  9. Product Life Cycle AE M+O

  10. Martin + Osa - Challenges • Very challenging demographic: • Different Tastes • Different Incomes • Already proven difficult for Abercrombie and GAP • Increasing Competition • Abercrombie- Ruehl • GAP- Forth and Towne • Polo- Rugby • Aeropostale- Jimmy’Z • J Crew • Banana Republic

  11. Ruehl by ANF • Failing entry into the 25-35 y.o. niche market • Already adjusting their strategy • Possibly falling into Gap’s blunders • Same products, different price tag • Can AE avoid this pitfall?

  12. Aerie by American Eagle • Focuses on bras, panties, and casual dormwear for girls and young women. • “Take girls from the dorm room to the coffee shop.” • Will incorporate the Aerie brand in existing stores through renovations to create a “store within a store.” • Also plan on constructing side-by-side and free-standing stores with about 900-1000 sq. feet per store • Short-term goal

  13. More Expansion • Many online sales going to Japan • AE is considering forming a partnership with an established Japanese retailer • 80-100 Stores • AE International • 530,000 sq foot increase in Kansas distribution center (est. $55M)

  14. AE Stock Prospects

  15. Cyclical Nature of Industry

  18. Sensitivity Analysis

  19. Summary • Martin + Osa Uncertainty • Does Market Exist? • Other Ventures: • Aerie Intimate Brand • AE International • COGS Sensitivity • Forecasting Trends and Inventory • Can CAPEX Increases Drive More Sales?

  20. Recommendation • Final Recommendation: HOLD all 1700 shares • Too early to determine the impact of Martin + Osa, Aerie, and AE International on sales • Projects have the potential to become huge growth opportunities and profit drivers in the future • Share price was slightly overvalued using DCF Model and fairly priced using EPS Approach but both techniques did not account for potential sales growth due expansion activities but did take into account increased capital expenditures
