INDUSTRY OVERVIEWSlide4

Heavy undervaluation compared to peers

SOURCE:CapitalIQ

, Annual report BKE, Deutsche bank equity research

Clean balance sheet with strong asset base for collateral

BKE has historically never had debt on its balance sheet increasing the possibility of acquiring cheap debt when leveraged.

The average cost of debt of peers is approximately 5%; fairly low.

BKE has 468 stores that can be used as collateral for debt as they are owned and not leased.

Consistent free cash flow generation

Strong factors supporting FCF generation

Historic FCF generation demonstrates consistency

FCF generation:

BKE derives approximately 42% of its sales from its denims line. This fashion style is timeless and is difficult to differentiate oneself in, therefore keeping CF consistent.

Compared to close competitors American Eagle (AEO), Abercrombie (ANF), and Gap (GPS), BKE must close at least 9 stores to match the closure rate of its peers. This will increase free cash flow to be allocated in more growth areas or be used to draw down debt during the buyout.

9.4% of sales were online compared to peers ANG and AEO at 23.9%, 18.5% respectively. The opportunity to increase online sales can be done by implementing buy online pick-up in-store (BOPIS) and the new electronic loyalty program this

year

Opportunities to cut costs:

EBIT margins struggling, the opportunity to cut costs through headcount reductions is possible as payroll increases prove to be a problem. EBIT margins peaked at 23% and lie at 22%.
