1 Deep Dive: Private Label in US Grocery Five Drivers of Growth Private-label goods capture a minority share of the US grocery market, but there are five specific factors that could boost sales of these products: 1) Rising food-price inflation may prompt American shoppers to trade down from branded grocery products. 2) Expansion of grocery discounters Aldi and Lidl in the US could fuel competition in private label. 3) Amazon s acquisition of Whole Foods Market could jumpstart Amazon s grocery private-label offering. 4) Retailers could capitalize on heightened consumer demand for more fresh, organic and natural foods. 5) Private labels could capture growth in the meal-kit market. Kroger and Albertsons are two grocery retailers that are already tapping this category. Deborah Weinswig Managing Director FGRT deborahweinswig@fung1937.com US: HK: CN:

3 Private label s share of grocery sales is much lower in the US than in comparable markets such as the UK, Germany and France. Executive Summary In US grocery stores, retailers private labels capture only a minority share of total grocery spending. Last year, private-label products accounted for just 14.5% of all US spending on consumer packaged goods (CPGs), according to research firm IRI. This equated to $115 billion of private-label CPG sales in the channels IRI tracked in Private label s share of grocery sales is also much lower in the US than in comparable markets such as the UK, Germany and France. We see three reasons for this: 1. The presence of grocery discounters pushes up private label s share of the total grocery market and the US has a very small discounter segment relative to comparable markets. 2. The US grocery market is unusually fragmented, and fragmentation inhibits the development of sophisticated, tiered and innovative private-label ranges. 3. Walmart is by far the grocery leader in the US, and is positioned as a house of brands. This positioning is partly due to the fact that the retailer originated as a general merchandiser rather than as a food retailer. We also see five tailwinds for grocery private-label growth in the US: 1. Rising food-price inflation in Private label performs more strongly in an inflationary environment because price increases tempt shoppers to trade down from branded products. 2. Expansion of grocery discounters. Aldi is growing its US store numbers and Lidl has just entered the US market. Both are overwhelmingly private-label retailers. Their growth could lead to total US discounter private-label sales (grocery and nongrocery) of around $37.7 billion in Amazon-Whole Foods synergies. We expect to see the Whole Foods Market acquisition jump-start Amazon s grocery private-label offering. 4. Heightened consumer demand for more fresh, organic and natural foods. This demand can serve as a springboard for private-label growth, because private-label market share already overindexes in fresh food categories. 5. Meal-kit market growth. Grocery retailers expertise in offering a very wide range of private-label food products across fresh and ambient categories means they are uniquely well positioned to capitalize on the meal-kit trend. 3
4 Introduction: Private Labels in US Grocery Private labels allow shoppers to enjoy lower prices and retailers to enjoy fatter margins. They are a win-win offering unless you happen to be a brand owner that is losing sales to retailers own labels. Despite their appeal, private labels make up only a minor share of the average grocery shopping basket in the US. In this report, we look at the scale of the private-label segment in US grocery, discuss three reasons private-label penetration rates are relatively low in the US and outline five drivers for growth in grocery private label. Source: istockphoto Last year, approximately one dollar in seven spent on groceries in the US was spent on private-label products. Private Labels Capture Just One Dollar in Seven Spent on Groceries Americans will spend around $1 trillion on food, beverages and other grocery products this year. A large majority of that spending will flow to brand owners large and small. Last year, private-label products accounted for just 14.5% or approximately one dollar in seven spent on CPGs in the US, according to research firm IRI. This equated to $115 billion of private-label CPG sales in 2016, based on IRI s total coverage universe, which includes most food store chains, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, dollar stores and drugstore chains, but excludes some chains and smaller retailers. According to figures from the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA) and Nielsen, 2016 sales of private-label goods across all categories (including nongrocery) totaled: $60.2 billion by supermarket retailers $49.6 billion by mass merchants, warehouse clubs and dollar stores $8.3 billion by drugstore chains Across these types of stores in total, private label captured 17.5% of value sales and 21% of unit sales in 2016, according to the PLMA and Nielsen. 4

CPGs data are for sales at tracked multioutlet and convenience stores, which totaled $795 billion in the 12 months ended September 22, Source: PLMA/Nielsen/IRI Retailers that have built highly successful private-label ranges comfortably exceed these industry averages. Two examples are Costco and Kroger. Costco s Kirkland Signature private label makes up about one-quarter of total company sales, per management statements. By value, Kroger sees private label capture a similar share, as shown below. Figure 2.

France and the UK have grocery sectors that, like the US, are focused on large supermarkets and hypermarkets, yet private labels account for much higher shares of CPG sales in those countries.

