Consolidation • Larger companies acquire smaller companies using affordable capital to grow
o Economies of scale – Provides goods/services relatively more efficient and at lower cost
o Consolidators will continue to acquire for two main reasons
– Furthers their competitive advantage – More transactions = better processes = lessens cost of acquisition
Source: Brad Mewes, Sep 2015
Consolidation will continue because it is a virtuous cycle

MARKET DYNAMICS Four Stages of Consolidation
• Stage 1: Fragmentation o Acquisitions are often “one off” in nature and tend to be opportunistic
• Stage 2: Acquisitions o Frequent and rapid at this stage -- scalability becomes key!
• Stage 3: Expansion o Less frequent but more focused -- core competency with the process
• Stage 4: Maturity o Acquisitions trickle to a standstill

MARKET DYNAMICS
What’s driving the strong M&A activity level? • Supply vs Demand • Strong revenues across value chain • Inexpensive Cost of Capital More recently • Smaller M&A transactions have become more attractive
- Acquirers seek to strengthen infrastructure positions within key aftermarket segments
• Low gas prices add to activity levels -- positive effect on discretionary spending - Increase in miles driven = more automotive maintenance

Supply Side • Number of service, repair, and maintenance facilities across the US has
decreased by 9% over 10 yr. period
• Jobber store averaging 0.4% decline year over year for past 10 yr. period o Only 1/3 of stores are in the west
– Stores count declining at a faster rate in the west (0.5%)
• Continued consolidation at all levels within supply chain o The pool of highly valued acquisition targets diminish with each M&A

• Unique value proposition • Instill and follow best practices -- Efficiency • 12-15% adjusted EBITDA (you must ‘bite the bullet’) • PE firms (financial buyers) threshold size
