Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)

Note 1Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

Defined Terms

        Unless otherwise indicated, the following terms used herein shall have the following meanings:

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year as a whole. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary, generally consisting of normal recurring accruals, for a fair statement of our financial results for the periods

KAR Auction Services, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

        These consolidated financial statements and condensed notes to consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The 2011 year-end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q was derived from the audited financial statements referenced above, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Reclassifications and Revisions

        Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified or revised to conform to the current year presentation. As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, in the past, certain AFC fees collected from customers were netted against cost of services as well as certain selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, AFC's revenue, cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses have been revised, resulting in an increase in revenue as well as the related expenses.

Business and Nature of Operations

        As of March 31, 2012, we have a network of online whole car auctions, 68 ADESA whole car auction sites and 160 IAA salvage vehicle auction sites. Our auctions facilitate the sale of used and salvage vehicles through physical, online or hybrid auctions, and which permit internet buyers to participate in physical auctions. ADESA Auctions and IAA are leading, national providers of wholesale and salvage vehicle auctions and related vehicle remarketing services for the automotive industry in North America. Our online service offerings include OPENLANE, a leader in internet-based remarketing solutions, and allow us to offer vehicles for sale from any location. Remarketing services include a variety of activities designed to transfer used and salvage vehicles between sellers and buyers throughout the vehicle life cycle. ADESA Auctions and IAA facilitate the exchange of these vehicles through an auction marketplace, which aligns sellers and buyers. As an agent for customers, the Company generally does not take title to or ownership to vehicles sold at the auctions. Generally fees are earned from the seller and buyer on each successful auction transaction in addition to fees earned for ancillary services.

        ADESA has the second largest used vehicle auction network in North America, based upon the number of used vehicles sold through auctions annually, and also provides services such as inbound and outbound transportation logistics, reconditioning, vehicle inspection and certification, titling, administrative and salvage recovery services. ADESA is able to serve the diverse and multi-faceted needs of its customers through the wide range of services offered.

        IAA is one of the two largest providers of salvage vehicle auctions and related services in North America. The salvage auctions facilitate the remarketing of damaged vehicles that are designated as

Note 1Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations (Continued)

total losses by insurance companies, recovered stolen vehicles for which an insurance settlement with the vehicle owner has already been made and older model vehicles donated to charity or sold by dealers in salvage auctions. The salvage auction business specializes in providing services such as inbound and outbound transportation logistics, inspections, evaluations, salvage recovery services, titling and settlement administrative services.

        AFC is a leading provider of floorplan financing to independent used vehicle dealers and this financing was provided through 103 locations throughout North America at March 31, 2012. Floorplan financing supports independent used vehicle dealers in North America who purchase vehicles at ADESA, IAA, independent auctions and auctions affiliated with other auction networks.

Note 2—New Accounting Standards

        In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The new guidance requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income, either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05, to defer the effective date of the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. All other provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for the first annual reporting period, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-12 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—Acquisitions

        Some of our acquisitions from prior years include contingent payments related to revenues or unit volumes of certain vehicles sold subsequent to the purchase dates. In the first quarter of 2012, we recorded contingent consideration of approximately $0.9 million related to certain prior year acquisitions based on revised forecasts which indicated the unit volumes required during the measurement period in order for the contingent consideration to become payable would be met. The contingent consideration adjustment was recorded to "Other (income) expense, net" in the consolidated statement of income.

Note 4—Stock-Based Compensation Plans

        We adopted the KAR Auction Services, Inc. 2009 Omnibus and Stock Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan") in December 2009. The Omnibus Plan is intended to provide equity or cash based awards to our employees. On February 29, 2012, we granted approximately 0.5 million service options with an exercise price of $16.07 per share under the Omnibus Plan. The service options have a ten year life and vest in four equal annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of

11



KAR Auction Services, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)

Note 4—Stock-Based Compensation Plans (Continued)

the service options granted on February 29, 2012 was $4.91. The fair value was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with a risk free interest rate of 0.65%, an expected life of 4 years and expected volatility of 38%.

        Our stock-based compensation expense includes expense associated with KAR Auction Services, Inc. service and exit option awards, KAR LLC profit interests and Axle LLC profit interests. We have classified the KAR LLC and Axle LLC profit interests as liability awards. We have classified the KAR Auction Services, Inc. service and exit options as equity awards. The main difference between a liability-classified award and an equity-classified award is that liability-classified awards are remeasured each reporting period at fair value. The following table summarizes our stock-based compensation expense by type of award (in millions):

Total

        There is no income tax benefit associated with the KAR LLC and Axle LLC profit interests. The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statement of income for options was approximately $1.1 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Note 5—Net Income Per Share (Continued)

        Basic net income per share was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares for the period. Diluted net income per share was calculated consistent with basic net income per share including the effect of dilutive unissued common shares related to our stock-based employee compensation program. The effect of stock options on net income per share-diluted is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase our common stock at the average market price during the period. Stock options that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share are excluded from the calculations. Approximately 1.4 million and 0.6 million options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Total options outstanding at March 31, 2012 and 2011 were 10.0 million and 9.2 million, respectively.

