NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
(In millions, except share and per share amounts)

1. Interim Financial Statements

Business Overview

Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms “PAG,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in these Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements refers to Penske Automotive Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We are a diversified international transportation services company that operates automotive and commercial truck dealerships principally in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, and distributes commercial vehicles, diesel engines, gas engines, power systems and related parts and services principally in Australia and New Zealand.

COVID-19 Disclosure

Overview - The outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe has adversely impacted each of our markets and the global economy, leading to disruptions to our business. The pandemic continues in all of our markets. Governmental authorities have taken countermeasures to slow the outbreak including shelter-in-place orders, stay at home orders, large-scale restrictions on travel, and government-funded assistance programs to individuals and businesses. In April and May of 2020, as a result of business closures and shelter-in-place orders, same-store new and used automotive retail unit sales declined 71% and 50%, while service and parts revenue declined 60% and 43%, respectively, when compared to the same months last year. In June 2020, as operations began to reopen, our retail automotive business same-store new and used unit sales decreased 1% compared to the same month last year and service and parts revenue decreased 3%. The pandemic is a highly fluid and rapidly evolving situation, and while we continue to adjust our operations to conform to regulatory changes and consumer preferences in the evolving environment, we cannot anticipate with any certainty the length, scope, or severity of the business impact from the pandemic in each of the jurisdictions that we operate. See “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

In response to shelter-in-place orders resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our automotive and commercial vehicle showrooms were closed (though all have since reopened). In permissible jurisdictions, however, we continued limited sales activity by appointment or through our e-commerce channels. Virtually all of our service, parts, and collision center departments remained open during the crisis, and curbside or home delivery offerings supplemented our traditional service offerings. We modified certain business practices to conform to government restrictions and best practices encouraged by government and regulatory authorities. In all of our locations, we implemented enhanced cleaning procedures, enforced social distancing guidelines, and took other precautions to maintain the health and safety of our employees and customers. We continue to experience interim business closures at some of our facilities in response to a customer or employee reporting a positive test result for COVID-19. When we become aware of such result, we notify appropriate personnel and deep clean our facility, which may include closure of that facility. We also are experiencing increased costs for providing the appropriate level of safety equipment for our facilities and employees, as well as increased costs for daily and enhanced deep cleaning when appropriate.

Across the company, we implemented a hiring freeze and expense reductions, and postponed an estimated $150 million in capital expenditures. We also furloughed over 15,000 employees in February and March in various countries. As of July 1, 2020, we have brought back employees to work according to business levels and approximately 14% of our workforce remained furloughed. We have also reduced our workforce by approximately 2,000 employees. Our remaining employees have been working reduced hours or have taken pay cuts, including a temporary 100% reduction in salary for the CEO and President, a 25% reduction in salary for our other executive officers (reduced to 12.5% beginning July 1, 2020), and the Board of Directors has waived cash compensation through September 30, 2020.

Most of our manufacturer partners began suspending production beginning in late March while many started to reopen beginning in late May. Our inventory levels have allowed us to continue to do business with the slowdown in sales driven by the pandemic; however, we are experiencing limited inventory of certain models. Our manufacturer partners began providing us with additional incentive support in March. In addition, our manufacturer and lending partners are providing support to retail customers such as increased incentives, payment deferrals, as well as 0% financing on certain vehicles and term lengths.

United States – Beginning in March 2020, shelter-in-place rules in many states either required we close dealerships or limit our automotive dealership operations to essential services. Virtual/online sales of new and used vehicles remained available in all locations, while the service departments remained open to support critical transportation needs. In May, many shelter-in-place rules began to expire, and restrictions were slowly lifted in many states allowing us to reopen dealerships. Same-store new and used automotive retail unit sales declined 50% in April and 26% in May when compared to the same month last year. In June 2020, our automotive dealership operations across the U.S. experienced a 9% decrease in unit volume and a 5% decrease in service and parts revenues compared to the prior year on a same store basis. Our U.S. used supercenters experienced a same-store used unit sales decrease of 20% in the month of June.

Commercial truck dealership sales and service operations remained open in most locations around the U.S. and Canada providing essential services to our customers. We have continued to experience steady demand for new and used truck sales and service and parts throughout 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the North American Class 8 retail sales market declined 51.1% while our new same-store unit sales declined 52.2% during the same period while same-store revenue declined 40.2%. However, in total, which includes the acquisition of Warner Trucks we completed in the third quarter of 2019, total units retailed decreased 8.2%, and revenue decreased 6.5% to $399.2 million.

Penske Transportation Solutions – We have a 28.9% ownership interest in Penske Transportation Solutions ("PTS"). As an integral part of the North American supply chain, PTS has been generally classified as essential by governmental authorities. This has allowed PTS to remain operating in much of its business, providing crucial supply chain and transportation services to its customers. While its full-service leasing and contract maintenance businesses remained consistent, commercial rental utilization slowed during April and May but began to increase in June with the expirations of the shelter-in-place orders. PTS experienced mixed results in the logistics services business as increased volume in the grocery sector was offset by plant closings in automotive and manufacturing but have returned to normal operations. In response, PTS implemented, among other items, approximately 7,000 layoffs, a 30% reduction in executive salaries (which reduction was eliminated beginning July 1, 2020), and reduced associate work schedules, although most personnel have returned to work as of July 2020.

United Kingdom – All dealerships closed on March 24, 2020 in accordance with government orders, though we provided service and parts operations on an emergency basis. Over 90% of the employees in the U.K. were placed on furlough beginning March 24, 2020. However, we opened substantially all service and parts operations in mid-May and showrooms in early June. As of July 1, 2020, approximately 1,950 employees, or approximately 20% of the U.K. workforce, remain on furlough. Same-store new and used automotive retail unit sales declined nearly 100% in April and 85% in May when compared to the same month last year. In June 2020, our automotive dealership operations across the U.K. experienced a 9% increase in unit volume and a 1% decrease in service and parts revenues on a same store basis, when compared to June 2019. Our U.K. used supercenters experienced a same-store used unit sales decrease of 6% in the month of June.

Australia – In most jurisdictions, non-essential business operations were closed by government order in March 2020 though many governmental restrictions have since been lifted. Penske Australia has been deemed essential throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore, sales, parts, service, and defense functions continue to remain operational.

Government Assistance – We received government assistance in most of our jurisdictions through COVID-19 related government programs which provided tax credits or direct wage or health care assistance payments to us. These programs generally require us to claim tax credits or apply to the government for reimbursement of wages or employee health benefits based on the applicable laws and programs within each jurisdiction. In the second quarter, we received $49.5 million of wage assistance for furloughed employees in the U.K, as well as an additional $6.4 million of assistance and tax credits in our U.S. and other jurisdictions. As a result, we recorded a reduction to selling, general, and administrative expenses of approximately $55.9 million for the amount of government assistance received during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Liquidity – As of June 30, 2020, we had $159.3 million of cash and access to an additional $1 billion of availability through our revolving credit facilities. On August 15, 2020, our $300 million of 3.75% senior subordinated notes are due. We currently expect to pay those notes with the availability from our U.S. Credit Agreement which was undrawn as of June 30, 2020.

Risks and Uncertainties – The full impact that COVID-19 will have on our business cannot be predicted at this time due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business closures, the effectiveness of actions taken to contain the disease, the development of a reliable vaccine, the effect of government assistance programs, production levels from our manufacturing partners, and other unintended consequences. This impact could include changes in customer demand; our relationship with, and the financial and operational capacities of, vehicle manufacturers, captive finance companies and other suppliers; workforce availability; risks associated with our indebtedness (including available borrowing capacity, compliance with financial covenants and ability to refinance or repay indebtedness on favorable terms); the adequacy of our cash flow and earnings and other conditions which may affect our liquidity; our ability to pay our quarterly dividend at prior levels; and disruptions to our technology network and other critical systems, including our dealer management systems and software or other facilities or equipment.

We believe that business disruption relating to the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively impact the global economy and may materially affect our businesses as outlined above, or in other manners, all of which would adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Retail Automotive Dealership. We believe we are the second largest automotive retailer headquartered in the U.S. as measured by the $20.6 billion in total retail automotive dealership revenue we generated in 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we operated 317 retail automotive franchises, of which 145 franchises are located in the U.S. and 172 franchises are located outside of the U.S. The franchises outside the U.S. are located primarily in the U.K. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we retailed and wholesaled more than 222,000 vehicles. We are diversified geographically, with 60% of our total retail automotive dealership revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2020 generated in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and 40% generated outside the U.S. We offer over 35 vehicle brands, with 70% of our retail automotive dealership revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2020 generated from premium brands, such as Audi, BMW, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. Each of our franchised dealerships offers a wide selection of new and used vehicles for sale. In addition to selling new and used vehicles, we generate higher-margin revenue at each of our dealerships through maintenance and repair services and the sale and placement of third-party finance and insurance products, third-party extended service and maintenance contracts and replacement and aftermarket automotive products. We operate our franchised dealerships under franchise agreements with a number of automotive manufacturers and distributors that are subject to certain rights and restrictions typical of the industry.

We also operate 16 used vehicle supercenters in the U.S. and the U.K. which retail and wholesale used vehicles under a one price, “no-haggle” methodology. Our CarSense operations in the U.S. consist of 6 retail locations operating in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania market areas. Our CarShop operations in the U.K. consist of 10 retail locations and a vehicle preparation center. We expect to open 3 to 4 additional used vehicle supercenters by the end of calendar year 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we disposed of 4 retail automotive franchises in the U.K. and made 0 acquisitions.

Retail Commercial Truck Dealership. We operate a heavy and medium-duty truck dealership group known as Premier Truck Group (“PTG”) offering primarily Freightliner and Western Star trucks (both Daimler brands), with locations in Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia, Utah, Idaho, and Canada. As of June 30, 2020, PTG operated NaN locations. PTG also offers a full range of used trucks available for sale as well as service and parts departments, providing a full range of maintenance and repair services.

Penske Australia. We are the exclusive importer and distributor of Western Star heavy-duty trucks, MAN heavy and medium duty trucks and buses (a VW Group brand), and Dennis Eagle refuse collection vehicles, together with associated parts, across Australia, New Zealand and portions of the Pacific. In most of these same markets, we are also a leading distributor of diesel and gas engines and power systems, principally representing MTU, Detroit Diesel, Allison

11

Transmission, MTU Onsite Energy, and Rolls Royce Power Systems. This business, known as Penske Australia, offers products across the on- and off-highway markets, including in the construction, mining, marine, and defense sectors, and supports full parts and aftersales service through a network of branches, field locations and dealers across the region.

Penske Transportation Solutions. We hold a 28.9% ownership interest in Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P (“PTL”). PTL is owned 41.1% by Penske Corporation, 28.9% by us, and 30.0% by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”). We account for our investment in PTL under the equity method, and we therefore record our share of PTL’s earnings on our statements of income under the caption “Equity in earnings of affiliates,” which also includes the results of our other equity method investments. Penske Transportation Solutions (“PTS”) is the universal brand name for PTL’s various business lines through which it is capable of meeting customers’ needs across the supply chain with a broad product offering that includes full-service truck leasing, truck rental and contract maintenance, along with logistic services such as dedicated contract carriage, distribution center management, transportation management, lead logistics provider services and dry van truckload carrier services.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of PAG have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The information presented as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments which our management believes to be necessary for the fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounts requiring the use of significant estimates include accounts receivable, inventories, income taxes, intangible assets and certain reserves.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in the principal, or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and also establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2	Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

12

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, debt, floor plan notes payable, forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps used to hedge future cash flows. Other than our fixed rate debt, the carrying amount of all significant financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity, the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates, or as a result of mark to market accounting.

