Bypassing a broker and directly sourcing unlabeled and private labeled goods can offer
1,000bps to 1,500bps of margin improvement
Currently, only 9% of FDO’s goods are directly imported. We believe this number could
approach 15% in the future

Current management
Operational Opportunity
Margin improvement initiatives and renovation program
Capital Structure Opportunity
FDO remains under leveraged. A leveraged buy back would
create meaningful value for shareholders
Sale of the company
Strategic Buyer
Another retailer would bring synergies to the combined company
and possibly accelerate the closing of the productivity gap

A private equity firm could optimize the capital structure and work