Note 6—Finance Receivables and Obligations Collateralized by Finance Receivables

        AFC sells the majority of its U.S. dollar denominated finance receivables on a revolving basis and without recourse to a wholly owned, bankruptcy remote, consolidated, special purpose subsidiary ("AFC Funding Corporation"), established for the purpose of purchasing AFC's finance receivables. A securitization agreement allows for the revolving sale by AFC Funding Corporation to a bank conduit facility of undivided interests in certain eligible finance receivables subject to committed liquidity. The agreement expires on June 30, 2014. AFC Funding Corporation had committed liquidity of $650 million for U.S. finance receivables at March 31, 2012.

        We also have an agreement for the securitization of Automotive Finance Canada, Inc.'s ("AFCI") receivables. This securitization facility expires on June 30, 2014. AFCI's committed liquidity is provided through a third party conduit (separate from the U.S. conduit) and was C$100 million at March 31, 2012. The receivables sold pursuant to both the U.S. and Canadian securitization agreements are accounted for as secured borrowings.

        The following tables present quantitative information about delinquencies, credit losses less recoveries ("net credit losses") and components of securitized financial assets and other related assets managed. For purposes of this illustration, delinquent receivables are defined as receivables 31 days or more past due.

Note 6—Finance Receivables and Obligations Collateralized by Finance Receivables (Continued)

        As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $860.5 million and $877.6 million, respectively, of finance receivables and a cash reserve of 1 percent of the obligations collateralized by finance receivables served as security for the $586.0 million and $610.3 million of obligations collateralized by finance receivables at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The amount of the cash reserve depends on circumstances which are set forth in the securitization agreements.

        Proceeds from the revolving sale of receivables to the bank conduit facility are used to fund new loans to customers. AFC, AFC Funding Corporation and AFCI must maintain certain financial covenants including, among others, limits on the amount of debt AFC and AFCI can incur, minimum levels of tangible net worth, and other covenants tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio. The securitization agreements also incorporate the financial covenants of our Credit Facility. At March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with the covenants in the securitization agreements.

Credit Facilities

        On May 19, 2011, we established a $1.7 billion, six-year senior secured term loan facility (Term Loan B in the table above) and a $250 million, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility ($250 million revolving credit facility in the table above), the terms of which are set forth in the Credit Agreement dated as of May 19, 2011. The Credit Facility is available for letters of credit, working capital and general corporate purposes (including refinancing certain Existing Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement)). The Company pays a commitment fee of 50 basis points, payable quarterly, on the average daily unused amount of the Credit Facility. The interest rate on Term Loan B was 5.0% at March 31, 2012.

        There were no borrowings on the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2012, and at December 31, 2011 $68.9 million was drawn. In addition, we had related outstanding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $24.8 million and $28.5 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which reduce the amount available for borrowings under the credit facility.

Note 7—Long-Term Debt (Continued)

        The obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including but not limited to: (a) pledges of and perfected first-priority security interests in 100% of the equity interests of certain of the Company's and the Subsidiary Guarantors' domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the equity interests of certain of the Company's and the Subsidiary Guarantors' first-tier foreign subsidiaries and (b) perfected first-priority security interests in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are usual and customary for a senior secured credit agreement. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on capital expenditures, asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, dividends, investments and transactions with our affiliates. The Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, provided there are revolving loans outstanding. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2012.

Fair Value of Debt

        As of March 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt amounted to $1,802.0 million. The estimates of fair value are based on the market prices for our publicly-traded debt as of March 31, 2012. The estimates presented on long-term financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.

Note 8—Derivatives

        We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable rate borrowings. Accordingly, interest rate fluctuations affect the amount of interest expense we are obligated to pay. In August 2011, we purchased three interest rate caps for an aggregate amount of approximately $1.1 million with an aggregate notional amount of $925 million to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our variable rate Term Loan B credit facility when one-month LIBOR exceeds 1.25%. The interest rate cap agreements each had an effective date of August 16, 2011 and each mature on August 16, 2013. The unamortized portion of the $1.1 million investment is recorded in "Other assets" on the consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized over the remaining life of the interest rate caps to interest expense. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties; however, non-performance is not anticipated.

