Other growth runways abound but remain in very early stages. Both heavy duty
and hybrid markets (<2% of revenue combined) have been relatively slow to develop. Yet
we believe segment sales could ultimately accelerate meaningfully given the heavy duty
market is highly consolidated and fleet orders can be impactful while DORM benefits as
first-to-market positioning in the aftermarket hybrid battery category. Similarly, with $58.1M
available under the current buyback program, we believe DORM could also drive improved
earnings growth with incremental repurchases (forecast $20M in 2H buyback).
Valuation/Risks
Our $56 price target is based on 18.7x our FY'16 EPS estimate of $2.99, a 9.7% premium
to DORM's 5 year historic forward P/E multiple of 17.0x, which we view as reasonable
given DORM's leading product pipeline and favorable industry fundamentals. Risks to share
appreciation include competitive, economic, consolidation and vendor specific risks.

Company Description
Dorman Products is a supplier of replacement parts and fasteners for both light vehicle and
heavy duty trucks in the automotive aftermarket. DORM designs, engineers and distributes
roughly 140,000 SKUs. DORM is the primary aftermarket supplier of OE dealer exclusive
parts which were traditionally available to consumers only from OE manufacturers.
Roughly 85% of products sold are name brand.

DORM
Initiating Coverage
October 20, 2015
Executive Summary
Industry leading product development creates high hurdle. We believe DORM is
the leading aftermarket parts innovator, known for re-engineering and introducing more
formerly dealer only parts into the aftermarket than any other parts developer. With
tailwinds from industrywide parts proliferation and increasing complexity, DORM has
leveraged a significant network of professional installers for idea generation and now
offers more than 140,000 SKUs and 57,000 unique parts across 150+ product categories.
Aggressive focus on new product development has contributed to double-digit revenue
growth with a 10.5% year CAGR well ahead of major customers (AAP, AZO, GPC, and
ORLY are roughly 65% of sales) mid-single digit comp expansion in the period. Ultimately,
rapid revenue growth has fueled robust earnings expansion over the same time period
(14.1% 5 yr CAGR). While we know of no industry peer with comparable historic sales
and earnings growth, we expect a modest deceleration in expansion rates as both the
law of large numbers and some disruption associated with recent SAP roll-out limit
growth in 15. Notably, following a record year of roughly 3,740 new parts introduced in
2014, we estimate parts introductions are up roughly 2% YTD (through Q2) while YTD
sales are also roughly 2.0% higher yr/yr against difficult comps (+20% 1H14 sales
growth) and inventory reduction related to customer consolidation. Although we believe
we have seen the trough in sales expansion and expect sales and margin recovery from
1H levels as SAP spending abates, we expect (barring acquisitions) that 5-year forward
growth likely trails the high bar set since 2010.
New technologies could make our more cautious growth outlook too
conservative. As a leader in product development and engineering we believe current
technology trends provide DORM with a strategic advantage. Notably, we expect
increasing penetration of sensors and coded products will favor parts developers such as
DORM that can re-engineer and improve OE products for aftermarket applications
without infringing upon intellectual property rights. Additionally, we expect that
technology trends will continue to drive higher average parts pricing, allowing greater
top line impact from new SKU introductions.
New markets provide expansion potential but ramp-up has been gradual.
Primarily a supplier to the traditional light vehicle aftermarket, DORM also sells into heavy
duty and hybrid vehicle channels. Both markets have been relatively slow to develop,
however, as heavy duty presently accounts for roughly 1% of revenue (<1% for electric).
While we believe segment sales could ultimately accelerate meaningfully given the heavy
duty market is highly consolidated and fleet orders can be impactful, modestly delayed
product rollouts have limited penetration to roughly 550 SKUs. The introduction of
aftermarket hybrid batteries in 2013 positions DORM for growth as the hybrid vehicle
market enters a battery replacement cycle, although penetration of HEVs across the
industry remains limited (roughly 1.2%).
A shifting growth strategy could be on the horizon. Historically cautious on the
acquisition front (one $3.7M acquisition in last 5 years hybrid battery remanufacturer),
we believe DORM could become more active in M&A to maintain its industry leading
growth rate. With a debt free balance sheet and ample free cash flow (+2% FCF yield), we
believe DORM has the ability to fund meaningful growth from bolt-on additions. We also
believe a macro trend of industry consolidation will accelerate as increased technology
content penalizes less sophisticated parts manufacturers and favors well-capitalized
engineering centric developers such as DORM. Given recently (9/24/15) announced
management changes, most notably the transition of Steve Berman to Executive
Chairman and Matt Barton to CEO (succeeding Berman), we believe DORM could be
positioning itself for a more acquisition oriented growth strategy.

