PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Interim Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The following unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Penske
Automotive Group, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and
disclosures normally included in the Companys annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The information presented
as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments which the management of
the Company believes to be necessary for the fair presentation of results for the periods
presented. The Company evaluated subsequent events through July 31, 2009, the date the
consolidated condensed financial statements were filed with the SEC. The consolidated
condensed financial statements for prior periods have been revised for entities which
have been treated as discontinued operations through June 30, 2009 and the results for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Companys audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, which are
included as part of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 include a $10,429 pre-tax gain
relating to the repurchase of $68,740 aggregate principal amount of the Companys 3.5%
senior subordinated convertible notes.
In June 2008, the Company acquired a 9% limited partnership interest in Penske Truck
Leasing Co., L.P. (PTL), a leading global transportation services provider, from
subsidiaries of General Electric Capital Corporation (collectively, GE Capital) in
exchange for $219,000. PTL operates and maintains more than 200,000 vehicles and serves
customers in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Product lines include
full-service leasing, contract maintenance, commercial and consumer truck rental and
logistics services, including transportation and distribution center management and
supply chain management.
In June 2009, the Company announced that it entered into a non-binding memorandum of
understanding (MOU) with General Motors regarding the potential acquisition of certain
assets relating to the Saturn automotive brand. Pursuant to the MOU, the Company would
obtain the rights to the Saturn brand, acquire certain assets including Saturn parts
inventory, and have the right to distribute vehicles and parts through the Saturn
dealership network. The Company does not intend to enter the manufacturing business nor
does this transaction contemplate the Company purchasing any of the existing Saturn
retailer network. If consummated, the Company anticipates offering existing Saturn
retailers a new sales and service agreement. General Motors would continue to provide
Saturn Aura, Vue and Outlook vehicles, on a contract basis, for an interim period. Any
closing of the transaction is subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence,
regulatory and other approvals.
Discontinued Operations
The Company accounts for dispositions as discontinued operations when it is evident
that the operations and cash flows of the business being disposed of will be eliminated
from on-going operations and that the Company will not have any significant continuing
involvement in its operations.
In evaluating whether the cash flows of a dealership will be eliminated from ongoing
operations in its retail segment, the Company considers whether it is likely that
customers will migrate to similar franchises that it owns in the same geographic market.
The Companys consideration includes an evaluation of the brands sold at other
dealerships it operates in the market and their proximity to the disposed dealership.
When the Company disposes of franchises, it typically does not have continuing brand
representation in that market. If the franchise being disposed of is located in a complex
of Company owned dealerships, the Company does not treat the disposition as a
discontinued operation if the Company believes that the cash flows previously generated
by the disposed franchise will be replaced by expanded operations of the remaining
franchises. The net assets of dealerships accounted for as discontinued operations as of
June 30, 2009 were immaterial. Combined income statement information regarding
dealerships accounted for as discontinued operations follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, debt, floor plan notes payable, and interest rate swaps used to hedge
future cash flows. Other than our subordinated notes, the carrying amount of all
significant financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of
maturity, the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market
rates, or as a result of mark to market accounting. A summary of the fair value of the
subordinated notes as of June 30, 2009, based on quoted, level one market data, follows:

Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The accounts requiring the use of significant
estimates include accounts receivable, inventories, income taxes, intangible assets and
certain reserves.
Accounting Changes
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted a general accounting principle
relating to debt with cash conversion options which required the Company to account
separately for the debt and equity components of its 3.5% senior subordinated convertible
notes. The value ascribed to the debt component was determined using a fair value
methodology, with the residual representing the equity component. The equity component
was recorded as an increase in equity, with the debt discount being amortized as
additional interest expense over the expected life of the instrument. The Company has
applied the provisions of this accounting principle retrospectively to all periods
presented herein in accordance with general accounting principles governing accounting
changes. As a result of this accounting change, the Companys retained earnings as of
January 1, 2008 decreased by $13,884 from $587,566 as originally reported to $573,682.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted a general accounting principle
relating to earnings per share which required that unvested share-based payment awards
with non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents be considered
participating securities that must be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the
two-class method. The Company has applied the provisions of this accounting principle
retrospectively to all periods presented herein in accordance with accounting principles
governing accounting changes.
The following tables summarize the effect of the accounting changes described above
on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncement
A new accounting pronouncement amending the consolidation guidance relating to
variable interest entities (VIE) will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2010.
The new guidance replaces the current quantitative model for determining the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity with a qualitative approach that considers
which entity has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the
variable interest entitys performance and whether the entity has an obligation to absorb
losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the
variable interest entity. The new guidance also requires: an additional reconsideration
event for determining whether an entity is a VIE when holders of an at risk equity
investment lose voting or similar rights to direct the activities that most significantly
impact the entities economic performance; ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is
the primary beneficiary of a VIE; separate presentation of the assets and liabilities of
the VIE on the balance sheet; and additional disclosures about an entitys involvement
with a VIE. The adoption of the accounting pronouncement will not impact the Companys
Consolidated Financial Statements.

5. Floor Plan Notes Payable Trade and Non-trade
The Company finances substantially all of its new and a portion of its used vehicle
inventories under revolving floor plan arrangements with various lenders. In the U.S.,
the floor plan arrangements are due on demand; however, the Company has not historically
been required to repay floor plan advances prior to the sale of the vehicles that have
been financed. The Company typically makes monthly interest payments on the amount
financed. Outside the U.S., substantially all of the floor plan arrangements are payable
on demand or have an original maturity of 90 days or less, and the Company is generally
required to repay floor plan advances at the earlier of the sale of the vehicles that
have been financed or the stated maturity. All of the floor plan agreements grant a
security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Companys dealership
subsidiaries, and in the U.S. are guaranteed by the Companys parent. Interest rates
under the floor plan arrangements are variable and increase or decrease based on changes
in the prime rate, defined LIBOR or Euro Interbank Offer Rate. The Company classifies
floor plan notes payable to a party other than the manufacturer of a particular new
vehicle, and all floor plan notes payable relating to pre-owned vehicles, as floor plan
notes payable non-trade on its consolidated condensed balance sheets, and classifies
related cash flows as a financing activity on its consolidated condensed statements of
cash flows.
6. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed using net income attributable to Penske
Automotive Group common stockholders and weighted average shares of voting common stock
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using net income attributable to
Penske Automotive Group common stockholders and the weighted average shares of voting
common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options. A
reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted
earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, 3 and 222 stock options,
respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share
because the effect of such securities was anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive
stock options outstanding during the three or six months ended June 30, 2008. In
addition, the Company has senior subordinated convertible notes outstanding which, under
certain circumstances discussed in Note 7, may be converted to voting common stock. As of
June 30, 2009 and 2008, no shares related to the senior subordinated convertible notes
were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of such
securities was anti-dilutive.

U.S. Credit Agreement
The Company is party to a $479,000 credit agreement with DCFS USA LLC and Toyota
Motor Credit Corporation, as amended (the U.S. Credit Agreement), which provides for up
to $250,000 in revolving loans for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures,
investments and for other general corporate purposes, a non-amortizing term loan
originally funded for $219,000, and for an additional $10,000 of availability for letters
of credit, through September 30, 2011. The revolving loans bear interest at defined LIBOR
plus 1.75%, subject to an incremental 0.50% for uncollateralized borrowings in excess of
a defined borrowing base. The term loan, which bears interest at defined LIBOR plus
2.50%, may be prepaid at any time, but then may not be re-borrowed.
The U.S. Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and
several basis by the Companys domestic subsidiaries and contains a number of significant
covenants that, among other things, restrict the Companys ability to dispose of assets,
incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens on
assets, make investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. The
Company is also required to comply with specified financial and other tests and ratios,
each as defined in the U.S. Credit Agreement, including: a ratio of current assets to
current liabilities, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a ratio of debt to stockholders
equity and a ratio of debt to EBITDA. A breach of these requirements would give rise to
certain remedies under the agreement, the most severe of which is the termination of the
agreement and acceleration of the amounts owed. As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in
compliance with all covenants under the U.S. Credit Agreement.
The U.S. Credit Agreement also contains typical events of default, including change
of control, non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to the Companys other material
indebtedness. Substantially all of the Companys domestic assets are subject to security
interests granted to lenders under the U.S. Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2009,
$199,000 of term loans and $500 of letters of credit were outstanding under this
facility. There were no revolving loans outstanding as of June 30, 2009.
U.K. Credit Agreement
The Companys subsidiaries in the U.K. (the U.K. Subsidiaries) are party to an
agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as agent for National Westminster Bank
plc, as amended, which provides for a funded term loan, a revolving credit agreement and
a seasonally adjusted overdraft line of credit (collectively, the U.K. Credit
Agreement) to be used to finance acquisitions, working capital, and general corporate
purposes. The U.K. Credit Agreement provides for (1) up to £80,000 in revolving loans
through August 31, 2011, which bears interest between a defined LIBOR plus 1.0% and
defined LIBOR plus 1.6%, (2) a term loan originally funded for £30,000 which bears
interest between 6.29% and 6.89% and is payable ratably in quarterly intervals until
fully repaid on June 30, 2011, and (3) a seasonally adjusted overdraft line of credit for
up to £20,000 that bears interest at the Bank of England Base Rate plus 1.75% and matures
on August 31, 2011.

PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The U.K. Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and
several basis by the U.K. Subsidiaries, and contains a number of significant covenants
that, among other things, restrict the ability of the U.K. Subsidiaries to pay dividends,
dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, create liens
on assets, make investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. In
addition, the U.K. Subsidiaries are required to comply with specified ratios and tests,
each as defined in the U.K. Credit Agreement, including: a ratio of earnings before
interest and taxes plus rental payments to interest plus rental payments (as defined), a
measurement of maximum capital expenditures, and a debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined). A
breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the agreement, the
most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of the amounts
owed. As of June 30, 2009, the U.K. subsidiaries were in compliance with all covenants
under the U.K. Credit Agreement.
The U.K. Credit Agreement also contains typical events of default, including change
of control and non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to other material
indebtedness of the U.K. Subsidiaries. Substantially all of the U.K. Subsidiaries assets
are subject to security interests granted to lenders under the U.K. Credit Agreement. As
of June 30, 2009, outstanding loans under the U.K. Credit Agreement amounted to £36,465
($60,000), including £14,117 ($23,228) under the term loan.
7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes
In December 2006, the Company issued $375,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.75%
senior subordinated notes (the 7.75% Notes) due 2016. The 7.75% Notes are unsecured
senior subordinated notes and are subordinate to all existing and future senior debt,
including debt under the Companys credit agreements, mortgages and floor plan
indebtedness. The 7.75% Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Companys
wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries on an unsecured senior subordinated basis. Those
guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The Company can redeem all
or some of the 7.75% Notes at its option beginning in December 2011 at specified
redemption prices, or prior to December 2011 at 100% of the principal amount of the notes
plus an applicable make-whole premium, as defined. In addition, the Company may redeem
up to 40% of the 7.75% Notes at specified redemption prices using the proceeds of certain
equity offerings before December 15, 2009. Upon certain sales of assets or specific kinds
of changes of control, the Company is required to make an offer to purchase the 7.75%
Notes. The 7.75% Notes also contain customary negative covenants and events of default.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all negative covenants and there
were no events of default.
Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes
In January 2006, the Company issued $375,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.50%
senior subordinated convertible notes due 2026 (the Convertible Notes), of which
$306,260 are currently outstanding. The Convertible Notes mature on April 1, 2026, unless
earlier converted, redeemed or purchased by the Company, as discussed below. The
Convertible Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and are subordinate to
all future and existing debt under the Companys credit agreements, mortgages and floor
plan indebtedness. The Convertible Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior
subordinated basis by substantially all of the Companys wholly-owned domestic
subsidiaries. Those guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The
Convertible Notes also contain customary negative covenants and events of default. As of
June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all negative covenants and there were
no events of default.
Holders of the convertible notes may convert them based on a conversion rate of
42.7796 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes
(which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $23.38 per share), subject to
adjustment, only under the following circumstances: (1) in any quarterly period, if the
closing price of the common stock for twenty of the last thirty trading days in the prior
quarter exceeds $28.43 (subject to adjustment), (2) for specified periods, if the trading
price of the Convertible Notes falls below specific thresholds, (3) if the Convertible
Notes are called for redemption, (4) if specified distributions to holders of common
stock are made or specified corporate transactions occur, (5) if a fundamental change (as
defined) occurs, or (6) during the ten trading days prior to, but excluding, the maturity
date.
Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, for each $1,000 principal amount of the
Convertible Notes, a holder will receive an amount in cash, in lieu of shares of the
Companys common stock, equal to the lesser of (i) $1,000 or (ii) the conversion value,
determined in the manner set forth in the related indenture covering the Convertible
Notes, of the number of shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate. If the
conversion value exceeds $1,000, the Company will also deliver, at its election, cash,
common stock or a combination of cash and common stock with respect to the remaining
value deliverable upon conversion.
In the event of a change of control on or before April 6, 2011, the Company will, in
certain circumstances, pay a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate used in
that conversion. In addition, the Company will pay additional cash interest, commencing
with six-month periods beginning on April 1, 2011, if the average trading price of a
Convertible Note for certain periods in the prior six-month period equals 120% or more of
the principal amount of the Convertible Notes. On or after April 6, 2011, the
Company may redeem the Convertible Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to
time, for cash at a
redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be
redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date.
13
PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a
portion of their Convertible Notes for cash on each of April 1, 2011, April 1, 2016 or
April 1, 2021 at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
Convertible Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
applicable purchase date.
In March 2009, the Company repurchased $68,740 principal amount of its outstanding
Convertible Notes, which had a book value of $62,831 net of debt discount, for $51,425.
In connection with the transaction, the Company wrote off $5,909 of unamortized debt
discount and $672 of unamortized deferred financing costs, and incurred $305 of
transaction costs. No element of the consideration was allocated to the reacquisition of
the equity component because the consideration paid was less than the fair value of the
liability component prior to extinguishment. As a result, the Company recorded a $10,429
pre-tax gain in connection with the repurchase.
The liability and equity components related to the Convertible Notes consist of the

The remaining unamortized debt discount will be amortized as additional interest
expense through the date the Company expects to be required to redeem the Convertible
Notes, approximately $12,984 of which will be recognized as an increase of interest
expense over the next twelve months. The annual effective interest rate on the liability
component is 8.25%.
Mortgage Facilities
The Company is party to a $42,400 mortgage facility with respect to certain of our
dealership properties that matures on October 1, 2015. The facility bears interest at a
defined rate, requires monthly principal and interest payments, and includes the option
to extend the term for successive periods of five years up to a maximum term of
twenty-five years. In the event the Company exercises its options to extend the term, the
interest rate will be renegotiated at each renewal period. The mortgage facility also
contains typical events of default, including non-payment of obligations, cross-defaults
to the Companys other material indebtedness, certain change of control events, and the
loss or sale of certain franchises operated at the property. Substantially all of the
buildings, improvements, fixtures and personal property of the properties under the
mortgage facility are subject to security interests granted to the lender. As of June 30,
2009, $41,804 was outstanding under this facility.
8. Interest Rate Swaps
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with
the Companys variable rate floor plan debt. The Company is party to interest rate swap
agreements through January 7, 2011 pursuant to which the LIBOR portion of $300,000 of the
Companys floating rate floor plan debt was fixed at 3.67%. We may terminate these
arrangements at any time, subject to the settlement of the then current fair value of the
swap arrangements. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges of future interest
payments of LIBOR based U.S. floor plan borrowings. The effective portion of the gain or
loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and
reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company used Level 2 inputs to estimate the fair value of
these contracts to be a liability of $12,954, of which $9,296 and $3,658 are recorded in
accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company
recognized a net gain of $1,464 related to the interest rate swaps in accumulated other
comprehensive income, and reclassified $4,894 of existing derivative losses from
accumulated other comprehensive income into floor plan interest expense in the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company expects approximately $9,296 associated
with the swaps to be recognized as an increase of interest expense over the next twelve
months as the hedged interest payments become due. During the six months ended June 30,
2009, the swaps increased the weighted average interest rate on the Companys floor plan
borrowings by approximately 0.3%.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company is involved in litigation which may relate to claims brought by
governmental authorities, issues with customers, and employment related matters, and
includes class action claims and purported class action claims. As of June 30, 2009, the
Company is not party to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits, that
individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Companys results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an
unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse
effect on the Companys results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. See
MD&A -Forward Looking Statements.
The Company has historically structured its operations so as to minimize ownership
of real property. As a result, the Company leases or subleases substantially all of its
facilities. These leases are generally for a period between five and 20 years, and are
typically structured to include renewal options at the Companys election. Pursuant to
the leases for some of the Companys larger facilities, the Company is required to comply
with specified financial ratios, including a rent coverage ratio and a debt to EBITDA
ratio, each as defined. For these leases, non-compliance with the ratios may require the
Company to post collateral in the form of a letter of credit. A breach of the other
lease covenants give rise to certain remedies by the landlord, the most severe of which
include the termination of the applicable lease and an acceleration of the payments due
under the lease.
The Company has sold a number of dealerships to third parties and, as a condition to
certain of those sales, remains liable for the lease payments relating to the properties
on which those franchises operate in the event of non-payment by the buyer. In this
event, the Company could be required to fulfill that buyers rent and other obligations,
which could materially adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition or
cash flows.
10. Equity
Comprehensive income
Other comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation gains and losses,
as well as changes relating to certain other immaterial items, including: certain defined
benefit plans in the U.K., changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements,
and valuation adjustments relating to certain available for sale securities, each of
which has been excluded from net income and reflected in equity. Total comprehensive
income is summarized as follows:

11. Segment Information
The Companys operations are organized by management into operating segments by line
of business and geography. The Company has determined it has three reportable operating
segments as defined in general accounting principles for segment reporting, including:
(i) Retail, consisting of our automotive retail operations, (ii) Distribution, consisting
of our distribution of the smart fortwo vehicle, parts and accessories in the U.S. and
Puerto Rico, and (iii) PAG Investments, consisting of our investments in non-automotive
retail operations. The Retail reportable segment includes all automotive dealerships and
all departments relating to the operation of the dealerships. The individual dealership
operations included in the Retail segment have been grouped into five geographic
operating segments, which have been aggregated into one reportable segment as their
operations (A) have similar economic characteristics (all are automotive dealerships
having similar margins), (B) offer similar products and services (all sell new and used
vehicles, service, parts and third-party finance and insurance products), (C) have
similar target markets and customers (generally individuals) and (D) have similar
distribution and marketing practices (all distribute products and services through
dealership facilities that market to customers in similar fashions). In connection with
the addition of PAG Investments, we have reclassified historical amounts to conform to
our current segment presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following table summarizes revenues and income from continuing operations before
certain non-recurring items and income taxes, which is the measure by which management
allocates resources to its segments, and which we refer to as adjusted segment income,
for each of our reportable segments. Adjusted segment income excludes the item in the
table below in order to enhance the comparability of segment income from period to
period.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations |
This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in Forward Looking
Statements. We have acquired and initiated a number of businesses since inception. Our
financial statements include the results of operations of those businesses from the date
acquired or when they commenced operations. This Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been updated to reflect the revision of
our financial statements for entities which have been treated as discontinued operations
through June 30, 2009.