        ASC 815 requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. In accordance with ASC 815, we designated our interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges. The fair values of the interest rate derivatives are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments from a commercial bank. The following table presents the fair value of our

        The earnings impact of the interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recorded upon the recognition of the interest related to the hedged debt. Any ineffectiveness in the hedging relationships is recognized in current earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness in the first three months of 2012 or 2011. Unrealized gains or losses on the interest rate derivatives are included as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income." At March 31, 2012, there was a net unrealized loss totaling $0.3 million, net of tax benefits of $0.2 million. At December 31, 2011, there was a net unrealized gain totaling $0.1 million, net of tax benefits of less than $0.1 million.

Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies

        We are involved in litigation and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, such as actions related to injuries; property damage; handling, storage or disposal of vehicles; environmental laws and regulations; and other litigation incidental to the business such as employment matters and dealer disputes. Management considers the likelihood of loss or the incurrence of a liability, as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, in determining loss contingencies. We accrue an estimated loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss (or range of possible losses) can be reasonably estimated. Management regularly evaluates current information available to determine whether accrual amounts should be adjusted. Accruals for contingencies including litigation and environmental matters are included in "Other accrued expenses" at undiscounted amounts and exclude claims for recoveries from insurance or other third parties. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. If the amount of an actual loss is greater than the amount accrued, this could have an adverse impact on our operating results in that period. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. There has been no significant change in the legal and regulatory proceedings which were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Note 11—Fair Value Measurements

        We apply ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to our financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels:

        Interest Rate Caps—Under the three interest rate cap agreements purchased in August 2011, we receive interest on a notional amount when one-month LIBOR exceeds 1.25%. These agreements effectively hedge a portion of the Term Loan B credit facility. The fair value of the interest rate caps is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments from commercial banks.

Note 12—Segment Information

        ASC 280, Segment Reporting, requires reporting of segment information that is consistent with the manner in which the chief operating decision maker operates and views the Company. Our operations are grouped into three operating segments: ADESA Auctions, IAA and AFC, which also serve as our reportable business segments. None of our operating segments have been aggregated in our segment reporting. These reportable business segments offer different services and have fundamental differences in their operations.

        The holding company is maintained separately from the three reportable segments and includes expenses associated with the corporate office, such as salaries, benefits, and travel costs for the corporate management team, certain human resources, information technology and accounting costs, and certain insurance, treasury, legal and risk management costs. Holding company interest expense includes the interest expense incurred on the corporate debt structure. Intercompany charges relate primarily to interest on intercompany debt or receivables and certain information technology costs allocated by the holding company.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

        This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and which are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties. In particular, statements made in this report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts (including, but not limited to, expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections regarding the industry, business, future operating results, potential acquisitions and anticipated cash requirements) may be forward-looking statements. Words such as "should," "may," "will," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements, including statements regarding our future growth; anticipated cost savings, revenue increases and capital expenditures; strategic initiatives, greenfields and acquisitions; our competitive position; and our continued investment in information technology are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results projected, expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed on February 28, 2012. Some of these factors include:

31


        Many of these risk factors are outside of our control, and as such, they involve risks which are not currently known that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed or implied herein. The forward-looking statements in this document are made as of the date on which they are made and we do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements.

        Our future growth depends on a variety of factors, including our ability to increase vehicle sold volumes and loan transaction volumes, expand our product and service offerings including information systems development, acquire and integrate additional business entities, manage expansion, control costs in our operations, introduce fee increases, and retain our executive officers and key employees. Certain initiatives that management considers important to our long-term success include projects involving substantial capital investment in e-business, information technology, facility relocations and expansions, as well as operating initiatives designed to enhance overall efficiencies, all of which have significant risks associated with their execution, and could take several years to yield any direct monetary benefits. Accordingly, we cannot predict whether our growth strategy will be successful. In addition, we cannot predict what portion of overall sales will be conducted through online auctions or other remarketing methods in the future and what impact this may have on our auction business.

Overview

        We provide whole car and salvage auction services in North America. Our business is divided into three reportable business segments, each of which is an integral part of the vehicle remarketing industry: ADESA Auctions, IAA and AFC.

32


        The holding company is maintained separately from the three reportable segments and includes expenses associated with the corporate office, such as salaries, benefits, and travel costs for our management team, certain human resources, information technology and accounting costs, and certain insurance, treasury, legal and risk management costs. Holding company interest expense includes the interest expense incurred on the corporate debt structure. Intercompany charges relate primarily to interest on intercompany debt or receivables and certain information technology costs allocated by the holding company.

Industry Trends

Whole Car

        In 2010 and 2011, the North American whole car auction industry experienced supply shortages as a result of the impacts felt by the automotive industry over the last three years, including volatility in new vehicle sales, lease originations and repossessions. The supply shortages resulted in a decline in whole car auction volume compared to prior years. Used vehicles sold in North America through whole car auctions were 9.1 million, 8.4 million and 7.7 million (excluding approximately 0.3 million used vehicles sold by OPENLANE in 2011) in 2009, 2010, and 2011, respectively. The supply shortages and resulting decline in industry auction volumes reflect a reduction in units sold by institutional consignors. This reduction has been partially offset by an increase in dealer consignment units sold in 2010 and 2011.

