3. AW14 Lessons Learnt - Pans
Summary of data:
Sales:
- TY £9m cash sales (+2% vs LY £8.82m cash sales)
- Ave £ sales by sku £450k based on 20 week season
Margin:
- Intake margin 43%, £ margin £3.2m (total cost ex MD £4.3m)
- CRS margin 38%, CRS £ margin £2.9m (total cost inc. MD £4.7m)
- Total markdown cost £375k
- Ave £ profit/sku £142.5k (inc. MD)
- Would want to work out CGM margin taking into account income and expenditure of department to get to actual profit achieved.
Stock:
- Based on closing stock £ and 20 week season for AW14 130.0 weeks cover
Key lessons learnt:
• Key profit driver for category: Pans & Tableware subgroups account for 56% £ sales mix, 59% £ profit mix only 25% option mix - Pans has the highest ave. profit /sku.
• Overperforming vs option count: Pans delivered 33% category £ sales mix, 30% of the profit mix with only 11% of the option mix. Need to reduce option count on low
return areas (Candles/Kids Bedding/Kids Furniture) redistribute to Pans/Tableware/Storage to deliver more profit, butmaintain strong customer offer across
categories.
• Growth area: +2% YOY - other areas in decline such as Kids Bedding (could be space or distribution change impact).
• Need to improve margin to deliver more profit: when compare to Tableware £ sales and profit mix should be delivering more.
• Review RSPs/negotiate costs: markdown % total cost relatively low - need to review cost prices by line and check retail prices are in line with market.
• Reduce closing stock: 130.0 weeks cover too high – need to understand if this is continuity stock or disc CAYG which will effect next season’s CRS margin.
More information required to understand if the BTA has been met – high closing stock could suggest that the area has missed forecast that has been bought to, however
this could be continuity stock rolling into the next season or major launch SS15 building stocks.
