Group 1 Automotive Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results

July 28, 2016 7:07 AM

HOUSTON, July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Group 1 Automotive, Inc. (NYSE: GPI), an international, Fortune 500 automotive retailer, today reported second quarter 2016 net income of $46.6 million, diluted earnings per common share of $2.12, adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) of $47.4 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per common share (a non-GAAP measure) of $2.16.

As shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation tables below, the 2016 second quarter adjusted results exclude approximately $830 thousand of net after-tax adjustments, or $0.04 per share, for non-core items, which primarily consists of hail and flood-related expenses of approximately $1.7 million after-tax, or $0.08 per share; a non-cash asset impairment charge for certain leasehold improvements of approximately $633 thousand after-tax, or $0.03 per share; and partially offset by a deferred income tax benefit within our Brazil segment of approximately $1.7 million, or $0.08 per share.

"While U.S. industry sales growth moderated during the quarter, improved margins and continued growth of our parts and service and finance and insurance businesses delivered top-line revenue growth of 3.8 percent on a local currency basis, and an all-time record for diluted earnings per share," said Earl J. Hesterberg, Group 1's president and chief executive officer. "Additionally, given the ongoing value represented by our recent stock price, we continued our share repurchase program, buying approximately 1.7 million common shares since the end of March 2016."

Consolidated Results for Second Quarter 2016 (year-over-year comparable basis)

For ease of comparison, we have included constant exchange rate growth metrics both below (shown in parenthesis) and in the financial tables that follow:

  • Total revenue increased 2.1 percent (3.8 percent) to a second-quarter record of $2.8 billion; total gross profit grew 4.7 percent (6.1 percent) to $410.1 million.
  • New vehicle revenues increased 0.4 percent (2.3 percent) despite a 2.5 percent decrease in unit sales. New vehicle gross profit increased 6.6 percent (8.9 percent) to $81.1 million.
  • Retail used vehicle revenues increased 4.9 percent (6.5 percent) on 4.8 percent higher unit sales. Retail used vehicle gross profit improved 4.8 percent (6.1 percent) to $48.3 million.
  • Parts and service gross profit increased 4.9 percent (6.2 percent) on revenue growth of 6.2 percent (7.7 percent). Same Store parts and service gross profit increased 1.5 percent (2.5 percent) on revenue growth of 3.3 percent (4.5 percent).
  • Same Store Finance and Insurance (F&I) gross profit per retail unit (PRU) increased 3.1 percent (3.8 percent) to $1,435. U.S. F&I gross profit PRU increased $67 to a best-ever record of $1,602.
  • On a GAAP basis, Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percent of gross profit increased 120 basis points to 72.9. Adjusted SG&A expenses as a percent of gross profit increased 80 basis points to 72.2 percent.

Segment Results for Second Quarter 2016 (year-over-year comparable basis)

  • United States:The Company's U.S. operations accounted for 79.3 percent of total revenues and 84.0 percent of total gross profit. Total U.S. revenues were $2.2 billion, a decrease of 3.5 percent, due to a 10.0 percent decrease in retail new vehicle unit sales, as well as a slight decrease of 1.6 percent in finance and insurance revenue, driven by the decline in retail unit sales. While new vehicle sales volume contracted, new vehicle gross profit per unit sold grew $246, or 15.3 percent per unit, to $1,857. This margin performance delivered a new vehicle gross profit growth of 3.7 percent. On a GAAP basis, SG&A expenses as a percent of gross profit increased 110 basis points to 71.2 percent and operating margin was flat at 4.0 percent. Adjusted SG&A expenses as a percent of gross profit increased 50 basis points to 70.3 percent and adjusted operating margin was flat at 4.1 percent.
  • United Kingdom:The Company's U.K. operations accounted for 16.8 percent of total revenues and 13.3 percent of total gross profit. Total U.K. revenues increased 51.8 percent (62.1 percent) to $467.8 million, and gross profit increased 60.2 percent (71.5 percent) to $54.3 million. Revenue growth was primarily driven by 66.1 percent (77.7 percent) growth in F&I, 63.5 percent (74.7 percent) growth in new vehicles, and 58.5 percent (69.3 percent) growth in parts and service. On a local currency basis, Same Store revenue increased 9.4 percent, reflecting increases in all areas of the business.On a Same Store GAAP basis, SG&A expenses as a percent of gross profit improved 280 basis points to 75.8 percent and operating margin grew 40 basis points to 2.4 percent. On a Same Store basis, adjusted SG&A expenses as a percent of gross profit improved 220 basis points to 75.8 percent and adjusted operating margin grew 30 basis points to 2.4 percent.
  • Brazil:The Company's Brazilian operations accounted for 3.9 percent of total revenues and 2.7 percent of total gross profit. Despite Brazil's new vehicle industry decline of 22 percent from second quarter 2015, the Company's total revenue, on a Same Store local currency basis, was only down 4.1 percent. Significant revenue growth of 12.8 percent in used retail, 7.1 percent in parts and service, and 30.1 percent in F&I mostly offset the decline in new vehicle sales.

Corporate Development

As previously announced, in April 2016, the Company acquired two franchises in Brazil, which include BMW and Toyota, and also began operations at the Land Rover and Jaguar open point that was awarded last year. These acquisitions are expected to generate $20 million in estimated annual revenues.

Also as previously announced, in April 2016, the Company disposed of one Peugeot franchise in Brazil. In June 2016, the disposition of the last remaining Peugeot store within the Company's portfolio was completed. These franchises represented approximately $15 million of annual revenues.

Share Repurchase Authorization

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company repurchased 1,462,144 shares at an average price of $56.97 for a total of $83.3 million of which 911,207 and $50.0 million were previously announced purchases in April 2016. As of July 27, 2016, the Company has repurchased an additional 244,205 shares at an average price of $50.61 for a total of $12.4 million, and $22.4 million remains available under the Company's prior common stock share repurchase authorization.

We have included certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules, which exclude certain items. These adjusted measures are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, but are instead considered non-GAAP financial performance measures. As required by SEC rules, we provide reconciliations of these adjusted measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. We believe that these adjusted financial measures are relevant and useful to investors because they improve the transparency of our disclosure, provide a meaningful presentation of results from our core business operations and improve period-to-period comparability of our results from our core business operations.

We have included certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules, which exclude certain items. These adjusted measures are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, but are instead considered non-GAAP financial performance measures. As required by SEC rules, we provide reconciliations of these adjusted measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. We believe that these adjusted financial measures are relevant and useful to investors because they improve the transparency of our disclosure, provide a meaningful presentation of results from our core business operations and improve period-to-period comparability of our results from our core business operations.
