6 SWOT Strengths: Small, but very competent and enthusiastic team. Located in Oslo close to ski-resorts and key accounts. Flexible, cost efficient organization. Strong network/contacts within trade Strong and proven sales skills In-house mechanical skills Access to key resources Weaknesses: New company/no track record Relatively limited capital base Opportunities: Channel segmentation Differentiation through service and good education on prod. Differentiation through follow- up and clinics on snow. Threats: Buying groups putting pressure on prizes through international agreements. Risk of pricing margins not allowing necessary investments.

7 The Ski Market A ski boom has taken place in recent years. More and more people are investing in high end products. Sport shops are putting more energy and money into the ski department. Market share of specialty ski stores selling high end skis has significantly increased over the last few years. Participation in outdoor activity, such as alpine skiing is also increasing significantly. Relative share of high end skis is expected to increase further. The total market is about 90.000 pairs A huge market opportunity is emerging as new consumers want to have access to high end skis

8 Retail Environment Buying group domination, but specialty stores are increasing Huge pressure on prices/margins Lack of knowledge at retail Few entities with professional business model A challenge to compete on product/price – critical to be cost- efficient, to excel on service and to differentiate Stöckli from other brands in-store.

9 The Competition RAMO: The biggest supplier today. Atomic and Nordica skis. Are distributing at all levels and are working with all the big buying groups in Norway. They have no differentiation. Large share of the racing market. BIOS: The Rossignol distributor. Also working with all the buying groups. No differentiation. Large share of the racing market. FINOR: The Fischer distributor. Same as RAMO and BIOS. Big on racing. SPORT SENSATION: The Dynastar distributor. Working with 3 big groups. XXL, NKL, and Anton Sport. High end ski shops. PETER HOLM AGENTURER: Blizzard supplier. Working with 3 groups. Sport 1, Sport 25 and MX sport. TENDENZER: Völkl supplier. Same distribution philosophy as Blizzard. Also working towards high end ski shops. Big on racing SALOMON: Selling to all buying groups. They are loosing their market position at the moment. Are not doing anything with the racing market. An obvious opportunity to increase the market share for Stöckli.

10 Key Strategies Build strong in-house competence in sales and service. Apply a well-defined distribution and segmentation strategy, with strong focus on key accounts in phase one. Focus on building relationship based on in-store presence and unique service. Be more on snow to let end consumer test and see the products.

11 Distribution Targets – to be discussed 2006 2007 2008 Key Accounts 15 25 40 Specialty Stores 5 10 20 Distribution philosophy will be based on a clear segmentation of the market, and with focus on quality stores. Focus year one will be to develop a strong relationship with key accounts. Focus also in year one on mountain shops on the biggest ski resorts in Norway
