Consumer spending is a main driver of the U.S. economy, ac-counting for 70% of U.S. GDP. Social distancing, lockdowns, and travel restrictions have taken an unprecedented toll on the con-sumer segment, of which retail and service industries are critical components. According to economists surveyed by the Wall Street Journal, retail sales in April are expected to fall 12.3% from a month earlier.
U.S. consumer prices are falling, with the pandemic pushing down consumer prices in April by the most since the Great Re-cession. Gas prices also took a hit, although any beneficial im-pacts on households is negated as Americans are driving less, and while households are purchasing more at stores, the price index for food at home posted its largest monthly increase since February 1974. Outside of food and energy, core prices saw the
largest monthly drop since 1957.
In May, the U.S. unemployment rate soared to 14.7%, the worst since the Great Depression. As the pandemic wears on, the longer-term viability of the economy will be determined by how quickly consumers can begin to visit businesses and resume nor-malized spending habits.
The consumer portions of M&A markets have shown persever-ance despite underlying economic uncertainties. While the mix of deals executed by strategic and financial buyers has re-mained consistent with historical norms, we look for strategic acquirors to comprise a larger portion of M&A activity while financial investors turn their focus inward to help their portfolio businesses manage through the crisis.

quarter during the prior two years. Wood Household Furniture,
Window Coverings, and Mattresses and Beds subsectors experi-
enced the most activity.
Hunter Douglas (AMS:HDG) remains an extremely active partici-

with an option to purchase the remainder of the business. Se-
lect Blinds, a Tempe, AZ based business achieved $94m in reve-
nue in 2019. Hunter Douglas acquired a 98% stake in 3 Day

company recently expanded to a 65k square-foot facility to ac-
commodate a surge in demand. Rich’s first acquisition of the
year, Rizzuto Foods, Inc., helped to amplify the company’s 40-

Resetting Grocery (Progressive Grocer, 05/07/2020)
While companies in all industries are occupied with ensuring the health and welfare of colleagues and customers in the face of unprece-
dented challenges, the grocery industry has proved vital to consumer livelihoods and the economy alike, serving weeks of demand in just a
matter of days. As many focus on the challenges of day-to-day operations, consumers have transitioned to online shopping in an unparal-
leled manner.
Research concludes that 28% of online grocery shoppers made their first online grocery order in the past four weeks, with many encounter-
ing an unsatisfactory experience. Some grocers are forcing shoppers to queue to enter their digital stores, while many grocers lack sufficient
delivery slots, forcing shoppers to check daily or even hourly to secure delivery. Unsurprisingly, 9 of 10 shoppers experienced out-of-stocks,
while 53% could not find a substitute for half or more of unavailable items. To serve consumers better, providers must adapt to being more
customer-centric by extending operating hours, holding larger inventories to reduce stock-outs, utilizing smarter substitution algorithms,
and providing for automated allocation of future delivery slots.
While retail continues to see a lack of product availability, wholesale channels have an abundance of product going to waste. According to
the Los Angeles Times, the wholesale channel has seen a collapse in sales of up to 90%. Many restaurants that are starved of their core
business are expanding to provide home delivery services, meal kits, to-go cocktails, etc.
One interesting innovation is the return of category specialists, like Chewy, which is benefiting from its depth of supply and focus. Digital
solutions providers have allowed consumers the ease of online ordering from several focused suppliers, which for some has proven easier
than browsing a single supermarket with tens of thousands of alternatives to sort through onscreen. Fintech innovations suggest the cus-
tomer experience from category specialists is superior to the one-stop-shop complexity of full-service retailers.
Fashion’s Digital Transformation: Now or Never (McKinsey & Company 05/06/2020)
The ability of apparel, fashion, and luxury companies to survive the crisis will greatly depend on their digital and analytics capabilities.
McKinsey sets forth a list of both short and long-term actions to allow AF&L businesses to build their digital and analytics capabilities to
emerge from the crisis in a position of strength.
Given the spike in email, social media, and digital channel usage during the crisis, brands are advised to communicate frequently despite
reduced discretionary spending habits. The online share of fashion and apparel in the EU and North America is expected to increase 20-40%
in the next six to 12 months; despite this, some larger brands are reducing their promotional activity to handle the volume of orders. In-
stead, brands should reallocate resources to shift attention online while simultaneously scaling up demand generation and fulfillment capa-
bilities. Further, brands should allocate a greater share of their marketing budgets to digital channels to provide greater leverage as de-
mand rebounds.
Shoppers Still Favor Stores Over Online During Crisis (Supermarket News, 04/20/2020)
A survey of over a thousand Americans in early April shed light on the unique insight that 70% of respondents are still visiting stores to buy
groceries rather than ordering online, despite increased health risks, social distancing measures, and government warnings to stay home.
Given the surge in panic purchases, 60% of consumers have gone without products or service, while 47% have paid more for something
than they normally would. Items at the top of consumers shopping lists include frozen food (65%), cleaning products (56%), and toilet paper
(53%).
Inventory shortfalls have many customers wrestling with brand loyalty; research showed that 18-24 year-olds are much more open than
older consumers to try a new product or service in light of a shortfall of a desired product. Among many revealing insights was consumers’
willingness to buy another brand, but not a different product. A positive sentiment for hard-hit retailers was the fact that 77% of respond-
ents exhibited a high level of trust in retailers, service providers, and brands, and the recognition of America’s essential workforce.

