PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP REPORTS QUARTERLY AND FULL YEAR 2023 RESULTS

Completes Third Most Profitable Year in Company History

Fourth Quarter Revenue Increased 4% to $7.3 Billion

Fourth Quarter Retail Automotive Same-Store Revenue Increased 4%, Including a 7% Increase in Service & Parts

Fourth Quarter Profitability Impacted by Non-Cash Impairment Charge, Lower Equity Earnings From PTS, and Higher Interest Expense
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI, February 7, 2024 – Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: PAG), a diversified international transportation services company and one of the world's premier automotive and commercial truck retailers, today announced fourth quarter and twelve months 2023 results. For the quarter, revenue increased 4% to $7.3 billion. Income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders decreased 36% to $190.7 million from $298.0 million and related earnings per share decreased 33% to $2.84 from $4.21 when compared to the same period of 2022. Fourth quarter 2023 results include a goodwill impairment charge of $40.7 million (before and after tax), representing $0.61 per share. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders decreased 22% to $231.4 million from $298.0 million and related adjusted earnings per share decreased 18% to $3.45 from $4.21. Foreign currency exchange positively impacted revenue by $130.0 million and had a negligible effect on income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders and earnings per share.
Goodwill Impairment
We are required to assess goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. In the fourth quarter of 2023 in connection with our annual budget and planning process for 2024, which drives certain assumptions used in our annual goodwill impairment testing, we determined the carrying value of goodwill in our used vehicle dealerships international reporting unit was greater than its estimated fair value. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $40.7 million (before and after tax) for the quarter, which represents $0.61 per share for the three months and $0.60 per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. This impairment charge is largely related to the reporting unit’s lower supply of quality, low mileage used vehicles for its customers due to lower sales of new vehicles across the industry in recent years.
Fourth Quarter 2023 Performance
The Company’s results for the fourth quarter of 2023 were driven by continued strong performance in retail automotive and retail commercial truck operations, including an 8% increase in retail automotive new units delivered and a 7% increase in same-store service and parts gross profit. Income from continuing operations before income taxes, net income, and income per share, however, were negatively impacted by higher interest costs of $21 million, driven primarily by an increase in interest rates and higher inventory levels which increased borrowings under our floorplan arrangements, and lower equity earnings

from the Company’s investment in Penske Transportation Solutions (“PTS”). Lower equity earnings from PTS were driven in part by increased operating and interest costs, lower rental revenue and utilization, and a decrease in gains from the sale of used trucks, each of which continues to impact PTS’ profitability when compared to the record profitability achieved by PTS in 2022. The Company’s equity earnings from PTS for the three months ended December 31, 2023, declined $48 million, or 48%, to $51 million when compared to the same period in the prior year.
Commenting on the Company's fourth quarter financial results, Chair and CEO Roger Penske said, "Demand for new vehicles remains strong while used vehicle supply and affordability remains challenging. I am pleased with the continued growth in service and parts gross profit and our continued focus on controlling costs. Also, I was particularly pleased with the sequential performance of retail automotive new and used vehicle gross profit per unit retailed which only declined marginally from the third to fourth quarter of 2023."
Penske continued, "Our diversified business achieved the third best year of profitability of all-time." For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, revenue increased 6% to $29.5 billion. When compared to the same period last year, income attributable to common stockholders decreased 24% to $1.05 billion from $1.38 billion, and related earnings per share decreased 16% to $15.50. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge noted above, adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders decreased 21% to $1.09 billion and related adjusted earnings per share decreased 13% to $16.10. Foreign currency exchange negatively impacted revenue by $3.9 million, income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders by $7.9 million, and earnings per share by $0.11.

We do not record revenue for the price of the vehicle. As shown in the following schedules, units facilitated under the agency model are shown separately as agency units while the fee we received to facilitate the sale is in new vehicle revenue and gross profit.

compared to the same period in 2022 while retail unit sales decreased 5% primarily due to production timing and delivery delays which impacted both periods. Revenue decreased 6% to $904.8 million while same-store revenue decreased 10%. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, revenue increased 4% to $3.7 billion while same-store revenue increased 1%, including a 3% increase in service and parts revenue when compared to the same period last year. During this same period, earnings before taxes increased 5% to a record $225.0 million when compared to the same period last year.
Penske Transportation Solutions Investment
Penske Transportation Solutions ("PTS") is a leading provider of full-service truck leasing, truck rental, contract maintenance, and logistics services. PTS operates a managed fleet with over 439,000 trucks, tractors, and trailers under lease, rental and/or maintenance contracts. Penske Automotive Group has a 28.9% ownership interest in PTS and accounts for its ownership interest using the equity method of accounting. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $51.2 million and $289.5 million in earnings compared to $99.4 million and $490.0 million for the same periods in 2022. The year-over-year declines are related to higher interest and maintenance costs, lower gains on sales of used trucks, and lower rental revenue and utilization. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, PTS' interest costs increased $213 million, maintenance costs increased $150 million, and gain on sales of used trucks declined $211 million when compared to the prior year period.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased 2.6 million shares of common stock for approximately $358.7 million under our securities repurchase program and also acquired 168,464 shares of our common stock for $23.5 million from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity awards.
