UNITED STATES - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The US has the largest and most technologically powerful economy in the world, with a per capita GDP of $48,100. In this market-oriented economy, private individuals and business firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace. US business firms enjoy greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products. At the same time, they face higher barriers to enter their rivals' home markets than foreign firms face entering US markets. US firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in computers and in medical, aerospace, and military equipment; their advantage has narrowed since the end of World War II. The onrush of technology largely explains the gradual development of a "two-tier labor market" in which those at the bottom lack the education and the professional/technical skills of those at the top and, more and more, fail to get comparable pay raises, health insurance coverage, and other benefits. Since 1975, practically all the gains in household income have gone to the top 20% of households. Since 1996, dividends and capital gains have grown faster than wages or any other category of after-tax income. Imported oil accounts for nearly 55% of US consumption. Oil prices doubled between 2001 and 2006, the year home prices peaked; higher gasoline prices ate into consumers' budgets and many individuals fell behind in their mortgage payments. Oil prices increased another 50% between 2006 and 2008. In 2008, soaring oil prices threatened inflation and caused a deterioration in the US merchandise trade deficit, which peaked at $840 billion. In 2009, with the global recession deepening, oil prices dropped 40% and the US trade deficit shrank, as US domestic demand declined, but in 2011 the trade deficit ramped back up to $803 billion, as oil prices climbed once more. The global economic downturn, the sub-prime mortgage crisis, investment bank failures, falling home prices, and tight credit pushed the United States into a recession by mid-2008. GDP contracted until the third quarter of 2009, making this the deepest and longest downturn since the Great Depression. To help stabilize financial markets, in October 2008 the US Congress established a $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The government used some of these funds to purchase equity in US banks and industrial corporations, much of which had been returned to the government by early 2011. In January 2009 the US Congress passed and President Barack OBAMA signed a bill providing an additional $787 billion fiscal stimulus to be used over 10 years - two-thirds on additional spending and one-third on tax cuts - to create jobs and to help the economy recover. In 2010 and 2011, the federal budget deficit reached nearly 9% of GDP; total government revenues from taxes and other sources are lower, as a percentage of GDP, than that of most other developed countries. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan required major shifts in national resources from civilian to military purposes and contributed to the growth of the US budget deficit and public debt - through 2011, the direct costs of the wars totaled nearly $900 billion, according to US government figures. In March 2010, President OBAMA signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a health insurance reform bill that will extend coverage to an additional 32 million American citizens by 2016, through private health insurance for the general population and Medicaid for the impoverished. Total spending on health care - public plus private - rose from 9.0% of GDP in 1980 to 17.9% in 2010. In July 2010, the president signed the DODD-FRANK Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, a law designed to promote financial stability by protecting consumers from financial abuses, ending taxpayer bailouts of financial firms, dealing with troubled banks that are "too big to fail," and improving accountability and transparency in the financial system - in particular, by requiring certain financial derivatives to be traded in markets that are subject to government regulation and oversight. Long-term problems include inadequate investment in deteriorating infrastructure, rapidly rising medical and pension costs of an aging population, sizable current account and budget deficits - including significant budget shortages for state governments - energy shortages, and stagnation of wages for lower-income families.

In May 2011, a lawsuit was filed by Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. against the subsidiary unit of DGCs subsidiary Dolgencorp, LLC in the Southern District of Florida. The Winn-Dixie alleged that the that the sale of food and other items in nearly 55 of the Dolgencorp stores was co-located in a shopping center with one of plaintiffs' stores, which violates restrictive covenants which are binding on the occupants of the shopping centers. In June 2010, the company was involved in a civil action lawsuit (Shaleka Gross, et al v. Dollar General Corporation) in US District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. The plaintiffs in the case include three former non-exempt store employees alleged that they were not paid for all hours worked in violation of the FLSA. The company is also facing a similar case filed in 2006 by its former store manage in the US District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, alleging the company for paying less than the male store managers because of her sex, which was in violation of the Equal Pay Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The company is facing various other similar issues which put an additional burden on the cost structure of the company in terms of legal consultancy fees, fines imposed, penalties levied, and damages paid.