How Consumer-Goods Companies Can Prepare for the Next Normal (McKinsey & Company 04/17/2020)
As shutdown measures are expected to lead to the largest quarterly decline in economic activity since WWII, an unprecedented 40-50%
decline in discretionary spending is expected to translate to an 8-13% decline in GDP. Many CPG companies have withstood the initial eco-
nomic shock, but they will need to prepare for longer-lasting effects. McKinsey outlines five emerging trends in the consumer and retail
landscape that are expected to persist in the aftermath of the crisis.
Social distancing measures have increased the consumption of online media and have significantly accelerated e-commerce, particularly in
developed countries like the United States and the UK. Amazon, for instance is expected to build momentum in fresh food and packaged
goods. A sustained rise in attention to wellness and hygiene is expected to endure. As such, consumers are investing in at-home exercises;
Amazon’s fitness equipment sales spiked by approximately 60% each week in March in Germany and the UK. Large CPG companies are ex-
pected to continue to prioritize social responsibility through media communications, while at the same time exercising caution so as not to
exploit the crisis as a commercial opportunity. In redefining a corporations statement of purpose, striking the right balance between ex-
isting focus areas and emerging consumer concerns will be key in winning long-term consumer loyalty. Channel shift, including food-service
closures, retailer consolidation, and the emergence of quick-service restaurants will require some CPG players to reassess their supply-chain
complexity and to refocus their channel strategies.
Online Grocers Are Getting a Preview of Their Future (Wall Street Journal, 03/27/2020)
As the number of U.S. households ordering groceries online roughly doubled in March to 40m, grocers are being tested—and are by and
large failing. Despite growing investment in online marketplaces, grocers across the world were not ready for the current levels of demand.
Before the outbreak, just 3.1% of groceries were purchased over the web in the United States, compared to 7.6% in the U.K. A nascent in-
frastructure proved harder to meet the ramp-up required to fulfill online capacity.
The rush of online orders is providing grocers with a unique opportunity to learn to allocate delivery slots efficiently in times of peak de-
mand, in addition to providing real-time testing of different order-fulfillment methods from manual picking in stores to dedicated online
warehouses. Operating on already thin margins, grocers need time to manage the shift online, as sales delivered to a shopper’s home are
far less profitable than those made in stores. Despite the current struggle, many retailers are betting that the surge in online demand will
endure, providing hope that grocery e-commerce business should largely be transformed after this crisis.
Subscription Companies Make Quitting Easier (The Wall Street Journal, 02/25/2020)
Companies selling subscriptions to products have been engaged in fierce competition, with many attempting to appeal more to consumers
by allowing subscribers to quit. ClassPass, for instance, is phasing out a live-chat feature that it forced customers to contend with when
they canceled a class, and it will be rolling out a technology to automate its cancellation process. The company believes in a growing desire
for frictionless cancellation, especially for subscription services.
Companies that previously used onerous policies and processes to retain customers beyond trial periods and who previously discouraged
customers from canceling later have been exposed for difficult cancellation policies, and they are aware that in building a long-term rela-
tionship with the customer, using sneaky terms is not a favorable way to generate trust. The Honest Co. and Rent the Runway both changed
policies that previously required subscribers to call and speak to a member concierge before they could cancel. According to the Wharton
School of the University of Pennsylvania, easy cancellation policies can help businesses to lure in more subscribers and encourage custom-
ers to come back even well after they have left.
