...European Equity Research UK – Food & Drugs Retailers Madrid, October 6, 2010 TESCO Better International Should Help Re-rating RECOMMENDATION UPGRADED TO BUY FROM HOLD TARGET PRICE RAISED TO GBP490 FROM GBP450 BUY CURRENT PRICE: GBP430 TARGET PRICE: GBP490 Jaime Vázquez (+34) 91 289 5436 javazquez@gruposantander.com Borja Olcese (34) 91 289 1853 fdolcese@gruposantander.com We upgrade Tesco from Hold to Buy and raise our Dec-11 TP from GBp450 to GBp490.

We believe LFL is the key driver of CROI and not scale via openings. With better LFLs, the ‘maturing effect’ looks more credible to us. In the four most mature countries, the CROI of the mature assets (>4 years) is 220bp higher than the CROI of all assets. US to break even in 2012E/13E: the improvement in LFLs and other underlying metrics show that the key components of a profitable model are coming together. The worsening of overall losses in 1H from US$132mn to US$143mn is explained by the adverse leverage from new space and the acquisition of two supplier factories (US$10-15mn loss). This is a highly operationally geared business and improving LFLs is therefore key. UK: we agree with management that LFLs (Tesco’s and the industry’s)...
