HOUSTON, April 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Group 1 Automotive, Inc. (NYSE: GPI), an international, Fortune 500 automotive retailer, today reported first quarter 2015 net income of $35.8 million, a 14.4 percent increase, and record first quarter diluted earnings per common share of $1.47, a 23.5 percent increase, on a year-over-year comparable basis for the period ended March 31, 2015. There were no non-GAAP adjustments for either first quarter 2015 or 2014.
"We are pleased with our first quarter record earnings driven by strong top-line growth in the United States and the United Kingdom," said Earl J. Hesterberg, Group 1's president and chief executive officer. "Contrary to the widespread concern about the impact of lower oil prices on our business, our improvements were led by double-digit Same Store new vehicle growth from our dealerships in Houston and along the Gulf Coast. We continue to monitor local market conditions and remain prepared to act if we see any signs of weakening, but to date, sales are holding up in our oil-impacted markets."
In regards to the Company's Brazilian operations, Mr. Hesterberg commented, "As expected, the Brazilian auto industry had a weak start to 2015 due to tax changes and overall economic issues. However, our Brazilian team outperformed the market throughout the quarter and almost achieved financial breakeven. Although we generated a slight loss in Q1, we expect to be profitable in Brazil this year."
Consolidated Results for First Quarter 2015 (year-over-year comparable basis)
As exchange rates have moved considerably since the first quarter of 2014, we have included constant exchange rate growth metrics both below in parenthesis and in the financial tables that follow.
- Total revenue increased 7.6 percent (10.1 percent on a constant exchange basis) to $2.4 billion; total gross profit grew 7.6 percent (9.5 percent) to $363.9 million.
- New vehicle revenues increased 5.0 percent (7.8 percent) on 3.9 percent higher unit sales. New vehicle gross profit increased 4.2 percent (7.7 percent) to $69.7 million.
- Retail used vehicle revenues increased 13.3 percent (15.6 percent) on 11.6 percent higher unit sales. Retail used vehicle gross profit improved 7.8 percent (9.2 percent) to $46.1 million as lower margins, down $54 per unit, partially offset the revenue growth.
- Parts and service gross profit increased 6.4 percent (8.2 percent) on revenue growth of 4.8 percent (6.7 percent). Same Store parts and service gross profit increased 4.4 percent (6.1 percent) on revenue growth of 3.4 percent (5.2 percent).
- Finance and Insurance (F&I) gross profit per unit increased 5.6 percent (6.6 percent) to $1,366 per retail unit.
- Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percent of gross profit improved 160 basis points to 74.6 percent.
Segment Results for First Quarter 2015 (year-over-year comparable basis)
- United States:
The Company's U.S. revenues were $2.0 billion, an increase of 8.9 percent. The revenue growth reflects unit sales increases of 5.0 percent in new vehicles and 10.6 percent in retail used vehicles, as well as increases of 5.5 percent in parts and service revenue and 13.3 percent in finance and insurance revenue. This strong sales performance drove gross profit growth of 8.5 percent, reflecting the higher new and used retail volumes, and an F&I gross profit per unit increase of 5.5 percent, or $80, to an all-time record of $1,538 per retail unit. SG&A expenses as a percent of gross profit improved 160 basis points to 73.1 percent and operating margin improved 20 basis points to 3.7 percent. The Company's U.S. operations accounted for 82.2 percent of total revenues and 86.4 percent of total gross profit.
- United Kingdom:
The Company's U.K. operations accounted for 12.3 percent of total revenues and 9.4 percent of total gross profit. Total revenue increased 20.9 percent (32.5 percent) to $299.5 million, and gross profit increased 18.9 percent (30.4 percent). Revenue growth was primarily driven by 20.4 percent and 33.0 percent increases in new and used vehicle retail unit sales, respectively. On a Same Store basis, SG&A expenses as a percent of gross profit improved 190 basis points to 76.3 percent.
- Brazil:
The Company's Brazil operations accounted for 5.5 percent of total revenues and 4.2 percent of total gross profit. Total Same Store revenue was down 19.9 percent, to $132.4 million, with the decline primarily explained by weaker exchange rate, as Same Store revenues were down 3.5 percent on a local currency basis. Brazil industry new vehicle volumes declined 16 percent due to a weaker economy and the expiration of tax incentives at the end of 2014, while the Company's Same Store new vehicle unit sales were only down 9.5 percent. The Company's higher new vehicle gross margins and F&I gross profit per retail unit offset the volume decline and resulted in a 2.4 percent increase in Same Store gross profit on a local currency basis.
Corporate Development
As previously announced, the Company acquired an Audi dealership in Texas during March 2015 and an Audi dealership in Florida during April 2015. These franchises are expected to generate approximately $240 million in annual revenues.
In March 2015, the Company also disposed of a small Mazda franchise in Georgia, which generated approximately $5 million of annual revenues.
Share Repurchase Authorization
During the quarter, the Company repurchased 198,168 shares at an average price per share of $81.62 for a total of $16.2 million. As of March 31, 2015, $83.3 million remains available under the Company's prior common stock share repurchase authorization. Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, based on market conditions, legal requirements and other corporate considerations and subject to Board approval and covenant restrictions.
