BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Feb. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: PAG), a diversified international transportation services company, today announced record full year and fourth quarter 2018 adjusted results. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, total revenue increased 6.5% to $22.8 billion, including a 3.4% increase in same-store retail automotive revenue and a 28.8% increase in same-store retail commercial truck revenue. Income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders was $470.5 million and related earnings per share was $5.52. As shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation table, adjusted income from continuing operations increased 22.9% to $454.9 million and adjusted earnings per share increased 23.9% to $5.34. Excluding foreign exchange, total revenue increased 4.9% and same-store retail automotive revenue increased 1.6%. Foreign exchange rates positively impacted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders by $0.07.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the company reported income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $97.8 million, or $1.15 per share, compared to $330 million, or $3.85 per share in the prior year. As shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation table, adjusted income from continuing operations increased 10% to $94.9 million and related earnings per share increased 10% to $1.11 per share. Fourth quarter 2018 results include a net benefit totaling $2.9 million after tax, or $0.04 per share, consisting of an $8.2 million net gain related to dealership sales, partially offset by valuation adjustments on certain dealerships totaling $5.3 million. Fourth quarter 2017 results included a $243 million benefit related to the enactment of the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Total revenue increased 0.8% to $5.4 billion, while same-store retail automotive revenue decreased 1.1%. Product availability shortages and Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Testing ("WLTP") certification delays in our Western European businesses are estimated to have impacted our operations by approximately $5 million, or $0.06 per share. Excluding foreign exchange, total revenue increased 2.2%, while same-store retail revenue increased 0.2%. Foreign exchange rates had no impact on earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

 "2018 was the best year in the history of Penske Automotive Group, including record results for units retailed, revenue and earnings before taxes," said Chairman Roger S. Penske. "I am particularly pleased with the 10.2% growth in earnings before taxes and the $190.1 million our company returned to shareholders in dividends and share repurchases representing over 40% of our net income." Penske continued, "For the fourth quarter, our business was driven by continued growth in used vehicles, service and parts, the commercial truck operation and our equity investment in Penske Truck Leasing. However, product availability in Western Europe of certain brands, WLTP and the ongoing diesel challenges impacted our performance during the quarter."

The company has reconciled these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the release. The company believes that these widely accepted measures of operating profitability improve the transparency of the company's disclosures and provide a meaningful presentation of the company's results from its core business operations excluding the impact of items not related to the company's ongoing core business operations, and improve the period-to-period comparability of the company's results from its core business operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for GAAP financial results, and should only be considered in conjunction with the company's financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP.

Caution Concerning Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this press release may involve forward-looking statements, including forward-looking statements regarding Penske Automotive Group, Inc.'s future sales and earnings potential. Actual results may vary materially because of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: economic conditions generally, conditions in the credit markets and changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, changes in tariff rates, adverse impacts related to the outcome of the United Kingdom's scheduled departure from the European Union on March 29, 2019, adverse conditions affecting a particular manufacturer, including the adverse impact to the vehicle and parts supply chain due to limited vehicle availability due to WLTP, natural disasters such as the recent hurricanes, recall or other disruptions that interrupt the supply of vehicles or parts to us, changes in consumer credit availability, the outcome of legal and administrative matters, and other factors over which management has limited control. These forward-looking statements should be evaluated together with additional information about Penske Automotive Group's business, markets, conditions and other uncertainties, which could affect Penske Automotive Group's future performance.
