Group 1 Automotive Reports Record Third Quarter Earnings

GPI

Record Revenue and Strong Expense Leverage Drive 21.7% Adjusted EPS Increase

HOUSTON, Oct. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Group 1 Automotive, Inc. (NYSE: GPI), an international, Fortune 500 automotive retailer, today reported record third quarter 2015 adjusted net income of $46.0 million, a 15.7 percent increase over the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.91 were also a third quarter record, reflecting a 21.7 percent increase from the comparable, adjusted prior-year period.

These third quarter results exclude approximately $800 thousand of net, after-tax charges related to non-cash asset impairments. GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share were $45.3 million and $1.88, respectively. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.

"We are delighted to announce an all-time quarterly revenue record of $2.8 billion," said Earl J. Hesterberg, Group 1's president and chief executive officer. "Continued expense leverage in the United States and strong top-line growth in both the U.S. and U.K. delivered a record third quarter adjusted diluted EPS of $1.91. We were particularly pleased with the double-digit growth in used vehicle unit Same Store sales that all three of our markets delivered this quarter. In addition, our U.K. operations had an outstanding quarter, with revenue up 39.6 percent on a constant currency basis. Finally, while overall market conditions continue to be challenging in Brazil, with new vehicle industry volumes declining over 25 percent on a year-over-year basis, our team in Brazil grew Same Store revenue by 7.1 percent on a constant currency basis and delivered another profitable quarter," Hesterberg added.

Consolidated Results for Third Quarter 2015 (year-over-year comparable basis)

  • Total revenue increased 6.6 percent to an all-time quarterly record of $2.8 billion; total gross profit grew 6.3 percent, to $398.4 million, also an all-time quarterly record. On a constant currency basis, revenues were up 10.2 percent.
  • New vehicle revenue increased 5.3 percent, reflecting 5.9 percent higher unit sales. On a Same Store basis, new unit sales increased 19.1 percent in the U.K., 4.4 percent in the U.S., and 1.3 percent in Brazil.
  • Used vehicle retail revenue increased 11.6 percent, primarily reflecting 12.9 percent higher used retail unit sales. On a Same Store basis, used retail unit sales increased 10.3 percent in the U.S., 19.0 percent in the U.K., and 15.3 percent in Brazil.
  • Parts and service gross profit increased 7.8 percent on revenue growth of 4.0 percent (7.0 percent on a constant currency basis). U.S. Same Store parts and service gross profit increased 9.4 percent on revenue growth of 6.6 percent.