        Other reasons for the decline in industry volumes, which may also impact future volumes include:

33


        Based on the factors discussed above, we estimate that used vehicle auction volumes in North America, including units sold by OPENLANE, will be approximately 8 million units in 2012, approach 8.4 million units in 2013 and are expected to reach nearly 9 million units by 2015.

Salvage

        Vehicles deemed a total loss by automobile insurance companies represent the largest category of vehicles sold in the salvage vehicle auction industry. The percentage of claims resulting in total losses is estimated at 13.9% for 2011, down slightly from 2010. There is no central reporting system that tracks the number of total loss vehicles in any given year which makes estimating industry volumes very difficult.

Automotive Finance

        In 2008 and 2009, the overall economy and in particular the automotive finance industries faced pressures, which negatively affected the used vehicle dealer base. Used vehicle dealers experienced a significant decline in sales which resulted in a decrease in consumer auto loan originations and an increased number of dealers defaulting on their loans, which increased credit losses. In addition, the value of recovered collateral on defaulted loans was impacted to some degree by the volatility in the vehicle pricing market. To the extent these negative trends recur, they could have a material adverse impact on AFC's results of operations.

        Despite the negative factors and trends that impacted the automotive finance industry in 2008 and 2009, AFC's financial results have steadily improved since that time. AFC implemented a number of strategic initiatives in 2008 and early 2009 designed to tighten credit standards and reduce risk and exposure in its portfolio of finance receivables. These initiatives have resulted in a substantial ongoing improvement in the aging of the managed portfolio, which was over 99 percent current at March 31, 2012. In addition, AFC's managed portfolio of finance receivables grew approximately 16 percent from $746.8 million at March 31, 2011 to $867.6 million at March 31, 2012.

Seasonality

        The volume of vehicles sold at our auctions generally fluctuates from quarter to quarter. This seasonality is caused by several factors including weather, the timing of used vehicles available for sale from selling customers, the availability and quality of salvage vehicles, holidays, and the seasonality of the retail market for used vehicles, which affects the demand side of the auction industry. Used vehicle auction volumes tend to decline during prolonged periods of winter weather conditions. In addition, mild weather conditions and decreases in traffic volume can each lead to a decline in the available supply of salvage vehicles because fewer traffic accidents occur, resulting in fewer damaged vehicles overall. As a result, revenues and operating expenses related to volume will fluctuate accordingly on a quarterly basis. The fourth calendar quarter typically experiences lower used vehicle auction volume as well as additional costs associated with the holidays and winter weather.

Sources of Revenues and Expenses

        Our revenue is derived from auction fees and related services at our whole car and salvage auctions, and from dealer financing fees and interest income at AFC. Although auction revenues primarily include the auction services and related fees, our related receivables and payables include the gross value of the vehicles sold.

        Our operating expenses consist of cost of services, selling, general and administrative and depreciation and amortization. Cost of services is composed of payroll and related costs, subcontract services, supplies, insurance, property taxes, utilities, maintenance and lease expense related to the auction sites and loan offices. Cost of services excludes depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses are composed of payroll and related costs, sales and marketing, information technology services and professional fees.

Exclusive of depreciation and amortization

        For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had revenue of $506.9 million, compared with revenue of $484.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of 5%. For a further discussion of revenues, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses, see the segment results discussions below.

Depreciation and Amortization

        Depreciation and amortization increased $4.5 million, or 10%, to $48.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $44.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Approximately $3.9 million of the increase was representative of OPENLANE's depreciation and amortization in the first quarter of 2012. The remaining increase was representative of increased amortization resulting from certain assets placed in service during 2011 and 2012.

Interest Expense

        Interest expense decreased $2.9 million, or 9%, to $30.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with interest expense of $33.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of the second quarter 2011 prepayment of our $450.0 million principal amount 83/4% senior notes and the remaining $131.1 million principal balance of our 10% senior subordinated notes, partially offset by Term Loan B debt which had an interest rate of 5% at March 31, 2012, compared with Old Term Loan B debt which had an interest rate of approximately 3% at March 31, 2011. The decrease in interest expense was also partially offset by an increase in interest expense at AFC, which resulted from an increase in the average U.S.

portfolio sold in 2012 as compared with 2011, as well as an increase in the cost of funds, which began in the second quarter of 2011.

        We had other expenses of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with other income of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The change in other (income) expense was primarily representative of $0.9 million of contingent consideration that was recorded in the first quarter of 2012. The contingent consideration related to certain prior year acquisitions and the adjustment was based on revised forecasts which indicated the unit volumes required during the measurement period in order for the contingent consideration to become payable would be met.

