The Amazon 2H’18 “Slowdown”
❑ Recent Q3 results & guidance for Q4 resulted in a material correction in the stock.
Was this due to: a softening in the consumer? (No)
• A change in the business model? (No)
• Increased competition? (Potentially)
• The Law-of-Large-Numbers? (Potentially)
• A strategy by management to temporarily slow the business? YES!
❑ We believe that management “took their foot off the accelerator” in the 2H to “tighten-up.”

The Amazon 2H’18 “Slowdown”
Why did they take their foot off?
1) Stronger-than-expected demand during 2017 created some less than ideal operational and
customer issues that management wanted buttoned-up.
2) Prime has reached such a high rate of penetration in the US, that management is now
transitioning the business’ growth to “wallet-share” from “new wallets”. Growth from wallet-
share is far more challenging and requires extremely strong execution. Consequently,
management wanted to “tighten-up” its assets and execution.
3) Given Amazon’s high penetration in core markets, Amazon has to now source significant new
areas of consumption such as experience and services. This likely entails a major acquisition.
Given their learnings from the Whole Foods acquisition, management needs to set up the
Amazon organization to more effectively integrate large acquisitions.

What does the Q4 guidance suggest?
1) Based upon what we interpolate, the guidance for total revenuegrowth ① implies -4% to
+16% growth for North America 1P & 3P Retail ②.
2) -4% is shockingly pessimistic and highly unlikely.
3) Consensus moved down to the high-end of implied guidance for North America. Consensus
③ is for +18% Total North America growth and +14% 1P & 3P North America Retail growth.

Gross MerchandiseValue
(GMV) is the total value
of merchandise sold on
Amazon.com from 1P
vendorsand 3P sellers.
The Amazon Flywheel is a commonly used expression to describe Amazon’s business model. The Flywheel effect is
where product and service offerings have self-reinforcing effects on Amazon and increase its ecosystem and business
momentum. One common example is Amazon offering lower prices, which begets more consumers and purchase
volume, which draws more brands and 3P sellers to Amazon.com, which expands the selection, which begets more
consumers and more purchase volume, which improves Amazon’s delivery route density, thus, allowing Amazon to
shorten shipping times which begets more shopper consideration, and so on a so forth.
Momentum is speed X mass. The larger the flywheel and the faster it spins, the larger its momentum. The larger a
flywheel’s momentum, the more difficult it is to slow, or stop.

What is Market-2?
1) Large enough to move the needle for Amazon.
2) Different segment of consumption than Amazon currently serves.
3) It needs to address a customer need, pain-point, or friction-point.
4) Increases the value and affinity of a Prime Membership.
5) Synergistic to Amazon’s current assets.
6) Scale & network-effect business model.
7) Contributes relatively quickly. This likely eliminates regulated industries.
8) Scalable globally.
9) It can not suggest over-reach by Amazon that alarms consumers or
regulators.
10)Given the above, it likely needs to disrupt the status-quo of an industry
and more likely an industry where the incumbents are taking too much in
economic rent.