Overview
We are the second largest automotive retailer headquartered in the U.S. as measured
by total revenues. As of June 30, 2009, we owned and operated 160 franchises in the U.S.
and 151 franchises outside of the U.S., primarily in the United Kingdom. We offer a full
range of vehicle brands with 95% of our total retail vehicle revenue in 2009 generated
from brands of non-U.S. based manufacturers and sales relating to premium brands, such as
Audi, BMW, Cadillac and Porsche, representing 65% of our total retail vehicle revenue.
Each of our dealerships offers a wide selection of new and used vehicles for sale. In
addition to selling new and used vehicles, we generate higher-margin revenue at each of
our dealerships through maintenance and repair services and the sale and placement of
higher-margin products, such as third party finance and insurance products, third-party
extended service contracts and replacement and aftermarket automotive products. We are
also diversified geographically, with 64% of our total revenues in 2009 generated from
operations in the U.S. and 36% generated from our operations outside the U.S.
(predominately in the U.K.).
We are also, through smart USA Distributor, LLC (smart USA), a wholly-owned
subsidiary, the exclusive distributor of the smart fortwo vehicle in the U.S. and Puerto
Rico. The smart fortwo is manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars and is a Daimler brand. This
technologically advanced vehicle achieves 40-plus miles per gallon on the highway and is
an ultra-low emissions vehicle as certified by the State of California Air Resources
Board. smart USA has certified a network of more than 75 smart dealerships, nine of which
are owned and operated by us. The smart fortwo offers five different versions, the pure,
passion coupe, passion cabriolet, BRABUS coupe and BRABUS cabriolet, with base prices
ranging from $11,990 to $20,990. We currently expect to distribute more than 18,000 smart
fortwo vehicles in 2009.
In June 2008, we acquired a 9.0% limited partnership interest in Penske Truck
Leasing Co., L.P. (PTL), a leading global transportation services provider, from
subsidiaries of General Electric Capital Corporation (collectively, GE Capital) in
exchange for $219.0 million. PTL operates and maintains more than 200,000 vehicles and
serves customers in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Product lines include
full-service leasing, contract maintenance, commercial and consumer truck rental and
logistics services, including, transportation and distribution center management and
supply chain management. The general partner is Penske Truck Leasing Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Penske Corporation, which together with other wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Penske Corporation, owns 41.1% of PTL. The remaining 49.9% of PTL is
owned by GE Capital. We expect to receive annual pro-rata cash distributions of
partnership profits and realize U.S. cash tax savings relating to this investment.
In June 2009, we announced that we have entered into a non-binding memorandum of
understanding (MOU) with General Motors regarding the potential acquisition of certain
assets relating to the Saturn automotive brand. Pursuant to the MOU, we would obtain the
rights to the Saturn brand, acquire certain assets including Saturn parts inventory, and
have the right to distribute vehicles and parts through the Saturn dealership network. We
do not intend to enter the manufacturing business nor does this transaction contemplate
us purchasing any of the existing Saturn retailer network. If consummated, we anticipate
offering existing Saturn retailers with a new sales and service agreement. General Motors
would continue to provide Saturn Aura, Vue and Outlook vehicles, on a contract basis, for
an interim period. Any closing of the transaction is subject to satisfactory completion
of due diligence, regulatory and other approvals.
Outlook
There has been reduced consumer confidence and spending in the markets in which we
operate, which we believe has resulted in reduced customer traffic in our dealerships,
particularly since September 2008. We expect our business to remain significantly
impacted by economic conditions in 2009. Market conditions have also negatively impacted
vehicle manufacturers. In particular, the U.S. based automotive manufacturers have
experienced critical operational and financial distress, due in part to shrinking market
share in the U.S. and the recent limitation in worldwide credit capacity. In 2008 and
early 2009, certain U.S. based manufacturers received support from the U.S. government
in the form of loans and two manufacturers filed for bankruptcy during the second
quarter. While we have limited exposure to these manufacturers as a percentage of our
overall revenue, the restructuring of them may lead to significant disruption to the
automotive supply chain and to our dealerships that represent those manufacturers, and
could possibly also impact other automotive manufacturers and suppliers. We cannot
reasonably predict the impact to the automotive retail environment of any such
disruption. We have been notified that our franchise rights at one of our General Motors
dealerships will be terminated in 2010 as part of General Motors restructuring under
bankruptcy
protection. We do not expect this termination to materially adversely affect our
results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
25
In addition, continued weakness in worldwide credit markets has resulted in an
increase in the cost of capital for the captive finance subsidiaries that provide us
financing for our inventory procurement. Interest rates under our inventory borrowing
arrangements are variable and based on changes in the prime rate, defined LIBOR or the
Euro Interbank Offer Rate (the base rate), plus a spread that varies by lender. While
the base rate under these arrangements are generally lower due to government actions
designed to spur liquidity and bank lending activities, certain of our lenders raised
the spread charged to us, or have established minimum lending rates. These increases
varied between 50 and 250 basis points. Due to these relative increases, we do not
expect to realize the full benefit of the lower base rates expected in 2009 compared to
2008. The increases levied by lenders to date would result in $5.8 million of
incremental floorplan interest expense based on average outstanding balances during
2008.
In response to the challenging operating environment, we have undertaken
significant cost saving initiatives. In 2008, we eliminated approximately 1,400
positions, representing approximately 10.0% of our worldwide workforce, and amended pay
plans for certain other employees to better align our workforce for current business
levels and to reduce compensation expense generally. Other cost curtailment initiatives
included a reduction in advertising activities, suspension of matching contributions to
certain of our defined contribution plans, and the suspension of our quarterly cash
dividends to stockholders. We continue to monitor the business climate, and are taking
such further actions as needed to respond to current business conditions.