Limited Liquidity Position

Opportunities

Business Expansion: E-Commerce

E-retailing, has been witnessing a strong growth in the recent years, mostly due to the rising internet penetration and the user-friendly shopping interface created by the retailers. The further enhance its position in convenience and value; the company in 2011 launched its ecommerce channel at dollargeneral.com. The company’s newly launched web store offers an extensive range of brand and private label merchandise, which include health and beauty products, cleaning supplies, baby items, holiday merchandise, home decor, stationery, and snacks among others. According to analysts, the online retail sales in the US are expected to reach $229 billion in 2013. The market is expected to grow at a compound average growth rate (CAGR) of 10% from 2009 to 2013. Moreover, according to Internet World Stats as on December 31, 2011, the internet penetration in the world population stood at 32.7%, compared to 28.7%. Besides, during 2000-2011, internet penetration recorded a growth of 528.1%. The rising popularity of e-retailing has encouraged more and more customers to shop online and place their orders through credit cards, thereby avoiding the time consuming journey and billing queues. Thus, the company's newly launched ecommerce channel could provide it with ample of opportunities to achieve its business growth prospects.

Private Label Gaining Momentum

The company can benefit amidst the increasing demand of private label goods. It can foster its sales due to the growing preference of private label items, which offers lower cost products then the other established national brands. As a part of its strategic intent the company is focusing on nurturing and enhancing of its private-brand products. The private label brands witnessed increment in sales and dollar share in US retailing segment consisting of supermarkets, convenience stores, drug stores and discount stores in nearly all categories. According to industry experts, in 2011 the overall sales of private label in supermarkets witnessed an increment of 5.1% compared to the figures in 2010, and in drug stores also private labels reported a overall sales increment of 3.8% compared to previous year. Moreover, the private label food and non-food grocery sales in the US in 2011 were $120 billion, which also witnessed substantial growth and is further expected to follow similar growth trajectory in coming years. Private label goods are generally much cheaper to produce than branded goods, due to the lack of advertising and marketing expenses. This strong growth offers retailers an opportunity to invest in the development of their own private labels. Also, the retailers are now becoming increasingly established as brands themselves, marketing their private label products as alternatives to national brands. This increasing demand for the private label products creates huge opportunity for the company.

Key Business Initiatives

The company has taken various initiatives in the recent past, to fuel its business growth and to expand the scope of its business. In the year ended February 3, 2012, the company opened 500 new stores at various strategic locations which are expected to witness high demand of products, and closed 34 underperforming stores. The company opened 12 new Dollar General Market stores, which includes seven stores with its entry in Nevada. The company through the opening of its new stores entered the markets of Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Nevada. It also remodeled or relocated 550 traditional stores and 25 Dollar General Market stores. In the fiscal 2012, the company has plans to open 625 new stores and to remodel or relocate an additional 550 stores, which includes plans to open 40 new Dollar General Market stores. The company is also testing a larger format traditional store with approximately 10,000 sq. ft. of selling space, including an expanded section of coolers and freezers. The company expects the capital expenditures during 2012 to be in the range of $600-$650m. The company also opened a new distribution center in Bessemer, Alabama which became operational in March 2012. The company also leased a distribution facility in Lebec, California which was expected to be operational in April 2012. In June 2012, the company announced its plans to build a distribution center in Bethel Township, in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Moreover, in the recent years, the company made significant investments in facilities, technological improvements and upgrades, which is expected to enhance its efficiency and ability to support merchandising and operational level initiatives.

Threats

Dependence on Suppliers

Dollar General sources and sells products from a wide variety of domestic and international suppliers. The company’s major suppliers Procter & Gamble, Kimberly Clark, Unilever, Kellogg's, General Mills, Nabisco, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. In year ended February 2012, the company made nearly 8% and 7% of its purchases from its largest and second largest suppliers, respectively. Around 8.0% of its purchases were directly imported at cost. Apart from that, its domestic suppliers also import their products or components directly. Therefore, political and economic instability in foreign suppliers’ countries might have a major impact on Dollar General. Along with that, the company is also vulnerable to the financial instability of the suppliers, their failure to meet the standards and any labor problems faced by the suppliers. Disruptions due to labor stoppages, strikes or slowdowns, or other disruptions, involving its vendors or the transportation and handling industries also may negatively affect its ability to receive merchandise and thus may negatively affect its annual sales. This dependence on the third party suppliers/vendors to procure its supplies is fraught with grave country risk and foreign exchange risk.

