Financial Performance of Warehouse Distributors Reported
2006 AWDA Financial Analysis Report Released by AAIA

BETHESDA, MD - Aug. 14, 2006 - The 2006 AWDA Financial Analysis Report, an industry-level study of Automotive Warehouse Distributors Association (AWDA) firms' financial results, is now available from the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA). This report is part of a two-part series, sold separately, with the 2006 AWDA Store Financial Profile.

The AWDA Financial Analysis Report has two sections; the first covers warehouse operations exclusive of company-owned stores and the second covers the combined activity of the warehouse and the store. Benchmarking data covered in the report include income statement data, balance sheet ratios and selected information for inventory, payroll, warehouse and store statistics for 2005 operations.

The AWDA Store Financial Profile provides comparative financial benchmarking statistics for aftermarket warehouse distributors' store operations. It is designed to provide guidelines based on individual store operations and is limited to revenue and expenses generally controllable at the store level.

The 2006 AWDA Financial Analysis Report and the 2006 AWDA Store Financial Profile are available to AAIA members for $99 each and to non-members for $199 each. To order a copy, call 301-654-6664 or download an order form online at www.aftermarket.org.
