  1. FISCAL 2014 SALES OBJECTIVES May 12, 2014

  2. The Selling Season …. During the next 90 days we have a long to do list: • Complete MIT line reviews for Spring 2015 shipment • Price increase communication on MIT and T&H • Line review on Inside Out – launch planning • Fall 2015 Planning and previews • Miles from Tomorrowland • The Good Dinosaur • Core line and licenses

  3. A Strong Start …. We began the year with a soft start … • April was very weak on the back half of month. • May looks stronger – but we need to close the deal. • June looks very good -- but not much in order book. Moving into Q2 at or above plan – puts us in good shape to realize our margin enhancement objectives.

  4. Sales Plan for 2014 • Plan for Americas is $311M • Compares to $294M in ‘13 – 5.7% increase • Margin change from 50% to 50.5% • Balanced plan – reasonable objectives

  5. For MIT Three Primary Goals… • Drive sales in focus categories: • Licensed Toddler Feeding $25.0 – 19.2 +30% • Bath & Potty $19.2 – 18.5 +4% • Specialty Brands $54.7 – 51.2 +6.9 • Use brand portfolio and product assortment to address opportunity across all channels • Drive margin from 46.1% to 46.9

  6. For T&H Two Primary Goals… • Build on our base of core brands: • John Deere $86 -- $88 • Pokémon $10.9 -- $14.4 • Chuggington $9.7 -- $11 • Battroborg $15 -- $20.5 • Sell in our new Disney / Pixar brands • Inside Out / Miles / The Good Dinosaur

  7. Wrap up price increase • Objective is to affect a 3% net price increase in top 15 customers by June 30th. • As our costs rise – we have no choice • Individual plans per customer • Part of overall change in pricing execution.

  8. Give Away Less … • At 7% of Sales -- R&A represents over $25 million in payments to customers each year. • Objective is to reduce spending as a percentage of sales by 1.5% • Challenge is that about 4% of R&A is “Fixed” • 1.5% represents a significant reduction in “over & above” funding / promotions / etc. • Budget process vs. open end

  9. Keeping Score .. • Price change & RA budget integrated into scorecard process for sales managers • Track success against objectives monthly

  10. Everyday is a Line Review • Until we hit 100% distribution – everyday is an opportunity to improve assortment and drive sales. • We can’t be content to “manage our set” we need to drive our business.

  11. Stop talking – Start doing • We have talked about improved focus and profitability before – 2014 is the time for action. • No one sits on the bench for this game – everyone plays the whole game. • We succeed as a team.

  12. Walmart US Sales History/Forecast Current 2014 YTD Trade Margin: 43.9%(Toy 46.8% and MIT 43.6%) F2013 R/A %: 3.1% (Toy 3.8% and MIT 2.8%)

Replenishment – timing of corporate holiday seasonal policies for toys 3. Chuggington – lack of store distribution in Fall ‘14 / reduction of space in train aisle

  14. Walmart US - MIT- 2014 • Opportunity • Disney licensed infant products – partner with Disney BV team to secure multiple features and tab for cups, potties, booster seats ($4M) • 2. Execute incremental business opportunities with Lamaze toys, JJ Cole travel program, Walmart Baby Registry, TFY rebrand re-launch ($2M). • 3. Price increase to improve overall profit margin (in particular tubs). • Challenge • 1. Walmart corporate replenishment strategies and team turnover (year 2 of new GRS system). • 2. Decline in sales performance of Bumbo floor seat and topline sales of existing gear business (total of $2M). • 3. Impact of price increases on product placement and performance.

  15. Walmart US -- Margin Enhancement • Price increases on both sides of business. • 2. New placement of higher margin items. • Reduce the number of low margin item features in MIT. • More focused rollback strategy and import shipment option in toys. Price Increase Goal: Stretch Goal • 1. New product placement and performance (i.e. Pokemon in front end of store). • 2. Store count expansion of Travel and JJ Cole test programs. • 3. TFY Brand relaunch impact.

  16. Walmart Canada Sales History/Forecast Current 2014 YTD Trade Margin: 41.5% (Toy 39.8% and MIT 41.7%) F2013 R/A %: 11.2% (Toy 5.7% and MIT 12.5%)

Walmart Canada -Toy & Hobby - 2014 Opportunity • Pokemon – distribution within boys aisle (60% of total in 2013) • John Deere – align to US success and Sept TV advertising campaign (39% of total in 2013) • Market share growth with Target Canada poor launch execution Challenge • Battroborg – lack of placement even with US success and buyer help 2. Chuggington – lack of distribution in Fall ‘14 / TV show coverage on Treehouse

  18. Walmart Canada - MIT- 2014 • Opportunity • Toddler feeding – expand Take & Toss to all stores and add TFY insulated cups (current overall business is 80% non licensed) • 2. Licensed feeding – expand Disney offerings with additional characters in insulated cups and add open stock bowls / plates per US success • Travel – develop product program based on Canada channel strategy and US Fleurville distribution • Import shipments in US $’s – competitive vendors are shifting full programs to overcome currency risk and high costs of distribution / tariffs • Challenge • 1. Mature retailer market – no retail is providing significant growth with poor Target launch; vendors are being aggressive with Walmart • 2. Continue expansion of Tommy Tippee and private label in most categories • 3. Infant feeding – breast pump business down 17% YTD (represents 44% of total business)

  19. Walmart Canada -- Margin Enhancement • Price increases on both sides of business. • 2.

  21. TARGET-Toy & Hobby - 2014 Opportunity • Rollout of Chuggington items to entire chain • Pokémon success through Excell could lead to additional items placed during fall season.

If one of these don’t perform, it will pull down the number. Any softness early on could cause Target to cancel import orders • Target has de-valued in-stocks during holiday season with a focus on profitability and inventory reduction. With Chuggington being a new line, they will be less likely to extend themselves • Continued erosion of market share due to decreased store traffic will have a negative effect on the entire department

  22. TARGET-- MIT- 2014 Opportunity • Baby 360 rollout to 180 stores offers opportunity to see increased sales in these locations. • Continue to grow the Disney toddler feeding in excess of Playtex levels from last year. • Continued focus on in-stocks despite Target’s decreased focus. Currently, our in-stocks are 96% vs. 90% LY Challenge • Decreased stores traffic continues to affect overall Target sales • Change in market dynamics in the breast feeding business has negatively effected Target and TOMY sales (ACA) • News buyers in the department (4 of 5 have less than 1 year within the dept) • Loss of JJ Cole business ($2.3M) and Gear ($800K) need to be made up in other categories

  23. TARGET-- Margin Enhancement • Reduced policy accrual 2% for TFY MIT and 1% T&H (Target) & 2% T&H (.com) • Reduced spending on Target Baby catalog from $250,000 - $150,000 • Analyzing all TPC’s to ensure they drive a positive ROI • Continue to fight all post-audit claims.
