Interim Financial Statements | 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 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 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 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 United Kingdom Australia Government Assistance Liquidity Risks and Uncertainties 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 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 retail 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. 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 four retail automotive franchises in the U.K. and made no acquisitions. Retail Commercial Truck Dealership. Penske Australia 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. 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 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 no 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. Disposals During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we disposed of four 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- 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. |