Valuation
DORM has historically traded at a premium to peers given its above peer historical sales
and earnings growth rate and unique asset light engineering focused model. Our $56
price target is based on 18.7x our FY16 EPS estimate of $2.99, a 9.7% premium to
DORMs five-year historic forward P/E multiple (17.0x), and comparing favorably to
DORMs mean industry and S&P500 premiums of 25.0% and 14.7%, respectively. While
we believe DORM remains well positioned vis a vis secular trends we initiate coverage
with a Hold rating as we expect some potential pressure on valuation if street forward
growth expectations need to downshift to reflect the challenge of maintaining double
digit top line expansion in a business that has already grown substantially. Given our
expectations of increasing acquisition activity we remain favorably biased to the shares
and would become more constructive with improving growth visibility.
Risks
Competitive risk. DORM competes with both OE parts manufacturers and aftermarket
suppliers for vehicle service and maintenance share. A step back in product innovation or
the loss of certain customers (to competitors or direct source) would negatively impact
results.
Economic risk. Any adverse change in economic conditions could lead to lower
demand or increasing operational costs. Similarly, deteriorating conditions could impair
the ability of customers to pay for products purchased.
Consolidation risk. Customer consolidation continues to impact pricing negotiations
with Advance Auto Parts acquisition of General Parts International in January 14 serving
as a recent example. Customers may require DORM to provide extended payment terms
and returns of slow moving product.
Vendor risk. DORM purchases a majority of products sold from foreign vendors. Any
loss of a primary existing vendor could disrupt operations and drive higher prices.

Investment Considerations
We believe DORM is the industry leading aftermarket parts innovator with a history of
generating high growth and returns on capital via product re-engineering and a focus on
introducing formerly unavailable parts to the market. However, an expected modest
slowing in the pace of core business expansion and current premium valuation versus
historic mean levels warrants a more conservative approach to the shares at present. We
initiate with a Hold rating but believe DORM remains one of the strategically best
positioned parts developers in the aftermarket.

1,850) as seen in Chart 3. In DORMs all important new-to-the-aftermarket segment,
products typically associated with premium margins and high sell-through, introductions
have expanded at a roughly 14.0% CAGR (five yr). Notably, DORM utilizes a broad
network of professional installers to identify failure prone parts in a grass roots system of
idea generation for product development. As installers give feedback on high failure OE
parts or potential engineering improvements DORM then engineers a more reliable part
utilizing a staff of more than 350 engineers. Notably, as this feedback loop has gained
traction DORMs product development staffing has increased significantly over the last
five years, from 158 in 2010 to 361 as of FY14 end, ultimately driving incremental
products into the parts catalog. We note that as a supplier DORM receives particularly
strong reviews from the primary retail channel (AAP, AZO, ORLY, NAPA) as the
introduction of new to the aftermarket SKUs drives retail comps and the solution
centric product line is typically well received by mechanics who in many cases identified
the products for re-engineering.

Hurdles get higher as past successes elevate the bar for growth targets
While DORMs model is unique to the industry (and has proven to be the fastest growing
and most profitable), we believe some longer-term slowing of the historic double-digit
growth pace is likely as R&D staff are stretched to expand off of a dramatically increased
base. Notably, since 2005, DORMs sales growth has significantly outpaced the
automotive aftermarket (11.7% vs. 2.8% industry growth Chart 5).
In the shorter term, while YTD revenue growth (as of Q2) has decelerated to 2.0% yr/yr
(Chart 5) due to difficult comps (approached 20% y/y growth in 1H14), SAP disruption
and shipping delays experienced as a major customer integrates a meaningful acquisition,
we expect recovery in 2H15 as comps ease and SAP issues abate.