Income Taxes

        We had an effective tax rate of 41.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with 2.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, our effective tax rate of 2.5% benefited from the reversal of $14.4 million in reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of certain statute of limitations. Excluding the effect of the discrete items in the first quarter of 2011, our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 would have been 37.9%. Income before income taxes includes the impact of $5.2 million in profit interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Revenue

        Revenue from ADESA increased $2.3 million, or 1%, to $270.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $268.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in revenue was primarily a result of a 9% increase in the number of vehicles sold, partially offset by a 7% decrease in revenue per vehicle sold to approximately $540 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to over $580 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

        The 7% decrease in revenue per vehicle sold was attributable to decreases in ancillary and related services, which resulted in decreased ADESA revenue of approximately $9.3 million, as well as fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate, which resulted in decreased ADESA revenue of approximately $0.8 million. Partially offsetting the decreases in revenue was incremental fee income

36


related to selective fee increases, which resulted in increased ADESA revenue of approximately $5.7 million.

        The total number of used vehicles sold at ADESA increased 9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2011, and resulted in an increase in ADESA revenue of approximately $6.7 million. Excluding OPENLANE, the total number of used vehicles sold at ADESA decreased 6% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in same store volume sold was attributable to a decline in supplier inventory levels, partially offset by a 14% (excluding OPENLANE) increase in dealer consignment units sold in the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011. We expect that the total number of used vehicles sold industry-wide and at ADESA will be softer in the second quarter of 2012 as compared with the first quarter of 2012. Online sales volume for ADESA in the first quarter of 2012 represented approximately 32% of the total vehicles sold by ADESA, which, in part, reflects the OPENLANE acquisition, compared with approximately 24% in the first quarter of 2011.

        The used vehicle conversion percentage, calculated as the number of vehicles sold as a percentage of the number of vehicles entered for sale at our ADESA auctions, decreased to 62.6% (excluding OPENLANE) for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with 66.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in conversion rate is representative of a change in the mix of vehicles sold toward more dealer consignment vehicles, which convert at a lower rate, as dealers have the option of returning vehicles to their stores for retail sale or utilizing alternative wholesale channels. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, dealer consignment vehicles represented approximately 41% of used vehicles sold at ADESA, an increase from approximately 38% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Gross Profit

        For the three months ended March 31, 2012, gross profit for ADESA increased $9.3 million, or 8%, to $122.6 million, compared with $113.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Gross profit for ADESA was 45.3% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with 42.2% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily the result of the 9% increase in the number of vehicles sold and a 5% decrease in cost of services. The decrease in cost of services was attributable to decreases in ancillary and related services as well as favorable weather.

Selling, General and Administrative

        Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ADESA segment increased $11.6 million, or 21%, to $66.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $55.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to the acquisition and integration of OPENLANE, which accounted for approximately $11.7 million of the increase, as well as an increase in incentive compensation, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate.

Revenue

        Revenue from IAA increased $13.5 million, or 8%, to $189.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $175.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in revenue was a result of an increase in overall vehicles sold of approximately 6% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Included in the growth of units sold is an increase in the sales of purchased vehicles, in which the entire selling price of the vehicle is recorded as revenue. Purchased vehicles represented approximately 5% of total salvage vehicles sold for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. We expect that the total number of salvage vehicles sold industry-wide and at IAA will be softer in the second quarter of 2012 as compared with the first quarter of 2012. Online sales volumes for IAA for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 represented approximately half of the total vehicles sold by IAA.

Gross Profit

        For the three months ended March 31, 2012, gross profit at IAA increased to $78.0 million, or 41.2% of revenue, compared with $75.5 million, or 42.9% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The gross profit increase was primarily the result of the increase in revenue. The increase in cost of services was attributable to increases in yard and auction expenses specifically pertaining to reconditioning, processing and towing costs related to the increase in volume, as well as the impact of an increase in purchased vehicles sold, as the cost of the vehicles are included in the cost of services.

Selling, General and Administrative

        Selling, general and administrative expenses at IAA decreased $0.9 million, or 4%, to $19.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $20.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable to decreases in stock-based compensation expense and incentive-based compensation expense.

Revenue

        For the three months ended March 31, 2012, AFC revenue increased $6.4 million, or 16%, to $46.9 million, compared with $40.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in revenue was the result of a 17% increase in loan transactions to 318,859 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with the same period in 2011, partially offset by a 1% decrease in revenue per loan transaction for the three months ended March 31, 2012. In addition, managed receivables increased to $867.6 million at March 31, 2012 from $746.8 million at March 31, 2011.

