India Overview Outlet Share Market Share Market Effectiveness

As of May 2016, all three government companies 50.00 4.5
continue to hold the majority of outlet and 45.00 4.0
market share with a total combined outlet share 40.00 3.5
of 93.6%. Indian Oil and Hindustan Petroleum 35.00 3.0
have outlet shares of 44% and 24% respectively, 30.00 2.5
with similar market shares and a Market 25.00 2.0
Effectiveness of ~1. Bharat Petroleum is 20.00 1.5
performing better with a Market Effectiveness of 15.00 1.0
1.2. 10.00 0.5
0.0
Private companies Reliance and Essar are shown 5.00
to be outperformed by the big three, however in 0.00
reality when taking growth into account this is not
the case.

Fuel demand is growing year on year, partly driven by vehicle sales:

As a result, a 14% increase has been seen for petrol and 6% diesel. Although demand is increasing,
government led fuel retailers in India are growing at less than market rate. Private companies are
clearly noted to be benefiting the most:

In Petrol sales, 2 Govt. companies grew at < market rate (14%)
• Reliance grew volume @ >10 x market rate (due to sites coming on-line)
• Essar grew volume @ 3 x market rate

In Diesel sales, All Govt. companies grew at < market rate (6%)
• Reliance grew volume @ 200 x market rate
• Essar grew volume @ 40 x market rate
• Shell grew volume @ 50 x market rate

Market Share Analysis

Kalibrate collects detailed information about the retail petroleum and convenience store industries.
This comprehensive information is summarized into insightful Market Share Intelligence reports that
can help you know more about your competitors, their volumes, their number of retail outlets, their
market share and how your network compares to theirs.

• Market Share % - This represents a brand’s total volume divided by the market total volume.
• Outlet Share % - This is computed by dividing the brand’s total number of open outlets by the

total number of open outlets in the entire market.
• Market Effectiveness - Market share percentage is divided by outlet share percentage to

derive this effectiveness ratio. Brands having effectiveness less than 1.0 are considered
ineffective marketers, while those with greater than 1.0 are considered very effective.

Benefits
• Most accurate information commercially available because it is collected via actual field visits
and then supplemented with actual sales data where available.
• Benchmark your network against others to understand your position in the marketplace.
• Know more about your competitors. Their number of outlets, market share and effectiveness.
• Incorporate into management reports and presentations.

Business impact
Businesses that utilise Market Share Intelligence reports have access to valuable information about
their competition enabling them to address one of the key petroleum retail value chain components –
their competition. Know how your brand performs versus your competition.
Petrol, Diesel, C-Store & Carwash models are available for selected markets worldwide.

Variable Scores & Analytical Volumes

Kalibrate variable scores and analytical volumes
can be used to clearly identify the strengths and
weaknesses of every site. As part of the model
build process, using the 100+ data elements
collected for each site during survey, variable
scores are assigned to demand, area, facilities,
brand, merchandising, price, operations and
traffic for each and every site in a particular
market. These variable scores are used to
compare the strengths and weaknesses of each
site.

Variable Scores

Brand A 116 104 92 147 77 162 171

Brand B 97 106 66 107 75 162 230

Brand C 50 110 67 112 68 159 169

0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000
Demand Area Traffic Facility Brand Acceptance Brand Concept Merchandising Price

Once the network planning model has benchmarked and assigned scores to each site based
on actual volumes, Analytical Volumes are calculated through an iterative calibration process
using variable scores. The calibrated model then understands, through the variable scores,
what is driving volume in each market and assigns analytical volumes to help explain the
strengths, weaknesses and opportunities at each site.

Performance Analysis

One of the most widely adopted and valued
analytics found with Kalibrate’s Network
Planning Solution is the Performance or
Quadrant Analysis.

