Meet Ari…Ari is a sandwich lover trying to start his own Deli • I need furniture for my store • I need point of sale systems • I need computers, websites… “I make great sandwiches, not business purchases!”
Meet Anne…Anne aspires to become the next Coco Chanel • I need design tools • I need books on newest fashion trends • I need a website that I can sell my clothes on “I know fashion, not technology!”
Anne and Ari are not alone… • There are 22 million small business owners in the US that represent $218 billion in annual spending. • They cover various industries and demographics • They share similar pains running businesses: • Tight on cash • Not enough time • Lack of technology expertise So we thought why not create a dedicated program to reduce some of the pains so they can focus on what they do best.

Amazon Entrepreneur: Risks • We believe that our AWS, Amazon Prime and Office Supplies segments will suffer some revenue erosion from the roll-out of the new Amazon Entrepreneur: AWS - 0.01% Decreases Prime - 0.30% Decreases Overall, the indirect revenue impact on other lines of business should not be significant. Office Supplies < - 0.01% Decreases Other Retail > 0.20% Increases
Amazon Entrepreneur: Program CostCost decreases dramatically after the first year Key assumptions Marketing spend is composed of On-going Marketing Expense (estimated at 3.7% of revenue as per 10-k), plus additional advertising expense associated with the new program ($25M, mostly in cable TV and internet advertising). It also contains an additional $6M allowance for business development costs. Technology & content is estimated at 9% of revenues (vs. 7.5% for all of Amazon).
Amazon Entrepreneur: Revenue Projection 5 yearbenchmark
Amazon Entrepreneur: Profit Projection Key assumptions We have taken future AMZN revenue and EBITDA projections done by Morgan Stanley. We have assumed an uptick from current levels of Technology & Content expense from 7.5% of sales to 10% of sales. We have assumed $19M in business development & initial marketing spend on year 1, $9M on year 2 and $3M on year three. COGS and fulfillment costs are assumed to maintain current levels as a percentage of retail segment revenues. All estimates include erosion of current AWS and Amazon Prime account revenues.