Substantial Debt Burden

Increasing debt could have a major impact on the operational performance of the company as a major portion of the company's earnings would be diverted to servicing its debt obligations. This could be of concern to the investors and make it difficult for the company to raise funds on favorable terms from the market. Although the company reduced its total debt burden in 2012 compared to 2011, however it still sustains on the higher side. For the year ended February 3, 2012, the company had total outstanding debt of $2.618 billion, which also includes the current portion of long-term obligations. The outstanding debt includes a $1.964 billion senior secured term loan facility which maturity in July 2014; nearly $450.7m principal amount of senior subordinated toggle notes due 2017; and borrowings of $184.7m under company’s senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. The company in March 2012 amended its revolving credit facility and increased its maximum borrowing to $1.2 billion and extended the maturity date to July 2014, which was previously scheduled to mature at July 2013. The company incurred this debt to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs. If it fails to comply with any of the debt service requirements, the debt could become due and payable prior to its scheduled maturity. The company needs to dedicate a significant portion of its cash flow from operations to service interest and principal payments. Any reduction in revenues and operating cash flows could hinder the company’s ability to repay interest and principal, resulting in default.

Competitive Market

Being in the discount retail merchandise business, Dollar General faces stiff competition relating to price, store location, merchandise assortment, quality, and customer service. It directly competes with discount stores and mass merchandise retailers. The grocery, drug, convenience, variety and other specialty stores also competes in luring customers from the company. Apart from various local and independent operators, the direct competitors in the dollar store retail category include Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, Fred’s, 99 Cents Only. Other retail categories competing with Dollar General include Wal-Mart Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Target and Costco. Having a greater financial arm, these firms have a competitive edge over Dollar General in terms of marketing, distribution, and other activities. They compete heavily through aggressive promotional activities, merchandise selection and availability, best customer service, right location, longer store hours, best in-store amenities and low price. Due to their large scale operations, extensive geographical markets and product and brand variety, they have better bargaining power from the suppliers compared to Dollar General. Thus the competition pressurizes the company to lower the prices to maintain its competitive position, thereby lowering the margins.

Credit.net, a division of infoUSA, has developed a sophisticated computer model to assign credit ratings to most of the 14 million businesses in infoUSA's database. infoUSA's proven model considers information such as the number of employees, years in business, industry stability, census data and other factors to arrive at credit ratings that are sound indicators of ability to pay. It does not factor payment histories as many big companies intentionally "slow pay".

Credit.net’s Credit Rating Scores are indicators of the probable ability to pay. We recommend that these ratings be used primarily as a starting point and should not be the sole factor used in making a credit decision. By necessity, credit decisions must be based upon the credit provider’s policies as applied to each unique transaction.

United States of America Long-Term Rating Lowered To 'AA+' Due To Political Risks, Rising Debt Burden; Outlook Negative

Publication date: 05-Aug-2011 20:13:14 EST


 

  • We have lowered our long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States of America to 'AA+' from 'AAA' and affirmed the 'A-1+' short-term rating.

·         We have also removed both the short- and long-term ratings from CreditWatch negative.

·         The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the Administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government's medium-term debt dynamics.

·         More broadly, the downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than we envisioned when we assigned a negative outlook to the rating on April 18, 2011.

·         Since then, we have changed our view of the difficulties in bridging the gulf between the political parties over fiscal policy, which makes us pessimistic about the capacity of Congress and the Administration to be able to leverage their agreement this week into a broader fiscal consolidation plan that stabilizes the government's debt dynamics any time soon.

·         The outlook on the long-term rating is negative. We could lower the long-term rating to 'AA' within the next two years if we see that less reduction in spending than agreed to, higher interest rates, or new fiscal pressures during the period result in a higher general government debt trajectory than we currently assume in our base case.

 

TORONTO (Standard & Poor's) Aug. 5, 2011--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said today that it lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States of America to 'AA+' from 'AAA'. Standard & Poor's also said that the outlook on the long-term rating is negative. At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'A-1+' short-term rating on the U.S. In addition, Standard & Poor's removed both ratings from CreditWatch, where they were placed on July 14, 2011, with negative implications.

 

The transfer and convertibility (T&C) assessment of the U.S.--our assessment of the likelihood of official interference in the ability of U.S.-based public- and private-sector issuers to secure foreign exchange for

debt service--remains 'AAA'.

 

We lowered our long-term rating on the U.S. because we believe that the prolonged controversy over raising the statutory debt ceiling and the related fiscal policy debate indicate that further near-term progress containing the growth in public spending, especially on entitlements, or on reaching an agreement on raising revenues is less likely than we previously assumed and will remain a contentious and fitful process. We also believe that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the Administration agreed to this week falls short of the amount that we believe is necessary to stabilize the general government debt burden by the middle of the decade.