Industry Growth
Parts proliferation (unique SKUs per model year +54% in the current decade to more than
66,000 parts) has been a structural tailwind expanding DORMs addressable market, as
DORMs parts offering has grown substantially with SKU count now surpassing 140,000
(up from 70,000 in 2005). With a product offering spanning more than 150 categories,
we believe maintaining the pace of introductions becomes modestly more difficult as the
pace of parts proliferation in the industry lessens with more manufacturers focusing on
common platforms (Ex. Ford targeting 8 primary platforms vs 27 in 14). As outsized sales
growth leverages relatively light fixed overhead DORM has seen robust margin
expansion since 2005 (Chart 6). As customer concentration likely limits gross margin to
an upper bound we estimate to be in the area of 40%, we believe the ability to deliver
incremental EBIT margin will lie in fixed cost leverage from sustained sales growth.
Notably, 14 gross margin declined yr/yr (roughly 110 bps) due to mix shift and
competitive pricing pressures as customers (notably AAP) focused on lowering acquisition
costs in commodity (multiple source) products.

Groundwork for growth was built on product re-engineering
A primary driver of growth to-date, DORMs research and development spend has
increased roughly 28% (5 year CAGR). We expect continued robust expansion of R&D
spend as DORM looks to develop new products. We also anticipate a residual benefit
from past engineering headcount growth as the ramp in productivity appears to be a
several year curve.

DORMs robust sales growth and margin expansion has attracted competitors, most
notably Standard Motor Products TechSmart division in the re-engineered part space, as
well as traditional parts manufacturers copying DORM offerings in successful categories.
However, we note primary competitors have only small re-engineered parts offerings and
ramp will likely be a slow process given the need for substantial engineering staff and a
pulse on the installer channel to identify applicable high failure SKUs. We also note
retailers direct sourcing from Asia is unlikely to occur in DORMs product categories given
higher engineered parts complexity and the one-off nature of many products. Therefore,
we do not foresee a meaningful risk to DORM market share from retailer bias to direct
source lower cost parts. Historical and forecasted revenue growth is presented in Chart

Looking forward
As DORM looks to expand product offering, barring acquisitions, heavy duty and
hybrid/electric channels are the most visible growth legs. DORM launched a heavy duty
product offering in 2012, DORMAN HD Solutions. Since then, SKU count growth has
grown rapidly from 235 in 2013 to 550 in 2015, although still insignificant compared to
DORMs light vehicle offerings of more than 140,000 SKUs. Heavy duty segment revenue
remains a modest contributor at roughly 1% of sales ($7.5M). We believe growth could
ultimately be swift given that DORMs heavy duty customer channel is highly
consolidated with the potential for volume purchasing by fleet managers, while gross
margins associated with higher ticket HD SKUs would likely be accretive to aggregate
EBIT.

Aftermarket hybrid batteries have also been an emerging growth category for DORM.
DORM acquired Re-Involt Technologies, a hybrid battery remanufacturer, in May 2013 for
roughly $3.7M and launched their aftermarket hybrid battery program the following
September. With limited competition in the aftermarket hybrid battery space, we believe
DORM should benefit from a replacement cycle emerging in the early generation hybrid
fleet. While less than 1% of revenue, we believe the segment could be a considerable

growth opportunity for DORM given a first-to-market advantage. However, we note
overall penetration of hybrid/electric vehicles remains relatively small versus total vehicle

