- AutoNation remained solidly profitable despite a distressed industry
environment
- Results driven by cost reductions and disciplined inventory management
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AutoNation, Inc.
(NYSE: AN), America's largest automotive retailer, today reported 2009 second
quarter net income from continuing operations of $55 million or $0.31 per
share, compared to year-ago net income from continuing operations of $56
million or $0.31 per share. After adjusting for certain items disclosed in the
attached financial tables, net income from continuing operations for the 2009
second quarter was $51 million or $0.29 per share, compared to $59 million or
$0.33 per share in the prior year.
Second quarter 2009 revenue totaled $2.6 billion, compared to $3.7 billion
in the year-ago period. The decrease was driven primarily by lower new
vehicle sales. In the second quarter, total U.S. industry retail new vehicle
sales declined 40% compared to last year, based on CNW Research data. In
comparison, in the second quarter AutoNation's new vehicle unit sales declined
38%.
Commenting on the second quarter, Mike Jackson, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, said, "Despite extraordinarily difficult industry
conditions, AutoNation delivered solid profitability, driven by cost
reduction, lower interest expense, and our disciplined operating model and
inventory management. The second quarter was a pivotal moment for the
automotive industry. Long-awaited volume stabilization, the successful
government-led restructuring of General Motors and Chrysler, and significant
dealer consolidations were accomplished. The industry is now positioned for a
healthy rebound when macroeconomic conditions, particularly consumer credit,
improved." Mr. Jackson also noted, "Our continued disciplined inventories led
to a year-over-year improvement in gross profit per vehicle retailed and lower
floor plan expense."
Mike Jackson added, "The stabilization of the SAAR in the second quarter
is the first step to a gradual recovery and marks the first time since the end
of 2007 that we did not see a significant sequential decline in industry new
vehicle sales. We also expect the 'Cash for Clunkers' program to stimulate new
vehicle sales. Going forward, we expect a gradual improvement of new vehicle
sales beginning in the second half of 2009 and intend to increase our
inventory of vehicles in a disciplined manner to meet demand. Having
weathered the storm, AutoNation remains in an excellent position to capitalize
on dealer consolidation and the gradual recovery in industry volumes. We will
continue to benefit from our $200 million structural cost reduction program."
At the end of the second quarter, AutoNation had nearly $450 million in
liquidity, including cash of $129 million and remained well within the limits
of the financial covenants in our debt agreements.
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.
-- Domestic -- Domestic segment income for the second quarter of 2009
was $26 million compared to year-ago segment income of $33 million.
Second quarter Domestic retail new vehicle unit sales declined 34%.
-- Import -- Import segment income for the second quarter of 2009 was
$42 million compared to year-ago segment income of $57 million.
Second quarter Import retail new vehicle unit sales declined 41%.
-- Premium Luxury -- Premium Luxury segment income for the second quarter
of 2009 was $43 million compared to year-ago segment income of $52
million. Second quarter Premium Luxury retail new vehicle unit sales
declined 34%.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported net
income from continuing operations of $108 million or $0.61 per share compared
to $111 million or $0.62 per share in the prior year. After adjusting for
certain items as disclosed in the attached financial tables, net income from

million or $0.51 per share, compared to $114 million or $0.63 per share. The