Our fixed rate debt consists of amounts outstanding under our senior subordinated notes and mortgage facilities. We estimate the fair value of our senior unsecured notes using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 2), and we estimate the fair value of our mortgage facilities using a present value technique based on current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments (Level 2). A summary of the carrying values and fair values of our senior subordinated notes and our fixed rate mortgage facilities are as follows:

	June 30, 2020				December 31, 2019
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
3.75% senior subordinated notes due 2020	$	299.9	$	299.8	$	299.2	$	302.6
5.75% senior subordinated notes due 2022		548.1		549.2		547.6		556.7
5.375% senior subordinated notes due 2024		298.3		299.8		298.0		306.7
5.50% senior subordinated notes due 2026		496.1		496.3		495.7		521.7
Mortgage facilities		417.0		438.9		423.2		430.9

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

We had 0 entities newly classified as held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019 that met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. The financial information for entities that were classified as discontinued operations prior to adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 are included in “Income from discontinued operations” in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of income and “Liabilities held for sale” in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets for all periods presented.

Disposals

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we disposed of 4 retail automotive franchises. The results of operations for these businesses are included within continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, as these franchises did not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale and treated as discontinued operations.

Income Taxes

Tax regulations may require items to be included in our tax returns at different times than the items are reflected in our financial statements. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible on our tax return, and some are temporary differences, such as the timing of depreciation expense. Temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that will be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax returns in future years which we have already recorded in our financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent deductions taken on our tax returns that have not yet been recognized as expense in our financial statements. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets if the amount of expected future taxable income is not likely to allow for the use of the deduction or credit.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, includes various income and payroll tax provisions, modifications to federal net operating loss rules, business interest deduction limitations, and bonus depreciation eligibility for qualified improvement property. Although we are currently evaluating the full impact of these provisions and recent IRS guidance, we expect to be positively impacted by the five-year carryback of net operating losses and payroll tax deferral provision, in addition to receiving benefits from the employee retention tax credit.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology of recognizing credit losses when a loss is probable, with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to assess credit loss estimates. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this ASU on the effective date of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this accounting standard update has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Fair Value Measurement Disclosure

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU eliminates, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. For public companies, this ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. Entities were permitted to early adopt any eliminated or amended disclosures and delay adoption of the additional disclosure requirements until the effective date. We adopted this ASU on the effective date of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this accounting standard update has not had a material impact on our on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Accounting for Cloud Computing Arrangements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” Under this new guidance, certain implementation costs incurred in a hosted cloud computing service arrangement will be capitalized in accordance with ASC 350-40. For public companies, this ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments from this update are to be applied retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after adoption. We adopted this ASU on the effective date of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this accounting standard update has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Additionally, entities can elect to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain conditions are met. The new standard was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference interest rates, but do not expect a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Financial Disclosures about Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities

In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted final rules that amend the financial disclosure requirements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-

14

X. The amended rules narrow the circumstances that require separate financial statements of subsidiary issuers and guarantors and streamline the alternative disclosures required in lieu of those statements. The amended rules allow the registrants, among other things, to disclose summarized financial information of the issuer and guarantors on a combined basis and to present only the most recently completed fiscal year and subsequent year-to-date interim period. The rule is effective January 4, 2021, but earlier compliance is permitted. The Company early adopted the rule in the first quarter of 2020.

2. Revenues

Automotive and commercial truck dealerships represent the majority of our revenues. New and used vehicle revenues typically include sales to retail customers, to fleet customers, and to leasing companies providing consumer leasing. We generate finance and insurance revenues from sales of third-party extended service contracts, sales of third-party insurance policies, commissions relating to the sale of finance and lease contracts to third parties, and the sales of certain other products. Service and parts revenues include fees paid by customers for repair, maintenance and collision services, and the sale of replacement parts and other aftermarket accessories, as well as warranty repairs that are reimbursed directly by various OEMs. Revenues are recognized upon satisfaction of our performance obligations under contracts with our customers and are measured at the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. A discussion of revenue recognition by reportable segment is included below.

Retail Automotive and Retail Commercial Truck Dealership Revenue Recognition

Dealership Vehicle Sales. We record revenue for vehicle sales at a point in time when vehicles are delivered, which is when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership and control are considered passed to the customer. The amount of consideration we receive for vehicle sales is stated within the executed contract with our customer and is reduced by any noncash consideration representing the fair value of trade-in vehicles, if applicable. Payment is typically due and collected within 30 days subsequent to transfer of control of the vehicle.

Dealership Parts and Service Sales. We record revenue for vehicle service and collision work over time as work is completed, and when parts are delivered to our customers. For service and parts revenues recorded over time, we utilize a method that considers total costs incurred to date and the applicable margin in relation to total expected efforts to complete our performance obligation in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize over time. Recognition of this revenue over time reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to for the transfer of goods and services performed to date, representative of the amount for which we have a right to payment. The amount of consideration we receive for parts and service sales, including collision repair work, is based upon labor hours expended and parts utilized to perform and complete the necessary services to our customers. Payment is typically due upon delivery or within a period of time shortly thereafter. We receive payment from our customers upon transfer of control or within a period typically less than 30 days subsequent to the completion of services for the customer. We allow for customer returns of parts sales up to 30 days after the sale; however, parts returns are not material.

Dealership Finance and Insurance Sales. Subsequent to the sale of a vehicle to a customer, we sell installment sale contracts to various financial institutions on a non-recourse basis (with specified exceptions) to mitigate the risk of default. We receive a commission from the lender equal to either the difference between the interest rate charged to the customer and the interest rate set by the financing institution or a flat fee. We also receive commissions for facilitating the sale of various products to customers, including guaranteed vehicle protection insurance, vehicle theft protection and extended service contracts. These commissions are recorded as revenue at a point in time when the customer enters into the contract. Payment is typically due and collected within 30 days subsequent to the execution of the contract with the customer. In the case of finance contracts, a customer may prepay or fail to pay their contract, thereby terminating the contract. Customers may also terminate extended service contracts and other insurance products, which are fully paid at purchase, and become eligible for refunds of unused premiums. In these circumstances, a portion of the commissions we received may be charged back based on the terms of the contracts. The revenue we record relating to these transactions is net of an estimate of the amount of chargebacks we will be required to pay. Our estimate is based upon our historical experience with similar contracts, including the impact of refinance and default rates on retail finance contracts and cancellation rates on extended service contracts and other insurance products. Aggregate reserves relating to chargeback activity were $27.4 million and $26.6 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Commercial Vehicle Distribution and Other Revenue Recognition

Penske Australia. We record revenue from the distribution of vehicles and other products at a point in time when delivered, which is when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership and control are considered passed to the customer. We record revenue for service or repair work over time as work is completed, and when parts are delivered to our customers. For service and parts revenues recorded over time, we utilize a method that considers total costs incurred to date and the applicable margin in relation to total expected efforts to complete our performance obligation in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize over time. Recognition of this revenue over time reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to for the transfer of goods and services performed to date, representative of the amount for which we have a right to payment.

The amount of consideration we receive for vehicle and product sales is stated within the executed contract with our customer. The amount of consideration we receive for parts and service sales is based upon labor hours expended and parts utilized to perform and complete the necessary services to our customers. Payment is typically due upon delivery, upon invoice, or within a period of time shortly thereafter. We receive payment from our customers upon transfer of control or within a period typically less than 30 days subsequent to transfer of control or invoice.

We record revenue from the distribution of engines and other products at a point in time when delivered, which is when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership and control are considered passed to the customer. We record revenue for service or repair work over time as work is completed, and when parts are delivered to our customers. For service and parts revenues recorded over time, we utilize a method that considers total costs incurred to date and the applicable margin in relation to total expected efforts to complete our performance obligation in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize over time. Recognition of revenue over time reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to for the transfer of goods and services performed to date, representative of the amount for which we have a right to payment.

For our long-term power generation contracts, we record revenue over time as services are provided in accordance with contract milestones, which is considered an output method that requires judgment to determine our progress towards contract completion and the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. Any revisions to estimates related to revenues or costs to complete contracts are recorded in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

The amount of consideration we receive for engine, product, and power generation sales is stated within the executed contract with our customer. The amount of consideration we receive for service sales is based upon labor hours expended and parts utilized to perform and complete the necessary services to our customers. Payment is typically due upon delivery, upon invoice, or within a period of time shortly thereafter. We receive payment from our customers upon transfer of control or within a period typically less than 30 days subsequent to transfer of control or invoice.

Service and parts revenue represented $51.0 million and $100.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and $69.0 million and $134.4 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, for Penske Australia.

Unearned revenues	$	257.8	$	262.9

Contracts in transit represent receivables from unaffiliated finance companies relating to the sale of customers’ installment sales and lease contracts arising in connection with the sale of a vehicle by us. Vehicle receivables represent receivables for any portion of the vehicle sales price not paid by the finance company. Manufacturer receivables represent amounts due from manufacturers, including incentives, holdbacks, rebates, warranty claims, and other receivables due from the factory. Trade receivables represent receivables due from customers, including amounts due for parts and service sales, as well as receivables due from finance companies and others for the commissions earned on financing and commissions earned on insurance and extended service products provided by third parties. We evaluate collectability of receivables and estimate an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the age of the receivable, contractual life, historical collection experience, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions, which is recorded within “Accounts receivable” on our consolidated balance sheets with our receivables presented net of the allowance.

Unearned revenues primarily relate to payments received from customers prior to satisfaction of our performance obligations, such as customer deposits and deferred revenues from operating leases. These amounts are presented within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets. Of the amounts recorded as unearned revenues as of December 31, 2019, $180.4 million was recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Additional Revenue Recognition Related Policies

We do not have any material significant payment terms associated with contracts with our customers. Payment is due and collected as previously detailed for each reportable segment. We do not offer material rights of return or service-type warranties.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recorded on a net basis (excluded from revenue). Shipping costs incurred subsequent to transfer of control to our customers are recognized as cost of sales. Sales promotions that we offer to customers are accounted for as a reduction of revenues at the time of sale.

3. Leases

We lease land and facilities, including certain dealerships and office space. Our property leases are generally for an initial period between 5 and 20 years, and are typically structured to include renewal options at our election. We include renewal options that we are reasonably certain to exercise in the measurement of our lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. We also have equipment leases that primarily relate to office and computer equipment, service and shop equipment, company vehicles, and other miscellaneous items. These leases are generally for a period of less than 5 years. We do not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance leasing arrangement.

We estimate the total undiscounted rent obligations under these leases, including any extension periods that we are reasonably certain to exercise, to be $5.3 billion as of June 30, 2020. Some of our lease arrangements include rental

18

payments that are adjusted based on an index or rate, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). As the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable for our operating leases, the discount rates used to determine the present value of our lease liability are based on our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date and commensurate with the remaining lease term. Our incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

Pursuant to the leases for some of our larger facilities, we are required to comply with specified financial ratios, including a “rent coverage” ratio and a debt to EBITDA ratio, each as defined. For these leases, non-compliance with the ratios may require us to post collateral in the form of a letter of credit. A breach of the other lease covenants gives rise to certain remedies by the landlord, the most severe of which include the termination of the applicable lease and acceleration of the total rent payments due under the lease.

In connection with the sale, relocation and closure of certain of our franchises, we have entered into a number of third-party sublease agreements. The rent paid by our sub-tenants on such properties was $6.5 million and $12.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and $5.7 million and $11.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. We have in the past and may in the future enter into sale-leaseback transactions to finance certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sell property to third parties and agree to lease those assets back for a certain period of time. Such sales generate proceeds that vary from period to period. We had 0 proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $7.3 million during the six months June 30, 2019. We do not have any material leases that have not yet commenced as of June 30, 2020.

