- Advertisement - Pear Bureau Northwest names Publix Pear Retailer of the Year October 14, 2014 Pear Bureau Northwest, a nonprofit marketing organization that represents the 1,600 fresh pear growers of Oregon and Washington, has named Publix as the 2014 Pear Retailer of the Year for its outstanding pear merchandising activities. Publix is being recognized with this award due to its successful implementation of pear merchandising tactics that resulted in substantial increases in pear sales and volume over the past year. By implementing proven pear merchandising strategies, Publix has taken advantage of the profit opportunity that pears offer at retail. According to Kevin D. Moffitt, president and chief executive officer of Pear Bureau Northwest, Publix achieved this level of success in the category by implementing several innovative pear merchandising tactics. “Offering shoppers two green pears simultaneously, Bartlett and Anjou, was one of the top tactics that Publix introduced over the past year to see their pear sales really soar,” he said in a press release. “Recent research that we conducted shows that retailers that carry these two varieties at the same time results in a 7 percent sales increase over stores that offer only one green pear.” Moffitt also noted that Publix implemented other pear merchandising best practices, like offering ripe pears on display, maintaining large multi-variety pear displays positioned at the front of the produce department, and utilizing secondary displays to increase visibility for this high impulse purchase fruit. In addition, it offered bagged pears to attract savvy shoppers. “Publix has shown how good pear merchandising increases sales, and in their case that meant substantial increases in pear sales over the past year,” he said. 1 / 2 Garry Bergstrom, business development director of produce and floral at Publix, accepted this award on behalf of the company: “It is an honor to be the recipient of this award, and we look forward to continued growth and success in the pear category in the future.” The Pear Retailer of the Year Award was established by Pear Bureau Northwest in 2011. Past honorees were Demoula’s Market Basket (2011), Meijer (2012) and Ingles (2013). The Pear Bureau’s team of regional marketing managers selects the annual recipient based on sales performance, creativity in pear merchandising, and overall excellence in supporting the pear category. The Pear Bureau also celebrates “Top Performers” in the pear category, and honorees for 2014 are Ahold USA Inc., Big Y Supermarkets, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Dierbergs Markets, Hannaford Bros. Co., Hy-Vee Food Stores, The Kroger Co., Rouses Supermarkets, Sprouts Farmers Market, Wegmans Food Markets and WinCo Foods. Pear Bureau Northwest partners with grocery retailers nationwide in an effort to increase overall success with the pear category. The organization provides marketing and merchandising expertise that is customized specifically for each retail organization, using its pear consumer research findings as well as individual store analysis using an in-house data system that measures pear category performance nationwide.

Cassinerio Legajo: 33.711.451 Director de Tesis: Alejandro Loizaga Lugar y Fecha: Buenos Aires, Junio 2017 1 Índice Resumen ejecutivo 3 Introducción 3 Descripción del sector 5 Descripción de la compañía 10 Análisis de riesgos 21 Análisis financiero 23 Metodología de valuación 32 Análisis de comparables – Múltiplos 56 Conclusiones 63 Bibliografía 65 2 Tesis de graduaciòn: Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM) Resumen ejecutivo El presente ensayo tiene como objetivo plantear los principales lineamientos para realizar un ejercicio de valuación de capital accionario de Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM). Esta compañía es una cadena de supermercados regional que opera en la región sudoeste de Estados Unidos y se enfoca en la venta de productos orgánicos y saludables a precios accesibles, siendo sus principales competidores cadenas tradicionales de alcance nacional y otras tiendas con enfoques similares como Whole Foods o Trader Joe’s. El ejercicio de valuación se llevará a cabo mediante la técnica de Valor Presente Ajustado (APV por sus siglas en inglés), la cual consiste en el descuento de flujos de fondos en un escenario de financiamiento a través de capital propio únicamente, al que luego se le adicionan los efectos de la deuda. El motivo de la elección de esta técnica de valuación tiene que ver con la estructura de capital de la compañía, que no se mantiene estable en el tiempo. Técnicas de valuación más reconocidas, como los flujos descontados a una tasa WACC (costo promedio ponderado del capital) no capturan plenamente los efectos de una estructura de capital tendiente al desapalancamiento, como es el caso de SFM.
