Specialty Retail By Leah Constan-Tatos
Inventory Method • Inventories stated at lower of cost or market and reduced for inventory loss and obsolescence • Weighted average is used to determine the cost of inventory no adjustment • FIFO is used for inventory held within European countries
Inventory Methods used by other companies in the industry • Staples – Weighted Average • Amazon – FIFO • United Stationers – LIFO
Operating/Capital Leases • Retail stores • Facilities • Vehicles • Equipment • All operating leases are under fixed non-cancellable terms with at least one renewal option
Because operating leases exist for ODP…. • Rent expense is reported in the income statement under SG&A • EPAT is lower because rent is an enterprise expense • EATO is higher because NEA is lower (lease not reported on B/S) • Financial leverage is enhanced because liabilities aren’t reported on the B/S • Current RNEA appears higher without capitalization of the operating leases, which boosts the company’s ROE
“In the Money” Options: • Stock Price at year end - $5.29 • Has a large number of “in the money” ESO’s outstanding • 55% of exercisable shares are definitely “in the money” (range $5.14-$10.00 not taken into consideration)
ODP Historical Stock Prices 5.29 Avg. 4.38 3.46