The following table summarizes our net operating lease cost during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

4. Significant Equity Method Investees

We hold a 28.9% ownership interest in Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P. (“PTL”), a leading provider of transportation and supply chain services. Penske Transportation Solutions (“PTS”) is the universal brand name for PTL’s various business lines. Our investment in PTS is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. PTS equity earnings represent a significant portion of our consolidated pre-tax income. We recorded $43.5 million and $63.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, on our statements of income under the caption “Equity in earnings of affiliates” related to earnings from PTS investment.

The disposals during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were within our Retail Automotive reportable segment. We sold 4 retail automotive franchises. As of June 30, 2020, the goodwill balance within our Retail Automotive, Retail Commercial Truck, and Other reportable segments was $1,493.8 million, $308.4 million and $75.9 million, respectively. There is 0 goodwill recorded in our Non-Automotive Investments reportable segment.

8. Vehicle Financing

We finance substantially all of the commercial vehicles we purchase for distribution, new vehicles for retail sale, and a portion of our used vehicle inventories for retail sale, under floor plan and other revolving arrangements with various lenders, including the captive finance companies associated with automotive manufacturers. In the U.S., the floor plan arrangements are due on demand; however, we have not historically been required to repay floor plan advances prior to the sale of the vehicles that have been financed. We typically make monthly interest payments on the amount financed. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we received interest payment deferrals from certain lenders related to COVID-19 relief. Outside of the U.S., substantially all of the floor plan arrangements are payable on demand or have an original maturity of 90 days or less, and we are generally required to repay floor plan advances at the earlier of the sale of the vehicles that have been financed or the stated maturity.

The agreements typically grant a security interest in substantially all of the assets of our dealership and distribution subsidiaries and, in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand, are guaranteed or partially guaranteed by us. Interest rates under the arrangements are variable and increase or decrease based on changes in the prime rate, defined London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the Finance House Base Rate, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate (“BBSW”), or the New Zealand Bank Bill Benchmark Rate. To date, we have not experienced any material limitation with respect to the amount or availability of financing from any institution providing us vehicle financing. We also receive non-refundable credits from certain of our vehicle manufacturers, which are treated as a reduction of cost of sales as vehicles are sold.

The weighted average interest rate on floor plan borrowings was 1.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We classify floor plan notes payable to a party other than the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle and all floor plan notes payable relating to pre-owned vehicles as “Floor plan notes payable — non-trade” on our consolidated balance sheets and classify related cash flows as a financing activity on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

9. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed using net income attributable to Penske Automotive Group common stockholders and the number of weighted average shares of voting common stock outstanding, including outstanding unvested equity awards which contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends. Diluted earnings per share is computed using net income attributable to Penske Automotive Group common stockholders and the number of weighted average shares of voting common stock outstanding, adjusted for any dilutive effects. A reconciliation of the number of shares used in

22

the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 follows:

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended

U.S. Credit Agreement

On July 6, 2020, we amended our US. credit agreement (the “US. credit agreement”) with Mercedes-Benz Financial Services USA LLC and Toyota Motor Credit Corporation to provide for an additional $100 million of borrowing capacity effective August 1, 2020. The US. credit agreement, as amended August 1, will provide for up to $800.0 million in revolving loans for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, investments, and other general corporate purposes, which includes $250.0 million in revolving loans solely for acquisitions, and up to $50 million of letters of credit. The US. credit agreement provides for a maximum of $150.0 million of borrowings for foreign acquisitions and expires on September 30, 2022. The interest rate on revolving loans is LIBOR plus 1.75%, subject to an incremental 1.25% for uncollateralized borrowings in excess of a defined borrowing base. In April of 2020, the lenders consented to a deferral of interest under the US. Credit Agreement for the months of April, May and June, until December 2020.

The U.S. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries and contains a number of significant covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay certain other indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. We are also required to comply with specified financial and other tests and ratios, each as defined in the U.S. credit agreement including: a ratio of current assets to current liabilities, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a ratio of debt to stockholders’ equity and a ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the agreement, the most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of the amounts owed.

23

The U.S. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change of control, non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to our other material indebtedness. Substantially all of our U.S. assets are subject to security interests granted to the lenders under the U.S. credit agreement. As of June 30, 2020, we had 0 outstanding revolver borrowings under the U.S. credit agreement.

U.K. Credit Agreement

Our subsidiaries in the U.K. (the “U.K. subsidiaries”) are party to a £150.0 million revolving credit agreement with the National Westminster Bank plc and BMW Financial Services (GB) Limited, plus an additional £52.0 million of demand overdraft lines of credit, £40.0 million of which is only available on demand from March 20th to April 30th and September 20th to October 31st each year (relating to the peak sales periods in the U.K.), (collectively, the “U.K. credit agreement”) to be used for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, investments and general corporate purposes. The loans mature on the termination date of the facility, which is December 12, 2023. The revolving loans bear interest between defined LIBOR plus 1.10% and defined LIBOR plus 2.10%. The U.K. credit agreement also includes a £100.0 million “accordion” feature which allows the U.K. subsidiaries to request up to an additional £100.0 million of facility capacity. The lenders may agree to provide the additional capacity, and, if not, the U.K. subsidiaries may add an additional lender, if available, to the facility to provide such additional capacity. As of June 30, 2020, we had 0 outstanding revolver borrowings under the U.K. credit agreement.

The U.K. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by our U.K. subsidiaries, and contains a number of significant covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of our U.K. subsidiaries to pay dividends, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. In addition, our U.K. subsidiaries are required to comply with defined ratios and tests, including: a ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, amortization, and rental payments (“EBITAR”) to interest plus rental payments, a measurement of maximum capital expenditures, and a debt to EBITDA ratio. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the agreement, the most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of any amounts owed.

The U.K. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change of control and non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to other material indebtedness of our U.K. subsidiaries. Substantially all of our U.K. subsidiaries’ assets are subject to security interests granted to the lenders under the U.K. credit agreement.

Senior Subordinated Notes

We have issued the following senior subordinated notes:

Description	Maturity Date	Interest Payment Dates	Principal Amount
3.75% Notes	August 15, 2020	February 15, August 15	$300 million
5.75% Notes	October 1, 2022	April 1, October 1	$550 million
5.375% Notes	December 1, 2024	June 1, December 1	$300 million
5.50% Notes	May 15, 2026	May 15, November 15	$500 million

Each of these notes are our unsecured, senior subordinated obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by our 100% owned U.S. subsidiaries. Each also contain customary negative covenants and events of default. If we experience certain “change of control” events specified in the indentures, holders of these notes will have the option to require us to purchase for cash all or a portion of their notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if we make certain asset sales and do not reinvest the proceeds thereof or use such proceeds to repay certain debt, we will be required to use the proceeds of such asset sales to make an offer to purchase the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We classify our 3.75% Notes due August 15, 2020 as long-term debt as we have the intent and ability to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis with the availability from our U.S. Credit Agreement.

Optional redemption. We may redeem the 5.75% Notes for cash at the redemption prices noted in the indenture, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. We may redeem the 5.375% Notes for cash at the redemption prices noted in the

24

indenture, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to May 15, 2021, we may redeem the 5.50% Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 5.50% Notes, plus an applicable make whole premium, and any accrued and unpaid interest. On or after May 15, 2021, we may redeem the 5.50% Notes for cash at the redemption prices noted in the indenture, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

Australia Loan Agreements

Penske Australia is party to 2 facilities with Volkswagen Financial Services Australia Pty Limited representing a five year AU $50.0 million capital loan and a one-year AU $50.0 million working capital loan. Both facilities are subject to annual extensions. These agreements each provide the lender with a secured interest in all assets of these businesses. The loans bear interest at the Australian BBSW 30-day Bill Rate plus 3.0%. Irrespective of the term of the agreements, both agreements provide the lender with the ability to call the loans on 90 days’ notice. These facilities are also guaranteed by our U.S. parent company up to AU $50.0 million. As of June 30, 2020, we had AU $44.2 million ($30.5 million) outstanding under the capital loan agreement and had no outstanding borrowings under the working capital loan agreement.

Mortgage Facilities

We are party to several mortgages that bear interest at defined rates and require monthly principal and interest payments. These mortgage facilities also contain typical events of default, including non-payment of obligations, cross-defaults to our other material indebtedness, certain change of control events, and the loss or sale of certain franchises operated at the properties. Substantially all of the buildings and improvements on the properties financed pursuant to the mortgage facilities are subject to security interests granted to the lender. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we received principal and interest payment deferrals from certain lenders related to COVID-19 relief. As of June 30, 2020, we owed $417.0 million of principal under our mortgage facilities.

11. Derivatives and Hedging

Penske Australia sells vehicles, engines, parts and other products purchased from manufacturers in the U.S., Germany, and the U.K. In order to protect against exchange rate movements, Penske Australia enters into foreign exchange forward contracts against anticipated cash flows. The contracts are timed to mature when major shipments are scheduled to arrive in Australia and when receipt of payment from customers is expected. We classify our foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges and state them at fair value. We used Level 2 inputs to estimate the fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts. The fair value of the contracts designated as hedging instruments was estimated to be a liability of $0.4 million and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable rate floor plan debt. In April 2020, we entered into a new five-year interest rate swap agreement pursuant to which the LIBOR portion of $300.0 million of our U.S. floating rate floor plan debt is fixed at 0.5875%. This arrangement is in effect through April 2025. We may terminate this arrangement at any time, subject to the settlement at that time of the fair value of the swap arrangement.

The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge and the related gain or loss is deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Monthly contractual settlements of the position are recognized as Floorplan interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We had 0 gain or loss related to ineffectiveness recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. We use Level 2 inputs to estimate the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of the swap designated as hedging instruments was estimated to be a net liability of $5.6 million.

12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

We are involved in litigation which may relate to claims brought by governmental authorities, issues with customers, and employment related matters, including class action claims and purported class action claims. As of June 30, 2020,

25

we were not party to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits that, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We lease land and facilities, including certain dealerships and office space. Pursuant to the leases for some of our larger facilities, we are required to comply with specified financial ratios, including a “rent coverage” ratio and a debt to EBITDA ratio, each as defined. For these leases, non-compliance with the ratios may require us to post collateral in the form of a letter of credit. A breach of the other lease covenants gives rise to certain remedies by the landlord, the most severe of which include the termination of the applicable lease and acceleration of the total rent payments due under the lease. Refer to the disclosures provided in Note 3 for further description of our leases.

We have sold a number of dealerships to third parties and, as a condition to certain of those sales, remain liable for the lease payments relating to the properties on which those businesses operate in the event of non-payment by the buyer. We are also party to lease agreements on properties that we no longer use in our retail operations that we have sublet to third parties. We rely on subtenants to pay the rent and maintain the property at these locations. In the event the subtenant does not perform as expected, we may not be able to recover amounts owed to us and we could be required to fulfill these obligations.

Our floor plan credit agreement with Mercedes Benz Financial Services Australia (“MBA”) provides us revolving loans for the acquisition of commercial vehicles for distribution to our retail network. This facility includes a commitment to repurchase dealer vehicles in the event the dealer’s floor plan agreement with MBA is terminated.

We have $49.0 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2020, and have posted $21.7 million of surety bonds in the ordinary course of business.

