Addressing Recent Questions
Used vehicle auction and AFC dependencies
• Less than 11% of used vehicles sold at ADESA auctions are financed by AFC
• Less than 30% of AFC’s business comes from ADESA
Nature of auction trade accounts receivables and auction revenues
• Revenues generally include only our fees. Trade receivables include both the fees and the value of the vehicles sold
• Auction A/R is highly dependent upon the day of the week that the quarter closes
• Majority of used vehicle receivables are collected within five business days
Auction allowance for doubtful accounts
• The decline in ADESA’s 12/31/05 A/R allowance is due to write-off of receivables fully reserved prior to 2005
• There was virtually no impact to the income statement resulting from these write-offs, as the expense was recognized when the provision was established
AFC loss experience
• Continues to improve while portfolio grows and remains over 95% current
