Key External Factors
2.2 Juhayna Food Industries Direct Competitors
Competitive Forces, Identifying rival firms
Juhyna is well positioned in the local market supported by its long track
record, brand recognition and comprehensive product offerings.
Juhyna’s wide distribution network provides it with a competitive edge
compared to other players as it enables it to reach out for different market
segments in an efficient manner.
In the packaged milk segment, juhayna has a controlling market share, for
plain milk, market share stood at 69.0% at the end of 2009. the second
largest producer had a market share of 90% for flavoured milk, Juhayna’s
market share stood at 74.0% in 2009 to 11.0% for the second in line.
Market composition remained more or less stable over the past four years.
The increased competition can be detected by the modest decline in
Juhayna’s market since 2006. However, given the wide gap between
Juhayna and other dairy producers and the company’s competitive cost
and distribution advantages, it is unlikely that market ranking would alter
in the foreseeable future.
5/16/23 15
Key External Factors
In the Yogurt segment, Juhayna is well positioned the spoonable and
drinkable category, holding a market share of 31.0% and 86.0% in
2009, respectively. The company responded swiftly to fast growth in
the yoghurt market by introducing 46 SKUs including value added
products which gave strong boost to its market share.
In the Juice segment, local operators Beyati and Enjoy are the company’s
main rivals. Both local companies can potentially grow to become strong
competitors. Enjoy was recently acquired by Citadel Capital’s fully
integrated food subsidiary, Gozour.
Juhayna also faces stern competition from large multinational players
such as Danone and Lactalis. Both Companies have become increasingly
active in the Yoghurt segment in an effort to capitalize on the rapid
market growth and size. Danone’s success in capturing a market hare
followed an aggressive marketing campaign coupled with competitive
pricing strategy.

The herd is cleaned via an automated system to make sure they are clean before
milking, then air drying then to milking, which is also automated.
After finishing they clean the cows again for bacteria, and then the milk is taken
to 3 degrees fridges, then to storing towers , then to trucks. The trucks leave the
factory in 1 hour time, the trucks are cleaned before and after they are filled,
trucks go to another area to be pasteurized.
2.4.4 Quality Assurance and Controls:
Milk pasteurization through tubes heating up to 78 degrees to kill bacteria, then
the bottles are prepared and the expiry date is printed with a rate of 50,000
bottles per hour, filling takes 6 seconds per bottle, then the milk is checked again
and defected products are removed manually and good products are taken to
storage unit using a bar code system to store all the products, this system is fully
automated.
Also the R & D hardly checks products and check the juice tasting.
Then the products are taken to distribution center and then to distributers.

Juhayna continued to execute its five-year
strategy in 2020, which was originally drafted
two years ago to emphasize innovation,
performance, and reach. Despite the spread of
COVID-19, the company was able to move
forward with its plans for the year with minimal
interruption due to its teams’ excellent
mitigation of the virus’ impact on internal
operations.

Current Segments
Part and parcel of Juhayna’s progress strategy is presenting new product ranges
that fill market gaps and keep the company relevant to its increasingly health-
driven consumers. The release of the new Greek Yogurt range was among this
year’s highlights, as it outperformed its projections and secured Juhayna’s
positioning in this growing yogurt subsegment. 2020 also saw the company
further improve on its lactose-free milk, a unique addition to its range of
packaged dairy offerings, which increased the product’s availability, visibility,
and popularity.
Furthermore, and in continuation of the company’s branding revamp in 2020,
more of the company’s products received new packaging in 2020 to give all of
Juhayna’s ranges a cohesive look that is instantly recognizable wherever they
are sold. The revamp is expected to cover the company’s full range of products
by the end of 2021, and changes are advertised to consumers to promote and
popularize the new, contemporary look.