13. Equity

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased 890,195 shares of our outstanding common stock for $29.4 million, or an average of $33.06 per share, under our securities repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors. While we did not repurchase any common stock under this program during the second quarter of 2020, we acquired 133,093 shares of our common stock for $4.8 million, or an average of $35.99 per share, from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity awards. As of June 30, 2020, our remaining authorization under our securities repurchase program was $170.6 million.

15. Segment Information

Our operations are organized by management into operating segments by line of business and geography. We have determined that we have 4 reportable segments as defined in generally accepted accounting principles for segment reporting: (i) Retail Automotive, consisting of our retail automotive dealership operations; (ii) Retail Commercial Truck, consisting of our retail commercial truck dealership operations in the U.S. and Canada; (iii) Other, consisting of our commercial vehicle and power systems distribution operations and other non-automotive consolidated operations; and (iv) Non-Automotive Investments, consisting of our equity method investments in non-automotive operations. The Retail Automotive reportable segment includes all automotive dealerships and all departments relevant to the operation of the dealerships and our retail automotive joint ventures. The individual dealership operations included in the Retail Automotive reportable segment represent 6 operating segments: Eastern, Central, and Western United States, Stand-Alone Used United States, International, and Stand-Alone Used International. These operating segments have been aggregated into 1 reportable segment as their operations (A) have similar economic characteristics (all are automotive dealerships having similar margins), (B) offer similar products and services (all sell new and/or used vehicles, service, parts and third-party finance and insurance products), (C) have similar target markets and customers (generally individuals) and (D) have similar distribution and marketing practices (all distribute products and services through dealership facilities that market to customers in similar fashions). Revenue and segment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.” We have acquired and initiated a number of businesses during the periods presented and addressed in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Our financial statements include the results of operations of those businesses from the date acquired or when they commenced operations. Our period to period results of operations may vary depending on the dates of acquisitions or disposals.

Overview

We are a diversified international transportation services company that operates automotive and commercial truck dealerships principally in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, and distributes commercial vehicles, diesel engines, gas engines, power systems and related parts and services principally in Australia and New Zealand.

COVID-19 Disclosure

Overview - The outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe has adversely impacted each of our markets and the global economy, leading to disruptions to our business. The pandemic continues in all of our markets. Governmental authorities have taken countermeasures to slow the outbreak including shelter-in-place orders, stay at home orders, large-scale restrictions on travel, and government-funded assistance programs to individuals and businesses. In April and May of 2020, as a result of business closures and shelter-in-place orders, same-store new and used automotive retail unit sales declined 71% and 50%, while service and parts revenue declined 60% and 43%, respectively, when compared to the same months last year. In June 2020, as operations began to reopen, our retail automotive business same-store new and used unit sales decreased 1% compared to the same month last year and service and parts revenue decreased 3%. The pandemic is a highly fluid and rapidly evolving situation, and while we continue to adjust our operations to conform to regulatory changes and consumer preferences in the evolving environment, we cannot anticipate with any certainty the length, scope, or severity of the business impact from the pandemic in each of the jurisdictions that we operate. See “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

In response to shelter-in-place orders resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our automotive and commercial vehicle showrooms were closed (though all have since reopened). In permissible jurisdictions, however, we continued limited sales activity by appointment or through our e-commerce channels. Virtually all of our service, parts, and collision center departments remained open during the crisis, and curbside or home delivery offerings supplemented our traditional service offerings. We modified certain business practices to conform to government restrictions and best practices encouraged by government and regulatory authorities. In all of our locations, we implemented enhanced cleaning procedures, enforced social distancing guidelines, and took other precautions to maintain the health and safety of our employees and customers. We continue to experience interim business closures at some of our facilities in response to a customer or employee reporting a positive test result for COVID-19. When we become aware of such result, we notify appropriate personnel and deep clean our facility, which may include closure of that facility. We also are experiencing increased costs for providing the appropriate level of safety equipment for our facilities and employees, as well as increased costs for daily and enhanced deep cleaning when appropriate.

Across the company, we implemented a hiring freeze and expense reductions, and postponed an estimated $150 million in capital expenditures. We also furloughed over 15,000 employees in February and March in various countries. As of July 1, 2020, we have brought back employees to work according to business levels and approximately 14% of our workforce remained furloughed. We have also reduced our workforce by approximately 2,000 employees. Our remaining employees have been working reduced hours or have taken pay cuts, including a temporary 100% reduction in salary for the CEO and President, a 25% reduction in salary for our other executive officers (reduced to 12.5% beginning July 1, 2020), and the Board of Directors has waived cash compensation through September 30, 2020.

29

Most of our manufacturer partners began suspending production beginning in late March while many started to reopen beginning in late May. Our inventory levels have allowed us to continue to do business with the slowdown in sales driven by the pandemic; however, we are experiencing limited inventory of certain models. Our manufacturer partners began providing us with additional incentive support in March. In addition, our manufacturer and lending partners are providing support to retail customers such as increased incentives, payment deferrals, as well as 0% financing on certain vehicles and term lengths.

United States – Beginning in March 2020, shelter-in-place rules in many states either required we close dealerships or limit our automotive dealership operations to essential services. Virtual/online sales of new and used vehicles remained available in all locations, while the service departments remained open to support critical transportation needs. In May, many shelter-in-place rules began to expire, and restrictions were slowly lifted in many states allowing us to reopen dealerships. Same-store new and used automotive retail unit sales declined 50% in April and 26% in May when compared to the same month last year. In June 2020, our automotive dealership operations across the U.S. experienced a 9% decrease in unit volume and a 5% decrease in service and parts revenues compared to the prior year on a same store basis. Our U.S. used supercenters experienced a same-store used unit sales decrease of 20% in the month of June.

Commercial truck dealership sales and service operations remained open in most locations around the U.S. and Canada providing essential services to our customers. We have continued to experience steady demand for new and used truck sales and service and parts throughout 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the North American Class 8 retail sales market declined 51.1% while our new same-store unit sales declined 52.2% during the same period while same-store revenue declined 40.2%. However, in total, which includes the acquisition of Warner Trucks we completed in the third quarter of 2019, total units retailed decreased 8.2%, and revenue decreased 6.5% to $399.2 million.

Penske Transportation Solutions – We have a 28.9% ownership interest in Penske Transportation Solutions ("PTS"). As an integral part of the North American supply chain, PTS has been generally classified as essential by governmental authorities. This has allowed PTS to remain operating in much of its business, providing crucial supply chain and transportation services to its customers. While its full-service leasing and contract maintenance businesses remained consistent, commercial rental utilization slowed during April and May but began to increase in June with the expirations of the shelter-in-place orders. PTS experienced mixed results in the logistics services business as increased volume in the grocery sector was offset by plant closings in automotive and manufacturing but have returned to normal operations. In response, PTS implemented, among other items, approximately 7,000 layoffs, a 30% reduction in executive salaries (which reduction was eliminated beginning July 1, 2020), and reduced associate work schedules, although most personnel have returned to work as of July 2020.

United Kingdom – All dealerships closed on March 24, 2020 in accordance with government orders, though we provided service and parts operations on an emergency basis. Over 90% of the employees in the U.K. were placed on furlough beginning March 24, 2020. However, we opened substantially all service and parts operations in mid-May and showrooms in early June. As of July 1, 2020, approximately 1,950 employees, or approximately 20% of the U.K. workforce, remain on furlough. Same-store new and used automotive retail unit sales declined nearly 100% in April and 85% in May when compared to the same month last year. In June 2020, our automotive dealership operations across the U.K. experienced a 9% increase in unit volume and a 1% decrease in service and parts revenues on a same store basis, when compared to June 2019. Our U.K. used supercenters experienced a same-store used unit sales decrease of 6% in the month of June.

Australia – In most jurisdictions, non-essential business operations were closed by government order in March 2020 though many governmental restrictions have since been lifted. Penske Australia has been deemed essential throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore, sales, parts, service, and defense functions continue to remain operational.

Government Assistance – We received government assistance in most of our jurisdictions through COVID-19 related government programs which provided tax credits or direct wage or health care assistance payments to us. These programs generally require us to claim tax credits or apply to the government for reimbursement of wages or employee health benefits based on the applicable laws and programs within each jurisdiction. In the second quarter, we received $49.5 million of wage assistance for furloughed employees in the U.K, as well as an additional $6.4 million of assistance and tax credits in our U.S. and other jurisdictions. As a result, we recorded a reduction to selling, general, and administrative expenses of approximately $55.9 million for the amount of government assistance received during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

30

Liquidity – As of June 30, 2020, we had $159.3 million of cash and access to an additional $1 billion of availability through our revolving credit facilities. On August 15, 2020, our $300 million of 3.75% senior subordinated notes are due. We currently expect to pay those notes with the availability from our U.S. Credit Agreement which was undrawn as of June 30, 2020.

Risks and Uncertainties – The full impact that COVID-19 will have on our business cannot be predicted at this time due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business closures, the effectiveness of actions taken to contain the disease, the development of a reliable vaccine, the effect of government assistance programs, production levels from our manufacturing partners, and other unintended consequences. This impact could include changes in customer demand; our relationship with, and the financial and operational capacities of, vehicle manufacturers, captive finance companies and other suppliers; workforce availability; risks associated with our indebtedness (including available borrowing capacity, compliance with financial covenants and ability to refinance or repay indebtedness on favorable terms); the adequacy of our cash flow and earnings and other conditions which may affect our liquidity; our ability to pay our quarterly dividend at prior levels; and disruptions to our technology network and other critical systems, including our dealer management systems and software or other facilities or equipment.

We believe that business disruption relating to the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively impact the global economy and may materially affect our businesses as outlined above, or in other manners, all of which would adversely impact our business and results of operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, our business generated $8.7 billion in total revenue, which is comprised of $7.6 billion from retail automotive dealerships, $890.6 million from retail commercial truck dealerships and $199.5 million from commercial vehicle distribution. We generated $1.3 billion in gross profit, which is comprised of $1.1 billion from retail automotive dealerships, $129.0 million from retail commercial truck dealerships and $56.2 million from commercial vehicle distribution and other operations.

Retail Automotive Dealership. We believe we are the second largest automotive retailer headquartered in the U.S. as measured by the $20.6 billion in total retail automotive dealership revenue we generated in 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we operated 317 retail automotive franchises, of which 145 franchises are located in the U.S. and 172 franchises are located outside of the U.S. The franchises outside the U.S. are located primarily in the U.K. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we retailed and wholesaled more than 222,000 vehicles. We are diversified geographically, with 60% of our total retail automotive dealership revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2020 generated in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and 40% generated outside the U.S. We offer over 35 vehicle brands, with 70% of our retail automotive dealership revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2020 generated from premium brands, such as Audi, BMW, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. Each of our franchised dealerships offers a wide selection of new and used vehicles for sale. In addition to selling new and used vehicles, we generate higher-margin revenue at each of our dealerships through maintenance and repair services and the sale and placement of third-party finance and insurance products, third-party extended service and maintenance contracts and replacement and aftermarket automotive products.

We also operate sixteen used vehicle supercenters in the U.S. and the U.K. which retail and wholesale used vehicles under a one price, “no-haggle” methodology. Our CarSense operations in the U.S. consist of six locations operating in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania market areas. Our CarShop operations in the U.K. consist of ten retail locations and a vehicle preparation center. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, these used vehicle supercenters retailed 6,600 and 22,912 units and generated $132.6 million and $438.1 million in revenue, respectively.

