Perfumania Files for Bankruptcy and Plans to Close 64 Stores American specialty retailer Perfumania has filed for bankruptcy. It plans to close 64 of its 226 stores and privatize the company as part of its reorganization. According to the company’s announcement, it is reducing the number of retail stores to better align with current consumer shopping patterns, in order to increase investments in its e-commerce business. Macy’s Appoints Former eBay Executive Hal Lawton as President Macy’s has named former eBay North America SVP Hal Lawton as President, effective September 8. Lawton has a strong technology and e-ecommerce background. Prior to joining eBay, he worked at Home Depot and McKinsey & Co. Ulta On Track to Open 100 Stores in 2017 During its earnings call, Ulta reaffirmed that it is on track to open 100 new locations in 2017. The company already opened 20 stores in the second quarter, bringing the total to 1,010 stores. Management emphasized that cannibalization of existing store sales is low, which suggests that combining the online experience with the brick-and-mortar shopping experience is important. Estée Lauder CEO Denies the Company is in Talks for a Potential Sale or Merger President and CEO Fabrizio Freda said that Estée Lauder Companies is not for sale, according to a Bloomberg article, reiterating that the company is strong and has excellent momentum going forward.

    0 ucvbnmqwertyuiopåasdfghjklæøzxcv Executive Summary The master thesis at hand is a study of the Danish retail store chain Tiger and EQT’s decision to acquire a 70% stake in the company. The aim in this thesis is twofold. Firstly, a valuation of Zebra per June 30, 2015, will be conducted. Secondly, an analysis of the value creation during EQT’s ownership period is performed. The main objective in this thesis is to estimate the fair Enterprise Value per June 30, 2015, through a DCF-analysis. Based on Zebra’s strategic position and its historical financial performance, the expected future earnings and cash flow generations were forecasted and resulted in an Enterprise Value of DKK 8,864 million from which the Group accounted for DKK 8,350 million and the Japanese Joint Venture for DKK 515 million. Based on these figures, Zebra’s fair value of equity comprises DKK 7,789 million. Of this figure, EQT’s share of the equity amounts to DKK 5,219 million and DKK 2,874 million when correcting for the 50/50 owned subsidiaries. At EQT’s entry in the beginning of 2013, the purchase price for its stake was DKK 1,600 million, according to different sources, resulting in an IRR for EQT on 26.48% per year. This IRR is satisfying since it is above the expected return for Private Equity investments which historically has a threshold for an IRR on over 20% per year, and in more recent time a threshold between 12-17% per year. The objective in the second part of this thesis is to analyze how EQT has created or destroyed value during its ownership period based on an IRR for Zebra, excluding the Japanese Joint Venture.
