BB&T Capital Markets (“BB&T”) and the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association(“AASA”) are pleased to bring you the 2015, and fifth annual, Automotive Aftermarket M&A Overview.This publication, which is a collaboration between BB&T and AASA, is intended to serve as a review ofnotable deals and deal trends in the automotive aftermarket in 2015. It also looks forward to the dealmarket in 2016 and beyond.

Transactions have played and will continue to play an increasingly important role in thetransformation of the aftermarket. Deals have the power to change the market, alter the customerbase, and challenge companies’ competitive positions. The aftermarket provides investors, whetherstrategic or financial, with above market returns for what is otherwise below market risk. Couple thiswith what is still a very fragmented aftermarket and we anticipate M&A deal volume will remainstrong.

This publication is an effort by BB&T and AASA to ensure that companies in the aftermarket –and the investors behind them – understand what is happening in the market and stay ahead of thecurve on transaction trends.

Thank you,

2015 saw a new high in the number of M&A deals closed

− Buyers, both strategic and financial, remain flush with cash, and continue to pursue acquisitions aggressively

− Strategic buyers continue to use M&A to expand market share and drive growth

− Although the Federal Reserve began to raise interest rates during the fourth quarter, rates remain nearhistoric lows and debt availability supports continued high levels of leverage

− Elevated levels of dry powder and cheap financing are driving financial sponsors to aggressively pursuequality acquisition targets and allowing firms to offer more competitive bids

In the U.S., there were 12,880 M&A transactions across all industries in 2015

− 2015 deal volume outpaced 2014 by 8.1%, as improving macroeconomic dynamics and favorable lendingconditions emboldened acquirers

− Private equity continues to play an active role in the middle market, having a positive and increasinglyimportant impact on the number of M&A deals

Strategic & Private Equity Buyers Maintain Historic Levels of Buying Power Despite Significant M&A Activity

Although acquirers continued to aggressively deploy capital in M&A transactions throughout 2015, strategicand private equity buyers maintain substantial purchasing power

− The aggregate cash balances of S&P 500 companies increased to a historical high of $1.44 trillion and theprivate equity community continued to fundraise at a significant pace

Credit markets remained robust throughout 2015

− 2015 leverage multiples were near pre‐recession highs

− Leverage multiples began to compress in large cap deals toward the end of 2015, but this contraction didnot reach the middle market

Private equity firms continue to own an historically high number of companies as a result of the record pace offundraising and elongated hold periods

− The median hold period for portfolio companies decreased meaningfully in 2015, but remains near historichighs

− The number of private equity‐backed companies has grown every year over the past decade and exceeded6,000 companies by year‐end 2015

The combination of firms aggressively seeking to deploy capital along with the pressure to exit their currentinvestments signals that private equity deal activity will likely remain strong

Icahn Enterprises (NasdaqGS:IEP), a New York‐based conglomerate with investments across a broad range ofindustries, made headlines in December when it prevailed in a heated bidding war with Japanese tire companyBridgestone Corp. to acquire Pep Boys – Manny, Moe & Jack during the fourth quarter of 2015

− The deal, which closed on February 2, 2016, is valued at approximately $1.3 billion

The transaction comes on the heels of Icahn’s $340 million acquisition of Uni‐Select USA, Inc. and Beck / ArnleyWorldparts, Inc. (now collectively IEH Auto Parts, also known as “Auto Plus”), which closed on June 1, 2015

− Auto Plus subsequently acquired five distributors / installers across the U.S. during the fourth quarter of2015

The firm also owns 82% of Federal‐Mogul (NasdaqGS:FDML), a leading supplier of OE and aftermarket parts

− Icahn then made a bid to acquire the remaining 18% of Federal‐Mogul in February 2016

Icahn Enterprises’ aftermarket holdings now span the entire supply chain, from parts manufacturing throughdistribution and retail, to professional installation and service