Retail automotive dealerships represented 87.4% of our total revenues and 86.1% of our total gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Retail Commercial Truck Dealership. We operate a heavy and medium duty truck dealership group known as Premier Truck Group (“PTG”) offering primarily Freightliner and Western Star trucks (both Daimler brands), with locations in Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia, Utah, Idaho, and Canada. As of June 30, 2020, PTG operated 25 locations. PTG also offers a full range of used trucks available for sale as well as service and parts departments, providing a full range of maintenance and repair services.

31

This business represented 10.3% of our total revenues and 9.7% of our total gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Penske Australia. We are the exclusive importer and distributor of Western Star heavy-duty trucks, MAN heavy and medium duty trucks and buses (a VW Group brand), and Dennis Eagle refuse collection vehicles, together with associated parts, across Australia, New Zealand and portions of the Pacific. In most of these same markets, we are also a leading distributor of diesel and gas engines and power systems, principally representing MTU, Detroit Diesel, Allison Transmission, MTU Onsite Energy, and Rolls Royce Power Systems. This business, known as Penske Australia, offers products across the on- and off-highway markets, including in the construction, mining, marine, and defense sectors, and supports full parts and aftersales service through a network of branches, field locations and dealers across the region.

These businesses represented 2.3% of our total revenues and 4.2% of our total gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Penske Transportation Solutions. We hold a 28.9% ownership interest in Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P (“PTL”). PTL is owned 41.1% by Penske Corporation, 28.9% by us, and 30.0% by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”). We account for our investment in PTL under the equity method, and we therefore record our share of PTL’s earnings on our statements of income under the caption “Equity in earnings of affiliates,” which also includes the results of our other equity method investments. Penske Transportation Solutions (“PTS”) is the universal brand name for PTL’s various business lines through which it is capable of meeting customers’ needs across the supply chain with a broad product offering that includes full-service truck leasing, truck rental and contract maintenance, along with logistic services such as dedicated contract carriage, distribution center management, transportation management, lead logistics provider services and dry van truckload carrier services. We recorded $43.5 million and $63.8 million in equity earnings from this investment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Outlook

Retail Automotive Dealership. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, U.S. light vehicle retail market decreased 23.5%, as compared to the same period last year, to 6.5 million units, with a decrease of 18.3% in sales of trucks, crossovers and sport utility vehicles and a decrease of 35.8% in sales of passenger cars. We believe the year over year declines are attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. See “COVID-19 Disclosure” above.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, U.K. new vehicle registrations decreased 48.5%, as compared to the same period last year, to 653,502 registrations. During June 2020 as many dealership showrooms began to re-open, U.K. new vehicle registrations decreased 34.9%, as compared to the same period last year, to 145,377 registrations. We believe the year over year declines are significantly attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. See “COVID-19 Disclosure” above.

U.K. sales may also be negatively affected by the economic and political uncertainty caused by the U.K.’s exit from the European Union (“Brexit”) which occurred on January 31, 2020, at which point the U.K. is legally outside of the European Union. A Brexit implementation period runs until December 31, 2020, in which the U.K., European Union, and other countries will work to establish future trading terms. We believe Brexit may continue to impact new and used sales as well as consumer confidence and the economic environment generally, and may lead to further declines in new and used vehicle sales in future periods. Since no country has previously left the European Union, the outcome of any future negotiations between the U.K. and the European Union is uncertain and may affect the timing, terms of trade, and the level of new vehicle registrations in those markets. In addition, new and used vehicle market values have recently declined in the U.K. which has impacted sales prices and gross profit. U.K. sales were also being negatively affected by the uncertainty of residual values, potentially higher taxes on diesel-powered vehicles, and consumer confusion about low emission zones as the U.K. and Western European countries consider the ramifications of diesel engines on the environment, while also providing government incentives on certain electric vehicles. Representatives of the U.K government suggested a ban on the sale of gasoline and gasoline hybrid engines in cars and vans potentially starting as early as 2032. Sales of diesel-powered vehicles experienced a 64.9% decline, while non-diesel vehicles experienced a 42.5% decrease in sales during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Premium/luxury unit sales, which account for over

32

92% of our U.K. new unit sales, decreased 46.8% in the first six months of 2020, as compared to a 48.5% decline for the overall market.

Retail Commercial Truck Dealership. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, North American sales of Class 6-8 medium and heavy-duty trucks, the principal vehicles for our PTG business, decreased 38.0% from the same period last year to 157,626 units. During June 2020, North American sales of Class 6-8 medium and heavy-duty trucks, the principal vehicles for our PTG business, decreased 39.9% from the same period last year to 26,845 units. Any significant decline in North American retail sales may materially and adversely affect our retail commercial truck dealerships. See “COVID-19 Disclosure” above.

Commercial Vehicle Distribution. Our Penske Australia distribution business operates principally in the Australian and New Zealand heavy and medium-duty truck markets. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Australian heavy-duty truck market reported sales of 4,919 units, representing a decrease of 23.4% from the same period last year, while the New Zealand market reported sales of 1,254 units, representing a decrease of 30.2% from the same period last year. During June 2020, the Australian heavy-duty truck market reported sales of 1,134 units, representing a decrease of 12.0% from the same period last year, while the New Zealand market reported sales of 230 units, representing a decrease of 13.2% from the same period last year. The brands we represent in Australia hold a 4.2% market share in the Australian heavy-duty truck market, and a 2.8% market share in New Zealand. See “COVID-19 Disclosure” above.

Penske Transportation Solutions. PTS services have been largely deemed essential by government authorities during the COVID-19 pandemic and a majority of the PTS business is generated by multi-year contracts for full-service leasing, contract maintenance and logistics services. See “COVID-19 Disclosure” above.

As described in “Forward-Looking Statements,” there are a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Operating Overview

Automotive and commercial truck dealerships represent the majority of our results of operations. New and used vehicle revenues typically include sales to retail customers, to fleet customers, and to leasing companies providing consumer leasing. We generate finance and insurance revenues from sales of third-party extended service contracts, sales of third-party insurance policies, commissions relating to the sale of finance and lease contracts to third parties, and the sales of certain other products. Service and parts revenues include fees paid by customers for repair, maintenance and collision services, and the sale of replacement parts and other aftermarket accessories, as well as warranty repairs that are reimbursed directly by various OEMs.

Our gross profit tends to vary with the mix of revenues we derive from the sale of new vehicles, used vehicles, finance and insurance products, and service and parts transactions. Our gross profit varies across product lines, with vehicle sales usually resulting in lower gross profit margins and our other revenues resulting in higher gross profit margins. Factors such as inventory and vehicle availability, customer demand, consumer confidence, unemployment, general economic conditions, seasonality, weather, credit availability, fuel prices, and manufacturers’ advertising and incentives also impact the mix of our revenues, and therefore influence our gross profit margin.

The results of our commercial vehicle distribution business in Australia and New Zealand are principally driven by the number and types of products and vehicles ordered by our customers.

Aggregate revenue and gross profit decreased $2,104.7 million and $314.9 million, or 36.6% and 36.3%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and decreased $2,660.0 million and $389.7 million, or 23.5% and 22.7%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019. See “COVID-19 Disclosure” above.  

As exchange rates fluctuate, our revenue and results of operations as reported in U.S. Dollars fluctuate. For example, if the British Pound were to weaken against the U.S. Dollar, our U.K. results of operations would translate into less U.S. Dollar reported results. Foreign currency average rate fluctuations decreased revenue and gross profit by $27.0 million

33

and $4.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and decreased revenue and gross profit by $76.9 million and $12.1 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Foreign currency average rate fluctuations had no impact on earnings per share from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and decreased earnings per share from continuing operations by approximately $0.01 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency average rate fluctuations, revenue and gross profit decreased 36.1% and 35.8%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and increased 22.8% and 22.0%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Our selling expenses consist of advertising and compensation for sales personnel, including commissions and related bonuses. General and administrative expenses include compensation for administration, finance, legal and general management personnel, rent, insurance, utilities and other expenses. As the majority of our selling expenses are variable, and we believe a significant portion of our general and administrative expenses are subject to our control, we believe our expenses can be adjusted over time to reflect economic trends.

Floor plan interest expense relates to financing incurred in connection with the acquisition of new and used vehicle inventories that is secured by those vehicles. Other interest expense consists of interest charges on all of our interest-bearing debt, other than interest relating to floor plan financing, and includes interest relating to our retail commercial truck dealership and commercial vehicle distribution operations. The cost of our variable rate indebtedness is based on the prime rate, defined London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the Bank of England Base Rate, the Finance House Base Rate, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate, or the New Zealand Bank Bill Benchmark Rate.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, the authority that regulates LIBOR, announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is the rate that represents the best practice as the alternative to USD-LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. Our senior secured revolving credit facilities in the U.S. and U.K., and many of our floorplan arrangements, utilize LIBOR as a benchmark for calculating the applicable interest rate. We cannot predict the effect of the potential changes to or elimination of LIBOR or the establishment and use of alternative rates or benchmarks and the corresponding effects on our cost of capital.

Equity in earnings of affiliates represents our share of the earnings from our investments in joint ventures and other non-consolidated investments, including PTS.

The future success of our business is dependent upon, among other things, general economic and industry conditions, including the recovery time-frame for the global economy in light of COVID-19; our ability to react effectively to changing business conditions in light of COVID-19; our ability to consummate and integrate acquisitions; the level of vehicle sales in the markets where we operate; our ability to increase sales of higher margin products, especially service and parts sales; our ability to realize returns on our significant capital investment in new and upgraded dealership facilities; our ability to navigate a rapidly changing automotive and truck landscape; the success of our distribution of commercial vehicles, engines, and power systems; and the return realized from our investments in various joint ventures and other non-consolidated investments. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the application of accounting policies that often involve making estimates and employing judgments. Such judgments influence the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses recognized in our financial statements. Management, on an ongoing basis, reviews these estimates and assumptions. Management may determine that modifications in assumptions and estimates are required, which may result in a material change in our results of operations or financial position.

The accounting policies and estimates that we believe to be most dependent upon the use of estimates and assumptions are: revenue recognition, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, investments, self-insurance

34

reserves, lease recognition, and income taxes. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2019 annual report on Form 10-K for additional detail and discussion of these critical accounting policies and estimates.

Results of Operations

The following tables present comparative financial data relating to our operating performance in the aggregate and on a “same-store” basis. Dealership results are included in same-store comparisons when we have consolidated the acquired entity during the entirety of both periods being compared. As an example, if a dealership were acquired on January 15, 2018, the results of the acquired entity would be included in annual same-store comparisons beginning with the year ended December 31, 2020 and in quarterly same-store comparisons beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

The results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 have been adversely impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 and each of the items mentioned below should be reviewed in light of our discussion under “COVID-19 Disclosure” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” which are incorporated herein.

Units

Retail unit sales of new vehicles decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to a 22,927 unit, or 42.8%, decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, coupled with a 1,532 unit decrease from net dealership dispositions. Same-store units decreased 31.8% in the U.S. and decreased 60.8% internationally. Overall, new units decreased 31.9% in the U.S. and decreased 63.5% internationally. The decrease in units is primarily due to the significant decline in our retail automotive business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above.

Revenues

New vehicle retail sales revenue decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to an $877.8 million, or 38.8%, decrease in same-store revenues, coupled with a $47.9 million decrease from net dealership dispositions. Excluding $6.6 million of

35

unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store new retail revenue decreased 38.5%. The same-store revenue decrease is due to the decrease in same-store unit sales, which decreased revenue by $967.5 million, partially offset by a $2,924 per unit increase in comparative average selling prices (including a $213 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $89.7 million.

