Agenda

1) Discuss potential scenarios resulting from NAFTA termination

2) Translate possible tariff increases into direct impact on cost of goods sold for Canadian retailers

3) Identify the indirect impact on overall economy, consumer spending and category share of wallet

4) Establish guidelines for retailer self-assessment and action

Together with RCC, A.T. Kearney assessed the impact of different scenarios on your business and your customers’ spending behavior

Canada-US bilateral trade under NAFTA is the second-largest trading relationship in the world

2016 Canada-US bilateral goods

trade was $700 billion+1

The Retail Council of Canada partnered with A.T. Kearney to assess the impact of NAFTA termination on Canadian retail

• Rising nationalism in United

States and discontent in

manufacturing states on job

losses due to NAFTA

• Donald Trump promised to

renegotiate a better deal for

the United States or

“terminate it”

Background Issues Timeline

• Trade deficits

• Rules of origin

• Labour and environment standards

• Government procurement

• Protected local industries

• Dispute Resolution

• United States and Mexico want to conclude renegotiations by end of 2017 ahead of key elections in each country next year

• 4 rounds of renegotiations completed so far with no reported breakthroughs on contentious themes

Retail goods imports from USA are worth ~$108 bn and are concentrated in eight main sub-categories

Retail goods imports from USA(CAD $ bn, 2015)

1. Production imports (~$257 bn) e.g. machinery & equipment, commodities, chemicals, etc2. Household items with high purchase frequency e.g., soap, paper towels, toilet paper, toothpaste, garbage bags etc.3. Household items with low purchase frequency e.g., furniture, mattresses, drapes, linen etc.4. Other foods is comprised of baked goods, fish & shellfish, food oils, cereal, alcohol, etc.5. Canadian goods exports to the United States was $381 bn leading to a trade deficit of $16 bn; bilateral trade is worth $746 bn (= $365 bn + $381 bn)Source: US Exports Data 2015, A.T.

Scenario Development

Direct and Indirect ImpactOn Retailers

Actions for RCC members

This assessment has quantified the impact on gross margins for retail in Canada through the lens of direct and indirect costs

• Examined current NAFTA and WTO tariffs and US –originating imports across 5,000+ line items

• Developed scenarios and tariff structures for a no-NAFTA trade relationship between USA and Canada

• Estimated direct impact on US-originating COGS due to tariffs

• Quantified indirect impact by:

– Estimating slowdown in GDP growth

– Quantifying lower household retail spend

– Using income elasticity to measure shift in category share of wallet

• Identified operational areas of focus for retailers in Canada

• Developed next steps and action items for retailers

If NAFTA were terminated, there are three possible scenarios for Canada’s trade relationship with the United States

Scenarios overview

Scenario 1: Revert to Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA)1

• Canada and USA agree to their own bilateral free trade agreement similar to the

current NAFTA agreement

Scenario 2: End of North American Free Trade

• Tariffs on US imports change to rates applied on other nations’ exports to Canada

under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules

Scenario 3: Protectionism Returns

• Rising nationalism and protectionism might see United States breaking with the WTO

treaty and raise tariffs as they see fit, prompting Canadian retaliation in kind

1. Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (CUFTA), preceded NAFTA and was effective 1989 – 1994; Scenario proposes a bilateral free-trade agreement at current tariff levels is agreed uponSource: A.T. Kearney

There are also indirect impacts with the ‘flywheel’ effect of lower consumer spending and change in category share of wallet

(1) Canadian economy begins to

slow down due to higher tariffs

and reduced access to US market

(2) Slower growth and higher tariffs

translate to lower consumer spending

because of lower disposable income

and higher inflation

Indirect impact of higher tariffs

(3) Reduced spending changes category share of

wallet due to elasticity spend categories e.g.,

discretionary electronics more impacted than food

Key Takeaway: The cumulative impact of Scenarios 2 and 3 is to potentially reduce gross margins in retail by ~$5-25 bn

• Discretionary goods (e.g.,

electronics & appliances,

automotive and household

goods) will be impacted by

the shift in share of wallet

Decreased Sales

• Automotive and household

goods are at greatest risk of

increased COGS due to

volume of imports and

magnitude of tariff increase

Example: In Scenario 2, % decrease in nationwide apparel sales is 0.7% and tariff increase is 7.9%; Therefore GM impact = [$217 mn* 0.007]+[$533 mn*0.15*0.993*0.079] = $7.8 mn3.

These scenarios have the potential to impact retailers in Canada in three major areas

• Higher tariffs and reduced sales will impact bottom-line of retailers unless costs are passed onto customers or cost reduction is achieved

• Smaller retailers with greater exposure to US-originating imports are disproportionately impacted

Profitability Supply Chain Organization

• Tighter rules of origin on embedded content may prompt companies to buy outside of NAFTA suppliers

• This may necessitate re-working of complex supply chains and re-design of distribution networks

• Organizational capabilities on trade compliance, sourcing and supply chain will need to be enhanced

• Retailers may need enhanced capabilities to analyze bill of materials and product classifications to assess origins and tariff impacts

What are next steps for a retailer?

Step 1: Understand risk exposure

• Quantify potential impact to internal and competitor COGS under different scenarios

• Primary factors to consider are category COGS spend, proportion of imports from the

United States and Mexico and current versus future tariff structure

Step 2: Outline potential response

• Frame options to respond to different scenarios (pass-through of costs to consumer,

internal cost improvement to off-set increases, explore alternative sources of supply

outside the USA, etc.)

• Response should factor potential impact vis-à-vis competitor response

Step 3: Join with the RCC in making an impact

• Be an active voice with government and the media to advocate for retail in Canada

• Participate in upcoming discussions to share real impact on your company and your customers

• Be prepared to share confidential data with government to demonstrate impact

Price Elasticities: Determining Distribution of 1 unit reduction in spend

• Took distribution of one unit of spend based on price elasticities across all categories

• Focusing on retail, identified distribution of 1 unit of retail-specific spend across retail relevant categories

• For transportation, divided percentage to only include retail relevant subcategories like vehicle and auto part purchases