Source: IRI/Kantar Worldpanel The presence of grocery discounters such as Aldi and Lidl has a meaningful impact on private label s share of a country s overall grocery market. Three Reasons Private Label Captures Such a Small Share of Grocery Sales in the US 1. Private Label s Share Is Distorted by Grocery Discounters The presence of grocery discounters such as Aldi and Lidl has a meaningful impact on private label s share of a country s overall grocery market. Compared with a number of European countries, such as Germany, the UK and France, the US has a minor hard discount sector. Aldi had just a 1.3% market share in the US in 2016, per Euromonitor International, and Lidl entered the US market only in the summer of This relatively small presence of hard discounters depresses private label s share of the overall market in the US. However, once grocery discounters are stripped out, the major European economies see relatively similar levels of private-label share as the US does, at around one-quarter of CPG sales. 6

Private-Label Development Reflects Sector Concentration The grocery sector is unusually fragmented in the US, with only two retailers enjoying double-digit market share. Walmart is by far the market leader in US grocery, with a 26% share in 2016, according to Euromonitor. Its closest competitor, Kroger, had a 10% share last year. This fragmentation limits the potential for tiered, innovative and well-known private labels that convince shoppers to switch from branded goods. In other markets, retailers with a very substantial market share have used their scale to develop sophisticated, tiered private-label ranges. Figure 5.

