Calculating return on NEA (RNEA) • RNEA is the rate of return on capital invested in enterprise activities • Calculated as: • RNEA=(EPAT/Sales) X (Sales/Avg.(NEA)) • Which Equals: • RNEA=EPM X EATO • Or profit generated by each dollar of sales times sales generated by each dollar of NEA
Foot Locker Sales Growth • Percent increase in sales year-to-year for past 3 years • Sales growth has been inconsistent due to change in consumer confidence after the recession
Industry Sales Growth Choose 8% growth as a relative industry average expectation
Foot Locker Calculation of Enterprise Profit Margin (EPM) • EPM=EPAT/Sales • EPM has consistently grown for past three years
Calculation of EPM from sales • EPM from sales excludes impairment charges, financial statement translation, and actuarial gains and losses because their future values cannot be predicted • No significant change from normal EPM Choose 7.5% in line with Foot Locker, Inc. and industry performance
Calculation of Enterprise Asset Turnover (EATO) • EATO=Sales/avg(NEA) • EATO increases consistently over the three years due to increasing sales and fairly stable NEA Choose 3.95 EATO for comparison due to expected slight increase in EATO
Assumptions • Sales Growth Rate: 8% • Enterprise profit margin (EPM): 7.5% • Enterprise asset turnover (EATO): 3.95
5-year forecasts for Sales, EPAT and NEA • Using assumptions on previous slide these forecasts were made for the next 5 years • Sales=8% growth from prior year • EPAT=Forecasted sales X 7.5% EPM assumption • NEA=Forecasted sales X 3.95 EATO assumption
Conclusions • Sales growth will stabilize around 8% due to the increased consumer confidence and increase in consumer disposable income • EPM will continue its modest growth due to increased demand in goods driving prices higher with limited cost increases for Foot Locker, inc. to acquire goods • EATO will increase because of increased sales with nominal increases in investment in enterprise assets due to possible store closings