Gross Profit

Retail gross profit from new vehicle sales decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $64.1 million, or 37.6%, decrease in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $4.5 million decrease from net dealership dispositions. Excluding $0.7 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit decreased 37.2%. The decrease in same-store gross profit is due to the decrease in same-store new retail unit sales which decreased gross profit by $72.8 million, partially offset by a $286 per unit increase in the average gross profit per new vehicle retailed (including a $23 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased gross profit by $8.7 million.

Same-store units decreased 24.4% in the U.S and decreased 53.7% internationally. Same-store retail units for our U.S. and U.K. used vehicle supercenters decreased 47.4% and 70.0%, respectively. Overall, used units decreased 24.1% in the U.S. and decreased 55.2% internationally. The decrease in units is primarily due to the significant decline in our retail automotive business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above.

Revenues

Used vehicle retail sales revenue decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $652.4 million, or 36.0%, decrease in same-store revenues, coupled with a $34.3 million decrease from net dealership dispositions. Excluding $8.7 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store used retail revenue decreased 35.5%. The same-store revenue decrease is primarily due to a decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $722.3 million, partially offset by a $1,654 per unit increase in comparative average selling prices (including a $206 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $69.9 million. The average sales price per unit for our used vehicle supercenters increased 11.8% to $16,546.

Gross Profit

Retail gross profit from used vehicle sales decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $44.7 million, or 44.7%, decrease in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $1.1 million decrease from net dealership dispositions. Excluding $1.0 million of

36

unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit decreased 43.7%. The decrease in same-store gross profit is due to a decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, which decreased gross profit by $39.9 million, coupled with a $113 per unit decrease in average gross profit per used vehicle retailed (including a $23 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which decreased gross profit by $4.8 million. The average gross profit per unit for our used vehicle supercenters increased 11.9% to $1,060.

Same-store finance and insurance revenue per unit	$	1,325	$	1,316	$	9	0.7	%

Finance and insurance revenue decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $66.4 million, or 40.7%, decrease in same-store revenues, coupled with a $2.0 million decrease from net dealership dispositions. Excluding $0.5 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store finance and insurance revenue decreased 40.4%. The same-store revenue decrease is due to a decrease in same-store retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $67.0 million, partially offset by a $9 per unit increase in comparative average finance and insurance revenue per unit (including a $6 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $0.6 million. Finance and insurance revenue per unit increased 0.7% in the U.S. and decreased 0.4% in the U.K. We believe the increase in same-store finance and insurance revenue per unit is primarily due to our efforts to increase finance and insurance revenue, which include implementing hands-on digital customer sales platforms, additional training, and targeting underperforming locations.

The decrease in service and parts revenue is due to a $195.2 million, or 36.1%, decrease in same-store revenues, coupled with a $10.3 million decrease from net dealership dispositions. Excluding $1.9 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store service and parts revenue decreased 35.8%. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to a $124.2 million, or 34.3%, decrease in customer pay revenue, a $56.0 million, or 39.5%, decrease in warranty revenue, and a $15.0 million, or 41.3%, decrease in vehicle preparation and body shop revenue.

Same-store new truck units decreased largely due to the 51.1% decrease in the North American Class 8 heavy-duty truck market retail sales during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Revenues

New commercial truck retail sales revenue decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $146.9 million decrease in same-store revenues, partially offset by an $86.4 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to a decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $154.5 million, partially offset by a $6,074 per unit increase in comparative average selling prices, which increased revenue by $7.6 million.

Gross Profit

New commercial truck retail gross profit decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $5.9 million decrease in same-store gross profit, partially offset by a $3.7 million increase from net dealership acquisitions.

Units

Retail unit sales of used trucks increased from 2019 to 2020 due to a 270 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions, coupled with a 62, or 14.1%, unit increase in same-store retail unit sales. We believe the increase in used truck sales is due to the decrease in average selling price and our digital marketing efforts. 

Revenues

Used commercial truck retail sales revenue increased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $12.8 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a $3.5 million decrease in same-store revenues. The same-store revenue decrease is due to a $14,755 per unit decrease in comparative average selling prices, which decreased revenue by $6.5 million, partially offset by the increase in same-store used retail unit sales, which increased revenue by $3.0 million.

Gross Profit

Used commercial truck retail gross profit decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $5.0 million decrease in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $0.8 million decrease from net dealership acquisitions. The decrease in same-store gross profit is due to a $10,810 per unit decrease in average gross profit per used truck retailed, which decreased gross profit by $5.0 million. The decline in average gross profit per used truck retailed is attributable to an oversupply of used trucks in the market, coupled with new truck availability during 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019.

Revenues

Service and parts revenue increased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $35.6 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by an $18.6 million decrease in same-store revenues. Customer pay work represents approximately 76.6% of PTG’s service and parts revenue, largely due to the significant amount of retail sales of parts and accessories. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to a $16.8 million, or 21.3%, decrease in customer pay revenue, a $1.5 million, or 12.8%, decrease in warranty revenue, and a $0.3 million, or 8.8%, decrease in body shop revenue. The same-store decrease in service and parts is primarily due to the decline in our retail truck business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above.

Gross Profit

Service and parts gross profit increased from 2019 to 2020 due to an $18.3 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a $6.4 million decrease in same-store gross profit. The same-store gross profit decrease is due to the decrease in same-store revenues, which decreased gross profit by $7.5 million, partially offset by a 1.3% increase in gross margin, which increased gross profit by $1.1 million. The same-store gross profit decrease is due to a $5.6 million, or 20.9%, decrease in customer pay gross profit, a $0.6 million, or 11.5%, decrease in warranty gross profit, and a $0.2 million, or 5.0%, decrease in body shop gross profit.

Depreciation	$	27.9	$	27.1	$	0.8	3.0	%

The increase in depreciation from 2019 to 2020 is primarily due to a $0.9 million, or 3.4%, increase in same-store depreciation, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease from net dealership acquisitions/dispositions.

Units

Retail unit sales of new vehicles decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to a 32,103 unit, or 30.3%, decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, coupled with a 3,539 unit decrease from net dealership dispositions. Same-store units decreased 22.8% in the U.S. and decreased 41.7% internationally. Overall, new units decreased 23.1% in the U.S. and decreased 45.9% internationally. The decrease in units is primarily due to the significant decline in our retail automotive business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above.

Revenues

New vehicle retail sales revenue decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $1,188.7 million, or 26.8%, decrease in same-store revenues, coupled with a $103.7 million decrease from net dealership dispositions. Excluding $28.3 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store new retail revenue decreased 26.2%. The same-store revenue decrease is due to the decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $1,344.5 million, partially offset by a $2,110 per unit increase in comparative average selling prices (including a $383 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $155.8 million.

Gross Profit

Retail gross profit from new vehicle sales decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $93.4 million, or 27.6%, decrease in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $9.3 million decrease from net dealership dispositions. Excluding $2.5 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit decreased 26.9%. The decrease in same-store gross profit is due to the decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, which decreased gross profit by $102.4 million, partially offset by a $122 per unit increase in the average gross profit per new vehicle retailed (including a $34 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased gross profit by $9.0 million.

Finance and insurance revenue decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to an $80.0 million, or 25.0%, decrease in same-store revenues, coupled with a $4.0 million decrease from net dealership dispositions. Excluding $1.6 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store finance and insurance revenue decreased 24.5%. The same-store revenue decrease is due to a decrease in same-store retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $89.1 million, partially offset by a $51 per unit increase in comparative average finance and insurance revenue per unit (including a $9 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $9.1 million. Finance and insurance revenue per unit increased 3.8% in the U.S. and 5.1% in the U.K. We believe the increase in same-store finance and insurance revenue per unit is primarily due to our efforts to increase finance and insurance revenue, which include implementing hands-on digital customer sales platforms, additional training, and targeting underperforming locations.

Units

Retail unit sales of used trucks increased from 2019 to 2020 due to a 456 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions, coupled with a 158, or 18.4%, unit increase in same-store retail unit sales. We believe the increase in used truck sales is due to the decrease in average selling price and our digital marketing efforts.

Revenues

Used commercial truck retail sales revenue increased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $22.3 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in same-store revenues. The same-store revenue decrease is due to an $11,948 per unit decrease in comparative average selling prices, which decreased revenue by $10.2 million, partially offset by the increase in same-store used retail unit sales, which increased revenue by $7.7 million.

Gross Profit

Used commercial truck retail gross profit decreased from 2019 to 2020 due to an $8.6 million decrease in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $2.3 million decrease from net dealership acquisitions. The decrease in same-store gross profit is due to a $9,476 per unit decrease in average gross profit per used truck retailed, which decreased gross profit by $8.6 million. The decline in average gross profit per used truck retailed is attributable to an oversupply of used trucks in the market, coupled with new truck availability during 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019.

Customer pay work represents approximately 76.7% of PTG’s service and parts revenue, largely due to the significant amount of retail sales of parts and accessories. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to a $22.3 million, or 14.3%, decrease in customer pay revenue, and a $1.4 million, or 6.1%, decrease in warranty revenue. The same-store decrease in service and parts is primarily due to the decline in our retail truck business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above

Gross Profit

Service and parts gross profit increased from 2019 to 2020 due to a $37.0 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a $7.9 million decrease in same-store gross profit. The same-store gross profit decrease is due to the decrease in same-store revenues, which decreased gross profit by $9.6 million, partially offset by a 0.8% increase in gross margin, which increased gross profit by $1.7 million. The same-store gross profit decrease is due to a $7.5 million, or 13.9%, decrease in customer pay gross profit, a $0.5 million, or 4.2%, decrease in warranty gross profit, and partially offset by a $0.1 million, or 1.3%, increase in body shop gross profit.

Income taxes decreased from 2019 to 2020 primarily due to a $161.0 million decrease in our pre-tax income compared to the prior year. Our effective tax rate was 27.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to

48

25.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to fluctuations in our geographic pre-tax income mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash requirements are primarily for working capital, inventory financing, the acquisition of new businesses, the improvement and expansion of existing facilities, the purchase or construction of new facilities, debt service and repayments, dividends and potential repurchases of our outstanding securities under the program discussed below. Historically, these cash requirements have been met through cash flow from operations, borrowings under our credit agreements and floor plan arrangements, the issuance of debt securities, sale-leaseback transactions, mortgages, and dividends and distributions from joint venture investments.

We have historically expanded our operations through organic growth and the acquisition of dealerships and other businesses. We believe that cash flow from operations, dividends and distributions from our joint venture investments, and our existing capital resources, including the liquidity provided by our credit agreements and floor plan financing arrangements, will be sufficient to fund our existing operations and current commitments for at least the next twelve months. In the event that economic conditions remain impacted for longer than we expect due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we pursue significant acquisitions or other expansion opportunities, pursue significant repurchases of our outstanding securities, or refinance or repay existing debt, we may need to raise additional capital either through the public or private issuance of equity or debt securities or through additional borrowings, which sources of funds may not necessarily be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In addition, our liquidity could be negatively impacted in the event we fail to comply with the covenants under our various financing and operating agreements or in the event our floor plan financing is withdrawn.

On August 15, 2020, our $300 million of 3.75% senior subordinated notes are due. We currently expect to pay those notes with the availability from our U.S. Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2020, we had $159.3 million of cash available to fund our operations and capital commitments. In addition, we had $700.0 million, £162.0 million ($200.9 million), and AU $50.0 million ($34.5 million) available for borrowing under our U.S. credit agreement, U.K. credit agreement, and Australian working capital loan agreement, respectively. On July 6, 2020, we amended our U.S. credit agreement to provide for an additional $100 million of borrowing capacity effective August 1, 2020.

