Group 1 Automotive Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Strong Replacement Demand in Texas & Improved Profitability in the U.K. and Brazil Delivers Record Operating Results

HOUSTON, Oct. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Group 1 Automotive, Inc. (NYSE: GPI), ("Group 1" or the "Company"), an international, Fortune 500 automotive retailer, today reported 2017 third quarter net income of $29.9 million, diluted earnings per common share of $1.43, adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) of $46.6 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per common share (a non-GAAP measure) of $2.23.

Third quarter 2017 adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share exclude approximately $16.8 million of net, after-tax adjustments, or $0.80 per share, for non-core items. These adjustments primarily consist of costs directly associated with Hurricane Harvey of approximately $9.0 million after-tax, or $0.44 per share; and, franchise right impairments of $5.9 million after-tax, or $0.28 per share. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.

"While the Company's third quarter results were negatively affected by both the non-recurring costs from Hurricane Harvey, as well as business disruption for more than a week across our largest revenue-generating market, strong demand for replacement vehicles in September provided significant financial recovery," said Earl J. Hesterberg, Group 1's president and chief executive officer. "We expect this recovery to continue for a number of months, as the region continues to rebuild from Hurricane Harvey's widespread impact. Our overseas businesses were also positive factors in our third quarter results. Although the U.K. new vehicle market declined roughly nine percent in the third quarter, we significantly outperformed the industry with our Same Store new vehicle unit sales rising 2.9 percent. Our used vehicle and F&I businesses were up almost 10 percent driving a total Same Store revenue increase of nine percent on a local currency basis. In Brazil, our operations delivered another quarter of profitability, with gross profit up 19.4 percent on a Same Store constant currency basis, reflecting continued double-digit growth in used, aftersales, and F&I. Our combined performance in all three markets delivered record revenues, gross profit, and adjusted earnings for the quarter."

Consolidated Results for Third Quarter 2017 (year-over-year comparable basis)

For ease of comparison, we have included constant currency metrics (a non-GAAP measure) both below (shown in parenthesis) and in the financial tables that follow:

  • Total revenue increased 6.7 percent (increased 6.6 percent) to a record $3.0 billion; total gross profit increased 6.1 percent (increased 6.0 percent) to a record $431.4 million.
  • New vehicle revenues increased 7.7 percent (increased 7.5 percent) on a 6.0 percent increase in unit sales. New vehicle gross profit increased 9.8 percent (increased 9.6 percent) to a record $88.3 million. U.S. new vehicle margins were up 6.1 percent, or $108 per unit, to $1,891.
  • Retail used vehicle revenues increased 5.8 percent (increased 5.7 percent) on a 4.1 percent increase in unit sales. Retail used vehicle gross profit increased 2.5 percent (increased 2.5 percent) to $47.1 million as the unit sales increase was partially offset by a slight margin decrease of 1.4 percent (decreased 1.5 percent), or $20 per unit, to $1,372.
  • Parts and service gross profit increased 6.8 percent (increased 6.7 percent) on revenue growth of 7.4 percent (increased 7.3 percent). Same Store parts and service gross profit increased 4.5 percent (increased 4.4 percent) on revenue growth of 5.1 percent (increased 5.0 percent). U.S. Same Store parts and service revenue increased 4.7 percent.
  • Finance and Insurance (F&I) gross profit per retail unit (PRU) decreased 2.9 percent (decreased 3.0 percent) to $1,343 per retail unit. Adjusted F&I gross profit PRU (a non-GAAP measure) increased 2.8 percent (increased 2.8 percent) to $1,422, reflecting increases in all three regions.
  • Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percent of gross profit increased 260 basis points to 76.1 percent. Adjusted SG&A expenses as a percent of gross profit (a non-GAAP measure) decreased 80 basis points to 72.8 percent.

 

Segment Results for Third Quarter 2017 (year-over-year comparable basis)

    The Company's U.S. operations accounted for 76.4 percent of total revenues and 82.0 percent of total gross profit. On a Same Store basis, U.S. revenues were $2.3 billion, an increase of 1.5 percent. Adjusted U.S. revenue (a non-GAAP measure) increased 1.8 percent, reflecting 3.6 percent growth in new vehicles and a 4.7 percent increase in aftersales revenue. The aftersales growth came in spite of losing more than a week of operations in the key markets of Houston/Beaumont, Miami, and portions of the Gulf Coast. Total U.S. Same Store gross profit grew 2.1 percent. Adjusted total U.S. Same Store gross profit (a non-GAAP measure) increased 4.0 percent.

Total Same Store revenue grew 8.8 percent and total Same Store gross profit grew 8.6 percent, both on a constant currency basis. This gross profit growth was driven by a 22.2 percent increase in total used vehicle gross profit, a 10.6 percent increase in aftersales gross profit, a 9.8 percent increase in F&I gross profit, and a slight increase of 0.5 percent in new vehicle gross profit, all on a constant currency basis.

Corporate Development

As previously announced in July 2017, the Company acquired the Beadles Group Ltd in the U.K., which expanded the dealership footprint in the region to 43 stores, with expected annual revenues of $330 million. Also in July 2017, as previously announced, the Company acquired its first Jaguar and Land Rover dealerships in the U.S., which are located in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico, and have projected annualized revenues of $40 million. Additionally, as previously announced in August 2017, the Company acquired Audi Forth Worth in Texas, which has an expected annualized revenue of $55 million.  In October 2017, the Company closed a SEAT brand sales operation in Watford, England, which generated approximately $10 million in trailing-twelve-month revenues.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are statements related to future, not past, events and are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. In this context, the forward-looking statements often include statements regarding our goals, plans, projections and guidance regarding our financial position, results of operations, market position, pending and potential future acquisitions and business strategy, and often contain words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "should," "foresee," "may" or "will" and similar expressions. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. Any such forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, (a) general economic and business conditions, (b) the level of manufacturer incentives, (c) the future regulatory environment, (d) our ability to obtain an inventory of desirable new and used vehicles, (e) our relationship with our automobile manufacturers and the willingness of manufacturers to approve future acquisitions, (f) our cost of financing and the availability of credit for consumers, (g) our ability to complete acquisitions and dispositions and the risks associated therewith, (h) foreign exchange controls and currency fluctuations, and (i) our ability to retain key personnel. For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our projected results, please see our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to evaluating the financial condition and results of our operations in accordance with GAAP, from time to time our 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 alternative financial measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP. This includes evaluating measures such as adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. These adjusted measures are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, but are instead considered non-GAAP financial performance measures. 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. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. In our evaluation of results from time to time, we exclude items that do not arise directly from core operations, such as non-cash asset impairment charges, gains and losses on dealership franchise or real estate transactions, and catastrophic weather events such as hail storms, hurricanes, and snow storms. Because these non-core charges and gains materially affect the Company'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. Our management also uses these adjusted measures in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures to assess our business, including communication with our Board of Directors, investors and industry analysts concerning financial performance. We disclose these non-GAAP measures, and the related reconciliations, because we believe 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 exclusion of certain expenses in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent. We anticipate excluding these expenses in the future presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures.

In addition, we evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our underlying business and results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our current period reported results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars using comparative period exchange rates rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. The constant currency performance measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
