Specialists winning with tailored propositions

Focus:

  • Heavy civils and drainage products
  • Larger customers

Model:

  • Less than 10% collected by customers
  • 90% of sales delivered

Adapt branch network strategy to fit business model

  • Convenient location not the main customer driver
  • Operate from fewer branches with broader reach
  • Low cost branches in low cost locations

high-quality service

IT - further simplification possible

  • Current merchanting

IT platform is over 35 years old

  • Covers major

merchant brands (and Wickes financials)

  • Stable - but complex

infrastructure

  • Redesign required for

future proofing

  • Separation of P&H and

Wickes systems changes scope of IT programme

  • Opportunity to redesign

IT ‘eco-system’ in parallel with separation activities

  • Decision taken to delay

first deployment

  • Revised scope allows

improvements to overall environment

  • Enables access to lower

future operating costs

Slide extracted from Capital Markets Update presentation - December 2018

slide-26
SLIDE 26

2019 Interim results July 2019 26

Merchant systems - what it means for the future?

  • Overall plan likely to take longer than previously signalled
  • Cash impact not materially different given expected lower operating costs
  • Continue to operate existing transactional system for now
  • Embarking on modernisation of the overall systems environment to improve

performance and resilience

  • Reduce the number of customer-facing and back office applications
  • Streamline processes to enable faster, data-driven decision making
  • Smaller programme scope - investigating lower risk modular deployment of

core transactional and stock systems