        Revenue per loan transaction, which includes both loans paid off and loans curtailed, decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in average loan values and an increase in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by an increase in the average portfolio duration.

Gross Profit

        For the three months ended March 31, 2012, gross profit for the AFC segment increased $5.5 million, or 18%, to $36.9 million, compared with $31.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily as a result of a 16% increase in revenue, partially offset by a 10% increase in cost of services. The increase in cost of services was primarily the result of an increase in compensation expense associated with an increase in the number of employees.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses at AFC increased $0.2 million, or 4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily the result of increases in compensation expense and travel costs, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        We believe that the significant indicators of liquidity for our business are cash on hand, cash flow from operations, working capital and amounts available under our credit facility. Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash generated by operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

There were related outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $24.8 million, $28.5 million and $29.6 million at March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively, which reduced the amount available for borrowings under the credit facility.

Working Capital

        A substantial amount of our working capital is generated from the payments received for services provided. The majority of our working capital needs are short-term in nature, usually less than a week in duration. Due to the decentralized nature of the business, payments for most vehicles purchased are received at each auction and branch. Most of the financial institutions place a temporary hold on the availability of the funds deposited that generally can range up to two business days, resulting in cash in our accounts and on our balance sheet that is unavailable for use until it is made available by the various financial institutions. There are outstanding checks (book overdrafts) to sellers and vendors included in current liabilities. Because a portion of these outstanding checks for operations in the U.S. are drawn upon bank accounts at financial institutions other than the financial institutions that hold the cash, we cannot offset all the cash and the outstanding checks on our balance sheet.

        Our available cash, which excludes cash in transit, was $62.1 million at March 31, 2012. Of this amount, approximately $15.0 million was held by foreign subsidiaries and considered to be permanently reinvested in our non-U.S. businesses. If the funds held by our foreign subsidiaries were to be repatriated, tax expense would need to be accrued at the U.S. statutory rate, net of any applicable foreign tax credits. Such foreign tax credits would substantially offset any U.S. taxes that would be due in the event cash held by our foreign subsidiaries was repatriated.

        AFC offers short-term inventory-secured financing, also known as floorplan financing, to used vehicle dealers. Financing is primarily provided for terms of 30 to 60 days. AFC principally generates its funding through the sale of its receivables. The receivables sold pursuant to the securitization agreements are accounted for as secured borrowings. For further discussion of AFC's securitization arrangements, see "Securitization Facilities."

Credit Facilities

        On May 19, 2011, we established a $1.7 billion, six-year senior secured term loan facility ("Term Loan B") and a $250 million, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility, the terms of which are set forth in the Credit Agreement dated as of May 19, 2011 (the "Credit Agreement"). The credit facility is available for letters of credit, working capital and general corporate purposes (including refinancing certain Existing Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement)). The Company pays a commitment fee of 50 basis points, payable quarterly, on the average daily unused amount of the credit facility. The interest rate on Term Loan B was 5.0% at March 31, 2012.

        On March 31, 2012, $1,687.2 million was outstanding on Term Loan B and there were no borrowings on the revolving credit facility. In addition, there were related outstanding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $24.8 million at March 31, 2012, which reduce the amount available for borrowings under the credit facility. Our Canadian operations also have a C$8 million line of credit which was undrawn as of March 31, 2012. However, there were related letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately C$2.2 million at March 31, 2012, which reduce credit available under the Canadian line of credit, but do not affect amounts available for borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

        The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive loan covenants, including, among others, a financial covenant requiring that a maximum consolidated senior secured leverage ratio be satisfied as of the last day of each fiscal quarter if revolving loans are outstanding, and covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make acquisitions, consummate change of control transactions, dispose of assets, pay dividends, make capital expenditures, make investments and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. The leverage ratio covenant is based on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA which is EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted to exclude among other things (a) gains and losses from asset sales; (b) unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses in respect of indebtedness; (c) certain non-recurring gains and losses; (d) stock option expense; (e) certain other noncash amounts included in the determination of net income; (f) management, monitoring, consulting and advisory fees paid to the equity sponsors; (g) charges and revenue reductions resulting from purchase accounting; (h) unrealized gains and losses on hedge agreements; (i) minority interest; (j) expenses associated with the consolidation of salvage operations; (k) consulting expenses incurred for cost reduction, operating restructuring and business improvement efforts; (l) expenses realized upon the termination of employees and the termination or cancellation of leases, software licenses or other contracts in connection with the operational restructuring and business improvement efforts; (m) expenses incurred in connection with permitted acquisitions; and (n) any impairment charges or write-offs of intangibles.

