Sonic Automotive, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results - Record F&I Results and Total Gross Profit
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonic Automotive, Inc. (NYSE: SAH), one of the nation's largest automotive retailers, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2017.
Third Quarter 2017 Results
- EchoPark units retailed up 37.7% over the prior year quarter
- All-time record quarterly F&I gross profit and gross profit per retail unit of $92.9 million and $1,408, respectively
- Record Q3 total gross profit of $362.6 million, up 1.0% over the prior year quarter
- Repurchased 0.7 million Class A shares (approximately 1.5% of outstanding stock) for $11.4 million and declared $0.05/share dividend
- GAAP continuing operations net income of $19.7 million with EPS of $0.45 per diluted share
- Adjusted continuing operations net income of $17.4 million with adjusted EPS of $0.40 per diluted share
GAAP Basis
Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2017 was $19.7 million, or $0.45 per diluted share. These results include a gain related to the disposal of a franchise partially offset by charges related to fixed asset impairments, weather-related physical damage costs and legal matters.
Comparatively, net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2016 was $19.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. These results include charges related to fixed asset impairments and legal matters which were partially offset by favorable weather-related physical damage accrual adjustments.
Adjusted Basis
Adjusted net income from continuing operations and related earnings per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures. The schedules included in this press release reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2017 was $17.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted share. The adjustments in the 2017 quarterly period relate to a gain related to the disposal of a franchise and charges related to fixed asset impairments, weather-related physical damage costs and legal matters. Adjusted net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2016 was $21.2 million, or $0.47 per diluted share. The adjustments in the 2016 quarterly period relate to charges for fixed asset impairments and legal matters, which were partially offset by favorable weather-related physical damage accrual adjustments.
Commentary
B. Scott Smith, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, noted, "We would first like to thank all of the first responders and public officials that prepared people and their communities for the storms and then have been tirelessly working to help those in need. We know all of the work is not close to being completed and the road to recovery will be challenging. We will continue working with those affected to help them put their lives back together."
"The retail environment continues to be healthy with what we believe to be an adequate supply of credit and an ample supply of new and pre-owned inventory. We continue to see strong competition between dealers to acquire customers, which is putting pressure on margins notwithstanding the increase in incentives that we have seen in certain brands. Our build-out of EchoPark continues as planned and we anticipate opening in San Antonio, Texas in the first quarter and have an active schedule that will include the opening of approximately 10 additional EchoPark locations by the end of 2018."
Jeff Dyke, Sonic's EVP of Operations, stated, "The third quarter was similar to what we have seen for most of the year prior to the hurricanes in the Texas and Florida markets. Our Houston stores continued to struggle and BMW, which is about 30% of our profit structure, continues to be a major challenge. Hurricane Harvey closed all of our stores in the Houston market for about a week. Nearly 20% of our store count and 30% of our profit comes from the Houston market, which made the end of August a challenge. We were able to have the majority of our stores open within a few days, and by September 15, 2017, all of our stores were open and we began to help people replace and repair vehicles damaged by the hurricane. As a result of our national footprint and scale, we were able to ship in vehicles from around the country to ensure we had an adequate supply of inventory. Business was robust in Houston in the final half of September due to recovery efforts. We anticipate the retail activity in the Houston market in the fourth quarter of 2017 to continue to be favorable as those affected replace and repair vehicles."
"Hurricane Irma's effects on Sonic were less significant than those of Harvey, but still affected our operations from south Florida up into the Carolinas. We believe the threat of the storm kept customers away as they prepared for a storm that had an uncertain track as it approached and proceeded up the west coast of Florida. We did not see the level of sales activity rebound like we experienced in the Houston market as Irma's flooding was not as significant. The loss of power affected our south Florida stores and west coast Florida stores from between seven to nine days, but all stores were back in business by September 15."
"EchoPark continues its robust growth and our six stores combined were cash flow positive during the quarter. Our newest location in Colorado Springs was cash flow positive in its third month of operation, some six months ahead of the original EchoPark stores. We are very excited about the EchoPark brand and what we have been able to accomplish in the Colorado market."
Scott Smith continued, "We are dedicated to returning capital to our stockholders. We again declared a dividend of $0.05 per share in the quarter and repurchased approximately 667,000 shares of stock. Together, these two actions returned approximately $13.6 million to our stockholders."
"As stated in a previous press release, we estimate the negative impact experienced in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 due to the storms to be offset by a lift of increased automotive retail sales and service activity in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, we expect fiscal 2017 GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations to be between $1.55 and $1.65 and expect fiscal 2017 adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations to be between $1.85 and $1.95. We can add more color on this during our call today."
Dividend
Sonic's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share payable in cash for our stockholders of record on December 15, 2017. The dividend will be payable on January 12, 2018.
