  2. OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS Bikes R Us provides high quality mountain bikes for an economical price of $535/bike 2013 Results Include: • Sales of Nearly: $8,700,000 • Almost 25,000 units sold • Costs of around 4,500,000 • Profits of close to 1,400,000 • Share Holder Value of $12.17 • Earnings Per Share: of $1.37 Overall the year has proved favourable with sales up almost 8% and profits up over 17% from 2012

  3. Pricing Analysis • Strong sales appear to be driven by price – Bikes R Us increased it’s sales 7.6% compared to the industry average of 2.4% • Prices have recently been undercut by SpinAway, resulting in their 13.6% sales increase • Market tends to be concentrated in higher range(average of $555)

  4. Awareness Analysis • Awareness increased 4.3% in 2013, just missing the industry average of 4.4% while falling far below the near 17% increase realized by SpinAway. No firms are close to target of 50%. • Spin Away’s high product awareness of 0.28 can be attributed to their $1.5 million advertising campaign and $400,000 branding strategy. • Although SpinAway sold roughly equal volume they failed to realize high profitability • A strong promotion strategy is clearly integral to high sales volume

  5. Branding Analysis • Bikes R Us pursued a modest branding campaign in 2013 spending and additional 20% to increase branding costs to $300,000 • With an industry average of $390,000 Bikes R Us spent less than SpinAway ($400,000) and Pro Bike Swag ($750,000) • Overall increasing branding had a relatively weak positive correlation to sales as those with low branding(Petal pushers/Firm4) sold less than those with high branding

  6. Public Relations Analysis • With an industry average of 18%, Bikes R Us falls considerably behind at 12% and also behind Spin Away at 14% • Mountain Bikes sales are extremely insensitive to increased PR. • Pro Bike Swag’s spending of $600,000 and Firm 4’s spending of $1 million on PR offer insights into future Road Bike Plans

  7. Distribution Analysis • High distribution rating relative to industry average of 0.23, while only failing to meet SpinAway by 0.01 with distribution rating up 24% from last year • High price firms - Petal Pushers and Firm 4 - chose to stay well below the recommended distribution level of 50% • High sales of the two firms is a result of the close negative correlation between low retailer margins and higher retail sale values

  8. Conclusions • Sales are up about 8% from last year, and profits are rising fairly steadily at a rate of 17-18% • Highest retail sales as a result of favourable retail margins and channel support of $280,000 which is above the industry average • To maximize potential profit we must continue to penetrate more retail outlets and marry push and pull strategies of marketing • Largest threat is SpinAway’s recent price action of undercutting our firm, although unreasonably high expenditures have made the firm relatively unprofitable