Operating Overview
New and used vehicle revenues include sales to retail customers and to leasing
companies providing consumer automobile leasing. We generate finance and insurance
revenues from sales of third-party extended service contracts, sales of third-party
insurance policies, fees for facilitating the sale of third-party finance and lease
contracts and the sale of certain other products. Service and parts revenues include fees
paid for repair, maintenance and collision services, and the sale of replacement parts
and the sale of aftermarket accessories. During the three and six months ended June 30,
2009, we experienced a year over year decline on a same store basis of new and used
vehicle unit sales, coupled with a corresponding decrease in finance and insurance
revenues. Our same store service and parts business also experienced a decline during
these periods, although less so than vehicle sales. We expect a continuation of this
difficult operating environment throughout 2009.
Our gross profit tends to vary with the mix of revenues we derive from the sale of
new vehicles, used vehicles, finance and insurance products, service and parts
transactions, and the distribution of the smart fortwo. Our gross profit varies across
product lines, with vehicle sales usually resulting in lower gross profit margins and our
other revenues resulting in higher gross profit margins. Factors such as customer demand,
consumer confidence, unemployment, general economic conditions, seasonality, weather,
credit availability, fuel prices and manufacturers advertising and incentives may impact
the mix of our revenues, and therefore influence our gross profit margin. During the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we experienced year over year margin declines
relating to our new vehicle sales and service and parts operations, and an increase in
used vehicle sales margins. We expect such margin pressure to continue throughout 2009.
Our selling expenses consist of advertising and compensation for sales personnel,
including commissions and related bonuses. General and administrative expenses include
compensation for administration, finance, legal and general management personnel, rent,
insurance, utilities and other outside services. A significant portion of our selling
expenses are variable, and we believe a significant portion of our general and
administrative expenses are subject to our control, allowing us to adjust them over time
to reflect economic trends. Our selling, general, and administrative expenses for
compensation and advertising have decreased during the three and six months ended June
30, 2009, due in part to lower vehicle sales volumes, coupled with the cost saving
initiatives outlined above. Our rent expense is expected to grow as a result of cost of
living indexes outlined in our lease agreements; however, this increase during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2009 has been offset somewhat by
recent increases in cost of living adjustments below our anticipated
adjustment for certain leases, as well as by concessions granted by
certain landlords in recognition of current market conditions. As outlined in Outlook
above, we will continue to monitor the business climate, and take such further actions as
needed to respond to business conditions.
Floor plan interest expense relates to financing incurred in connection with the
acquisition of new and used vehicle inventories that is secured by those vehicles. Other
interest expense consists of interest on all of our interest-bearing debt, other than
interest relating to floor plan financing. The cost of our variable rate indebtedness is
typically based on benchmark lending rates, which are based in large part upon national
inter-bank lending rates set by local governments. During the latter part of 2008, such
benchmark rates were significantly reduced as a result of government actions designed to
spur liquidity and bank lending activities. As a result, our cost of capital on variable
rate indebtedness has declined during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009;
however, the significance of this decrease is limited somewhat by the increases in rate
spreads being charged by our vehicle finance partners outlined in Outlook above.
Equity in earnings of affiliates represents our share of the earnings relating to
investments in various joint ventures and other non-consolidated investments, including
PTL. It is our expectation that the difficult operating conditions outlined above will
similarly impact these businesses throughout 2009.
26
The future success of our business will likely be dependent on, among other things,
general economic and industry conditions, our ability to consummate and integrate
acquisitions, our ability to increase sales of higher margin products, especially service
and parts services, our ability to realize returns on our significant capital investment
in new and upgraded dealerships, the success of our distribution of the smart fortwo, and
the return realized from our investments in various joint ventures and other
non-consolidated investments. See Part II Item 1A Risk Factors and Forward-Looking
Statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires the application of accounting
policies that often involve making estimates and employing judgments. Such judgments
influence the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses recognized in our financial
statements. Management, on an ongoing basis, reviews these estimates and assumptions.
Management may determine that modifications in assumptions and estimates are required,
which may result in a material change in our results of operations or financial position.
The following are the accounting policies applied in the preparation of our
financial statements that management believes are most dependent upon the use of
estimates and assumptions.
Revenue Recognition
Vehicle, Parts and Service Sales
We record revenue when vehicles are delivered and title has passed to the customer,
when vehicle service or repair work is performed and when parts are delivered to our
customers. Sales promotions that we offer to customers are accounted for as a reduction
of revenues at the time of sale. Rebates and other incentives offered directly to us by
manufacturers are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales. Reimbursements of qualified
advertising expenses are treated as a reduction of selling, general and administrative
expenses. The amounts received under various manufacturer rebate and incentive programs
are based on the attainment of program objectives, and such earnings are recognized
either upon the sale of the vehicle for which the award was received, or upon attainment
of the particular program goals if not associated with individual vehicles. During the
six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we earned $144.9 million and $172.2 million,
respectively, of rebates, incentives and reimbursements from manufacturers, of which
$142.1 million and $168.5 million was recorded as a reduction of cost of sales.
Finance and Insurance Sales
Subsequent to the sale of a vehicle to a customer, we sell our installment sale
contracts to various financial institutions on a non-recourse basis (with specified
exceptions) to mitigate the risk of default. We receive a commission from the lender
equal to either the difference between the interest rate charged to the customer and the
interest rate set by the financing institution or a flat fee. We also receive commissions
for facilitating the sale of various third-party insurance products to customers,
including credit and life insurance policies and extended service contracts. These
commissions are recorded as revenue at the time the customer enters into the contract.
Intangible Assets
Our principal intangible assets relate to our franchise agreements with vehicle
manufacturers, which represent the estimated value of franchises acquired in business
combinations, and goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of
tangible and identified intangible assets acquired in business combinations. We believe
the franchise value of our dealerships have an indefinite useful life based on the
following facts:
|
|
|
Automotive retailing is a mature industry and is based on franchise agreements with the vehicle manufacturers; |
|
|
|
|
There are no known changes or events that would alter the automotive retailing franchise environment; |
|
|
|
|
Certain franchise agreement terms are indefinite; |
|
|
|
|
Franchise agreements that have limited terms have historically been renewed by us without substantial cost; and |
|
|
|
|
Our history shows that manufacturers have not terminated our franchise agreements. |
Impairment Testing
Franchise value impairment is assessed as of October 1 every year and upon the
occurrence of an indicator of impairment through a comparison of its carrying amounts and
estimated fair values. An indicator of impairment exists if the carrying value of a
franchise exceeds its estimated fair value, and an impairment loss may be recognized up
to that excess. We also evaluate our franchises in connection with the annual impairment
testing to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support our assessment
that the franchise value has an indefinite life.