In line with its continuing cost optimization strategy, Juhayna
maintained low CAPEX spending in Our Strategy 2020 by not
exceeding the EGP 300 million mark, and focused its efforts on
maintenance and small additions in place of large
transformations. This notably benefited its performance this year,
especially amid its launch of a new product range, with all
improvements made requiring less to no spending on the
company’s part. Juhayna was also successful in renegotiating
financing agreements to reduce interest payments, and
successfully lowered its net debt from EGP 1.4 billion, recorded
by the end of 2019, to EGP 781 million by the end of 2020. The
company also took advantage of the Central Bank of Egypt’s “8%
loans for manufacturers” initiative, which further reduced its

opportunities with established businesses across high-growth
markets. The company aims to achieve this without incurring
significant investments in manufacturing and distribution
capacities on the back of its solid operational strengths, well-
established networks, and regularly growing banks of knowledge,
expertise, and innovative strategies. As the company’s
optimization strategies continue to prove successful in its current
areas of operations, it seeks to transport this know-how to newer
markets, thus establishing solid bases for its diversified range of
products to generate new revenue streams.

Action Plan
Juhayna’s future lies in a willingness to constantly grow,
experiment, and innovate.
As we began to vertically integrate our supply chain, we began to
identify more opportunities for integration that can transform
the concept of supply chain management.
As such, we began to implement some crucial upgrades
throughout this reporting cycle, which resulted in operational
and cost efficiencies, as well as stronger digital integration across
our facilities.
These upgrades included the following projects.

Action Plan
Caring for Egypt Material Issue:
• Rural Economies & Market Development
• Sustainable Sourcing
o With the traditional farming population aging and growing smaller, global and
national concerns continue to arise, putting Dairy Farming and Agribusiness at
risks.
o So today, the collective efforts of businesses of the Dairy Sector have become a
necessity for Rural Development and Food Security.
o Recognizing our role in proactively contributing to the National Sustainable
food system, Juhayna’s commitment extended to developing rural areas
through national farmers by establishing Juhayna Farms Network, which
includes all our supplying farms that have reached a total of 107 farms, all
operating under our Sustainable Farming Strategy “Kafa’a”, and building on the
knowledge, practices and standards that we have successfully established on
our farm Enma’.
o Kafa’a is the first of its kind strategy for Developing Egypt’s Dairy Farms and is
part of our Shared Value Strategy that fosters for our Business Performance and
our Sustainability Commitments.

Action Plan
Restoring Profitability and ROIC
In the wake of extreme inflationary pressures on the
company’s cost base, Juhayna took the strategic decision to
begin transferring cost hikes to the consumer through an
increase in prices across the board. Taking into account the
sensitive nature of the food sector, the company ensured the
process was gradual and as of year-end 2016 average prices
had increased by 35%. Management also notes that given the
somewhat inelastic demand for Juhayna’s products and the
lack of significantly cheaper substitutes for them in the market,
the company expects volumes to be relatively less affected
compared to other industry segments, and for it to continue
maintaining its market leading position

Maintaining Market Leadership
Juhayna has taken significant strides to ensure it maintains a leadership
position in the Egyptian market, a strategy it plans to sustain going forward.
Through the introduction of innovative SKUs and flavors to its product
lineup; a concerted effort to focus on our competitively-priced SKUs amid
consumers’ declining purchasing power; and through introducing new
products via our joint venture with ArJu — a collaboration that has seen
the company distribute Arla’s products allowing it to maximize utilization of
its strong distribution network — Juhayna is able to consistently stay ahead
of competition. The company has always maintained a strong brand equity
as ranked by global indices, a key pillar of its success over the years

Action Plan
Penetrating New Export Markets
By the end of 2016, Juhayna was preparing to begin ramping up exports with a
focus on African and neighbouring markets. To do this, the company realigned
its organizational structure and invested in its export department to help both
define and implement its export strategy
5/16/23 57
Action Plan
Localizing Raw Materials
Juhayna plans to continue to direct efforts toward sourcing its input products
locally and progressing in its backwards vertical integration program, which
saw the company establish its first fully-owned dairy farm in 2015 and expand
it to 4,000 cows. Juhayna’s farms are now producing 12% of the company’s
total daily raw milk needs. Having also began sourcing concentrates from
Egypt, Juhayna managed to lower foreign currency denominated COGS over
the year, with efforts already underway to bring it down even further
Focusing on Cash Flow Management
In an effort to streamline cash flow management, the company made the
strategic call to complete any ongoing projects and postpone new
investments, earmarking c.EGP 400 million for completion of its expansion
plan. Juhayna also managed to secure EGP 212 million in financing packages
from HSBC and QNB.

