Bon Appetit Report
Bon Appetit

To: Tim Reid, Weinburg Investments
From: Dmitry Zimin, Director, Bon Appetit PLC
Subject: Bon Appetit development
Date: 13 October 2010

Purpose
The aim of this report is to give the figures concerning recent developments of Bon Appetit to present its achievements and plans for the future improvement. In the attached materials one can find a diagram, clearly showing the company’s performance during the last 3 years. The graph will also be analysed in the report.

Background
Bon Appetit is a group of companies specialising in catering. It includes such restaurant chains as Bon Appetit (22 restaurants, higher-income groups oriented), The Seashell (10 restaurants, tailored for middle-income clientele) and Innovia Cafes, acquired last year (16 cafes, suitable for all income groups and family-orientated). The company is planning to open 10 new restaurants next year and further 20 within the next three years. With a view to reach these goals, Bon Appetit found it suitable to buy the El Morito chain of 12 Mexican-style restaurants, however this idea met quite a great deal of criticism and it is just going to be negotiated.

Company’s performance
In the attached materials one can get familiarized with a diachronic diagram, comparing the progress of 3 companies (Bon Appetit, The Seashell and Innovia Cafes) in 3-years time in terms of turnover and pre-tax profit. As it becomes clear, the turnover of all three companies grew considerably: in Bon Appetit it boosted from 4 million pounds 3 years ago to 10,5 million 2 years ago and to 17 million during the last 12 months; The Seashell’s turnover increased from 3,5 million pounds 3 years ago up to 6 million 2 years ago and to 10,5 million last year; for Innovia Cafes the figures are correspondingly from 4 million 2 years ago to 10,5 million in the last 12 months. The data shows that the growth rate in turnover is really high. Concerning pre-tax profit, Bon Appetit branch also acted perfectly – 3 years

    Initial Assessment: An initial look at the ratio analysis reveals that the annual sales-growth rate has been holding around 15%. This is perhaps the only good news from the analysis. A performance discontinuity makes its appearance in FY 2000 as a drop in operating margin. This was a result of a 21% increase in production costs and expenses and a 20% increase in admin and selling expenses. There was also an inexplicable 95% increase in inventory. This jump in inventory and operating expenses appears to have been financed through debt, as the debt/equity and debt/total capital ratios increased during this period. Since the sales growth rate has held steady, there has been…

    Sales: It is assumed that sales turnover will continue to grow at a rate of 11% every year. This figure is the historical average of growth (change) in the last 3 years and reiterates Patrick Gournay’s plans to increase sales. It is unlikely that the firm will be able to achieve 20% growth again as the firm has reached its ‘maturity phase’ in the business cycle (further discussed in 3).…