27
Goodwill impairment is assessed at the reporting unit level as of October 1 every
year and upon the occurrence of an indicator of impairment. We have determined that the
dealerships in each of our operating segments within the Retail reportable segment,
which are organized by geography, are components that are aggregated into five reporting
units as they (A) have similar economic characteristics (all are automotive dealerships
having similar margins), (B) offer similar products and services (all sell new and used
vehicles, service, parts and third-party finance and insurance products), (C) have
similar target markets and customers (generally individuals) and (D) have similar
distribution and marketing practices (all distribute products and services through
dealership facilities that market to customers in similar fashions). Accordingly, our
operating segments are also considered our reporting units for the purpose of goodwill
impairment testing relating to our Retail segment. There is no goodwill recorded
relating to our Distribution or PAG Investments reportable segments. An indicator of
goodwill impairment exists if the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including
goodwill, is determined to exceed its estimated fair value. If an indication of
goodwill impairment exists, an analysis reflecting the allocation of the fair value of
the reporting unit to all assets and liabilities, including previously unrecognized
intangible assets, is performed. The impairment is measured by comparing the implied
fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with its carrying amount, and an impairment
loss may be recognized up to that excess.
The fair values of franchise rights and goodwill are determined using a discounted
cash flow approach, which includes assumptions that include revenue and profitability
growth, franchise profit margins, residual values and our cost of capital.
Investments
Investments include investments in businesses accounted for under the equity method.
A majority of our investments are in joint ventures that are more fully described in
Joint Venture Relationships below. Such joint venture relationships are accounted for
under the equity method, pursuant to which we record our proportionate share of the joint
ventures income each period.
The net book value of our investments was $287.1 million and $297.8 million as of
June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Investments for which there is not a
liquid, actively traded market are reviewed periodically by management for indicators of
impairment. If an indicator of impairment is identified, management estimates the fair
value of the investment using a discounted cash flow approach, which includes assumptions
relating to revenue and profitability growth, profit margins, residual values and our
cost of capital. Declines in investment values that are deemed to be other than temporary
may result in an impairment charge reducing the investments carrying value to fair
value.
Self-Insurance
We retain risk relating to certain of our general liability insurance, workers
compensation insurance, auto physical damage insurance, property insurance, employment
practices liability insurance, directors and officers insurance and employee medical
benefits in the U.S. As a result, we are likely to be responsible for a majority of the
claims and losses incurred under these programs. The amount of risk we retain varies by
program, and, for certain exposures, we have pre-determined maximum loss limits for
certain individual claims and/or insurance periods. Losses, if any, above such
pre-determined loss limits are paid by third-party insurance carriers. Our estimate of
future losses is prepared by management using our historical loss experience and
industry-based development factors. Aggregate reserves relating to retained risk were
$22.5 million and $19.2 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Changes in the reserve estimate during 2009 relate primarily to the inclusion of
additional participants in our self-insured employee medical benefit plans and reserves
for current year activity in our general liability and workers compensation programs.
Income Taxes
Tax regulations may require items to be included in our tax return at different
times than the items are reflected in our financial statements. Some of these differences
are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible on our tax return, and some are
temporary differences, such as the timing of depreciation expense. Temporary differences
create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items
that will be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax return in future years which we
have already recorded in our financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities generally
represent deductions taken on our tax return that have not yet been recognized as expense
in our financial statements. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax
assets if the amount of expected future taxable income is not likely to allow for the use
of the deduction or credit. A valuation allowance of $3.4 million has been recorded
relating to net operating losses and credit carryforwards in the U.S. based on our
determination that it is more likely than not that they will not be utilized.
Classification of Franchises in Continuing and Discontinued Operations
We classify the results of our operations in our consolidated financial statements
based on general accounting principles for discontinued operations, which requires
judgment in determining whether a franchise will be reported within continuing or
discontinued operations. Such judgments include whether a franchise will be divested, the
period required to complete the divestiture, and the likelihood of changes to the
divestiture plans. If we determine that a franchise should be reclassified from
continuing operations to discontinued operations, or from discontinued operations to
continuing operations, our consolidated financial statements for prior periods are
revised to reflect such reclassification.
28
New Accounting Pronouncement
A new accounting pronouncement amending the consolidation guidance relating to
variable interest entities (VIE) will be effective for us on January 1, 2010. The new
guidance replaces the current quantitative model for determining the primary beneficiary
of a variable interest entity with a qualitative approach that considers which entity has
the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the variable interest
entitys performance and whether the entity has an obligation to absorb losses or the
right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the variable interest
entity. The new guidance also requires: an additional reconsideration event for
determining whether an entity is a VIE when holders of an at risk equity investment lose
voting or similar rights to direct the activities that most significantly impact the
entities economic performance; ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the
primary beneficiary of a VIE; separate presentation of the assets and liabilities of the
VIE on the balance sheet; and additional disclosures about an entitys involvement with a
VIE. The adoption of the accounting pronouncement will not impact our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Results of Operations
The following tables present comparative financial data relating to our operating
performance in the aggregate and on a same store basis. Dealership results are only
included in same store comparisons when we have consolidated the acquired entity during
the entirety of both periods being compared. As an example, if a dealership was acquired
on January 15, 2007, the results of the acquired entity would be included in annual same
store comparisons beginning with the year ended December 31, 2009 and in quarterly same
store comparisons beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Units
Retail unit sales of new vehicles decreased 16,946 units, or 33.8%, from 2008 to
2009. The decrease is due a 17,677 unit, or 35.9%, decrease in same store retail unit
sales during the period, offset by a 731 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions.
The same store decrease was due primarily to unit sales decreases in our volume foreign
brand stores in the U.S. and premium brand stores in the U.S. and U.K. During the second
quarter, unit sales in the U.S. market declined 32% and registrations in the U.K. market
declined 21%. The decline in our unit sales is associated with overall weak demand for
new vehicles and the associated decline in consumer traffic in our showrooms.
