Founded in 1971, Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) was a small chain of stores; they sold bed linens and bath accessories in New York and New Jersey. After 14 years of sluggish performance, the company saw an opportunity for gaining competitive advantage by moving away from small specialty-store format to a superstore format. The superstore format allowed BBBY to do what other home retailers at the time could not do: offer a depth and breadth of domestic merchandise and home furnishings at everyday low prices. The success of the superstore format allowed BBBY to issue its IPO in June 1992. Since then, BBBY has continued to grow by opening new stores, expanding existing stores and adding additional square feet of retail space. Their growth had a positive impact on sales & net profit & their stock price has sky rocketed & increased by over 350%. However a troubling reality is that over the past 4 years BBBY’s sustainable growth rate has been declining. BBBY is at an inflection point where the sustainable growth rate is not aligned with the growth strategy. It is our recommendation that BBBY improves their sustainable growth rate by increasing leverage in the near term while continuing to improve their asset turn ratio in the mid and long term.…

Working capital is the measure of a company’s efficiency and operating liquidity. The working capital is usually calculated by subtracting current assets from current liabilities. To find the Working Capital Ratio, divide current assets by current liabilities. Working capital can be positive or negative depending on how much debt the company currently has on its balance sheet. Generally, companies that have a lot of working capital will experience more growth in the future. These companies will be able to excel because they can expand and improve their operations using their existing resources.
