Lithia Reports Highest Second Quarter Net Income in Company History

Declares Dividend of $0.31 Per Share for Second Quarter

MEDFORD, Ore. - Lithia Motors, Inc. (NYSE: LAD) today reported second quarter 2020 revenue of $2.8 billion.

Second quarter 2020 net income per diluted share was $3.38, a 29% increase from $2.63 per diluted share reported in the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted second quarter 2020 net income per diluted share was $3.72, a 26% increase compared to adjusted net income of $2.95 per diluted share in the same period of 2019.

Second quarter 2020 net income was $78 million, a 26% increase compared to net income of $62 million in the same period of 2019. Adjusted second quarter 2020 net income was $86 million, a 23% increase compared to adjusted net income of $69 million for the same period of 2019.

As shown in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables, the 2020 second quarter adjusted results exclude a $0.34 net non-core charge related to an impairment charge, insurance reserves and acquisition expenses, partially offset by a net gain on sale of stores and a beneficial tax attribute. The 2019 second quarter adjusted results exclude a $0.32 net non-core charge due to a net loss on sale of stores, insurance reserves, and acquisition expenses.

Second Quarter-over-Quarter Operating Highlights:

  • Same store new vehicle sales decreased 23.5 %
  • Same store used vehicle retail sales increased 0.5%
  • Same store F&I per unit increased 9.4% to $1,590
  • Same store total gross profit per unit increased 11.4% to $4,030
  • SG&A as a percentage of gross profit improved 540bps to 64.7%

"The strong sequential improvements throughout the quarter, coupled with our stores' responsiveness to the current environment, led us to the highest quarterly adjusted earnings per share in our company's history," said Bryan DeBoer, President and CEO. "This record performance illustrates the massive opportunity that exists within our $2 trillion industry that we are unlocking through continued growth and the activation of our ecommerce digital home solutions."

For the first six months of 2020 revenues decreased 8% to $5.6 billion, compared to $6.1 billion in 2019.

Net income for the first six months of 2020 was $5.32 per diluted share, compared to $5.08 per diluted share in 2019, an increase of 5%. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the first six months of 2020 increased 5% to $5.70 from $5.42 in the same period of 2019.

Corporate Development

In July, we announced the acquisitions of Smolich CJDR and Nissan in Bend, Oregon and Ladin Subaru in Thousand Oaks, California. These acquisitions are anticipated to generate $160 million in annualized steady state revenues. For the year, this brings our total anticipated annualized revenue from acquired locations to $320 million and expanded our density in both the Southwest and Northwest regions.

Balance Sheet Update

We ended the second quarter with over $750 million in cash and availability on our revolving lines of credit. Earlier this month, we closed on a $255 million syndicated real estate revolving line of credit, bringing our current total cash and available credit to over $1 billion. Our unfinanced real estate could provide additional liquidity of approximately $250 million.

"The acquisition market is robust and we are accelerating the build out of our coast-to-coast network enabling us to serve customers wherever, whenever, and however they desire," said DeBoer. "Our balance sheet is in the strongest position in our company's history and we are well positioned to accelerate our plan to reach 5% national market share."

Dividend Payment

Our Board of Directors approved increasing our dividend to $0.31 per share. We expect to pay the dividend on August 28, 2020 to shareholders of record on August 14, 2020.

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 car sales levels;
  • Anticipated impacts on consumer demand or governmental restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise;
  • Expected level of business interruption due to shelter in place policies or lifting of those restrictions, and when volumes and consumer demand will return;
  • Continuation of our sales and services, including in-store appointments and home deliveries;
  • Expected growth from our ecommerce home solutions and digital strategies;
  • 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 financial condition and liquidity, including from our cash, availability on our credit facility and unfinanced real estate;
  • Anticipated use of proceeds from our financings;
  • Anticipated allocations, uses and levels of capital expenditures in the future;
  • Expectations regarding compliance with financial and restrictive covenants in our credit facility and other debt agreements; 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), including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;
  • 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 and legislation, and other risks 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, Item 8.01 in our Form 8-K filed on April 13, 2020, 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. Except as required by law, 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 revenue and gross profit, adjusted pre-tax margin and net profit 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.