9 Market leader Walmart s longstanding positioning is as a house of brands. 3. Walmart Is a House of Brands Market leader Walmart s long-standing strategy to be first and foremost a house of brands appears to have limited private-label development in the US market. The company s origins as a general merchandiser, rather than as a food retailer, naturally led to its more brand-focused positioning relative to many competitors in the grocery sector. Source: istockphotos David Cheesewright, President and CEO of Walmart International, said in a June 2016 earnings call: [I]f you started life as a food retailer, you view private label as the place you start, and brand is the thing that you only sell if you can t create a proper private label. Because if a sign says we save people money, then why would you want to sell something that costs more for the same quality? If you start in general merchandise, I think you tend to view things as a house of brands. However, on an April 2015 earnings call, Walmart management said that it was the largest private-label player in the US. Five Potential Drivers of Grocery Private-Label Growth Private label is not a fast-growing segment in US grocery: in fact, in 2016, private label lost share of total US CPG sales, according to IRI. However, we see several tailwinds to growth, including the expansion of grocery discounters, innovation from Amazon and Whole Foods Market, and the popularity of meal kits. Private label performs more strongly in an inflationary environment because price increases tempt shoppers to trade down from branded products. 1. Rising Food-Price Inflation Private label performs more strongly in an inflationary environment because price increases tempt shoppers to trade down from branded products. We think the very weak food-price inflation and sporadic deflation seen in the US in 2016 was a principal reason behind the abovementioned weakness in private-label CPG sales last year. 9
10 In 2017, food and beverage price inflation has strengthened each month, climbing from deflation of 0.1% in January to inflation of 1.1% in August (latest), according to S&P Capital IQ and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Below, we chart the relationship between consumer prices inflation in food and beverages and the performance of private label relative to total grocery sales, according to IRI. The higher food-price inflation seen so far this year suggests improved private-label growth and any further uptick in prices would likely benefit private labels. Figure 7. US: Grocery Private-Label Performance Relative to Total CPG Market vs. Consumer Prices Inflation in Food and Beverages 3.0% Food and Beverage Inflahon 2.5% 2.0% 1.5% 1.0% 0.5% Private Label Outpaces Market Private Label Keeps Pace with Market Private Label Underpaces Market Private Label Keeps Pace with Market? 0.0% YtD* *Through August 31, 2017 Source: S&P Capital IQ/IRI/FGRT Around 90% of Lidl s US product offering is private label. 2. Grocery Discounters Set to Grow Rapidly Germany s Aldi and Lidl are set to grow their presence in the US market, which will boost total US private-label sales and likely spur some established rivals to strengthen their own private-label offerings. Around 90% of Lidl s US product offering is private label, a company spokesman said in June 2017, and a similar proportion of Aldi s US ranges are reported to be ownbrand goods. Lidl opened its first batch of US stores in mid-june The company had stated earlier that it intended to open 20 stores in the US over the summer across three eastern states: North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. When we checked the Lidl website on August 23, it said that the company was operating 22 stores in the US. We estimate that Lidl will grow its US presence to approximately 300 stores by the end of 2020 and generate almost $4 billion in US sales in that year. 10
11 Source: istockphotos Rival German discounter Aldi has been in the US for 40 years, but is now accelerating its expansion program. In June 2017, the company announced that it would invest $3.4 billion to grow its US store count from 1,600 to 2,500 by Aldi s US sales stood at $13.1 billion in 2016, according to Euromonitor, while rival Trader Joe s turned over $13.4 billion. If Aldi and Trader Joe s continue to grow revenues at the same pace as they did from 2011 through 2016 (per Euromonitor), they will generate sales of $19.5 billion and $18.6 billion, respectively, in Those sales, combined with Lidl s estimated sales, suggest total US hard discounter sales of $41.9 billion in With private label accounting for approximately 90% of sales at these hard discounters, total private-label sales (including nongrocery sales) through discounters US stores could potentially reach $37.7 billion in This potential boost to private label is only the direct impact. There may also be indirect impacts as competition from Aldi and Lidl prompts established grocery retailers to overhaul their own private-label offerings. 11
12 We expect to see the Whole Foods Market acquisition jumpstart Amazon s grocery privatelabel offering. 3. Amazon and Whole Foods: New Channels and New Products We expect to see the Whole Foods Market acquisition jump-start Amazon s grocery private-label offering. In August, Amazon announced that it would make Whole Foods private labels, including its 365 Everyday Value and eponymous Whole Foods Market labels, available for purchase on Amazon.com. By late September, many Whole Foods private-label products were offered to those shoppers able to purchase from the AmazonFresh service or through Amazon Prime. Source: Amazon.com We expect to see the Whole Foods acquisition provide a particular boost to the fresh food ranges available through the AmazonFresh delivery service, as private label tends to overindex in fresh food categories. Amazon also has the option to extend its own private-label grocery offering. Its still-small Wickedly Prime grocery range numbered just a few dozen products when we checked in late September. Amazon featured Wickedly Prime products prominently during its July 2017 Prime Day event. Other Internet-only retailers are pushing into private-label groceries, too. In late September 2017, Walmart-owned Jet.com announced that it would be launching a new private label, Uniquely J, across a range of nonperishable items such as laundry detergent, coffee and olive oil. 4. Demand for Fresh, Organic and Natural Foods Grocery retailers are seeing a steady, incremental consumer shift toward fresh, organic and natural foods and away from packaged, processed products. This is a trend we have discussed at length in several previous reports focusing on, respectively, millennials grocery shopping behavior, growing consumer demand for healthier foods and major food companies responses to consumers shifting grocery preferences. According to the Organic Trade Association, US organic food sales jumped by 8.4% in US organic food sales jumped by 8.4% in 2016, according to the Organic Trade Association. This compared with a 1.8% increase in total food and drink spending in 2016, per the US Bureau of Economic Analysis. The Organic Trade Association said that this strong performance led to organics accounting for more than 5% of total food sales in the US for the first time. Consumers shift to natural and organic foods can serve as a springboard for private-label growth. Private-label goods already overindex in terms of market share in fresh food categories, as we show below. Fruit and vegetables, fish, meat, and dairy products are typically commodity goods rather than brand-led categories, and this boosts private label s share of sales in those categories. 12
13 Source: istockphoto Figure 8. US: Private Label s Value Share, by Category, 2015 (%) Chilled and Fresh Food 31.1 Frozen Food Household Ambient Food Personal Care Nonalcoholic Beverages Pet Food Confechonery 3.3 Alcoholic Beverages 0.1 Source: IRI A number of retailers have led the way in developing natural or organic ranges. Aside from Whole Foods Market, Kroger is a prominent example: its Simple Truth range, which focuses on natural and organic products, racked up sales of $1.7 billion in 2016, and Kroger states that it is the biggest natural and organic brand in the country by volume. We think the strength of private label in fresh foods gives retailers a naturally strong position from which to develop natural and organic ranges. Moreover, because the US grocery market is fragmented, the relatively few retailers that have substantial scale have the chance to run with the baton, and gain a head start on both brands and smaller retailers. 13
14 Grocery retailers have expertise in offering a very wide range of private-label food products across fresh and ambient categories, making them uniquely well positioned to capitalize on the meal-kit trend. 5. Riding the Meal-Kit Trend Meal kits are the trend du jour in grocery e-commerce and they are now moving into stores such as Kroger and Albertsons, too. Brands such as Blue Apron and Plated offer consumers all the ingredients they need in one kit to create selected meals. Whether consumer demand for these kits will remain robust over the medium is uncertain. We think the typically high prices of such meal kits, coupled with the growth of more conventional grocery e- commerce in the US market, could depress category performance. Source: Plated.com Nevertheless, there look to be near-term opportunities to tap this market. Grocery retailers have expertise in offering a very wide range of privatelabel food products across fresh and ambient categories, which means they are uniquely well positioned to capitalize on the meal-kit trend. Kroger launched its own range of meal kits under the Prep+Pared private label in May In September, Kroger announced that it was extending its Prep+Pared offering to more than 50 stores across two cities Cincinnati, OH, and Louisville, KY and its Ralphs supermarket chain. In September 2017, privately owned Albertsons announced its acquisition of meal-kit firm Plated. News site TechCrunch.com reported the deal to be worth between $175 million and $200 million. Amazon launched its Meal Kits range in July Blue Apron is the biggest non-private-label US meal-kit brand. We see barriers to entry for further entrants in the category, however, as successful businesses in the sector need experience in sourcing a wide range of foods from fresh meat to vegetables to prepared cooking sauces at scale. 14
15 Source: Blueapron.com Beyond meal kits, e-commerce provides further pockets of opportunity to boost private-label sales. Online retailers have more control over what shoppers see, and what they recommend to shoppers, than do offline retailers, as in-store shoppers are presented with aisles of competing products in physical stores. Retailers can use that power to push their own products and encourage their customers to switch from brands to private labels. Key Takeaways Retailers can take advantage of several tailwinds to boost private-label grocery sales: Higher inflation in food prices this year than last year. Consumer demand for more fresh, organic and natural options. The popularity of meal kits and consumers shift to e-commerce. 15