        Certain covenants contained within the Credit Agreement are critical to an investor's understanding of our financial liquidity, as the failure to maintain compliance with these covenants could result in a default and allow our lenders to declare all amounts borrowed immediately due and payable. The maximum consolidated senior secured leverage ratio is required to be met when there are revolving loans outstanding under our Credit Agreement. The maximum consolidated senior secured leverage ratio cannot exceed 4.25 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter through September 30, 2012. Beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2012, the ratio cannot exceed 4.0 to 1.0 and continues to decline throughout the remaining life of the credit facility until it reaches 2.5 to 1.0 at

41


December 31, 2015. Our actual consolidated senior secured leverage ratio was 3.3 to 1.0 at March 31, 2012.

        In addition, the indenture governing our floating rate senior notes contains certain financial and operational restrictions that, similar to the Credit Agreement, limit our ability to pay dividends and other distributions, make certain acquisitions or investments, incur indebtedness, grant liens and sell assets. The covenants in the Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our floating rate senior notes affect our operating flexibility by, among other things, restricting our ability to incur expenses and indebtedness that could be used to grow the business, as well as to fund general corporate purposes. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our floating rate senior notes at March 31, 2012.

        We believe our sources of liquidity from our cash and cash equivalents on hand, working capital, cash provided by operating activities, and availability under our credit facility are sufficient to meet our short and long-term operating needs for the foreseeable future. In addition, we believe the previously mentioned sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our capital requirements and debt service payments for the next twelve months.

Securitization Facilities

        AFC sells the majority of its U.S. dollar denominated finance receivables on a revolving basis and without recourse to a wholly owned, bankruptcy remote, consolidated, special purpose subsidiary ("AFC Funding Corporation"), established for the purpose of purchasing AFC's finance receivables. A securitization agreement allows for the revolving sale by AFC Funding Corporation to a bank conduit facility of undivided interests in certain eligible finance receivables subject to committed liquidity. The agreement expires on June 30, 2014. AFC Funding Corporation had committed liquidity of $650 million for U.S. finance receivables at March 31, 2012.

        We also have an agreement for the securitization of Automotive Finance Canada, Inc.'s ("AFCI") receivables. This securitization facility expires on June 30, 2014. AFCI's committed liquidity is provided through a third party conduit (separate from the U.S. conduit) and was C$100 million at March 31, 2012. The receivables sold pursuant to both the U.S. and Canadian securitization agreements are accounted for as secured borrowings.

        AFC managed total finance receivables of $867.6 million and $883.2 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. AFC's allowance for losses was $9.1 million and $9.0 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

        As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $860.5 million and $877.6 million, respectively, of finance receivables and a cash reserve of 1 percent of the obligations collateralized by finance receivables served as security for the $586.0 million and $610.3 million of obligations collateralized by finance receivables at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The amount of the cash reserve depends on circumstances which are set forth in the securitization agreements. After the occurrence of a termination event, as defined in the U.S. securitization agreement, the bank conduit facility may, and could, cause the stock of AFC Funding Corporation to be transferred to the bank conduit facility, though as a practical matter the bank conduit facility would look to the liquidation of the receivables under the transaction documents as their primary remedy.

        Proceeds from the revolving sale of receivables to the bank conduit facility are used to fund new loans to customers. AFC, AFC Funding Corporation and AFCI must maintain certain financial covenants including, among others, limits on the amount of debt AFC and AFCI can incur, minimum levels of tangible net worth, and other covenants tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio. The securitization agreements also incorporate the financial covenants of our credit facility. At March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with the covenants in the securitization agreements.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

        EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

        EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items of income and expense and expected incremental revenue and cost savings, as described above in the discussion of certain restrictive loan covenants under "Credit Facilities."

        Management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about one of the principal measures of performance used by our creditors. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

  $ 27.8   $ 123.2  
           

        Cash flow from operating activities was $74.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $81.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily impacted by the decrease in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2011.

        Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities was primarily the result of the changes in finance receivables held for investment and changes in restricted cash balances. Partially offsetting the aforementioned activities were lower levels of spending on acquisitions and capital items, as we spent $4.3 million less on acquisitions and $2.8 million less on capital items in the first three months of 2012 compared with the same period in 2011. For a discussion of the Company's capital expenditures, see "Capital Expenditures" below.

        Net cash used by financing activities was $49.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $34.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The change in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to the repayment of $68.9 million that was outstanding on our revolving credit facility, our quarterly principal payment on Term Loan B, as well as a smaller increase in book overdrafts for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Capital Expenditures

        Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 approximated $13.3 million and $16.1 million, respectively. Capital expenditures were funded primarily from internally generated funds. We continue to invest in our core information technology capabilities and capacity expansion. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $90 million for fiscal year 2012, compared with $85.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Anticipated expenditures are primarily attributable to ongoing information system projects, integration of OPENLANE and ADESA information systems, upkeep and improvements at existing vehicle auction facilities, improvements in information technology systems and infrastructure and expansion and relocation of existing auction sites that are at capacity. Future capital expenditures could vary substantially based on capital project timing and the initiation of new information systems projects to support our business strategies.

