recommends
that Ralph
Lauren sells
itself to VF
Corp
Ralph
Lauren’s
integration
with VF Corp
results in a
stronger
manufacturing
base
RALPH LAUREN OVERVIEW
• The stock price has recently been
extremely volatile and dipped 32% in
the past three months
• Mr. Ralph Lauren stepped down in
September of 2015 and the company is
currently restructuring to reduce
operational expenses
• 52% of revenue is derived from retail
and 48% from wholesale, which is
increasing at a faster rate
CURRENT POSITIONING
• Sold merchandise through 433 retail
stores and 503 concession-based shop-
within-shops
• Overseas sales currently amount to
33.1% of revenue
• Strong US dollar has had a significant
negative impact on sales, but Ralph
Lauren still holds a strong portfolio of
global luxury lifestyle brands
STRATEGY ASSESSMENT
• Ralph Lauren can capitalize on VF
Corp’s existing network of
manufacturers to reduce operational
expenses
• Investor unease likely caused volatility
in stock valuation which will stabilize
through acquisition by VF Corp
• A strategic sale maximizes current
company position, secures long-term
shareholder value, and decreases
dependency on third-party suppliers
RECOMMENDATIONS
• To maximize shareholder value, we
recommend that Ralph Lauren pursue a
negotiated sale to VF Corp
• This approach will secure Ralph Lauren
stakeholders’ value, stabilize the
company, and provide more
opportunities for growth through
acquisition by a conglomerate with strong
management and operational expertise

Strategic Rationale Stock Performance
• LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton is one of the
world’s leading luxury goods conglomerates
• LVMH is involved in the manufacturing and sales of
wines, spirits, cosmetics, jewelry, fashion, and leather
products
• Worldwide, the company operates through a network of

• LVMH recently acquired Hermes, a French manufacturer
of luxury goods, for $5.2 billion
LVMH recently
acquired
Bulgari SpA in
2011 for about
$5.2 billion,
doubling the
size of their
jewelry unit
• LVMH has a large presence in European and Asian
markets, providing an excellent opportunity for Ralph
Lauren to increase its international sales, as 67% of Ralph
Lauren sales comes from the Americas
• Conglomerates provide diversified business operations,
which prevents significant reliance on a single supplier
• LVMH owns and operates much of their own
manufacturing, drastically reducing overhead costs and
providing control of the manufacturing process
• LVMH is highly focused in the luxury apparel industry
and has valuable expertise in this specific market
• The conglomerate’s substantial debt could lessen the
probability of an acquisition because they would not
want to increase their leverage Source: Bloomberg, MarketLine, Wall Street Journal