The Collision Sector Continues Along Its Crash Course to Further Consolidation

The Four Largest Collision Operators More Than Tripled Their Stores in Four Years

The four largest collision operators (ABRA Auto Body & Glass, The Boyd Group, Caliber Collision, and Service King) have more than tripled their store count in just the past four years

− They currently control nearly 15% of the collision market

The major drivers of consolidation are:

− Scale economics

Increases purchasing power and allows overhead to spread over more units

Enables a better product and / or service offering

− Industry forces

Ever increasing investment required to meet the carriers’ demands for better, faster, and more comprehensive repair programs

Role of carriers in the industry amplifies the power of scale economies due to their role in dictating volume and their ability to accurately measure product quality 

Increasingly complex repairs require more training and more equipment management

− Aggressive sources of capital

Significant dry powder, favorable credit markets, and pressing private equity fund dynamics have enabled and accelerated the rate of consolidation

We believe these forces will continue to drive significant consolidation in the future

− However, with the number of multi‐shop operators with more than 20 locations dwindling, the four largest operators will be ever more reliant on tuck‐ins and organic growth

Deconstructing the Performance Aftermarket

The performance aftermarket is a $3.2 billion segment of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (“SEMA”)

Despite increasing M&A activity in recent years, the sector remains highly fragmented, which creates significantopportunities for both incumbents and new entrants to acquire quality assets and build platforms of scale froman operational as well as a financial perspective

− Private equity groups are increasingly aware of the opportunities for professional managers to unlock value inwhat are often closely‐held small businesses

Expect a persistent level of M&A as incumbents consolidate to offer more to their customers and outperformcompetitors and as institutional investors continue to make platform investments and seize consolidationopportunities

M&A Remains at the Forefront of the Performance Aftermarket; Stay “Tuned” for More

Automotive telematics, the concept of interconnected vehicle systems that monitor and store a variety ofinformation, has come to the forefront of the automotive industry in recent years

− Advancements in telematics have a number of practical applications for end‐users including navigation,mobile device connectivity, and emergency warning systems

− Telematics assists commercial users such as fleet operators and independent service providers bytransmitting vehicle diagnostics, fleet tracking, and controlling emissions and fuel

Nearly 90% of new cars across the globe will include integrated telematics by 2025 and the market for suchtechnology is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 22.7% from 2012 through 2016

Simply put, consumers are not equipped to navigate the increasing complexity of automobiles alone, which inturn will have a positive long‐term impact on the DIFM channel, in which dealers and non‐chain independentsare expected to experience the most revenue growth among DIFM outlets

The favorable industry drivers supporting M&A for the last three years continue to look positive

− The BB&T Aftermarket Index1 gained 4.7% versus the S&P 500’s (0.7)% in 2015

Retailers & Distributors, Collision, and Suppliers each outgained the S&P, while Independent Service Providers & Dealers lagged

Sales growth is expected to drive sector performance in 2016

− Favorable tailwinds support continued aftermarket growth from a macro perspective

Light vehicle fleet is projected to grow to 257 million light vehicles by 2016

Average age of vehicles on the road at a record high of 11.5 years and is expected to creep upward

New light vehicle sales are expected to approach 18 million in 2016

Miles traveled continues to climb, supported by depressed gas prices 

We expect deal activity in 2016 to remain on par with 2015

– Strategic and private equity buyers maintain near‐record levels of cash and continue to face mounting pressure over time to deploy it in acquisitions or return it to shareholders or limited partners

– Macroeconomic conditions improved throughout 2015 and are showing cautiously optimistic signs of stabilization after several months of turmoil to close 2015

– Aftermarket companies have recognized the consolidation opportunities that abound and are pursuing them 

– Barring significant economic turmoil, we expect that interest rates will continue to rise in 2016, which will present a challenge to strategic buyers in reducing corporate cash flows and in access to cheap capital for private equity buyers

We noted in last year’s report that rates could not remain low forever and would begin to rise in 2015

Expect a Steady Level of M&A in 2016
