1 Automotive Salvage Trends: MAY 2010 IAA continues to see exceptional results in selling prices and returns for the month of May. As mentioned in the April 2010 Salvage Report, we expected some normalization of economic indicators to occur in May. Following a strong month of April, many of the economic indicators of salvage industry health leveled off during May. Prices of crushed auto bodies, platinum, and aluminum deviated slightly from their upward trends, which may affect prices for the low end vehicles sold at auction. The U.S. dollar appreciated fairly rapidly, following the demise of the euro and the state of the global economy. A strong U.S. dollar could challenge the purchasing power of foreign buyers and may depress commodity prices. Finally, average used car prices began to level off, declining slightly in May, as did the price of gasoline. By monitoring these indexes IAA is able to swiftly shift our buyer focus and marketing strategy to ensure a continued healthy bidding and buying environment resulting in continued aggressive returns. Scrap Metal: Whole Crushed Auto Bodies Following five consecutive month over month increases, the average price of whole crushed auto bodies fell just over 13 percent during May. Prices fell across all five zones, but still remained above prior year levels by percent. These prices are directly linked to the value of the scrap metals that make up automobiles. According to Bloomberg News, Risk aversion drove equities and metals lower, Eugen Weinberg, an analyst at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt, said today by phone. Metals now trade like financial instruments, and investor sentiment matters. (Chanjaroen, May 2010) A rapidly appreciating U.S. dollar may also be contributing to the lower prices of crushed auto bodies. While these prices may begin to put pressure on the value of low end vehicles sold at auction, our low end vehicle prices Whole Crushed Auto Body Prices (Dollars/ Gross Ton) are still well above historic levels. $0 $350 $300 $250 $200 $150 $100 $50 Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 Zone 4 Zone 5 Whole Crushed Auto Body Prices Jan-09 Feb-09 Mar-09 Apr-09 May-09 Jun-09 Jul-09 Aug-09 Sep-09 Oct-09 Nov-09 Dec-09 Jan-10 Feb-10 Mar-10 Apr-10 May-10 Source: American Recycler 1
2 Platinum and Aluminum Prices Following two months of consecutive price increases, monthly average platinum prices declined by 4.95 percent in May. However, prices were still percent higher than they were during the same time in The Wall Street Journal notes that, platinum, palladium and silver all tumbled with stocks as worries about the economy weighed on sentiment for industrial demand. Further pressure came from fears Europe s debt problems will slow its economy, plus efforts so far this year by China to cool its growth (Sykora, June 2010) Aluminum prices also declined in May, but did so at a greater rate than platinum (11.38 percent). As with the price of whole crushed auto bodies, low metal prices can be associated with lower prices of scrap vehicles at auction however, we continue to see selling prices above those of the previous year. $2,500 Platinum Platinum Prices (Dollars/Ounce) $2,000 $1,500 $1,000 $500 $0 Source: Johnson Matthey $1.60 Aluminum $1.40 Aluminum Prices (Dollars/Pound) $1.20 $1.00 $0.80 $0.60 $0.40 $0.20 $0.00 Source: International Monetary Fund 2
3 U.S. Dollar The month of May brought continued gains to the value of the U.S. dollar, which appreciated against the euro, the Mexican peso, and the Canadian dollar, but depreciated slightly against the Japanese yen. The U.S. Dollar Index, however, jumped to its highest level since May of last year. Bradley Davis of the Wall Street Journal attributes this spike to the performance of the U.S. economy and investor concern about the state of the global economy. Davis states, The dollar gained modestly against most of its rivals, taking advantage of the solid U.S. economic data, but also benefiting from investors shunning riskier assets as the good U.S. news wasn t enough to extinguish all concern over the euro-zone s sovereign debt (Davis, June 2010). The following charts illustrate how the euro has been on a path of depreciation against the dollar over the last few months. A strong dollar generally corresponds with price pressure on lower end vehicles sold at salvage auctions. Although we are continuing to see selling prices well above the previous year s levels, we will continue to monitor the US Dollar Index, as well as our foreign buyer purchasing activity. 85 U.S. Dollar Index Index Value Source: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 3

5 Average Used Car Prices/ U.S. Average Gas Price During the month of May, average used car prices declined by 0.82 percent over April, but still remained above levels observed last year by 5.49 percent. According to ADESA s Tom Kontos, average used car prices are nearing the area of 60 percent of new vehicle prices, which is generally the area where we observe a peak in used car prices. Regarding the historically high prices we have been observing in recent months, Kontos notes, The tight supply situation that is the fundamental driver to high wholesale used vehicle prices may be with us for quite some time, as fewer used vehicles were produced when new vehicle sales fell from approximately million per year from to approximately 13 million and 10 million, respectively, in 2008 and (Kontos, 2010) The average per gallon price of gasoline in the U.S., meanwhile, edged downward, declining by 0.71 percent over April. $12,000 Average Used Car Prices $4.50 U.S. Monthly Average Per Gallon Price of Gasoline Used Car Prices in U.S. Dollars $10,000 $8,000 $6,000 $4,000 $2,000 $0 Price per Gallon of Gasoline (U.S. Dollars) $4.00 $3.50 $3.00 $2.50 $2.00 $1.50 Source: Energy Information Administration Source: ADESA Analytical Services We will continue to monitor the market trends that affect salvage vehicle values and share updates as appropriate.
