1 Deals Considering succession planning or selling your dealership? Our trusted advisors will help you achieve success on your terms

2 M&A spotlight: Driving for change Future outlook for the Canadian auto dealership industry Performance of dealerships has shown strong improvement as the market has recovered to pre-recession level. Damian Peluso Partner, PwC Automotive Leader 2 Achieving M&A success in Canada s auto dealership industry There s a lot of positivity within the Canadian auto dealership industry, which should come as no surprise given record sales that were almost unimaginable a few short years ago. According to the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), April new vehicle sales were up 5.7 percent to record an all-time best April in the history of the Canadian industry. That s not to say dealerships in Canada don t have their challenges. The need to meet increasingly stringent OEM standards and guidelines is having a major impact, especially on smaller dealerships in Canada. With a large number of owners at the age where retirement is starting to factor into their decision making, there s also the challenge of figuring out their succession plan or sales strategy. We believe these issues are poised to significantly change the dynamic of the auto dealership industry over the next few years. While distinct, the issues of capitalization and succession will likely drive increased M&A activity as owners look to sell. And, with over 3,200 automotive dealers in Canada, there is little doubt that industry consolidation offers significant opportunities for investors. Growing sophistication of OEM standards When it comes to the requirements for doing business, dealership costs keep getting higher. The capital costs to be in the business keep increasing, explains Damian Peluso, Partner, PwC Automotive Leader. As OEMs grow more sophisticated, brand and other standards become tougher. Every few years, an OEM comes to you and tells you they want to restyle the face of the building, or resurface the parking lot, or change the showroom, explains Allen Baker, a PwC Partner specializing in Private Company Services, who has worked with a number of Canadian dealerships. Such costs might not be a major issue for larger dealerships or dealership groups but for smaller ones, the need to make significant capital investments to address OEM demands on a regular basis can be challenging. That s why, as OEM guidelines and standards grow more complex and sophisticated, they will likely drive further M&A in the industry. For dealers that don t have access to the capital needed to meet changing standards, selling the business to an investor or dealership group with more capital may be the most viable option. Owners have to invest in complying with OEM brand standards, adds Eric Castonguay, Leader of PwC s Transportation and Logistics group. Or, when they sell, the new owner will need to commit to making the investments.

3 Managing succession For some dealerships, the need to make capital investments to address OEM requirements adds a second layer of complexity to an already challenging issue: succession planning. For owners who have built their dealership or dealership group up over twenty, thirty, or forty years, it can be difficult to think about succession. But without a plan in place, owners may not be able to achieve the outcome they desire. A lot of people [owners] aren t ready. They don t have the appropriate tax planning in place, whether from a corporate perspective or even a personal one, such as having a will, Peluso says. That s where most need to start. At the same time, any successor needs to be able to give the OEM confidence that the dealership will continue to be effective and will be able to operate within the standards and guidelines including making any required capital investments, if needed, once they take ownership. But when it comes to the OEM, there s no guarantee they will approve him or her, says Baker. OEMs have rejected succession plans from dealers because those new dealer principal candidates weren t appropriate. That s one of the reasons advance planning is so critical. It gives the owner time to build OEM confidence in the succession plan and for any successor to begin developing the appropriate relationships. In cases where members of the owner s family are not interested in taking ownership of the dealership, owners need to be far more proactive about sales opportunities. The challenge is that most dealerships are not ready for sale, which makes it harder for owners to get the price they believe their dealership is worth. The way a buyer will look at a company may be different than how they [the dealership] currently reports things, explains Castonguay. The reconciliation between what is reported and what the buyer wants to see is very important. For example, buyers will typically want to examine different revenue streams (e.g. new car sales, used car sales, body shop, service, financing and insurance). With blue sky multiples near all-time highs, dealers may be more open to considering a sale if the price is right. Private dealerships have been observed to sell for as much as 9.0X EBITDA based on brand and overall dealer performance PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP 3

4 Taking advantage of M&A opportunities Looking to the future, there s little doubt that M&A activity will continue to rise in the auto dealership industry presenting opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Larger groups will continue to be the most active, Peluso believes. They will grow in size. Groups that currently have 10 to 15 dealerships might grow to 20 or 25. There will also likely be growth in the number of public companies involved in the ownership of auto dealerships. The increasing prevalence of larger dealer groups is being driven by industry dynamics, states Castonguay. Many of these larger groups use M&A as a tool to strengthen their businesses, achieving back-office synergies, OEM diversification and geographic diversification. In fact, we believe that some of the consolidation will likely be driven by public companies. While Auto Canada is the only public company owner of multiple brand dealerships in Canada at present, it has been very successful paving the way for others. There s a lot of room and appetite from institutional investors in replicating Auto Canada s success, explains Castonguay. Moving ahead Given increasing investor interest and a relatively stable market outlook, there s no time like the present to consider possible M&A transactions whether as a buyer or a seller. The key is making sure that any transaction is well positioned to help you achieve your desired outcomes. As a dealer, this means avoiding surprises by doing your due diligence to prepare your business for sale, understanding who your potential buyers are, having a management succession plan, and doing the appropriate work needed to give the OEM confidence in your plan. This means doing your proper due diligence to identify the most attractive targets that can help you achieve your desired return, and making sure you have a plan in place that will drive OEM confidence so that you can move forward with their full support. 4 Achieving M&A success in Canada s auto dealership industry
