Profitability Drivers: Gross Margin Drivers and Modeling
Retail vs. Cost Method of Accounting
Illustrative Example: Assume a retailer purchases 15 handbags from a supplier for $6 each. The initial markup of 2.3x yields a
retail price of $20. Assume 8 items are sold at full price. The remaining 7 items are marked down by 40% but only 4 are sold.
Total COGS $ 100.00 Cost Complement + Charge to COGS Beginning Inventory $ 90.00
Gross Margin % 52% Less: COGS $ 72.00
Ending Inventory $ 18.00
Beginning Inventory $ 90.00 15 Total Items for Sale x $6 Invoice Price
Ending Inventory $ 10.80 3 Items unsold x $3.60 to account for cost after 40% markdown

• Lower prices
• Higher service and better

• Lower risk to both

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

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.
