• Step 1: Survival of the Fittest• Decade of growth and consolidation• Not everyone will be here, at least in current form• Near-term challenging, but this too shall pass

• Step 2: Retail Climate Change• Health care providers 1st, retailers 2nd

• Step-change underway, necessary given heavy Rx economic model, growing complexity of health care & hyper-competition

• Step 3: Mandate for Retail Step-Change• Drug must look very different 2 - 3 years out

– Requires step-changes to the box, assortment, and brand necessary to build clearly defined & differentiated consumer value proposition

• Must be easy, relevant, and/or different

Chain drug to grow at 3.6% CAGR 08-10E to USD159 million, 10.3% of $ Added… Slowing growth and deflation (PL & Generics)

Despite slowdown, WAG still projected to generate 60% of chain drug sales thru 2010E, adding $600MM in FE sales and 280 stores

Longs enters base in 2010E, to outpace WAG in FE sales adding $900 million thru 2010E (5% CAGR) and 80 new stores

Shrinking store base and per store FE and Rx productivity driving decline in sales and stores

• Past (1990 – 2008)• Double digit growth and consolidation, fueled by rapid growth of

Rx, changing economic and operating model, and need for scale

• Present (2009 - 2011)• Prescription unit and sales volume slowing• From channels to duopolies, leaders are pulling way • Consolidation accelerating and competition intensifying• Unemployment is the indicator to watch (now 8.5%)

• Future (2010 and Beyond)• Aging and diversification of the population• Health and wellness trends• Fewer, more sophisticated and focused customers

– Did we lose something along the way?

Walgreens 2011: Key Planning ConsiderationsFrom One-Way to Fully Integrated – Overnight?

• Optimize the Assortment• Placing bets on categories, what role do you serve?• Not just about reducing SKUs, though big push on there as well• Brand agnostic – developing solutions for her

• Amplify Vendor Relationships• Alignment, collaboration, innovation and focus• Increased 2-way transparency and accountability (Contribution Profit)• Requires mindset shift from sq ft growth to optimization!

• Effective Pricing and Promotion• Evaluating all promotional vehicles, including revamp of weekly ad• Less space (ad) and off-shelf = fewer, more impactful themed

solutions• More dedicated to getting price/value right on KVIs (hybrid Hi Lo)

• Enhance the Shopping Experience• No longer one size fits all, changing profiles and adjacencies• Increased focus on store standards, integrated marketing

Locking Up Share in Key Growth MarketsDecade of M&A Fueled Expansion/Diversification

• Longs Drug Stores: • Completed acquisition of 521 Longs Drug Stores in October 2008, gaining

valuable real estate and market share in California, Hawaii, Nevada and Arizona

• Also picked up 4 distributions centers and RxAmerica PBM business

• MinuteClinic• Small, but one of the single most strategic acquisitions of all• Forms core of patient-focused healthcare strategy, plus growing demand

from B2B customers (pull strategy)• Slowing growth to focus on expansion of services

• Osco/Sav-on• Remodels went off without a hitch, stores have been transformed to meet

with CVS standards• Southern California now outpacing “Core” CVS, both in terms of sales per

building and margin– S. California now the largest sales producing market in the chain

• Eckerd• Continued progress in core acquisition markets• Increased marketing efforts to gain Rx share in the face of stiff competition

• California is now largest market, (12% of base ~850 stores) and a disproportionate share of total sales

• Still, CVS is a national chain with a New England state of mind– Not completely comfortable in a store over 11,000 sq ft– Must now contend with a box upwards of 4X the size– Managing this from centralized HQ in RI could prove difficult

• CVS will need help from suppliers to get arms around very different markets, footprint, economic model, promotional and merchandise mix and shopper base

• Opportunities to improve sales productivity and GM% though introduction of ExtraCare, CVS’s private brands, mix shift, and focus on shrink

• How far assortment optimization? Will CVS still cut keys? Can CVS localize in a meaningful and scalable way?

• May be dilutive in near-term, but the right long-term investment– Concentrated exposure to regional economic conditions– Facing increased small box competition

• Revamped management team focused on reducing costs and working capital to drive cash flow

• Heavily leveraged, but last summer’s debt refinancing (though costly) bought some time

• Liquidity “ok” for now, but secondary sources unreliable and options constrained…. Cash is King!

• Amended A/R facility, albeit reduced and repriced• Should regain compliance with New York Stock Exchange • Primary banking and vendor relationships stable,

management maintaining open lines of communication

Rite Aid: Key Planning Considerations

• Living on “Borrowed” Time… Balancing Financial and Retail Realities• No longer about managing for profitability• Plans must reflect risks and rewards• Make a friend in credit / finance

• The Path Forward… Stabilization, Execution and Differentiation• On the ropes, next 3 – 12 months are pivotal• Must gain economies of scale and grow Rx scripts for survival• Focus on generics and PL will have a deflationary impact on top-line• Need to improve blocking and tackling to win her back• Variance across shopper and store base present challenges

• One Size Does Not Fit All… Focused on Unlocking the Value of Rite Aid through Segmentation• Closing stores, consolidating DCs, cutting labor and expenses and

unlocking working capital• Near-term pain necessary for long-term survival