Performance Analysis provides the insight you
need by categorizing your outlets into one of four
quadrants:

High Performance/Low Potential – These are High Performance/Low High Performance/High
outlets that have above average performance and Potential Potential
below average locations. They are vulnerable to Sites: 22 Sites: 108
competitive threats but will most likely be retained
because of their superior performance. Av. Site Volume: 1,732,000 Av. Site Volume: 1,951,000
% of network: 8% % of network: 39%
High Performance/High Potential – These are the % of volume: 11% % of volume: 56%
highly regarded, having above average sales and
locations.

Low Performance/Low Potential – These are poor Summarised
performing sites having below average sales and Performance Analysis

locations. The outlets falling into this quadrant are Low Performance/Low Low Performance/High
often reviewed for possible divestment. Potential Potential

Low Performance/High Potential – These outlets have Sites: 93 Sites: 55
below average volumes with above average locations. Av. Site Volume: 814,000 Av. Site Volume: 1,009,000
In some cases, it is possible to rebuild or make other
changes (i.e., change price, improve c-store etc.) to % of network: 33% % of network: 20%
% of volume: 19% % of volume: 14%

move these sites from this quadrant to the high performance/high potential quadrant.

Know which of your outlets are positioned for improvement opportunities.
• Identify divestment candidates that are in poor locations.
• Understand which of your outlets are vulnerable because they sit on inferior locations.
• Learn from your outlets that have high performance and high potential.

Petroleum retailers that have utilised the Performance Analysis graph and report have been able to
focus their effort and limited resources to identify the best outlets in their network for divesture,
investment, or operational strategy implementation.

challenges, and proposed strategic options in terms of investment, divestment and acquisitions to
achieve your company vision.

Market Entry and Growth Strategy:
 Which markets are the most attractive markets for me to enter?
 Which markets will provide the maximum growth/market penetration opportunity?
 What is the point of critical mass and saturation within each market?
 Where is there currently unsatisfied demand within my existing markets?

Performance Management:
 How and where do I increase the performance of my existing network and as a result the value
of my sites, to ensure a higher ROI in the future?
 What is the investment required to do this and the projected return?
 How am I performing against my competitors across the 7E in my current markets?
 What investment is needed to become the pacesetter in the market?

Investment/Divestment Strategy:
 How should I invest capital for highest returns? Open new outlets? Rebuild/remodel existing
outlets? Change offerings at the sites?
 Should I divest underperforming sites or invest to increase performance?
 Are there network/site acquisition opportunities in the markets that matter?

Kalibrate Strategy Group can assist clients answer their questions regarding the retail fuels and
convenience markets they currently operate in, or wish to operate in, through the development of a

Market Ranking

Markets are assessed and ranked across a wide geography e.g. globally, by continent or by country
based on the markets strengths and weaknesses. Markets are assessed in terms of their market
attractiveness and competitive position (MACP) using statistically relevant variables and weightings
that reflect the needs of the client e.g.

 Market size
 Market effectiveness
 Margin
 Competitive intensity
 Economic growth
 Risk
 Regulatory barriers
 Supply constraints

Models are customized to be unique proprietary models reflecting clients input and client’s data.
Markets are ranked from most attractive to least attractive assisting clients to allocate capital and
operating resources most effectively. Kalibrate will determine the exact scope and deliverables based
on the available data for the markets under evaluation.

7E Assessment

A 7E Assessment provides a strategic perspective that enables fuel retailers to evaluate sites across
the entire consumer experience. Assessing the 7 elements provides an evaluation site by site, and
market by market.

The strategic market plan will apply a 7E assessment to benchmark retail performance against
competition in a given market, overall and for each of 7 critical contributors to overall performance
(Location, Facility, Merchandising, Brand,
Operations, Market and Price).This will
provide a quantitative way to identify priority
areas for improving retail performance.

The 7E scores are then complemented by
scores based on a diagnostic interview
process. This interview process will evaluate
many aspects of fuel retail performance and
highlight areas requiring attention in existing
retail operations.

14

In-Depth Market Analysis

The strategic market plan will include an in-depth analysis on a market by market basis including:

 Understand retail fuel and convenience positioning vis-à-vis competitors - benchmark clients
against competitors to identify pacesetters in the market.