 

Our lowering of the rating was prompted by our view on the rising public debt burden and our perception of greater policymaking uncertainty, consistent with our criteria (see "Sovereign Government Rating Methodology and Assumptions ," June 30, 2011, especially Paragraphs 36-41). Nevertheless, we view the U.S. federal government's other economic, external, and monetary credit attributes, which form the basis for the sovereign rating, as broadly unchanged.

 

We have taken the ratings off CreditWatch because the Aug. 2 passage of the Budget Control Act Amendment of 2011 has removed any perceived immediate threat of payment default posed by delays to raising the government's debt ceiling. In addition, we believe that the act provides sufficient clarity to allow us to evaluate the likely course of U.S. fiscal policy for the next few years.

 

The political brinksmanship of recent months highlights what we see as America's governance and policymaking becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable than what we previously believed. The statutory debt ceiling and the threat of default have become political bargaining chips in the debate over fiscal policy. Despite this year's wide-ranging debate, in our view, the differences between political parties have proven to be extraordinarily difficult to bridge, and, as we see it, the resulting agreement fell well short of the comprehensive fiscal consolidation program that some proponents had envisaged until quite recently. Republicans and Democrats have only been able to agree to relatively modest savings on discretionary spending while delegating to the Select Committee decisions on more comprehensive measures. It appears that for now, new revenues have dropped down on the menu of policy options. In addition, the plan envisions only minor policy changes on Medicare and little change in other entitlements,

the containment of which we and most other independent observers regard as key to long-term fiscal sustainability.

 

Our opinion is that elected officials remain wary of tackling the structural issues required to effectively address the rising U.S. public debt burden in a manner consistent with a 'AAA' rating and with 'AAA' rated sovereign peers (see Sovereign Government Rating Methodology and Assumptions," June 30, 2011, especially Paragraphs 36-41). In our view, the difficulty in framing a consensus on fiscal policy weakens the government's ability to manage public finances and diverts attention from the debate over how to achieve more balanced and dynamic economic growth in an era of fiscal stringency and private-sector deleveraging (ibid). A new political consensus might (or might not) emerge after the 2012 elections, but we believe that by then, the government debt burden will likely be higher, the needed medium-term fiscal adjustment potentially greater, and the inflection point on the U.S. population's demographics and other age-related spending drivers closer at hand (see "Global Aging 2011: In The U.S., Going Gray Will Likely Cost Even More Green, Now," June 21, 2011).

 

Standard & Poor's takes no position on the mix of spending and revenue measures that Congress and the Administration might conclude is appropriate for putting the U.S.'s finances on a sustainable footing.

 

The act calls for as much as $2.4 trillion of reductions in expenditure growth over the 10 years through 2021. These cuts will be implemented in two steps: the $917 billion agreed to initially, followed by an additional $1.5 trillion that the newly formed Congressional Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction is supposed to recommend by November 2011. The act contains no measures to raise taxes or otherwise enhance revenues, though the committee could recommend them.

 

The act further provides that if Congress does not enact the committee's recommendations, cuts of $1.2 trillion will be implemented over the same time period. The reductions would mainly affect outlays for civilian discretionary spending, defense, and Medicare. We understand that this fall-back mechanism is designed to encourage Congress to embrace a more balanced mix of expenditure savings, as the committee might recommend.

 

We note that in a letter to Congress on Aug. 1, 2011, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated total budgetary savings under the act to be at least $2.1 trillion over the next 10 years relative to its baseline assumptions. In updating our own fiscal projections, with certain modifications outlined below, we have relied on the CBO's latest "Alternate Fiscal Scenario" of June 2011, updated to include the CBO assumptions contained in its Aug. 1 letter to Congress. In general, the CBO's "Alternate Fiscal Scenario" assumes a continuation of recent Congressional action overriding existing law.

 

We view the act's measures as a step toward fiscal consolidation. However, this is within the framework of a legislative mechanism that leaves open the details of what is finally agreed to until the end of 2011, and Congress and the Administration could modify any agreement in the future. Even assuming that at least $2.1 trillion of the spending reductions the act envisages are implemented, we maintain our view that the U.S. net general government debt burden (all levels of government combined, excluding liquid financial assets) will likely continue to grow. Under our revised base case fiscal scenario--which we consider to be consistent with a 'AA+' long-term rating and a negative outlook--we now project that net general government debt would rise from an estimated 74% of GDP by the end of 2011 to 79% in 2015 and 85% by 2021. Even the projected 2015 ratio of sovereign indebtedness is high in relation to those of peer credits and, as noted, would continue to rise under the act's revised policy settings.

