– Leveraging the best store network in America
•
–
Enhancing customer Experience
•
•
–
Within five miles of nearly three-quarters of all Americans

15 percent fewer individual items, which provides a more efficient and
convenient shopping experience for today’s busy consumers. (Now
more than 1,800 stores)

available in a total of nearly 4,200 stores
Driving cost reduction and productivity gain
•
Rewiring for Growth: Target for $1 billion in annual savings in fiscal
2011
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths
Weakness
Market Leadership (approx 30% mkt
share)
Consolidation of market – reduced
independent drug stores
Geographic Concentration - CA, FL,
TX,IL, NY 40%
Declining Operating Margin -5.13%
in 2010 vs. 5.8% Avg. last 5 yrs
Opportunity
Threat
 Develop drive-thru model
 In-store clinics
 Aging Baby Boomers
Patent expirations on generics in
2012/2013
From mass merchandisers ( they can
afford lower margins)
 Mail-order businesses (offer greater
convenience)
 Dependence on Medicare/Medicaid
(reduction in rates could affect
margins)
MACROECONOMIC REVIEW
 Macro economy current:
The tough economic conditions of 2008 and 2009 had a lasting effect on consumer
behavior. Concern over high unemployment and declined consumer confidence
affect customer’s spending habit. Price has become the single most important factor
in making the purchase decision
Consumer confidence:
Unemployment
Source:http://mjperry.blogspot.com/2010/06/consumer-confidence-highest-since-jan.html
MACROECONOMIC REVIEW
 As the economy begins to strengthen in 2010 and 2011, decreasing
unemployment and rising income levels should boost this industry’s
pharmaceutical as well as front-end sales
 Also, as more consumers gain employment, the level of insurance
coverage is expected to rise, thus increasing the likelihood people will
purchase pills and other medicine
 Increase in health awareness among people will lead to increase in
front-end sales of health related products
 Increased spending by the government on Medicare/Medicaid is
expected to boost sales
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
 Industry Outlook:
The industry outlook is positive: Sales will maintain growth due to an aging population,
longer life expectancy and healthcare reform. Revenue is forecast to grow at an average
annualized rate of 3.1% to total $251.9 billion in 2015
 Highly Competitive Industry
M&A: The industry will slow its new store openings after decades of rapid expansion,
and consolidation will continue. Enterprise numbers will decline at an average
annualized rate of 1.3% to settle at about 21,786 companies during the next five years
Price: As Mass merchants, mail-order pharmacies and PBMs (pharmacy benefit
managers ) continue to pose a threat to industry sales, they place downward pressure on
prices
Source:Pharmacies&Drug Stores in the US, ISBS World Industry Report 44611, July 2010
 Medical reimbursement level
Certain provisions of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 seek to reduce federal
spending by altering the Medicaid reimbursement formula for generic drugs.
These changes are expected to result in reduced Medicaid reimbursement rates
for prescription
 Health reform
Expand insurance coverage and subsequently increase pharmaceuticals’
demand as they become more affordable
The government is expected to initiate cost cutting, which could adversely
affect profit margins

PORTER’S FIVE FORCES
 Barrier to Entry: Medium
Consolidation that is creating large players with deep resources
Government and state laws and regulations
 Threat of substitutes:
Drugs:
Low
General Merchandise: High
Few alternative choices, inelastic demand
Supermarkets are large threats
 Bargaining power of buyers: Moderate
Inelastic demand but thinning profit margin
 Bargaining power of suppliers: Moderate
The large retailers purchase directly from several suppliers, strong relationship
 Rivalry among existing competitors: High
Both internal and external sources, including other drug store chains or independent drug stores,
supermarket chains, mass merchandisers, on-line retailers and mail order pharmacies
COMPETITORS - DESCRIPTION
 CVS Caremark – CVS Caremark operates in two segments –
Pharmacy Services and Retail Pharmacy. The Retail Pharmacy
segment sells prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs,
beauty products and cosmetics, photo finishing, seasonal
merchandise, greeting cards, and convenience foods through

retail stores. For the year ending 31-Dec-2009, it reported
sales of $98.729B
