Retail Institute, in cooperation with more than 120 shopping centers in Poland, prepares comprehensive analyses of footfall, turnover, OCR/affordability and service charges. RI Benchmarks have earned a reputation and recognition among company management boards, in particular asset managers, leasing directors, and marketing directors thanks to their reliability and timely delivery, use of highest data security standards, and implementation of a permanent monitoring of changes occurring in the market.

RI analyses take into consideration 3 basic criteria which affect evaluation of shopping center results, i.e.:

shopping center size

very small (< 5,000 sqm GLA)
small (5,000-19,999 sqm GLA)
medium (20,000 – 39,999 sqm GLA)
large and very large (> 40,000 sqm GLA)

location

The Institute compares performance of shopping centers based on their location (downtown and uptown centers).

format

Shopping center size, layout and visit patterns are closely linked to the offer of retail premises.


The Institute analyzes shopping centers by taking into account, whether customers choose a specific shopping center due to food operator offer (dominating) or fashion and services offer (non-dominating food operator).

Europe’s first market “Like For Like” analysis

Each period analyzed by Retail Institute (weekly, monthly, annual) is always based on the same number of shopping centers and business days. In case of footfall FF ReIndex, this allows us, among others, to minimize the so called calendar effect.


The Like for Like analysis is also a tool used to evaluate the impact of the Sunday trade ban on the retail sector results.

 

Comparison of shopping center results, broken down into:

  • 6 main regions of Poland
  • 12 city agglomerations
  • city types based on the number of inhabitants

In cooperation with companies holding a portfolio of more than 130 shopping centers, Retail Institute prepares weekly footfall benchmarks. Published once a week, such analyses have become a basic tool to assess consumer behavior on local markets, in cities and regions and in the entire country. FF ReIndex helps evaluate efficiency of marketing and sale-supporting activities and facilitates preparation of short and long-term strategies. Following the Sunday trade ban, in place as of 1 March 2018, Retail Institute is the only organization in Poland which has tools to analyze effect of the new regulation on retail results.

ABRIDGED REPORT

Companies which for various reasons cannot report results to Retail Institute may be granted access to so called Abridged Reports. Each last Friday of a month, RI publishes reports with monthly turnover from more than 130 shopping centers in Poland for:

  • all tenants of all shopping centers
  • 2 product categories selected by the Institute Partner (e.g. fashion – women, fashion – mixed)
  • format
  • analysis of selected categories in 6 regions of Poland

 

* The Report for the previous month is published on 28th-30th day of the next month.

AF ReIndex analyses are complementary to the TO ReIndex Report. The affordability index, also known as the OCR index, shows a ratio of costs incurred by the tenant, i.e. rents and service charges, to turnover generated on the shopping center premises. The ratio allows to determine business and commercial effectiveness of companies operating on shopping center premises in the most precise manner currently available.

More and more often, lease agreements for key tenants contain clauses setting out desired ratio of the costs, i.e. rents and service charges, to turnover. The AF parameter analysis offers a tool for both landlords and tenants to determine safe lease parameters and monitor conditions of specific product categories.

SUPPLEMENT TO REINDEX REPORT

AF ReIndex analyses are complementary to the TO ReIndex Report. The affordability index, also known as the OCR index, shows a ratio of costs incurred by the tenant, i.e. lease and service charges, to turnover generated on the shopping center premises. The ratio allows to determine business and commercial effectiveness of companies operating on shopping center premises in the most precise manner currently available.

The Institute prepares for implementation a new (forth) analysis of service charges. The first report is due to appear in June 2019, inclusive of settlements for 2018. The Council of Experts prepared a universal model which may be used by businesses to share actually incurred costs related to management.

The group was not that much challenged with drafting of universal cost centers allocated to a model budget, as with development of research methodology, determination of boundary conditions and assumptions necessary to prepare subsequent Retail Institute analyses which are reliable and contain comparative data.
