JB Hi Fi Appoints New CEO; Reaffirms Guidance

CEO Terry Smart surprised by announcing his retirement effective August 2014 after four years at the helm. His successor is the current CFO, Richard Murray. Smart's departure represents a loss of experience, especially given that he's been with the company since the management-led buyout in 2000. However, Richard Murray is well-credentialed, and experienced, having been CFO for more than 10 years. We don't expect major changes to the current strategy, given that Murray is an internal appointment, and has held a board seat since 2012.