Securities Repurchases

From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized securities repurchase programs pursuant to which we may, as market conditions warrant, purchase our outstanding common stock or debt on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, via a tender offer, or through a pre-arranged trading plan. We have historically funded any such repurchases using cash flow from operations, borrowings under our U.S. credit agreement, and borrowings under our U.S. floor plan arrangements. The decision to make repurchases will be based on factors such as the market price of the relevant security versus our view of its intrinsic value, the potential impact of such repurchases on our capital structure, and our consideration of any alternative uses of our capital, such as for acquisitions and strategic investments in our current businesses, in addition to any then-existing limits imposed by our finance agreements and securities trading policy. As of June 30, 2020, we have $170.6 million in repurchase authorization under the existing securities repurchase program. Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 13 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a summary of shares repurchased under our securities repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Dividends

We paid the following cash dividends on our common stock in 2019 and 2020:

Per Share Dividends

2019
First Quarter	$	0.38
Second Quarter		0.39
Third Quarter		0.40
Fourth Quarter		0.41

2020

Second Quarter	$	—

In May 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors suspended our cash dividend. We previously paid a quarterly dividend of $0.42 per share to shareholders on March 3, 2020. Future quarterly or other cash dividends will depend upon a variety of factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors, which may include our expectations regarding the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, our earnings, cash flow, capital requirements, restrictions relating to any then-existing indebtedness, financial condition, and other factors.

Vehicle Financing

Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 8 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a detailed description of financing for the vehicles we purchase, including discussion of our floor plan and other revolving arrangements.

Long-Term Debt Obligations

As of June 30, 2020, we had the following long-term debt obligations outstanding:

As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under our credit agreements and we believe we will remain in compliance with such covenants for the next twelve months. Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 10 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a detailed description of our long-term debt obligations.

Short-Term Borrowings

We have four principal sources of short-term borrowings: the revolving portion of the U.S. credit agreement, the revolving portion of the U.K. credit agreement, our Australian working capital loan agreement and the floor plan agreements that we utilize to finance our vehicle inventories. We are also able to access availability under the floor plan agreements to fund our cash needs, including payments made relating to our higher interest rate revolving credit agreements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, outstanding revolving commitments varied between $0.0 million and $350.0 million under the U.S. credit agreement, between £0.0 million and £140.0 million ($0.0 million and $173.6 million) under the U.K. credit agreement’s revolving credit line (excluding the overdraft facility), and between AU $0.0 million and AU $20.0 million ($0.0 million and $13.8 million) under the Australia working capital loan agreement. The amounts outstanding under our floor plan agreements varied based on the timing of the receipt and expenditure of cash in our operations, driven principally by the levels of our vehicle inventories.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable rate floor plan debt. In April 2020, we entered into a new five-year interest rate swap agreement pursuant to which the LIBOR portion of $300.0 million of our U.S. floating rate floor plan debt is fixed at 0.5875%. This arrangement is in effect through April 2025. We may terminate this arrangement at any time, subject to the settlement at that time of the fair value of the swap arrangement.

PTS Dividends

We hold a 28.9% ownership interest in PTS as noted above. Their partnership agreement requires PTS, subject to applicable law and the terms of its credit agreements, to make quarterly distributions to the partners with respect to each fiscal year by no later than 45 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of the year and by April 15 of the following year. PTS’ principal debt agreements allow partner distributions only as long as they are not in default under that agreement and the amount they pay does not exceed 50% of its consolidated net income. We receive pro rata cash distributions relating to this investment, typically in April, May, August and November of each year. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we received $25.0 million and $31.8 million, respectively, of pro rata cash distributions relating to this investment. We currently expect to continue to receive future distributions from PTS quarterly, subject to its financial performance.

Sale/Leaseback Arrangements

We have in the past and may in the future enter into sale-leaseback transactions to finance certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sell property and/or leasehold improvements to third parties and agree to lease those assets back for a certain period of time. Such sales generate proceeds that vary from period to period.

Operating Leases

As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our operating leases consisting principally of leases for dealership and other properties, and we believe we will remain in compliance with such covenants for the next twelve months. Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 3 and Note 12 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a description of our operating leases.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 12 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a description of our off-balance sheet arrangements, which include lease obligations and a repurchase commitment related to our floor plan credit agreement with Mercedes Benz Financial Services Australia.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

The following is a description of the terms and conditions of the guarantees with respect to senior subordinated notes of Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (“PAG”) as the issuer of the 5.75% Notes, the 5.375% Notes, the 5.50% Notes, and the 3.75% Notes (collectively the “Senior Subordinated Notes”).

Each of the Senior Subordinated Notes are our unsecured, senior subordinated obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by our 100% owned U.S. subsidiaries. Each also contain customary negative covenants and events of default. If we experience certain “change of control” events specified in the indentures, holders of these notes will have the option to require us to purchase for cash all or a portion of their notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if we make certain asset sales and do not reinvest the proceeds thereof or use such proceeds to repay certain debt, we will be required to use the proceeds of such asset sales to make an offer to purchase the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Guarantor subsidiaries are directly or indirectly 100% owned by PAG, and the guarantees are full and unconditional, and joint and several. The guarantees may be released under certain circumstances upon resale, or transfer by us of the stock of the related guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of the guarantor to a non-affiliate. Non-wholly owned and foreign subsidiaries of PAG do not guarantee the Senior Subordinated Notes (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The following tables present summarized financial information for PAG and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis. The financial information of issuers and guarantors is presented on a combined basis; intercompany balances and transactions between issuers and guarantors have been eliminated; the issuer’s or guarantor’s amounts due from, amounts due to, and transactions with non-issuer and non-guarantor subsidiaries and related parties are disclosed separately.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, PAG received $13.0 million from non-guarantor subsidiaries for the repayment of a short-term note. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, PAG received $77.3 million in distributions from non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the changes in our cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities. The major components of these changes are discussed below.

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2020		2019
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	784.4	$	304.6
Net cash used in continuing investing activities		(47.8)		(122.0)
Net cash used in continuing financing activities		(605.2)		(178.1)
Net cash provided by discontinued operations		0.1		—
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		(0.3)		(0.1)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	131.2	$	4.4

Cash Flows from Continuing Operating Activities

Cash flows from continuing operating activities includes net income, as adjusted for non-cash items and the effects of changes in working capital. Our cash flows from continuing operating activities were positively impacted during the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to deferrals of floorplan interest, sales and use tax, and mortgage interest resulting from the COVID-19 related relief provided by our lenders and government jurisdictions.

We finance substantially all of the commercial vehicles we purchase for distribution, new vehicles for retail sale, and a portion of our used vehicle inventories for retail sale, under floor plan and other revolving arrangements with various lenders, including the captive finance companies associated with automotive manufacturers. We retain the right to select which, if any, financing source to utilize in connection with the procurement of vehicle inventories. Many vehicle manufacturers provide vehicle financing for the dealers representing their brands; however, it is not a requirement that we utilize this financing. Historically, our floor plan finance source has been based on aggregate pricing considerations.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles relating to the statement of cash flows, we report all cash flows arising in connection with floor plan notes payable with the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle as an operating activity in our statement of cash flows, and all cash flows arising in connection with floor plan notes payable to a party other than the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle, all floor plan notes payable relating to pre-owned vehicles, and all floor plan notes payable related to our commercial vehicles in Australia and New Zealand, as a financing activity in our statement of cash flows. Currently, the majority of our non-trade vehicle financing is with other manufacturer captive lenders. To date, we have not experienced any material limitation with respect to the amount or availability of financing from any institution providing us vehicle financing.

We believe that changes in aggregate floor plan liabilities are typically linked to changes in vehicle inventory, and therefore, are an integral part of understanding changes in our working capital and operating cash flow. As a result, we prepare the following reconciliation to highlight our operating cash flows with all changes in vehicle floor plan being classified as an operating activity for informational purposes:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2020		2019
Net cash from continuing operating activities as reported	$	784.4	$	304.6
Floor plan notes payable — non-trade as reported		(309.9)		6.8
Net cash from continuing operating activities including all floor plan notes payable	$	474.5	$	311.4

Cash Flows from Continuing Investing Activities

Cash flows from continuing investing activities consist primarily of cash used for capital expenditures, proceeds from the sale of dealerships, proceeds from sale of equipment and improvements, and net expenditures for acquisitions and other investments. Capital expenditures were $76.8 million and $134.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Capital expenditures relate primarily to improvements to our existing dealership facilities, the construction of new facilities, the acquisition of the property or buildings associated with existing leased facilities, and the acquisition of land for future development. We currently expect to finance our retail automotive segment and retail commercial truck segment capital expenditures with operating cash flows or borrowings under our U.S. or U.K. credit agreements. Proceeds from the sale of dealerships were $10.3 million and $7.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of equipment and improvements were $19.8 million and $5.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We had no cash used in acquisitions and other investments, net of cash acquired, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Cash Flows from Continuing Financing Activities

Cash flows from continuing financing activities include net borrowings or repayments of long-term debt, net borrowings or repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade, repurchases of common stock, and dividends.

We had net repayments of long-term debt of $205.8 million and net borrowings of $9.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We had net repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade of $309.9 million and net borrowings of $6.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We repurchased common stock for a total of $29.4 million and $130.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We also paid cash dividends to our stockholders of $34.2 million and $64.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we made payments of $21.1 million to settle contingent consideration to sellers related to previous acquisitions.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations

Cash flows relating to discontinued operations are not currently considered, nor are they expected to be, material to our liquidity or our capital resources. Management does not believe that there are any material past, present or upcoming cash transactions relating to discontinued operations.

Related Party Transactions

Stockholders Agreement

Several of our directors and officers are affiliated with Penske Corporation or related entities. Roger S. Penske, our Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is also Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Penske Corporation, and through entities affiliated with Penske Corporation, our largest stockholder owning approximately 43% of our outstanding common stock. Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsui & Co. (USA), Inc. (collectively, “Mitsui”) own approximately 17% of our outstanding common stock. Mitsui, Penske Corporation and certain other affiliates of Penske Corporation are parties to a stockholders agreement pursuant to which the Penske affiliated companies agreed to vote their shares for up to two directors who are representatives of Mitsui. In turn, Mitsui agreed to vote their shares for up to fourteen directors voted for by the Penske affiliated companies. This agreement terminates in March 2030, upon the mutual consent of the parties, or when either party no longer owns any of our common stock.

Other Related Party Interests and Transactions

Robert Kurnick, Jr., our President and a director, is also the Vice Chair and a director of Penske Corporation. Bud Denker, our Executive Vice President, Human Resources, is also the President of Penske Corporation. Greg Penske, one of our directors, is the son of our chair and is also a director of Penske Corporation. Michael Eisenson, one of our

54

directors, is also a director of Penske Corporation. Masashi Yamanaka, one of our directors, is also an employee of Mitsui & Co.

We sometimes pay to and/or receive fees from Penske Corporation, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates, for services rendered in the ordinary course of business or to reimburse payments made to third parties on each other’s behalf. These transactions are reviewed periodically by our Audit Committee and reflect the provider’s cost or an amount mutually agreed upon by both parties.

We own a 28.9% interest in PTS. PTS, discussed previously, is owned 41.1% by Penske Corporation, 28.9% by us, and 30.0% by Mitsui. We have also entered into other joint ventures with certain related parties as more fully discussed below.

Joint Venture Relationships

We are party to a number of joint ventures pursuant to which we own and operate automotive dealerships together with other investors. We may provide these dealerships with working capital and other debt financing at costs that are based on our incremental borrowing rate. As of June 30, 2020, our retail automotive joint venture relationships included:

Location	Dealerships	Ownership Interest
Fairfield, Connecticut	Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Sprinter, Porsche	80.00	% (A)
Greenwich, Connecticut	Mercedes-Benz	80.00	% (A)
Edison, New Jersey	Bentley, Ferrari, Maserati	20.00	% (B)

(B)Entity is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Additionally, we are party to non-automotive joint ventures representing our investments in PTS (28.9%) and Penske Commercial Leasing Australia (28%) that are accounted for under the equity method.