Revenues
New vehicle retail sales revenue decreased $635.2 million, or 36.8%, from 2008 to
2009. The decrease is due to a $669.0 million, or 39.3%, decrease in same store revenues,
offset by a $33.8 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same store
revenue decrease is due primarily to the 35.9% decrease in retail unit sales, which
reduced revenue by $610.9 million, coupled with a $1,843, or 5.3%, decrease in average
selling prices per unit which decreased revenue by $58.1 million.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from new vehicle sales decreased $58.4 million, or 40.4%, from
2008 to 2009. The decrease is due to a $60.9 million, or 42.8%, decrease in same store
gross profit, offset by a $2.5 million increase from net
dealership acquisitions. The same store decrease is due primarily to the 35.9% decrease in retail unit sales,
which reduced gross profit by $51.1 million, coupled with a $313, or 10.8%, decrease in
the average gross profit per new vehicle retailed, which decreased gross profit by
$9.8 million.

Units
Retail unit sales of used vehicles decreased 1,620 units, or 5.9%, from 2008 to
2009. The decrease is due to a 2,849 unit, or 10.4%, decrease in same store retail unit
sales, offset by a 1,229 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same store
decrease was due primarily to unit sales decreases in volume foreign brand stores in the
U.S. and premium brand stores in the U.K. We believe our sales of used vehicle units were
influenced by the reduction in traffic in our stores resulting from the decline in
consumer confidence, offset by customers electing to purchase used vehicles as a less
expensive alternative to new vehicles due to the challenging economic climate.
Revenues
Used vehicle retail sales revenue decreased $149.4 million, or 18.5%, from 2008 to
2009. The decrease is due to a $183.4 million, or 23.0%, decrease in same store revenues,
offset by a $34.0 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same store
revenue decrease is due to a $4,102, or 14.0%, decrease in comparative average selling
prices per unit, which decreased revenue by $100.2 million, coupled with the 10.4%
decrease in same store retail unit sales which decreased revenue by $83.2 million.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from used vehicle sales decreased $1.0 million, or 1.7%, from
2008 to 2009. The decrease is due to a $3.6 million, or 6.1%, decrease in same store
gross profit, offset by a $2.6 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The
decrease in same store gross profit is due to the 10.4% decrease in used retail unit
sales, which decreased gross profit by $6.2 million, offset by a $105, or 4.8%, increase
in average gross profit per used vehicle retailed, which increased retail gross profit by
$2.6 million.

The decrease is due to a $22.3 million, or 30.1%, decrease in same store revenues during
the period, offset by a $1.6 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same
store revenue decrease is due to a 26.8% decrease in retail unit sales, which decreased
revenue by $19.9 million, coupled with a $43, or 4.4%, decrease in comparative average
finance and insurance revenue per unit which decreased revenue by $2.4 million. The $43
decrease in comparative average finance and insurance revenue per unit retailed is due
primarily to decreased sales penetration of certain products, which we believe was
brought about by the challenging economic conditions.

Revenues
Service and parts revenue decreased $27.3 million, or 7.6%, from 2008 to 2009. The
decrease is due to a $40.3 million, or 11.4%, decrease in same store revenues during the
period, offset by a $13.0 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same
store decrease is due in part to a decline in pre-inspection and delivery work on new
vehicle inventories due to the 35.9% decrease in same store new vehicle retail unit
sales, coupled with a 14.2% same store decrease in body shop revenue.
Gross Profit
Service and parts gross profit decreased $18.6 million, or 9.2%, from 2008 to 2009.
The decrease is due to a $25.1 million, or 12.7%, decrease in same store gross profit
during the period, offset by a $6.5 million increase from net dealership acquisitions.
The same store gross profit decrease is due to the $40.3 million, or 11.4%, decrease in
same store revenues, which decreased gross profit by $22.3 million, coupled with a 0.8%
decrease in gross margin, which decreased gross profit by $2.8 million. The decline in
gross margin on parts, service and collision repairs in 2009 compared to the prior year
was due in part to a higher proportion of lower margin sales such as standard oil changes
and tire sales.
Distribution
smart USA, a wholly-owned subsidiary, began distributing the smart fortwo vehicle
in the U.S. in 2008. Distribution units wholesaled during the quarter decreased 4,072
units, or 52.7%, from 7,731 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 to 3,659 during
the three months ended June 30, 2009. Total distribution segment revenue decreased $58.0
million, or 49.6%, from $116.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 to
$58.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009. Segment gross profit, which
includes gross profit on vehicle and parts sales, totaled $7.5 million and $15.8 million
during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased $65.0 million, or
16.5%, from $393.0 million to $328.0 million. The aggregate decrease is due primarily to
a $74.7 million, or 19.4%, decrease in same store SG&A, offset by a $9.7 million increase
from net dealership acquisitions. The decrease in same store SG&A is due to (1) a net
decrease in variable selling expenses, including decreases in variable compensation, as a
result of the 23.6% decrease in same store retail gross profit versus the prior year and
(2) other cost savings initiatives discussed above under Outlook, offset by (1)
increased rent and other costs relating to our ongoing facility improvement and expansion
programs. SG&A expenses increased as a percentage of gross profit from 79.2% to 83.2%.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.4 million, or 2.9%, from $13.4 million to
$13.8 million. The increase is due to a $0.2 million, or 1.7%, increase in same store
depreciation and amortization, coupled with a $0.2 million increase from net dealership
acquisitions.
Floor Plan Interest Expense
Floor plan interest expense, including the impact of swap transactions, decreased
$7.2 million, or 44.5%, from $16.2 million to $9.0 million. The decrease is due to a
$7.3 million, or 45.7%, decrease in same store floor plan interest expense, offset by a
$0.1 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same store decrease is due in
large part to decreases in average outstanding floor plan balances, coupled with
decreases in interest rates charged to us. While the base rate under our floor plan
arrangements were generally lower in 2009 versus 2008, certain of our lenders reacted to
increases in their cost of capital by raising the spread charged to us or by establishing
minimum lending rates.
31
Other Interest Expense
Other interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 10.0%, from $12.4 million to
$13.7 million. The increase is due primarily to an increase in average outstanding
indebtedness in 2009 as a result of our investment in PTL in June 2008, offset by
decreases in benchmark lending rates.
