Guidance for 2012 Annual Performance

DealerTrack's revenue and GAAP and non-GAAP earnings guidance for the full year 2012 is as follows:

Expected GAAP Results

  • Revenue for the year is expected to be between $365.0 million and $372.0 million, representing approximately 13% to 15% growth on a pro forma basis after adjusting 2011 revenue to reflect the dispositions of Chrome and ALG.
  • GAAP net income for the year is expected to be between $33.0 million and $36.0 million.
  • Diluted GAAP net income per share for the year is expected to be between $0.75 and $0.81.

Expected Non-GAAP Results

  • Including the add-back of stock-based compensation expense of approximately $13.0 million, adjusted EBITDA for the year is expected to be between $91.0 million and $95.0 million.
  • Adjusted net income for the year is expected to be between $44.0 million and $47.0 million.
  • Diluted adjusted net income per share for the year is expected to be between $0.99 and $1.06.

Diluted GAAP net income and adjusted net income per share guidance for the year is based on an estimated 44.3 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  The guidance assumes that new car sales by franchised dealers will be approximately 13.5 million units and used car sales by franchised dealers will be approximately 14.0 million units for 2012.  

Mark F. O'Neil, chairman and chief executive officer of DealerTrack, commented, "We are pleased with our strong continued year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter, capping what was an excellent year for DealerTrack. Over the course of 2011 we made significant progress in increasing the number of transactions processed by DealerTrack and average transaction revenue per car sold. This progress was further impacted by healthy auto credit and car sales trends throughout the year.  Our subscription business continues to grow, and we believe we have considerable opportunities to expand our average monthly subscription spend per dealer.  In our view, we are entering 2012 in a very strong position to continue to grow revenue at a multiple of auto industry growth, and to improve profitability margins while continuing to invest in long-term growth opportunities."  

Conference Call

DealerTrack will host a conference call to discuss its fourth quarter and full year 2011 results and other matters on February 21, 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 website until March 13, 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, contra-revenue and may exclude certain items such as: impairment charges, restructuring charges, impact of acquisition-related activity (including contingent consideration changes, compensation expense and professional service fees), realized gains or (losses) on securities, gains or losses on sales of subsidiaries,  and certain other non-recurring items. 

All stock-based compensation expense is now excluded from the calculation of the Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP measure. This reduces the comparability with prior periods. This non-cash expense was included in the previous presentation.

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, 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 and professional service fees), realized gains or (losses) on sales of securities, gains or losses on sales of subsidiaries, adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances and certain other non-recurring items.  These adjustments to net income, 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 Attachment 4 to this press release.
