AutoNation Reports All-Time Record Quarterly EPS from Continuing Operations

July 29, 2016 7:25 AM

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE: AN), America's largest automotive retailer, today reported second quarter 2016 net income from continuing operations of $112 million, or $1.08 per share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $115 million, or $1.00 per share, for the same period in the prior year.

Mike Jackson, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, said, "We achieved record EPS from continuing operations. We benefited from our opportunistic capital allocation strategy, including acquisitions and share repurchase, and we began to see the results of adjusting our cost structure and inventory levels to the current industry selling environment. We remain focused on our strategy to manage costs and reduce our inventory levels going forward and we will continue to take advantage of capital allocation opportunities."

Mike Jackson added, "The Takata airbag recall continues to be disruptive to our business. However, in the second half of the year we anticipate improvement due to Takata airbag parts availability and compensation paid by certain manufacturers that will partially offset our costs."

AcquisitionsIn July 2016, AutoNation completed the previously announced acquisition of four stores, comprised of five franchises, in the Westchester County, New York area, representing approximately $190 million in annual revenue. Upon completion of certain facilities associated with these stores, AutoNation will be awarded a Land Rover franchise and a Jaguar franchise, which are expected to generate approximately $100 million in additional annual revenue once fully operational. AutoNation also completed the acquisition of a Chrysler Jeep store in the Denver market in July 2016, representing approximately $110 million in annual revenue.

Share RepurchaseDuring the second quarter of 2016, AutoNation repurchased 1 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $50 million. As of July 28, 2016, AutoNation has approximately $116 million remaining Board authorization for share repurchase and 102 million shares outstanding.
