BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Feb. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE:PAG), a diversified international transportation services company, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2019 results. For the three months ended December 31, 2019, income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders increased 3.9% to $101.6 million, and related earnings per share increased 8.7% to $1.25 per share. This compares to income from continuing operations of $97.8 million and related earnings per share of $1.15 in the prior year. Fourth quarter 2018 income from continuing operations and earnings per share attributable to common shareholders included a net benefit of $2.9 million, or $0.04 per share, related to a gain on dealership sales, partially offset by valuation adjustments on certain franchises. Excluding this benefit, income from continuing operations increased 7.1% from $94.9 million, and related earnings per share increased 12.6% from $1.11 compared to adjusted fourth quarter of 2018 results. Foreign exchange rates had no impact on earnings per share attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Operational Highlights:

  • Revenue increased 8.1%
  • Same-store retail automotive revenue increased 5.5%
  • Earnings before taxes increased 10.2%
  • SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit improved 70 basis points to 79.1% and 110 basis points when compared to adjusted fourth quarter 2018
  • Earnings per share increased 12.6% when compared to adjusted 2018
  • New vehicle gross profit per unit retailed increased $257/unit
  • Finance and insurance revenue increased $105/unit

"I am very pleased with the performance of our business in the fourth quarter," said Penske Automotive Group Chair and CEO Roger Penske. "We grew revenue by 8%, delivered strong gross profit per unit retailed in automotive, improved selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross profit by 110-basis points and increased earnings per share by 12.6%, when compared to an adjusted fourth quarter of 2018. The strength of our U.S. auto retail operations coupled with the recent commercial truck acquisition, more than offset the challenging market conditions in the U.K. As we have moved into the first quarter of 2020, we are encouraged with the improved business conditions in the U.K., including a stronger order environment, as the U.K. officially separated from the European Union at the end of January."   

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, the company reported income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $435.5 million, or $5.28 per share, compared to $470.5 million, or $5.52 per share in the prior year. The prior year results include an $11.6 million tax benefit from the final reconciliation of the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, representing $0.14 per share, and a net benefit of $4.0 million, or $0.05 per share, related to a gain on dealership sales, partially offset by valuation adjustments on certain franchises. Excluding these items, 2018 adjusted income from continuing operations was $454.9 million and related adjusted earnings per share were $5.34. Foreign exchange rates negatively impacted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders by $0.07.

Used Vehicle SuperCenter Operations

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the used vehicle supercenters increased units retailed by 3.1% to 15,405 and increased revenue by 12.0% to $292.7 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules, such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). The company has reconciled these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the release. The company believes that these widely accepted measures of operating profitability improve the transparency of the company's disclosures and provide a meaningful presentation of the company's results from its core business operations excluding the impact of items not related to the company's ongoing core business operations, and improve the period-to-period comparability of the company's results from its core business operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for GAAP financial results, and should only be considered in conjunction with the company's financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP.

Caution Concerning Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this press release may involve forward-looking statements, including forward-looking statements regarding Penske Automotive Group, Inc.'s product availability, future sales and earnings potential. Actual results may vary materially because of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: economic conditions generally, conditions in the credit markets, changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, changes in tariff rates, adverse impacts related to the outcome of the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union, adverse conditions affecting a particular manufacturer, including the adverse impact to the vehicle and parts supply chain due to limited vehicle availability due to WLTP and RDE, natural disasters, recall or other disruptions that interrupt the supply of vehicles or parts to us, changes in consumer credit availability, the outcome of legal and administrative matters, and other factors over which management has limited control. These forward-looking statements should be evaluated together with additional information about Penske Automotive Group's business, markets, conditions and other uncertainties, which could affect Penske Automotive Group's future performance. These risks and uncertainties are addressed in Penske Automotive Group's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). This press release speaks only as of its date, and Penske Automotive Group disclaims any duty to update the information herein.