Contractual Obligations

        The Company's contractual cash obligations for long-term debt, interest payments related to long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating leases and postretirement benefit payments were summarized in the table of contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Since December 31, 2011, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations of the Company, other than in the first quarter of 2012 we repaid the $68.9 million that was outstanding on our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2011.

        See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Interim Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information about the item described above. For additional information regarding our contractual cash obligations as of December 31, 2011, see Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed on February 28, 2012.

Critical Accounting Estimates

        Our critical accounting estimates are discussed in the "Critical Accounting Estimates" section of "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, our most significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 and elsewhere in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which includes audited financial statements.

New Accounting Standards

        In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The new guidance requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income, either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05, to defer the effective date of the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. All other provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for the first annual reporting period, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and

45


we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-12 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency

        Our foreign currency exposure is limited and arises from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, particularly intercompany loans, as well as from translation of the results of operations from our Canadian and, to a much lesser extent, Mexican subsidiaries. However, fluctuations between U.S. and non-U.S. currency values may adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. We have not entered into any foreign exchange contracts to hedge changes in the Canadian or Mexican exchange rates. Canadian currency translation negatively affected net income by approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Currency exposure of our Mexican operations is not material to the results of operations.

Interest Rates

        We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable rate borrowings. Accordingly, interest rate fluctuations affect the amount of interest expense we are obligated to pay. We use interest rate derivative agreements to manage the variability of cash flows to be paid due to interest rate movements on our variable rate debt. We have designated our interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges. The earnings impact of the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded upon the recognition of the interest related to the hedged debt. Any ineffectiveness in the hedging relationships is recognized in current earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness in the three months ended March 31, 2012 or 2011.

        In August 2011, we purchased three interest rate caps for an aggregate amount of approximately $1.1 million with an aggregate notional amount of $925 million to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our variable rate Term Loan B credit facility when one-month LIBOR exceeds 1.25%. The interest rate cap agreements each had an effective date of August 16, 2011 and each mature on August 16, 2013.

        A sensitivity analysis of the impact on our variable rate debt instruments to a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term rates for the three months ended March 31, 2012 would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.6 million.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

        We are involved in litigation and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, such as actions related to injuries; property damage; handling, storage or disposal of vehicles; environmental laws and regulations; and other litigation incidental to the business such as employment matters and dealer disputes. Such litigation is generally not, in the opinion of management, likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal and regulatory proceedings which could be material are discussed below.

        Certain legal proceedings in which the Company is involved are discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and Part I, Item 3 of the same Annual Report. The following discussion is limited to certain recent developments concerning our legal and regulatory proceedings and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report. Unless otherwise indicated, all proceedings discussed in the Annual Report remain outstanding.

IAA—Lower Duwamish Waterway

        On March 25, 2008, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, issued a General Notice of Potential Liability (the "General Notice") pursuant to Section 107(a), and a Request for Information pursuant to Section 104(e) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, or "CERCLA" to IAA for a Superfund site known as the Lower Duwamish Waterway ("LDW") Superfund Site in Seattle, Washington. IAA operates a branch on property it leases in Tukwila, Washington, which is located adjacent to the LDW. At this time, the EPA has not demanded that IAA pay any funds or take any action apart from responding to the Section 104(e) Information Request. The EPA has advised IAA that, to date, it has sent out approximately 60 general notice letters to other parties, and has sent Section 104(e) Requests to more than 250 other parties. A remedial investigation has been conducted for this site by some of the potentially responsible parties, who have also commenced a feasibility study pursuant to CERCLA. IAA is aware that certain authorities plan to bring Natural Resource Damage claims against potentially responsible parties. In the General Notice, the EPA informed IAA that it may be a potentially responsible party based on presently available information. At this time, the Company does not have adequate information to determine IAA's responsibility for contamination at this site, if any, or to estimate IAA's loss as a result of this potential liability.

        In addition, the Washington State Department of Ecology is working with the EPA in relation to the LDW, primarily to investigate and address sources of potential contamination contributing to the LDW. IAA, the current Tukwila property owner and the former Tukwila property owner are currently in discussion with the Washington State Department of Ecology concerning possible source control obligations, including an investigation of the water and soils entering the stormwater system, an analysis of the source of any contamination identified within the system and possible repairs and upgrades to the stormwater capture and filtration system. In 2011, IAA submitted results of its stormwater system investigation to comply with the Washington State Department of Ecology source control requirements. Additional source control obligations, if any, are not expected to have a material impact on future recurring operating costs.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

        In addition to the other information set forth in this report, readers should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future

47


results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 4.    Mine Safety Disclosures
