Store Productivity & Leverage
Higher Store Productivity = lower rent expense as a % of sales Potential for structurally higher EBIT margin

Rent Expense as % of sales ↓ when sales per square foot ↑

Rent Expense as % of sales ↑ when sales per square foot ↓


Print

Higher store productivity = contingent rent kicks in which changes rent from a fixed to variable expense (diminishing leverage)

Retailers can continue to leverage other components of


occupancy that remain fixed

What Constitutes Occupancy?


Minimum rent expense allowed under lease
Additional contingent rent
Common area maintenance charge
Store depreciation
Real estate tax

VALUATION METHODOLOGY AND RISKS

Valuation Methodology

Broadlines:
Our valuation methodology is primarily based on Price-to-Earnings (P/E), supplemented by, in some cases, Enterprise
Value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) and Price-to-Free Cash Flow (P/FCF) ratios and DCF analysis. We may also use Enterprise
Value to Revenue (EV/Revs) for companies operating at depressed levels of profitability. In some cases we use
probability-weighed, scenario-based decision trees as a basis for devising our price targets. We incorporate the
company’s and its peers’ historical and current valuation multiples, as well as our analysis of future growth rates,
company-specific risks, return on invested capital, and other inputs from our research when devising our valuation
multiples and the probabilities we assign to different scenarios when developing our price targets.
We make investment recommendations on certain early stage, pre-revenue companies based upon an assessment of
their business model, technology, probability of market success, and the potential market opportunity, balanced by an
assessment of applicable risks. Such companies may not be assigned a price target.

Our valuation methodology is primarily based on Price-to-Earnings (P/E), followed by Enterprise Value to EBITDA (EV/
EBITDA), Price-to-Free Cash Flow (P/FCF) ratios, and DCF analysis. We may also use Enterprise Value to Revenue (EV/
Revs) for companies operating at depressed levels of profitability. In some cases we use probability weighed, scenario-
based decision trees as a basis for devising our price targets. We incorporate the company’s and its peers’ historical and
current valuation multiples, as well as our analysis of future growth rates, company-specific risks, return on invested
capital, and other inputs from our research when devising our valuation multiples and the probabilities we assign to
different scenarios when developing our price targets.
We make investment recommendations on certain early stage, pre-revenue companies based upon an assessment of
their business model, technology, probability of market success, and the potential market opportunity, balanced by an
assessment of applicable risks. Such companies may not be assigned a price target.
