Steven: Recently we added Dorman Products (NASDAQ:DORM). We've known this company at Royce for many years. Dorman Products is the dominant new-to-aftermarket dealer-only auto parts provider. Its unique structural advantage lies in its market intelligence as it relates to the failure rate of auto parts.
Specifically, the data collection and the database that it's amassed over time is really quite unique in the industry—no one has been able to replicate it. In addition to that, Dorman benefits from the fact that it is an asset-light production model. So margins are actually industry leading, close to 20% pretax. Return on invested capital is greater than 20%.
We also like the fact that Dorman management owns greater than 10% of the stock and the fact that the balance sheet is debt free. So Dorman, in our classic sense and definition of a Premier company, is a wonderful business moat. It has had the ability to compound over many years, and we believe that will continue.
