Lithia Motors Reports Adjusted EPS of $0.76 for Second Quarter 2012, Revenue Up 26%; Increases 2012 Outlook / Lithia Motors Declares $0.10 per Share Dividend for Second Quarter 2012

MEDFORD, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 07/25/12 -- Lithia Motors, Inc. (NYSE: LAD) today reported 2012 second quarter adjusted income from continuing operations of $19.9 million, or $0.76 per diluted share. This compares to a 2011 second quarter adjusted income from continuing operations of $14.4 million, or $0.54 per diluted share. Unadjusted net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2012 was $20.5 million or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to $14.7 million or $0.55 per diluted share for 2011.

As shown in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation table, the 2012 second quarter adjusted income from continuing operations is reduced to exclude a benefit of $0.02 per share for a non-core tax attribute. The 2011 second quarter adjusted results from continuing operations exclude a benefit of $0.01 per share for a tax item.

Second quarter 2012 revenue from continuing operations increased $174.6 million, or 26% to $847.1 million, compared to $672.5 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Second Quarter Year-over-Year Operating Highlights:

  • New vehicle same store sales increased 34%
  • Used vehicle retail same store sales increased 20%
  • Service, body and parts same store sales increased 7%
  • SG&A expense as a percentage of gross profit was 69.6%, a reduction of 160 basis points
  • Earnings per share increased 41%; $0.76 is the highest second quarter EPS in company history

"We remain focused on improving our operations and increasing our market share," said Bryan DeBoer, President and CEO. "I'm proud of the results our team delivered in the second quarter. With that said, we still have opportunities in all facets of our business and our leaders continue to identify areas where performance can improve. Additionally, in many of our western markets, the new vehicle sales recovery has lagged national levels. This factor will serve as a future catalyst for growth."

For the first six months of 2012, revenue from continuing operations increased 28% to $1.6 billion as compared to $1.3 billion in 2011. Same store new vehicle sales increased 30%, used vehicle retail same store sales increased 19% and service, body and parts same store sales increased 6%. For the first six months of 2012 adjusted net income from continuing operations was $1.36 per share as compared to $0.87 per share in 2011. Unadjusted, for the first six months of 2012, net income from continuing operations was $1.42 per diluted share, compared to $0.86 per diluted share for 2011.

Corporate Development
On April 30, 2012, Lithia purchased a Chevrolet Cadillac store in Bellingham, Washington with estimated annual revenues of $40 million. On June 12, 2012, Lithia purchased GMC and Buick franchises in Fairbanks, Alaska, to combine with our Chevrolet store in the community. On June 25, 2012, Lithia was awarded Dodge and Ram franchises and opened a store in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Estimated annual revenues from the Fairbanks and Las Cruces franchises are $35 million.

Commenting on the acquisition activity, DeBoer said, "In the second quarter, we were able to identify several opportunities that fit our core strategy of seeking exclusive franchises in our markets. I am excited to welcome our new employees to the family."

Share Repurchases
During the second quarter, Lithia repurchased 741,092 shares of its Class A common stock at a weighted average price of $24.23 per share. For the first six months of 2012, Lithia repurchased 823,092 shares of its Class A common stock at a weighted average price of $24.17 per share.

The Board of Directors has increased the existing authorization by 1 million shares, bringing the total remaining repurchase authorization to 1,879,853 shares.

Chris Holzshu, SVP and Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We remain focused on the prudent allocation of capital. While our first choice remains acquisitions and internal investment, we are pleased to provide a dividend and opportunistically repurchase shares to return value to our shareholders."

Balance Sheet Update
Lithia ended the second quarter with $16 million in cash and $76 million in available credit on our credit facilities. In total, this represents approximately $92 million in available liquidity.

During the second quarter, Lithia strategically retired approximately $23 million in mortgages, and refinanced approximately $70 million of mortgages to extend the maturity dates. As a result, Lithia has no mortgage maturities until 2015, when approximately $13 million matures.

Dividend Payment
Lithia announced that the Board of Directors has approved a dividend of $0.10 per share for the second quarter 2012. Lithia will pay the dividend August 24, 2012 to shareholders of record on August 10, 2012.
