FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., (February 3, 2011) —AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE: AN),America’s largest automotive retailer, today reported fourth quarter 2010 net income from continuing operations of $68 million, or $0.45 per share, an improvement of 55% (on a per share basis) compared to adjusted net income from continuing operations of $50 million, or $0.29 per share, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2009 excludes a benefit from a tax adjustment of $13 million, or $0.07 per share, as disclosed in the attached financial tables. On a GAAP basis, fourth quarter 2009 net income from continuing operations was $63 million, or $0.36 per share. There were no adjusting items for the fourth quarter of 2010.
Fourth quarter 2010 revenue totaled $3.2 billion, compared to $2.8 billion in the year-ago period, a 16% increase driven primarily by stronger new vehicle revenue. In the fourth quarter, total U.S. industry new vehicle retail unit sales increased 6%, based on CNW Research data. AutoNation’s new vehicle unit sales increased 15%, or 12% on a same-store basis.
AutoNation’s 2010 fourth quarter used retail vehicle revenue increased 24% compared to the year-ago period, as used retail unit sales increased 21%. Parts and service revenue increased 9% and finance and insurance revenue increased 21% compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, gross profit per new vehicle retailed improved $405, or 20%, compared to the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to a $247 benefit per new vehicle retailed from the recognition of certain performance-based manufacturer incentives, which were primarily related to premium luxury vehicles previously sold. Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2010 was favorably impacted by $11.8 million related to these incentives.
Commenting on the fourth quarter, Mike Jackson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to have delivered our highest ever annual and quarterly adjusted EPS from continuing operations while driving growth in all operating lines of business. We are proud of our strong year-over-year growth across all areas of our business, demonstrating our ability to perform in what we expect to be a multi-year recovery in auto retail.”
AutoNation has three operating segments: Domestic, Import, and Premium Luxury. The Domestic segment is comprised of stores that sell vehicles manufactured by General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler; the Import segment is comprised of stores that sell vehicles manufactured primarily by Toyota, Honda, and Nissan; and the Premium Luxury segment is comprised of stores that sell vehicles manufactured primarily by Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus. Segment results for the fourth quarter were as follows:
• | Domestic - Domestic segment income(2) was $37 million compared to year-ago segment income of $24 million. Fourth quarter Domestic retail new vehicle unit sales increased 22%, driven in part by strong pick-up truck sales. |
• | Import - Import segment income(2) was $46 million compared to year-ago segment income of $41 million. Fourth quarter Import retail new vehicle unit sales increased 14%. |
• | Premium Luxury - Premium Luxury segment income(2) was $66 million compared to year-ago segment income of $48 million. Fourth quarter Premium Luxury retail new vehicle unit sales increased 4%. |
For the full year ended December 31, 2010, the Company reported adjusted net income from continuing operations of $247 million or $1.56 per share, compared to $204 million or $1.15 per share for the prior year. Adjusted net income from continuing operations for 2010 excludes debt refinancing costs of $12 million after-tax, or $0.08 per share. Adjusted net income from continuing operations for 2009 excludes a net benefit of $29 million after-tax, or $0.16 per share, primarily related to a favorable tax adjustment, a net gain on asset sales and a gain on senior note repurchases. On a GAAP basis, net income from continuing operations for 2010 was $235 million, or $1.48 per share, compared to $233 million, or $1.31 per share, for the prior year. The Company’s revenue for the full year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $12.5 billion, up 17% compared to $10.7 billion in the prior year.
Jackson also stated, “We are optimistic for the long-term prospects of the auto industry based on the successful restructuring of the domestic auto industry and the move to a demand-pull system. We expect a continued gradual increase in the selling rate over the course of the year and are using a planning assumption for 2011 industry new unit sales of 12.8 million units.”
AutoNation also announced that it signed an agreement to acquire Ft. Myers Toyota in Florida. The annual revenue run rate is approximately $135 million. The acquisition of Ft. Myers Toyota is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed by the end of the 2011 first quarter.
