2008 was very low at 0.22, then increased dramatically to 0.75 in 2009

and slowly diminished to 0.63 and 0.44 in 2010 and 2011 respectively. The acid test ratio illustrates

a company’s ability to cover immediate liabilities with short-term assets not including inventory.

Dollarama’s acid test ratio has been consistently under 1, and has been steadily decreasing in 2010

and 2011 – this suggests that much of Dollarama’s assets are dependent on inventory; the company

will be unable to pay off current liabilities without the sale of its inventory.

Dollarama’s debt ratio has be decreasing from 0.948 in 2008 to 0.437 in 2009; as a measure

of leverage, the declining debt ratio shows that Dollarama has been de-leveraging themselves. While

this may be beneficial in terms of reducing interest expenses and minimizing risk exposure to the

credit markets, failing to leverage enough of the business may lead to lower returns. The times-

interest earned ratio reflects this deleveraging as well—it has increased steadily from 1.31 in 2008

to 5.91 in 2011, showing that Dollarama's operating income is increasing much faster than its

interest expense and is able to finance expansion at a rate that outstrips its cost of debt.

Dollarama’s inventory turnover increased steadily from 2.92 to 3.03 to 3.33 in 2009, 2010,

and 2011 respectively. The inventory turnover ratio demonstrates how many times the company’s

inventory is sold and replaced over time. In Dollarama’s case, growing inventory turnover ratios

suggest that inventory is being sold faster. The accounts receivable turnover cannot be calculated

because the company does not have any credit sales.

Dollarama’s return on sales increased from 5.15% in 2008 to 8.23% in 2011, with a

decrease to –1.42% in 2009 when the company reported a net loss. The return on sales is an

important measure of the company’s ability to control its costs, and a higher return represents

greater efficiency. Dollarama’s strong growth in return on sales over the past four years shows that

the company is becoming more profitable and is able to grow revenues faster than expenses. Since

Dollarama’s debt ratio has declined, an analysis of its return on equity would not reflect profit-

driven results, since the company’s equity base has increased relative to its total assets.

Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:DLTR), with 85 corporate stores in Canada, can be regarded as the

only significant single competitor for Dollarama.1 The next most significant competitor as stated in

their annual reports is “Your Dollar Store and More”, which is not publicly traded and uses a

franchise business model unlike Dollarama’s corporate owned stores. Furthermore, on November

2010, Dollar Tree acquired 86 stores of Canadian Dollar Giant stores; this makes it clear the

company has plans in the near future to further penetrate the Canadian market. Beyond that, there

are no large identifiable competitors with which to compare Dollarama. The rest of the dollar-store

market is highly fragmented and consists of private chains, local businesses, and mom-and-pop

dollar stores—thus, no industry averages are publicly available. We cannot compare Dollarama to

more general retail stores and department chains such as Wal-Mart since their target markets are

not the same and they do not have the same primary driver of revenues and different business

models. Wall-Mart’s core capability comes from its supply chain, while Dollarama’s core capability

comes from its ability to maintain margins even at the discount level. Due to the reasons above and

the similarities between Dollarama and Dollar Tree’s business model, we have chosen Dollar Tree as

the key competitor to compare Dollarama against.

1 (Pett, D (2010, Oct 13th) Dollarama should with stand competition from Dollar Tree, National Post, pp. FP. 9. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/758535937?accountid=6180)

http://search.proquest.com/docview/758535937?accountid=6180

Common-Size Income Statement Comparison with Dollar Tree reveals favourable conditions

for Dollarama. Despite the larger operations of Dollar Tree, Dollarama is able to operate at

comparatively better margins. Dollarama’s COGS is 57.9%, 6.6% lower than Dollar Tree. This means

that Dollarama is able to operate much more cost efficiently than Dollar Tree (Appendix 3), and this

result is especially significant when we consider Dollar Tree should be able to minimize cost more

efficiently due to their size with economies of scale. This cumulatively puts Dollarama’s IBT and Net

Earnings at a better position as well. Thus, despite the conflicting factors in comparing Dollarama

with Dollar Tree, Dollarama is performing comparatively better than its competitor.

Comparisons of selected ratios for the fiscal year ending 2011 Dollar Tree Dollarama

Ratios Acid Test Ratio 0.91 0.44

Inventory Turnover 5.12 3.33

Debt Ratio 0.18 0.44

Return on Sales 6.75% 8.23%

Return on Assets 16.89% 8.91%

Gross Margin 35.49% 42.11%

We can get a better picture of the performance of both companies by comparing key ratios.

Dollar Tree has a higher acid test ratio than Dollarama, indicating that it is more liquid and more

able to pay short-term debts, and also has a lower debt ratio, which means the company is less

leveraged than Dollarama is. Combine this with Dollar Tree’s significantly higher times interest

earned ratio, and we can see that Dollar Tree is better at managing debt in general. In terms of

profitability, Dollarama has greater gross margins and greater return on sales, meaning that the

company is more cost-efficient and is better than managing costs than Dollar Tree is. However,

Dollarama’s return on assets is lower than Dollar Tree’s ROA, and indicates that although Dollarama

generates greater profits per sale, it has lower asset utilization and requires more capital to

generate the same dollar of profit. Dollarama also has a lower inventory turnover than Dollar Tree,

meaning that Dollar Tree turns to sell more aggressively throughout its operating cycle.

Dollarama’s increasing P/E Ratio is reflective of its growing EPS and financial health. The

company’s 2011 P/E ratio of 15.25 means that investors are willing to pay $15.25 for each $1 of net

income that the company generates. However, this value is low when compared to Dollar Tree’s P/E

Ratios of 34.15, 38.75, and 45.96 in 2009, 2010, and 2011 respectively. This result can be

interpreted in two ways, either that Dollar Tree is more valuable to investors than Dollarama is, or

that Dollarama is being undervalued and a buying opportunity exists in investing in Dollarama. The

interpretation is up to the individual investor and whether he/she wants to be optimistic or

pessimistic.

Dollarama’s dividend policy on its Annual Information Form states “The Corporation has not

declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Shares to date, and does not currently intend to

pay any cash dividends on its Common Shares. The Corporation currently intends to use its earnings

to fund future operations, to finance the expansion of its business and to reduce indebtedness”.

Therefore, it does not allow us to consider this ratio for analysis purposes.

Dollarama has shown to be a profitable company that has been steadily growing for the past

three years. The company’s liquidity ratios indicate strong baseline financial health; the steady

improvement in the company’s solvency ratios, in particular the decline in its debt ratio, shows that

the company is well positioned enough to pay off a large amount of its long-term debt. However,

there is one predominant red flag in Dollarama’s liquidity ratio: the year-over-year decrease in the

company’s acid-test ratio. In 2008, the ratio was very low at 0.22 and increased dramatically to 0.75

in 2009. However, it diminished in subsequent years to 0.63 and 0.44 in 2010 and 2011

respectively. This year-over-year decrease in Dollarama’s acid test ratio shows that that company is

slowly becoming less able to cover immediate liabilities with short-term assets sans inventory—this

means that in the near future, Dollarama may be unable to cover its accounts payables and other

expenses when they come due in the short-term. In terms of overall profitability, Dollarama has

shown healthy margins that outstrip its competitors, its gross margin percentage of 42.11% means

that for every $1 item that Dollarama sells, the company retains 42 cents for paying its

administrative costs. This is higher than Dollar Tree’s 35.49%--reflecting Dollarama’s 7 cent

advantage over its competitor. When products in the discount industry sell for $1 or $2, this 7 cent

difference is a significant amount that puts Dollarama at the top of the industry.
