Automotive Aftermarket Sector Update January 2013

Welcome to the first issue of the Harris Williams & Co. Transportation & Logistics (T&L) Automotive Aftermarket Sector Update. We hope to use this forum to keep you (investors, senior managers, entrepreneurs, and others focused on the auto aftermarket) up to speed on what we are seeing in our sector, apprised of industry news and events, and connected to the auto aftermarket companies that we are fortunate to work with everyday.

We hope to bring you transcripts of relevant discussions we have with senior industry professionals, like this month’s discussion with Michael Klein, Chief Executive Officer of IDQ. We also want to keep you apprised of the transactions we are executing in the various sub-sectors, including suppliers, distributors, retailers, and service providers.

We hope you enjoy reviewing this newsletter, and please email us your thoughts and opinions. We want to ensure that this newsletter is informative and helpful as you continue to focus on the automotive aftermarket space.

HW&Co.: Key trends in the automotive aftermarket, including a growing light vehicle car population and increasing average age of light vehicles, continues to provide support for the growth of aftermarket products and services. How are these overall macro trends impacting IDQ? The broader industry? What opportunities will these macro trends create in the market going forward? Michael Klein (MK): A sluggish economy has convinced more consumers to seek cost-saving DIY (“Do it Yourself”) solutions. This has benefited nearly every major retailer (see the recent stock performance of O’Reilly Automotive and AutoZone for example) and suppliers to those retailers. While the light vehicle car population is growing, the key variable for all of us is the increasing age of the fleet, which is resulting in the need for increased maintenance and repair, including the recharging of air conditioning systems. HW&Co.: In recent years, the aftermarket has seen a shift in the growth of the DIY and “Do-It-For-Me” (DIFM) market segments. Do you see changes in either market with a continuing recovery in the economy? What types of industry players should be best positioned to take advantage of any changes in the market? MK: While OE sales have risen a bit over the last few years, I think the growth in the DIY channel will be permanent for many categories, including the aftermarket. Consumers need to save money and have learned that there are ample opportunities to save by servicing and repairing their own vehicles. Leading retailers such as O'Reilly, AutoZone, and Advance Auto are in the best position to service those consumer needs given their breadth of inventory and near-national footprints. HW&Co.: Given continued economic uncertainty, what indicators are you focused on for signs of growth or weakness in the economy? What impact, if any, will this have on investment decisions at IDQ? What are you hearing from your CEO peer group regarding future investment? MK: We look closely at miles driven and the price of gasoline, as these seem to be some of the bellwethers for the industry - though by far the biggest factor for us is extremes in weather (especially when you are selling air conditioning products!). I think most suppliers continue to be cautiously optimistic about the long-term growth prospects of the aftermarket, and the smart ones are investing alongside their retail partners. At IDQ, we are investing heavily in the aftermarket and are positioning ourselves to benefit from ongoing industry growth, alongside our retail partners. As an example, we recently launched an entirely new brand of products under the AC PRO name after an exhaustive 3-year study and investment. This new brand has been extremely well received by both retailers and consumers alike. HW&Co.: What strategies are you implementing at IDQ to become more valuable to your customers?

Automotive Aftermarket Sector Update January 2013

MK: IDQ has always been about providing solutions for both consumers and retail partners, and we continue to drive valued innovation in the category. We have embarked on a nationwide marketing campaign for our AC PRO line to heighten consumer awareness about air conditioning recharge products (many consumers don't realize they can restore their cold air in 10 minutes with our product and save themselves hundreds of dollars). We have also strengthened our "back office" support for the category by launching social media platforms, increasing our category management tools (which our overworked customers love since it shifts these responsibilities from them to us), and providing valuable regulatory support and awareness (for example, this year we led the successful effort in Wisconsin to repeal a 1993 ban on DIY use of air conditioning products). HW&Co.: What are you seeing in terms of the M&A environment within the aftermarket? What do you think are the key drivers of a successful M&A strategy? MK: There has been less M&A activity than I would have anticipated over the last several months. On the public company side, many of our retail partners are experiencing strong growth in their stock prices, driving high potential valuations. On the private company side, I expect M&A volume to rebound over the coming months. I think one of the key drivers for prospective purchasers is to have a long-term perspective and begin building relationships with potential partners early. As the CEO of a leading aftermarket business, I understand the importance of having a true partnership with an equity sponsor. On the supplier side of the industry, I expect further consolidation and anticipate increased efficiency and customer service in the category as a result. HW&Co.: Given the attractive dynamics in the industry, clients regularly ask us for best practices in identifying attractive aftermarket investment opportunities. What words of advice would you give to those seeking investment opportunities in the sector? MK: Do your homework - talk to our trade association to learn about industry trends and outlook, talk to retail customers to really learn what is on their minds, spend time in retail stores, and watch what consumers are buying. The aftermarket is not an incredibly complex industry, but it does require a lot of "belt and suspenders" research. While I encourage your clients to use their resources for due diligence, don't rely on a third party "expert" to do the hard work of truly understanding the industry. HW&Co.: Here is a question that we could only ask of a true Detroit guy: Will the World Series sweep get the Tigers fired up for next season or crush morale heading into next year? MK: No one is more resilient than a Detroiter - we have suffered through over 55 years of the Lions! With the Tigers, we were a victim of circumstance this year - the six day layoff waiting for the Giants to finish their playoff killed us! Next year, we will be very hungry, and having Torii Hunter and Victor Martinez to support Miguel Cabrera will undoubtedly lead to future World Series success (though I personally wish they would wrap up the Series in late September/early October so I am not freezing at the ball park)!

Heartland is a franchisee of quick lube retail service stores for automotive needs.

U.S. Auto Industry has its best year since 2007: The Detroit Free Press reports that the U.S. auto industry experienced a successful 2012, with major producers reporting large sales increases. Companies posted December sales of 1.36 million cars and trucks, up 10% over last year. Sales gains occurred despite a sluggish economy and as the industry continues to cut sales incentives, which fell 5.1% for the year.

Despite disconnect in recent years, miles driven outlook has been overlooked as a barometer of the aftermarket’s growth potential: The AASA’s special report on forecasting aftermarket growth warns that significant growth in the aftermarket industry will need to be driven by increases in miles traveled, despite the aftermarket’s resilience as miles driven has stagnated in recent years. The EIA expects significant growth through 2035, but at a slower rate than the pre-recession period. This potential future tailwind is not being captured in many analyst expectations and could fuel aftermarket growth over the long term.

Spike in lease terminations and softening of used car prices to affect 2013 car sales: Business Wire reports that the latest Edmunds report on 2013 auto sales shows 500,000 more lease terminations than 2012, which will bolster sales despite uncertain economic trends. Edmunds senior analysts predict four percent growth in car sales for 2013 to 15 million new vehicles. Other factors affecting car sales include used car prices softening $200-300 per vehicle from 2012 prices.

How innovation is shifting the role of OEM and aftermarket parts suppliers: Booz & Co. reports in its new 2013 Automotive Industry Perspective that suppliers are playing increasingly important roles in R&D historically reserved for OEMs. As renewed focus is placed on serving significant demand for technological innovation for a variety of automotive applications, OEMs are cutting back on R&D costs, shouldering them on suppliers. Suppliers will need agility in evaluating innovation opportunities in order to continue to thrive.
