Asbury Automotive Group Announces Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

DULUTH, Ga., July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: ABG), one of the largest automotive retail and service companies in the U.S., today reported net income for the second quarter 2017 of $31.9 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, compared to $36.7 million, or $1.65 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. It also reported adjusted income from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) for the second quarter 2017 of $33.2 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, compared to $36.6 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter, a 4% decrease in adjusted earnings per share.

Income from continuing operations for the second quarter 2017 was adjusted for $2.9 million of pre-tax real estate related charges, or $0.08 per diluted share and $0.8 million of pre-tax investment income, or $0.02 per diluted share.  There were no adjustments for the second quarter 2016. See attached reconciliation for reported adjustments related to both of these periods.

Total revenue for the second quarter remained flat at $1.6 billion compared to the prior year period; total revenue on a same-store basis (a non-GAAP measure) was up 2% from the prior year period.

  • New vehicle revenue remained flat; gross profit decreased 14%

"In a softening automotive retail environment, we are pleased to have increased our same store revenue and gross profit by 2% this quarter compared to the prior year," said Craig Monaghan, Asbury's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Despite market pressures, we believe we can deliver low to mid-single digit EPS growth in the back half of the year."

"Even though we experienced margin pressure, our ability to drive incremental Used Sales, enhance F&I PVR, and grow Parts and Service enabled us to deliver industry leading operating margins," said Asbury's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, David Hult. "Our investments in digital technologies and lead management initiatives are yielding solid results and we will continue to invest in this area in the future."

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported total revenue of $3.2 billion, flat with the prior year period. Total revenue on a same-store basis was up 2%.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure and Reconciliation


In addition to evaluating the financial condition and results of our operations in accordance with GAAP, from time to time management evaluates and analyzes results and any impact on the Company of strategic decisions and actions relating to, among other things, cost reduction, growth, and profitability improvement initiatives, and other events outside of normal, or "core," business and operations, by considering certain alternative financial measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures include "Adjusted leverage ratio," "Adjusted income from operations," "Adjusted income from continuing operations," " Adjusted operating margins," and "Adjusted diluted earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations." Further, management assesses the organic growth of our revenue and gross profit on a same store basis. We believe that our assessment on a same store basis represents an important indicator of comparative financial performance and provides relevant information to assess our performance at our existing locations. Same store amounts consist of information from dealerships for identical months in each comparative period, commencing with the first month we owned the dealership. Additionally, amounts related to divested dealerships are excluded from each comparative period. Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under GAAP and may be defined differently by and not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures considered and evaluated by management are reviewed in conjunction with a review of the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management cautions investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. In their evaluation of results from time to time, management excludes items that do not arise directly from core operations, or are otherwise of an unusual or non-recurring nature. Because these non-core, unusual or non-recurring charges and gains materially affect Asbury's financial condition or results in the specific period in which they are recognized, management also evaluates, and makes resource allocation and performance evaluation decisions based on, the related non-GAAP measures excluding such items.  In addition to using such non-GAAP measures to evaluate results in a specific period, management believes that such measures may provide more complete and consistent comparisons of operational performance on a period-over-period historical basis and a better indication of expected future trends. Management discloses these non-GAAP measures, and the related reconciliations, because it believes investors use these metrics in evaluating longer-term period-over-period performance, and to allow investors to better understand and evaluate the information used by management to assess operating performance.



The following tables provide reconciliations for our non-GAAP metrics:
