________________________________________________
DECLARES DIVIDEND OF $0.30 PER SHARE FOR SECOND QUARTER
Medford, Oregon, July 24, 2019 - Lithia Motors, Inc. (NYSE: LAD) today reported the highest second quarter revenue and earnings per share in company history.
Second quarter 2019 revenue increased 4% to a record $3.2 billion from $3.1 billion in the second quarter of 2018.
Second quarter 2019 net income per diluted share was $2.63, an 8% increase over $2.44 per diluted share reported in the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted second quarter 2019 net income per diluted share was $2.95, a 17% increase compared to net income of $2.52 per diluted share in the same period of 2018. Second quarter 2019 net income was $62 million, a 2% increase compared to net income of $61 million in the same period of 2018. Adjusted second quarter 2019 net income was $69 million, an 11% increase compared to net income of $63 million for the same period of 2018.
As shown in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables, the 2019 second quarter adjusted results exclude a $0.32 net non-core charge primarily due to weather related events and acquisition expenses. The 2018 second quarter adjusted results exclude an $0.08 net non-core charge related to acquisition expenses and weather related events partially offset by a tax attribute.
Second Quarter-over-Quarter Operating Highlights:
• | Total income from operations increased 7.6% |
• | Total same store sales increased 5.8% |
• | Same store new vehicle retail sales increased 0.2% |
• | Same store used vehicle retail sales increased 12.3% |

"Our second quarter results demonstrate the success of our operating model," said Bryan DeBoer, President and CEO. "Our commitment to serve customers wherever, whenever, however they desire is improving our performance with same store increases in all business lines."
For the first six months of 2019 revenues increased 5% to $6.1 billion, compared to $5.8 billion in 2018.
Net income for the first six months of 2019 was $5.08 per diluted share, compared to $4.50 per diluted share in 2018. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the first six months of 2019 increased 18% to $5.42 from $4.59 in 2018.
Corporate Development
During the second quarter, we continued the optimization of our network with the addition of Hamilton Honda in Hamilton Township, New Jersey and Ford Lincoln of Morgantown in Morgantown, West Virginia. In July, we added our first Jaguar Land Rover franchise in Mission Viejo, California. These acquisitions are expected to add over $320 million in annualized revenue.
We invest in innovation to advance our position as a leading provider of personal transportation solutions. Initiatives are pursued in several categories, including investments to drive improvements and efficiencies in our existing operations, vertical and horizontal adjacencies to our core business, and through bold partnerships with emerging disruptors.
"Expanding our physical network combined with enhanced digital solutions will allow for us to further increase market reach and drive profitability," said DeBoer. "The acquisition market remains active and we are well positioned to accelerate our growth strategy in the coming quarters."
Balance Sheet Update
We ended the second quarter with $45 million in cash and $218 million in availability under our credit facility. Additionally, approximately $329 million of our operating real estate is currently unfinanced, which we estimate could provide $247 million in capital, for total potential liquidity of approximately $510 million.
"Our disciplined capital deployment strategy is a catalyst for our growth combined with maintaining low leverage" said Tina Miller, Senior Vice President and CFO. "We prioritize allocating capital for acquisitions, internal investments, innovation and shareholder return."
Dividend Payment
Our Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.30 per share related to second quarter 2019 financial results. We expect to pay the dividend on August 23, 2019 to shareholders of record on August 9, 2019.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this presentation, and at times made by our officers and representatives, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “project”, “outlook,” “target”, “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “seek,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “likely,” “goal,” “strategy,” “future,” “maintain,” and “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. Examples of forward-looking statements in this presentation include, among others, statements regarding:
• | Future market conditions, including anticipated national new car sales levels; |
• | Expected operating results, such as improved store performance; continued improvement of selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as a percentage of gross profit and all projections; |
• | Anticipated integration, success and growth of acquired stores; |
• | Anticipated ability to capture additional market share; |
• | Anticipated ability to find accretive acquisitions; |
• | Expected revenues from acquired stores; |
• | Anticipated synergies, ability to monetize our investment in digital innovation; |
• | Anticipated additions of dealership locations to our portfolio in the future; |
• | Anticipated availability of liquidity from our unfinanced operating real estate; |
• | Anticipated levels of capital expenditures in the future; and |
• | Our strategies for customer retention, growth, market position, financial results and risk management. |
Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements in this presentation. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimated or projected results include, without limitation:
• | future economic and financial conditions (both nationally and locally); |
• | changes in customer demand, our relationship with, and the financial and operational stability of, vehicle manufacturers and other suppliers; |
• | 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 ability to pay our quarterly dividend at the planned level; |
• | disruptions to our technology network including computer systems and software, as well as natural events such as severe weather, fires, floods and earthquakes or man-made or other disruptions of our operating systems, structures, facilities or equipment; and |
• | government regulations, legislation and others set forth throughout “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. |
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share, adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue and gross profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted operating profit as a percentage of gross profit, adjusted pre-tax margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, leveraged EBITDA and adjusted total debt. Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under GAAP and may be defined differently by and not comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, we review any non-GAAP financial measures in connection with a review of the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution you not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We present cash flows from operations in the attached tables, adjusted to include the change in non-trade floor plan debt to improve the visibility of cash flows related to vehicle financing. As required by SEC rules, we have reconciled these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the attachments to this release. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures we present improve the transparency of our disclosures; provide a meaningful presentation of our results from core business operations, because they exclude items not related to core business operations and other non-cash items; and improve the period-to-period comparability of our results from core business operations. These presentations should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.