Recent management changes could portend a shifting strategy potentially in favor of
acquisitions. On 9/24/15, DORM announced previous CEO Steve Berman will transition
to the role of Executive Chairman while current President Matt Barton will take over as
CEO (Mr. Barton previously served as CFO of Dorman from 1999 to 2011 and has served
as President since 2011). As a founder of Dorman, we believe Mr. Bermans transition
from an operating role to a more strategic position may be geared to allow him more
time to focus on acquisition strategy and future growth versus daily operations.
We also note that concurrently with the above noted management changes, current CFO
Matt Kohnke announced his resignation effective 2/26/16. DORM has commenced a
search for a new CFO. Individual management team highlights are provided below.
Executive Chairman Steven L. Berman co-founded DORM in 1978. Mr. Berman has held
several positions with the company including Chairman and CEO (January 2011 to
September 2015), President (2007-2011), and Executive VP (1978-2011).
As mentioned previously, recently appointed CEO Mathias J. Barton has held several
roles with DORM. Most recently, Mr. Barton served as President (August 2013 to
September 2015). Mr. Barton also served as CFO (1999-2011). Prior to joining the firm in
1999, Mr. Barton served as Senior VP and CFO of Central Sprinkler Corporation.
CFO Matthew Kohnke has served in his current role since February 2011. Prior to his
appointment as CFO, Mr. Kohnke served as VP Corporate Controller from 2002 to 2011.
Mr. Kohnke joined DORM in 2002 from Arthur Andersen LLP as a manager in the Audit
and Business Advisory practice. As mentioned previously, Mr. Kohnke announced his
resignation effective 2/26/16. DORM has commenced a search for a new CFO.
Financial Outlook
The Financial Outlook section provides a more in-depth look at our forward looking
assumptions.
2015 and 2016 Outlook
Our FY15 (calendar year end) revenue estimate of $774M (roughly 2.9% yr/yr) assumes
mid-single digit 2H revenue growth as AAP ordering patterns likely rebound from
depressed low single digit first half levels. We forecast gross margin expansion of 50 bps
yr/yr to 38.7% in 15 as 14 was negatively impacted by mix shift and competitive pricing
pressures. Our operating margin estimate of 18.8% (+10 bps yr/yr) assumes SG&A
deleverage (roughly 40 bps yr/yr) given incremental costs associated with ERP conversion.
Our FY15 EPS estimate of $2.59 would represent a roughly 4.0% yr/yr increase from
FY14 ($2.49).
Our FY16 revenue estimate of $832M (roughly 7.5% yr/yr) assumes accelerating product
sell-through although we note our estimate falls short of managements double digit
growth goal. Our estimate does not assume any growth from acquisitions. We estimate
gross margin expansion of 20 bps yr/yr to 38.9% primarily driven by improved sales
leverage. We also estimate operating margin expansion of 120 bps yr/yr to 20.0% as
DORM laps ERP conversion related costs. Our EPS estimate of $2.99 would represent a
15.6% yr/yr increase from our 15 estimate of $2.59.

Valuation Analysis
DORM trades at a premium to peers given an innovative product pipeline, extensive
rapport with installers and above peer historical earnings growth rate. Our $56 price
target is based on 18.7x our FY16 EPS estimate of $2.99, a 9.7% premium to DORMs
five year historic forward P/E multiple (17.0x), and comparing favorably to DORMs mean
industry and S&P500 premiums of 25.0% and 14.7%, respectively. We also note our price
target comes in at 10.5x our outyear EBITDA estimate of $183M which compares to

I, David L. Kelley, certify that all of the views expressed in this research report accurately reflect my personal views about the subject security(ies) and

As is the case with all Jefferies employees, the analyst(s) responsible for the coverage of the financial instruments discussed in this report receives
compensation based in part on the overall performance of the firm, including investment banking income. We seek to update our research as
appropriate, but various regulations may prevent us from doing so. Aside from certain industry reports published on a periodic basis, the large majority
of reports are published at irregular intervals as appropriate in the analyst's judgement.
Valuation Methodology
Jefferies' methodology for assigning ratings may include the following: market capitalization, maturity, growth/value, volatility and expected total
return over the next 12 months. The price targets are based on several methodologies, which may include, but are not restricted to, analyses of market
risk, growth rate, revenue stream, discounted cash flow (DCF), EBITDA, EPS, cash flow (CF), free cash flow (FCF), EV/EBITDA, P/E, PE/growth, P/CF,
P/FCF, premium (discount)/average group EV/EBITDA, premium (discount)/average group P/E, sum of the parts, net asset value, dividend returns,
and return on equity (ROE) over the next 12 months.
Jefferies Franchise Picks
Jefferies Franchise Picks include stock selections from among the best stock ideas from our equity analysts over a 12 month period. Stock selection
is based on fundamental analysis and may take into account other factors such as analyst conviction, differentiated analysis, a favorable risk/reward
ratio and investment themes that Jefferies analysts are recommending. Jefferies Franchise Picks will include only Buy rated stocks and the number
can vary depending on analyst recommendations for inclusion. Stocks will be added as new opportunities arise and removed when the reason for
inclusion changes, the stock has met its desired return, if it is no longer rated Buy and/or if it triggers a stop loss. Stocks having 120 day volatility in
the bottom quartile of S&P stocks will continue to have a 15% stop loss, and the remainder will have a 20% stop. Franchise Picks are not intended
to represent a recommended portfolio of stocks and is not sector based, but we may note where we believe a Pick falls within an investment style
such as growth or value.
