Assumptions1) Revenue = $400 per square foot2) Revenue projected to grow at same rate as
Canadian retail market (Exhibit 5)3) SG&A is grown at the same rate as revenue4) NWC assumed to be two months worth of
sales (Tab H)5) Assumed to operate for 5 year and WC
liquidated at end 6) Terminal loss on the remaining balance of
UCC claimed at the end of year 5.7) Assumed to operate for 5 years. Renewal
options will be considered at future date.8) No additional capital expenditures after the
store is opened
Bringing Saks to Canada
• In 2016, there was a significant cash flow requirement of $15.1 million
• For years 2015-2017 the total cash flow requirement will be $24.6 million
• However, the payback period was short • By 2018, there will be a positive cash flow of $29.9
M which means that the investment in Saks will pay back starting 2018

Bring Saks to Canada
Pros:
• Creates job opportunities for Canadians• Saks OFF 5th will be phased into Canada as well• Management considers it “very low risk”• Saks has strong online presence - returns/exchanges
will be easier• Will launch saks.ca and saksoff5th.ca• Pusateri food halls adds additional value• HBC has experience with Saks U.S.
Bring Saks to Canada
Cons:• Will not succeed unless they can meet expectations• Only 2 out of 7 locations decided• May need to hire Saks Canada President
• Potential conflicts amongst Presidents
Bring Saks to CanadaConclusions:• Secure short-term financing rather than long term
financing• If HBC decides to continue to operate the Saks stores
beyond the first 5 years, they can use the cash flow generated from the 6 stores to finance capital expenditures in the Queen Street store (first store that opened)
• Find locations for the other 5 stores• Look into hiring Saks Canada president
Off-Price Business
• No analysis required• Goal: steal market share at 0.5% to 1.5% per year for
years 2014 to 2018• Re-evaluate the option in 2018
Growth of Top 10 DoorsPros:• Heightens customer experience and intimacy• Captures more in-store sales• Potentially leads to higher sales and contribution
margins in other stores
Cons:• Additional capital investment• May not actually lead to higher sales and
contribution margins in other stores
Growth of Top 10 Doors
Conclusions
Worthwhile initiative:• Other retailers employing similar tactics• Aligned with HBC’s strategy and vision• Results in additional sales and greater customer
satisfaction regardless
Potential Acquisition
Major Assumptions:• Forecast for 5 years• Excluded Holt Renfrew’s expansion plans• Assumed rate of YoY growth in sales remains at
3% for 2019• $810/sq ft to forecast revenue (based on 2013)• Net profit margin estimates based on Saks build
out forecast• Discount rate: 8%
Potential Acquisition
Methodology:• Grow 2013 HR revenue using YoY Canadian
retail apparel growth rates• Apply TEV/Revenue multiple of 1.0x • Project revenue based on square feet of existing
locations and $810/sq ft• Grow revenue using YoY Canadian retail apparel
growth rates• Apply estimate of net profit margin based on
Saks rollout forecasts • Discount net income

Potential AcquisitionPros:• Assists HBC’s penetration of luxury retail market• High compatibility with HBC’s vision and culture• hr2 → Off-price market share• Strategic location of existing stores• Immediate impact to revenue
Cons:• Existing locations in close proximity to planned Saks stores• Cannibalization of profits• Brands are in direct competition
Potential AcquisitionConclusion:
Not a good investment:• Negative NPV/Unprofitable• Ownership of two brands directly competing with one another• Proximity of store locations to planned Saks locations• Potential for severe internal friction
Measuring Build Out Option:• Sensitivity analysis suggests that the build option is at least
better than acquiring Holt Renfrew assuming they even
possess a net profit margin of 30%