 

Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012, remain in place. We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act. Key macroeconomic assumptions in the base case scenario include trend real GDP growth of 3% and consumer price inflation near 2% annually over the decade.

 

Our revised upside scenario--which, other things being equal, we view as consistent with the outlook on the 'AA+' long-term rating being revised to stable--retains these same macroeconomic assumptions. In addition, it incorporates $950 billion of new revenues on the assumption that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for high earners lapse from 2013 onwards, as the Administration is advocating. In this scenario, we project that the net general government debt would rise from an estimated 74% of GDP by the end of 2011 to 77% in 2015 and to 78% by 2021.

 

Our revised downside scenario--which, other things being equal, we view as being consistent with a possible further downgrade to a 'AA' long-term rating--features less-favorable macroeconomic assumptions, as outlined below and also assumes that the second round of spending cuts (at least $1.2 trillion) that the act calls for does not occur. This scenario also assumes somewhat higher nominal interest rates for U.S. Treasuries. We still believe that the role of the U.S. dollar as the key reserve currency confers a government funding advantage, one that could change only slowly over time, and that Fed policy might lean toward continued loose monetary policy at a time of fiscal tightening. Nonetheless, it is possible that interest rates could rise if investors re-price relative risks. As a result, our alternate scenario factors in a 50 basis point (bp)-75 bp rise in 10-year bond yields relative to the base and upside cases from 2013 onwards. In this scenario, we project the net public debt burden would rise from 74% of GDP in 2011 to 90% in 2015 and to 101% by 2021.

 

Our revised scenarios also take into account the significant negative revisions to historical GDP data that the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced on July 29. From our perspective, the effect of these revisions underscores two related points when evaluating the likely debt trajectory of the U.S. government. First, the revisions show that the recent recession was deeper than previously assumed, so the GDP this year is lower than previously thought in both nominal and real terms. Consequently, the debt burden is slightly higher. Second, the revised data highlight the sub-par path of the current economic recovery when compared with rebounds following previous post-war recessions. We believe the sluggish pace of the current economic recovery could be consistent with the experiences of countries that have had financial crises in which the slow process of debt deleveraging in the private sector leads to a persistent drag on demand. As a result, our downside case scenario assumes relatively modest real trend GDP growth of 2.5% and inflation of near 1.5% annually going forward.

 

When comparing the U.S. to sovereigns with 'AAA' long-term ratings that we view as relevant peers--Canada, France, Germany, and the U.K.--we also observe, based on our base case scenarios for each, that the trajectory of the U.S.'s net public debt is diverging from the others. Including the U.S., we estimate that these five sovereigns will have net general government debt to GDP ratios this year ranging from 34% (Canada) to 80% (the U.K.), with the U.S. debt burden at 74%. By 2015, we project that their net public debt to GDP ratios will range between 30% (lowest, Canada) and 83% (highest, France), with the U.S. debt burden at 79%. However, in contrast with the U.S., we project that the net public debt burdens of these other sovereigns will begin to decline, either before or by 2015.

 

Standard & Poor's transfer T&C assessment of the U.S. remains 'AAA'. Our T&C assessment reflects our view of the likelihood of the sovereign restricting other public and private issuers' access to foreign exchange needed to meet debt service. Although in our view the credit standing of the U.S. government has deteriorated modestly, we see little indication that official interference of this kind is entering onto the policy agenda of either Congress or the Administration. Consequently, we continue to view this risk as being highly remote.

 

The outlook on the long-term rating is negative. As our downside alternate fiscal scenario illustrates, a higher public debt trajectory than we currently assume could lead us to lower the long-term rating again. On the other hand, as our upside scenario highlights, if the recommendations of the Congressional Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction--independently or coupled with other initiatives, such as the lapsing of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for high earners--lead to fiscal consolidation measures beyond the minimum mandated, and we believe they are likely to slow the deterioration of the government's debt dynamics, the long-term rating could stabilize at 'AA+'.

 

On Monday, we will issue separate releases concerning affected ratings in the funds, government-related entities, financial institutions, insurance, public finance, and structured finance sectors.
