Mark F. O’Neil, chairman and chief executive officer of Dealertrack Technologies, Inc., commented, “Our healthy third quarter performance allows us to remain squarely on track to achieve our full-year revenue expectations and our adjusted EBITDA margin target of approximately 25%, with revenue from recent acquisitions further contributing to our results. In addition to organic growth in our transaction and subscription businesses in the quarter, we are excited to further broaden our market opportunity with the addition of ClickMotive to our digital retailing suite. ClickMotive significantly strengthens Dealertrack’s existing eCarList digital retailing capabilities with an expanded website and digital marketing platform.Importantly, it gives Dealertrack access to a part of dealership advertising budgets, in addition to their technology budgets. We believe investments we are making to both broaden and deepen our product portfolio are improving our market leadership and position us for long-term growth.”
Updated Guidance for 2012
Dealertrack updated its 2012 annual guidance based on its third quarter results and for the acquisitions ofClickMotive and the assets of Ford Motor Company of Canada Limited’s iCONNECT Direct DMS business as follows:
Expected GAAP Results
| § | Revenue for the year is expected to be between $387.0 million and $390.0 million, an increase from prior guidance of between $381.0 million and $385.0 million. |
| § | GAAP net income for the year is expected to be between $21.5 million and $23.0 million, a decrease from prior guidance of between $24.5 million and $26.5 million. |
| § | Diluted GAAP net income per share for the year is expected to be between $0.49 and $0.52, a decrease from prior guidance of between $0.55 and $0.60 per share. |
Expected Non-GAAP Results
| § | Adjusted EBITDA for the year is expected to be between $96.5 millionand $98.0 million, an increase from prior guidance of between $96.0 millionand $98.0 million. |
| § | Adjusted net income for the year is expected to be between $48.0 millionand $49.5 million, an increase from prior guidance of between $47.5 millionand $49.5 million. |

| § | Diluted adjusted net income per share for the year is expected to be between $1.08 and $1.12, an increase from prior guidance of between $1.07 and $1.12. |
The updated guidance assumes car sales will be generally consistent with what we have seen during the first nine months of 2012, with new car sales by franchised dealers of approximately 14.3 million units and used car sales by franchised dealers of approximately 14.5 million units for 2012, an increase from our previous assumptions of 14.2 million units and 14.0 million units, respectively. Diluted GAAP net income and adjusted net income per share guidance for the year continue to be based on an estimated 44.3 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The updated guidance assumes an effective tax rate of 39% for the full year, a decrease from prior guidance of 39.5% at the mid-point.

Dealertrack will host a conference call to discuss its third quarter 2012 results and other matters on November 8, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The conference call will be webcast live on the Internet at ir.dealertrack.com. In addition, a live audio of the call will be accessible to the public by calling 877-303-6648 (domestic) or 970-315-0443 (international); no access code is necessary. Callers should dial in approximately 10 minutes before the call begins. A replay will be available on the Dealertrack Technologies, Inc. website until November 30, 2012.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income disclosures are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of net income. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, stock-based compensation, and contra-revenue and may exclude certain items such as: impairment charges, restructuring charges, impact of acquisition-related activity (including contingent consideration changes, compensation expense, basis difference amortization, and professional service fees), realized gains on sales of previously impaired securities, gains or losses on sales or disposals of subsidiaries and other assets, and certain other non-recurring items.
All stock-based compensation expense is excluded from the calculation of the adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP measure. This may reduce the comparability with prior periods. This non-cash expense was included in presentations prior to fourth quarter 2011.
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of acquired identifiable intangibles, and contra-revenue, and may also exclude certain items such as: impairment charges, restructuring charges, impact of acquisition-related activity (including contingent consideration changes, compensation expense, basis difference amortization, and professional service fees), realized gains on sales of previously impaired securities, gains or losses on sales or disposals of subsidiaries and other assets, adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances, non-cash interest expense and certain other non-recurring items. These adjustments to net income (loss), which are shown before taxes, are adjusted for their tax impact.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are presented because management believes that they provide additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and are also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are also presented because the purchase accounting treatment of acquisitions can have a negative impact on our GAAP results because the depreciation and amortization expenses associated with acquired assets, in particular intangibles which tend to have a relatively short useful life, can be substantial in the first several years following an acquisition. As a result, we monitor our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income and other business statistics as a measure of operating performance in addition to net income and the other measures included in our consolidated financial statements. Management believes the adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income information is useful to investors for these reasons. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income is GAAP net income (loss) and has provided a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted net income to GAAP net income (loss) in this press release.