 Analyse competitor trends using historical data to assess competitor strategic
investment/divestment initiatives as well as to assess market and competitor growth rates and
market share movements over time.

 Identify ‘best in class’ operators within own and competitor networks for fuel, stores and food
offers.

 Analyse and benchmark convenience and food offers versus competitors and recommend
options for growth.

 Identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks within existing client and competitor
networks for fuel and stores.

 Identify growth areas for future retail participation in the market in both fuel and store offers -
both new to business opportunities and new to industry opportunities will be addressed.

 Establish the impact of fuel pricing on store performance and optimize this on an outlet by
outlet basis, using proprietary modelling techniques

 Understand convenience store and food offer market segmentation by assessing consumers’
stated and derived importance drivers when choosing where they go to fulfil their needs for
fuel, c-store and food service retail needs - segment the consumer base into behavioural
attributes and determine the likelihood
of selecting to store specific retail
formats and offers.

 Identify network strategies that extract
maximum value from existing retail
network across fuel and store.

 Estimate projected volume lift and
market share improvement resulting
from implementation of recommended
network optimisation.

 Provide strategic direction to
management on the scope and scale of
future retail capital and operational
resource allocations over a 5 year period.

 Recommend exit / de-capitalisation
outlets or entire markets.

The typical process followed in carrying out market analysis is as follows:

Conversion for possibilities - sites selected based
predominantly on high performance potential
Assuming an unconstrained environment,

Cost to Serve

In addition, the strategic market plan can include supply chain optimization and ‘cost to serve’
calculations for each client outlet, incorporating:

 A site by site analysis of ‘cost to serve’ covering each point of supply through the supply chain
to each client outlet.

 In addition an optimisation model will be run of current outlets’ fuel supply network, and the
most cost effective supply chain will be identified from each supply point.

 These will highlight supply capacities, constraints and site ordering patterns within the supply
chain network which generally lead to high and unsustainable logistics costs.

 It will identify inefficiencies and potential improvements in supply activities.
 A supply chain strategy will be recommended, where necessary, and specific tactics and

interventions which have shown to lead to significant supply chain cost savings will be
recommended.
 Finally, a supply chain dashboard will be prepared which will monitor the efficiency and cost
effectiveness of the supply chain post optimization.

16

Deliverables

Kalibrate will develop a Strategic Market Plan that is informed through a review of client’s current
market strategies, bottom-up micro-market modelling, stakeholder engagement and strategic
options analysis. This will include strategic options around execution of the plan. The final content
and format of the plan will be agreed with the client.

Based on the scope of the project as articulated above, we anticipate a Strategic Market Plan
document that will address the following:

 An analysis of client’s current market planning strategy and key challenges
 An overview of the competitive environment within markets and sub-markets
 A market segmentation recommendation or reaffirmation for fuel and convenience customers
 Recommendations for strategic options to be followed by client
 A synopsis of client’s supply and logistics position supporting its network of service stations

The deliverables will be prepared in draft and discussed with the client before finalization. Once
approved and finalized the deliverable will be handed over to the client. The client will be responsible
for the implementation of the recommendations. While we will use our best efforts to develop
recommendations that can be implemented successfully, we cannot be held accountable for the
successful outcome of the implementation thereof, as implementation is subject to a number of
variables outside of our control. Our deliverable will be prepared for your benefit, and may not be
shared with any third party without your prior written consent.

It is anticipated that iterative support will be required from the client through each step in the project,
ranging from project status meetings to on-site workshops. This will allow us to continually monitor
alignment with the project objective and deliverable timelines. Client responsibilities, to ensure a
successful outcome, include:

 Provision of access to any supporting data and information related to all of the markets
covered by this project

 Identification of and introduction to key stakeholders that the project team will need to
engage with during the development of the strategic market plan

 Stakeholders must be available for engagement with the project team when requested
 Sign-off of all outputs and deliverables within 5 business days of issue
 Client will provide facilities for meetings and workshops at its various geographical locations