4. Integrating Strategies
4.1 Past & Current strategies
Juhayna pursued strategies are centered on building an integrated operation and
implemented vertical and horizontal expansion plans.
The existing business structure provides the company with presence across different
segments of the value chain starting with the supply of quality raw milk and fruits passing
through production and ending with distribution. The recent addition of farming to the
group’s operations was aimed at gaining control over the quality and supply of raw
materials. Owning a distribution fleet and network has the added benefit of optimizing
distribution costs and monitoring customer satisfaction. Going forward, the company
intends to replicate its business model in a number of regional markets.
Juhayna accomplished integration strategies that were designed to achieve three
objectives:
1. Backward integrations, including supply of raw milk, fruits and fruit concentrates
through owning and operating agricultural farms.
2. Horizontal and vertical integration through product and geographic expansion.
3. Forward integration where Juhayna delivers its products to end customers via its own
distribution network.

Backward Integration
Raw milk is the main input for dairy and yogurt, the two largest business segments for
the group, together, they generated 80.6% of consolidated revenues in 2009 .Dairy
products encompass milk, cheese and cream .One of the main risks in this industry is the
strong bargaining power of milk suppliers which can cause interruption to supply of raw
materials and quality inconsistency. Juhayna's strong market presence enables it ,to
some degree to minimize such risk through maintaining a good network of milk suppliers
with the appropriate quality standards .
Raw milk is close to 50.0% of total production cost thus securing supply of quality raw
milk has always been at the top of management's agenda. Besides working closely with
milk suppliers, the company ventured into farming in order to secure its raw milk
requirements from within the group.
In 2008 Juhayna bought an indirect 40.0% stake in Milks Dairy, a company that run a
state of the art dairy farm. Following the acquisitions, the group's animal headcount
reached 2,500 from 1,460 and the milk yield grew to 35 Kg per cow per annum from 30
kg per cow in 2008..

The investment is expected to have a positive impact on the quality of milk
supply, which is measured by the average bacterial count milliliter (TBC
thousand /ML). Currently the ratio of Juhayna,s raw milk input is 70.
Milks Dairy's ratio is at par with international standards at 50. The farm
presently provides the company with 7.0% of its raw milk requirements.
Management is intending to expand its farming operations to ultimately
achieve self-sufficiency in its raw milk requirements.
In its continuous effort to strengthen control over the production chain,
Juhayna built a concentrate production facility, Modern Concentrate Company,
to secure its need of fruit concentrates for the juice production operation
which generates 18.2 % of total revenues. In 2009, the company bought 10,000
acres of farm and land that it intends to use to grow a portion of its order to
produce concentrates.
Currently, nearly 76.0% of juice requirements are sourced in house and the
balance is sold to third parties.

The wide distribution coverage provides the company with direct interaction
with the different income and market segments. For example, in rural areas
Juhayna distributes brands targeted at low and middle income consumer, while
in urban areas it markets the more costly, high end products. Juhayna ,s
distribution network is comprehensive in terms of its geographic footprint
and customer categories which could be difficult to replicate by other
producers thus providing the company with a competitive edge:
Having a wide distribution network and own fleet enforces continuous brand
awareness and lowers marketing and distribution expanses,
Direct access to customers ensures that customer's services and satisfaction are
under the company's own supervision and is therefore note compromised in
addition to allowing it to monitor market trends and consumers' behavior,
More effective market penetration and customer reach,
Continuous tracking of replacement levels and sales volume
Management indicated that major supermarket chains and hypermarket, are
becoming the company’s fastest growing customer base. Accordingly, the
company's current sales strategy includes strengthening relationships with
major chains in order to grow market share further.