Cyclicality

Unit sales of motor vehicles, particularly new vehicles, have been cyclical historically, fluctuating with general economic cycles. During economic downturns, the automotive and truck retailing industries tend to experience periods of decline and recession similar to those experienced by the general economy. We believe that these industries are influenced by general economic conditions and particularly by consumer confidence, the level of personal discretionary spending, fuel prices, interest rates, and credit availability.

Our business is dependent on a number of factors including general economic conditions, fuel prices, interest rate fluctuations, credit availability, environmental and other government regulations and customer business cycles. U.S. light vehicle sales have ranged from a low of 10.4 million units in 2009 to a high 17.5 million units in 2016. Unit sales of new commercial vehicles have historically been subject to substantial cyclical variation based on these general economic conditions. According to data published by A.C.T. Research, in recent years, total U.S. retail sales of new Class 8 commercial vehicles have ranged from a low of approximately 97,000 in 2009, to high of approximately 333,779 in 2019. Through geographic expansion, concentration on higher margin regular service and parts revenues and diversification of our customer base, we have attempted to reduce the negative impact of adverse general economic conditions or cyclical trends affecting the Class 8 commercial vehicle industry on our earnings.

55

Seasonality

Dealership. Our business is modestly seasonal overall. Our U.S. operations generally experience higher volumes of vehicle sales in the second and third quarters of each year due in part to consumer buying trends and the introduction of new vehicle models. Also, vehicle demand, and to a lesser extent demand for service and parts, is generally lower during the winter months than in other seasons, particularly in regions of the U.S. where dealerships may be subject to severe winters. Our U.K. operations generally experience higher volumes of new vehicle sales in the first and third quarters of each year, due primarily to new vehicle registration practices in the U.K.

Commercial Vehicle Distribution. Our commercial vehicle distribution business generally experiences higher sales volumes during the second quarter of the year, which is primarily attributable to commercial vehicle customers completing annual capital expenditures before their fiscal year-end, which is typically June 30 in Australia.

Effects of Inflation

We believe that inflation rates over the last few years have not had a significant impact on revenues or profitability. We do not expect inflation to have any near-term material effects on the sale of our products and services; however, we cannot be sure there will be no such effect in the future. We finance substantially all of our inventory through various revolving floor plan arrangements with interest rates that vary based on various benchmarks. Such rates have historically increased during periods of increasing inflation.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include those mentioned in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the following:

● our business and the automotive retail and commercial vehicles industries in general are susceptible to adverse economic conditions, including changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, customer demand, customer confidence, fuel prices, unemployment rates and credit availability (including any adverse impact from the COVID-19 pandemic discussed in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors);

● the political and economic outcome of Brexit in the U.K.;

● increased tariffs, import product restrictions, and foreign trade risks that may impair our ability to sell foreign vehicles profitably, including any eventual tariffs resulting from the threats from the Trump Administration to add 25% tariffs on foreign vehicles or parts;

● the number of new and used vehicles sold in our markets;

● the effect on our businesses of the trend of electrification of vehicle engines, new mobility technologies such as shared vehicle services, such as Uber and Lyft, and the eventual availability of driverless vehicles;

● vehicle manufacturers exercise significant control over our operations, and we depend on them and the continuation of our franchise and distribution agreements in order to operate our business;

● we depend on the success, popularity and availability of the brands we sell, and adverse conditions affecting one or more vehicle manufacturers, including the adverse impact on the vehicle and parts supply chain due to natural disasters or other disruptions that interrupt the supply of vehicles and parts to us (including any disruptions resulting from the new fuel economy testing and Co2 emissions legislation in the United Kingdom and Europe or the COVID-19 pandemic discussed in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors), may negatively impact our revenues and profitability;

● we are subject to the risk that a substantial number of our new or used inventory may be unavailable due to recall or other reasons;

● the success of our commercial vehicle distribution operations and engine and power systems distribution operations depends upon continued availability of the vehicles, engines, power systems, and other parts we distribute, demand for those vehicles, engines, power systems, and parts and general economic conditions in those markets;

57

● a restructuring of any significant vehicle manufacturer or supplier;

● our operations may be affected by severe weather, such as the recent hurricanes in Puerto Rico, Florida and Texas, or other periodic business interruptions;

● we have substantial risk of loss not covered by insurance;

● we may not be able to satisfy our capital requirements for acquisitions, facility renovation projects, financing the purchase of our inventory, or refinancing of our debt when it becomes due;

● our level of indebtedness may limit our ability to obtain financing generally and may require that a significant portion of our cash flow be used for debt service;

● non-compliance with the financial ratios and other covenants under our credit agreements and operating leases;

● higher interest rates may significantly increase our variable rate interest costs and, because many customers finance their vehicle purchases, decrease vehicle sales;

● our operations outside of the U.S. subject our profitability to fluctuations relating to changes in foreign currency values, which have most recently occurred as a result of the June 2016 U.K. referendum for Brexit;

● with respect to PTS, changes in the financial health of its customers, labor strikes or work stoppages by its employees, a reduction in PTS’ asset utilization rates, continued availability from truck manufacturers and suppliers of vehicles and parts for its fleet, changes in values of used trucks which affects PTS’ profitability on truck sales, compliance costs in regards to its trucking fleet and truck drivers, its ability to retain qualified drivers and technicians, risks associated with its participation in multi-employer pension plans, conditions in the capital markets to assure PTS’ continued availability of capital to purchase trucks, the effect of changes in lease accounting rules on PTS customers’ purchase/lease decisions, and industry competition, each of which could impact distributions to us;

● we are dependent on continued security and availability of our information technology systems and we may be subject to fines, penalties, and other costs under applicable privacy laws if we do not maintain our confidential customer and employee information properly;

● if we lose key personnel, especially our Chief Executive Officer, or are unable to attract additional qualified personnel;

● new or enhanced regulations relating to automobile dealerships including those being considered by the Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K. restricting certain compensation we receive relating to automotive financing in the U.K.;

● changes in tax, financial or regulatory rules or requirements;

● we could be subject to legal and administrative proceedings which, if the outcomes are adverse to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business;

● if state dealer laws in the U.S. are repealed or weakened, our automotive dealerships may be subject to increased competition and may be more susceptible to termination, non-renewal or renegotiation of their franchise agreements;

● some of our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest with respect to certain related party transactions and other business interests; and

58

● shares of our common stock eligible for future sale may cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

We urge you to carefully consider these risk factors and further information under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in evaluating all forward-looking statements regarding our business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in the interest rates on a significant portion of our outstanding debt. Outstanding revolving balances under our credit agreements bear interest at variable rates based on a margin over defined LIBOR, the Bank of England Base Rate, or the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate. Similarly, amounts outstanding under floor plan financing arrangements bear interest at a variable rate based on a margin over the prime rate, defined LIBOR, the Finance House Base Rate, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate, or the New Zealand Bank Bill Benchmark Rate.

In April 2020, we entered into a new five-year interest rate swap agreement pursuant to which the LIBOR portion of $300.0 million of our U.S. floating rate floor plan debt is fixed at 0.5875%. Based on an average of the aggregate amounts outstanding under our floor plan financing arrangements subject to variable interest payments during the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2020, considering the swap arrangement, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an approximate $36.1 million change to our annual floor plan interest expense.

We evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and follow established policies and procedures to implement strategies designed to manage the amount of variable rate indebtedness outstanding at any point in time in an effort to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. These policies include:

● the maintenance of our overall debt portfolio with targeted fixed and variable rate components;

● the use of authorized derivative instruments;

● the prohibition of using derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes; and

● the prohibition of highly leveraged derivatives or derivatives which we are unable to reliably value, or for which we are unable to obtain a market quotation.

Interest rate fluctuations affect the fair market value of our fixed rate debt, including our swaps, mortgages, and certain seller financed promissory notes, but with respect to such fixed rate debt instruments, do not impact our earnings or cash flows.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. As of June 30, 2020, we had consolidated operations in the U.K., Germany, Italy, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In each of these markets, the local currency is the functional currency. In the event we change our intent with respect to the investment in any of our international operations, we would expect to implement strategies designed to manage those risks in an effort to mitigate the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. A ten percent change in average exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar would have resulted in an approximate $335.2 million change to our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

We purchase certain of our new vehicles, parts and other products from non-U.S. manufacturers. Although we purchase the majority of our inventories in the local functional currency, our business is subject to certain risks, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, changes in tax and tariff rates, other regulations and restrictions and foreign exchange rate volatility which may

59

influence such manufacturers’ ability to provide their products at competitive prices in the local jurisdictions. Our future results could be materially and adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive and financial officers, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In addition, we maintain internal controls designed to provide us with the information required for accounting and financial reporting purposes. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in litigation which may relate to claims brought by governmental authorities, customers, vendors, or employees, including class action claims and purported class action claims. We are not a party to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits, that individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on us. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 , which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The following updates the risk factors included in our 2019 Form 10-K and first quarter 2020 Form 10-Q:

COVID-19 has disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, our business, which could adversely affect our financial performance. The outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe has adversely impacted each of our markets and the global economy, leading to disruptions to our business. The pandemic continues in all of our markets. Governmental authorities have taken countermeasures to slow the outbreak including shelter-in-place orders, stay-at-home orders, large-scale restrictions on travel, and government-funded assistance programs to individuals and businesses. In April and May of 2020 because of business closures and shelter-in-place orders, same-store new and used automotive retail sales declined 60.1%, and even though most of our repair services were deemed essential under such restrictions, we also experienced a 52.0% decline in our automotive service and parts business and a 24.0% same-store decline in our commercial vehicle service and parts operations. However, these results began to improve in early June as business closures and shelter-in-place orders subsided. We are currently evaluating whether the improved results beginning in June are sustainable or resulting from pent-up demand. The pandemic is a highly fluid and rapidly evolving situation, and while we continue to adjust our operations to conform to regulatory changes and consumer preferences in the evolving environment, we cannot anticipate with any certainty the length, scope, or severity of the business impact from the pandemic in each of the jurisdictions that we operate. See “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

The full impact that COVID-19 will have on our business cannot be predicted at this time due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business closures, the effectiveness of actions

60

taken to contain the disease, the development of a reliable vaccine, the effect of government assistance programs, production levels from our manufacturing partners, and other unintended consequences. This impact could include changes in customer demand; our relationship with, and the financial and operational capacities of, vehicle manufacturers, captive finance companies and other suppliers; workforce availability; risks associated with our indebtedness (including available borrowing capacity, compliance with financial covenants and ability to refinance or repay indebtedness on favorable terms); the adequacy of our cash flow and earnings and other conditions which may affect our liquidity; our ability to pay our quarterly dividend at prior levels; and disruptions to our technology network and other critical systems, including our dealer management systems and software or other facilities or equipment.

We believe that business disruption relating to the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively impact the global economy and may materially affect our businesses as outlined above, or in other manners, all of which would adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased 890,195 shares of our common stock for $29.4 million, or an average of $33.06 per share, under our securities repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors. While we did not repurchase any common stock under this program during the second quarter of 2020, we acquired 133,093 shares of our common stock for $4.8 million, or an average of $35.99 per share, from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity awards. As of June 30, 2020, our remaining authorization under our securities repurchase program was $170.6 million.
