Economic Environment
Business Inventories

• Increasing inventory holdings among businesses
  in the US
• Yet Inventory-to-Sales ratio falling
• Conclude
• Increasing Sales levels have risen at an higher
  rate than the corresponding increases in
  inventory holdings.

  the retail industry. They generate 3.8 trillion
  in retail sales annually, approximately 11,690
  per capita, making the US retail sector one of
  the largest worldwide.

11
Economic Environment

• Energy Costs
• Increasing consumer energy prices (gasoline,
  home heating fuel, natural gas rates and
  electricity rates) considered a threat to the
  retailing industry, as disposable income is
  increasingly being consumed by such expenditures.
  
• Annual energy expenditures as a percentage of GDP
  has risen sharply since 2002 from approx. 6.5 to
  8.5. (Although forecasted to fall).

  counter-balanced by the substantial increases in
  the consumer debt-service levels over the past 10
  years.
• Minimum debt service burdens as a percentage of

• Trend-Line Forecast
• 9.5-10 trillion (2010)

14
Economic Environment

• Economic Forecast (Contd)
• Disposable income should rise at increasing rates
  
• If debt service-burdens continue to smooth out at
  the 13 range (as percentage of disposable
  income)
• And pending the forecasted fall in energy
  expenditures
• Then the American population will truly have
  higher levels of disposable income in the coming
  years. (Poses significant opportunities and for
  American businesses, and retailers specifically).

26
INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT Threat of Entry

• The high profitability and growth prospects of
  the industry have attracted new competitors
• Since the beginning of 1997, the consumption of
  equipment, footwear and clothing has been on a
  constant rise
• Upcoming online retail stores

Caution High failure rate - 2001- 46, and in
2002 - 45
27
INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT Threat of Entry
StartUp Resources

• Start-up capital for any sports retail chain, in
  order to compete effectively, would range from
  30 - 35 million dollars per store
• Lack experience and broad vision
• New startups do not have the technology or the
  systems infrastructure to compete
• Capital drifted away from marketing towards
  operations such as inventory, HR and overall cost
  containment.
• Obstacle as customer or investor confidence can
  only be assured when the store/chain performs to
  satisfaction and sales yield profitable results.
  

28
INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT Threat of Entry
Customer Loyalty

• For start-Ups revenue generated through
  first-time customers
• Mass retailers influence consumer confidence
  through low prices, developed is tremendous
  customer confidence and brand loyalty.
• Ensuring customer satisfaction, reward programs
  and paying attention to competition
• In response to price reductions, the new startups
  would then have to alter sales goals, decrease in
  advertising and promotional spending.
• This decrease in price would lower companys
  gross margins and negatively affect its operating
  margins.

29
INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT Threat of Entry
Relations with Suppliers

• Incongruent Goals
• Biased prices of goods sold
• Fluctuate prices in accordance to the risk
  associated - economic crisis, international
  disputes
• in prices directly on the retailer through
  increasing the cost of goods supplied.

30
INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT Threat of Entry
Government Legal Regulations

• Government Intervention to discourage startups of
  new business
• Subsidies to local corporations
• Quotas and tariffs on imports
• Patent and trademark infringment
• Ruling on opening new stores - Walmart

31
INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT Threat of Substitutes
Other Medium Factor

• Television Favorite pastime for children aged 2
  to 18. 61 denied having any limitation
• High End Video Games video games towards the
  late 90s had a tremendous impact on the outdoor
  life of an average person as it deprived them of
  outdoor physical activity
• Internet Spend available time either surfing or
  conversing

32
INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT Threat of Substitutes
Money Factor

• The U.S. economy thrives at employing part-time
  or full-time teenagers
• Over recent years many surveys were conducted in
  order to trace the amount of money spent on
  sporting goods by this age group
• Out of a possible 62 billion, only 5 billion
  was spent on sporting goods and other hobbies
• The teens spent 153 million of their own money
  in 2000 and influenced the parents or other
  family members to spend an additional 300
  million

33
INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT Threat of Substitutes
General Mentality

• Unhealthy lifestyle amongst children and adults
  is becoming increasingly overweight
• Inactivity, lack of motivation and lack of
  encouragement has resulted in the increase of 61
  of over-weight Americans over 18 between 1991 and
  1998
• The proof of such high consumption is an increase
  in the amount of fast food joints in recent
  years, which have grown by an average margin of
  50 over the past two decades

34
Power of Suppliers - Magnitude Rating 5

• Sporting goods retail is a brand-name driven
  business (retailers deal with some large powerful
  vendors)

  products based on brand recognition ? Vendor
  relationships important for retailers to maintain

35
Power of Suppliers - Magnitude Rating 5

• Power of Suppliers (Contd)
• But many smaller private label brands/vendors
  (Lowering overall power of Suppliers
• Examples Easton, Schutt, Fossil, Under Armour,
  K-Swiss, Mizuno, H B and Rawlings
• Price Takers - supplier market becomes
  fragmented - 1000s of suppliers
• Retailers strengthening their own private brands,
  (which as of 2004) account for 35 of all sports
  apparel spending.
• Has a substitute effect ( retailers competing
  with their own suppliers) effectively increasing
  the competition and weakening the power of
  suppliers.

• Issue
• Critical to sustain differentiation from
  competition
• Critical to improve market share and sustain
  growth
• Recommendation
• Cooperative Advertising
• Implementation of company slogan
• Expansion Focus and expansion of Sports and
  Co. Store formats

78
Business Strategy Issues/Recommendations

• Issue
• Distribution only one Distribution Center
• - Although 850 store-servicing capacity
• expansion not slowing
• Recommendation
• Current DC will operate at maximum within 4-6
  years

• -To alleviate operating pressures, and risk of
  down-time open a second DC in Texas nearing the
  end of fiscal 2007 (ended Jan-2007) or fiscal
  2008 (ended Jan-2008) to service expansion areas.
• As at that time Hibbett will be operating,
  630-660 stores (projected)
• Dual-DC system will allow more flexibility for
  expansion strategies

79
Business Strategy Issues/Recommendations

• Issue
• Customer Service
• Well-organized in-store service, yet no generic
  1-800 number on website, no generic email address
  made available (unacceptable for company of this
  size)
• Recommendation
• Enhance Customer Service
• Website overhaul to appear more professional, and
  to achieve
• E-commerce presence not recommended as
  distribution may not be cost effective
• Focus s/b placed on current bricks-and-mortar
  store growth
• Implement e-commerce presence only upon
  completion of expansion strategy (to potentially
  maximize profit margins).

80
Business Strategy Issues/Recommendations

• Issue
• Sales/Marketing
• ?Accurately tailoring sales/marketing strategies
  (in light of changing consumer tastes,
  demographics and behavior)
• ? Low Sales per Employee (Weakness)
• Recommendation
• 55 fitness enthusiasts 379 (2000) increase
  since 1987 (population with typically higher
  levels of disposable income)
• Product mix and promotional activities aimed at
  this market
• (may have adverse effect - younger customers)
• Possibility to create specialty area within
  stores catering to older consumers.
• Capture minorities (aim increased marketing )
• Particularly Hispanic population which has higher
  concentrations in the southern (forecasted 17 to
  25 of US pop by 2050)
• Generally spend less on sporting goods, but
  growth is opportunity!
• Attention to boxing, soccer, baseball
