5 IPSOS AND THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY 5 Centre for Proactive Marketing Proactive Insight Synovate 1991 2001 2004 2012 Ipsos has been commissioned to conduct market research on behalf of the South African Automotive industry since 1991 The research follows a syndicated format with various Original Equipment Manufacturers contributing ideas and funding. Any OEM can participate if they:  Supply customer names for interviewing  Agree to the rules of syndication  Participate in meetings / decisions regarding syndicate business in a transparent and open manner

6 The Competitive Customer Experience (CCE) component of the research focuses on the customer experience when making a new purchase or servicing a vehicle at a franchised dealership 6 02 ABOUT THE RESEARCH

7 7 CCE REPRESENTATION 25 000 interviews

8 FAQS 8 Who do we speak to? Where do we get the names from How do we interview them What Quality assurance is there? New vehicle owners and owners who have just had their vehicle serviced – within 35 days Supplied by OEMs, quality checked and submitted to CATI team Telephonically using CATI Four quality gates are in place ISO 20252 and ISO 9001 : 2000 compliant

9 QUALITY GATES 9 Gate 1: Format – Electronic data source (Warranty System, OEM Sales database) Gate 2: Pre-Quantity – Volume of records received, compared to NAAMSA reported dealer sales May not vary by more than 10% Gate 3: Pre-Quality – Record must contain each of the following: Individual’s surname A valid contact number (mobile or landline) A valid OEM model description Gate 4: Post Quality – The following outcomes of contact attempts are deemed to be errors in data: No such person Do not own vehicle Wrong number Sampling frame (customer names) managed via ‘Quality Gates’

10 RESPONDENT SELECTION 10 Random selection of respondents via an automated algorithm built into the CATI system All interviews are recorded Interviews only completed if the following is confirmed at the start of the interview: Customer identity Transaction date Dealership name Personal involvement in the entire Purchasing / Servicing process Not employed by a motor manufacturer or any of their dealers

11 ANALYSIS OVERVIEW 11 BEHAVIOURAL EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIP COMPLIANCE Customers are asked to rate a series of attributes using either a 10-point or 2-point scale An Index Score is derived as an average of all attribute ratings* Brands are grouped into ‘tiers’ based on statistically significant differences in scores** Quality Awards are only presented to brands within the top three ‘tiers’: Gold Silver Bronze *Each rating has an associated score from 0% - 100% in equal increments according to the rating. **Using confidence intervals calculated on a 95% confidence level. Results are weighted based on market share

12 Improvement strategies identified & implemented METHODOLOGY 12 Customer gives feedback about experience Dealership captures customer details on system Customer purchases / services vehicle at Dealership Manufacturer submits customer data to Ipsos Ipsos call-centre agent contacts customer Customer feedback extracted, processed and analysed Reporting is generated and issued to manufacturers CCE

17 MARKET SHARE PER BRAND 17

18 MARKET EVOLUTION 18 Maintaining and growing market share continues to become more challenging for South African Automobile Manufacturers in an increasingly unforgiving environment … Year-on-year new vehicle sales declined in 2014, following four years of post- recession growth. Current Dealer Sales are more or less on par with 2007 / 2008. Sales volumes are likely to remain under pressure in 2015 due to: New car price inflation Increasing overall living costs Yet consumers continue to be presented with more choices than ever before as the number of available Brands grows: Passenger Car Brands increased from 17 in 1994 to 45 in 2014 Light Commercial Vehicle Brands increased from 9 in 1994 to 26 in 2014