Debt Discount Amortization
Debt discount amortization decreased $0.4 million, from $3.5 million to $3.1
million, due primarily to the write off of a portion of our aggregate debt discount in
connection with the repurchase of a portion of our outstanding 3.5% senior subordinated
convertible notes in March 2009.
Equity in Earnings of Affiliates
Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $0.5 million, from $3.0 million to $3.5
million. The increase from 2008 to 2009 is primarily related to earnings associated with
our investment in PTL in June 2008, offset by the impact of the difficult operating
conditions outlined above.
Income Taxes
Income taxes decreased $10.8 million, or 51.2%, from $21.1 million to $10.3 million.
The decrease from 2008 to 2009 is due to the decrease in our pre-tax income versus the
prior year, coupled with a decrease in our overall effective income tax rate resulting
from the relative strength of our operations in foreign markets with lower tax rates.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 (dollars
in millions, except per unit amounts)
Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 include a gain of $10.4 million
($6.5 million after-tax), or $0.07 per share, relating to the repurchase of $68.7 million
aggregate principal amount of our 3.5% senior subordinated convertible notes.

Units
Retail unit sales of new vehicles decreased 31,465 units, or 33.0%, from 2008 to
2009. The decrease is due a 33,323 unit, or 35.6%, decrease in same store retail unit
sales during the period, offset by a 1,858 unit increase from net dealership
acquisitions. The same store decrease was due primarily to unit sales decreases in our
volume foreign brand stores in the U.S. and premium brand stores in the U.S. and U.K.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, unit sales in the U.S. market declined 35%
while registrations in the U.K. market declined 26%. The decline in our unit sales is
associated with overall weak demand for new vehicles and the associated decline in
consumer traffic in our showrooms.
Revenues
New vehicle retail sales revenue decreased $1,288.3 million, or 38.4%, from 2008 to
2009. The decrease is due to a $1,353.5 million, or 41.1%, decrease in same store
revenues, offset by a $65.2 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same
store revenue decrease is due primarily to the 35.6% decrease in retail unit sales, which
reduced revenue by $1,173.3 million, coupled with a $2,988, or 8.5%, decrease in average
selling prices per unit which decreased revenue by $180.2 million.
32
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from new vehicle sales decreased $123.5 million, or 44.0%, from
2008 to 2009. The decrease is due to a $127.7 million, or 46.4%, decrease in same store
gross profit, offset by a $4.2 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The
same store decrease is due primarily to the 35.6% decrease in retail unit sales, which
reduced gross profit by $98.1 million, coupled with a $491, or 16.7%, decrease in the
average gross profit per new vehicle retailed, which decreased gross profit by
$29.6 million.

Units
Retail unit sales of used vehicles decreased 1,168 units, or 2.2%, from 2008 to
2009. The decrease is due to a 3,880 unit, or 7.3%, decrease in same store retail unit
sales, offset by a 2,712 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same store
decrease was due primarily to unit sales decreases in volume foreign brand stores in the
U.S. We believe our sales of used vehicle units were influenced by the reduction in
traffic in our stores resulting from the decline in consumer confidence, offset by
customers electing to purchase used vehicles as a less expensive alternative to new
vehicles due to the challenging economic climate.
Revenues
Used vehicle retail sales revenue decreased $326.4 million, or 20.4%, from 2008 to
2009. The decrease is due to a $392.3 million, or 24.9%, decrease in same store revenues,
offset by a $65.9 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same store
revenue decrease is due to a $5,631, or 19.0%, decrease in comparative average selling
prices per unit, which decreased revenue by $277.6 million, coupled with the 7.3%
decrease in same store retail unit sales which decreased revenue by $114.7 million.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from used vehicle sales decreased $10.6 million, or 8.4%, from
2008 to 2009. The decrease is due to a $16.7 million, or 13.5%, decrease in same store
gross profit, offset by a $6.1 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The
decrease in same store gross profit is due to the 7.3% decrease in used retail unit
sales, which decreased gross profit by $9.1 million, coupled with a $155, or 6.6%,
decrease in average gross profit per used vehicle retailed, which decreased retail gross
profit by $7.6 million.

Finance and insurance revenue decreased $46.1million, or 30.9%, from 2008 to 2009.
The decrease is due to a $49.1 million, or 33.4%, decrease in same store revenues during
the period, offset by a $3.0 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same
store revenue decrease is due to a 25.3% decrease in retail unit sales, which decreased
revenue by $37.2 million, coupled with a $109, or 10.9%, decrease in comparative average
finance and insurance revenue per unit which
decreased revenue by $11.9 million. The $109 decrease in comparative average finance
and insurance revenue per unit retailed is due primarily to decreased sales penetration
of certain products, which we believe was brought about by the challenging economic
conditions.

Revenues
Service and parts revenue decreased $58.6 million, or 8.2%, from 2008 to 2009. The
decrease is due to an $82.8 million, or 11.8%, decrease in same store revenues during the
period, offset by a $24.2 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same
store decrease is due in part to a decline in pre-inspection and delivery work on new
vehicle inventories due to the 35.6% decrease in same store new vehicle retail unit
sales, coupled with a 13.2% same store decrease in body shop revenue.
Gross Profit
Service and parts gross profit decreased $42.7 million, or 10.6%, from 2008 to 2009.
The decrease is due to a $54.6 million, or 13.8%, decrease in same store gross profit
during the period, offset by an $11.9 million increase from net dealership acquisitions.
The same store gross profit decrease is due to the $82.8 million, or 11.8%, decrease in
same store revenues, which decreased gross profit by $45.3 million, coupled with a 1.3%
decrease in gross margin, which decreased gross profit by $9.3 million. The decline in
gross margin on parts, service and collision repairs in 2009 compared to the prior year
was due in part to a higher proportion of lower margin sales such as standard oil changes
and tire sales.
Distribution
smart USA, a wholly-owned subsidiary, began distributing the smart fortwo vehicle
in the U.S. in 2008. Distribution units wholesaled during the period decreased 3,271
units, or 25.9%, from 12,644 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 9,373 during
the six months ended June 30, 2009. Total distribution segment revenue decreased $44.9
million, or 23.3%, from $192.4 million during the six months ended 2008 to $147.5 million
during the six months ended 2009. Segment gross profit, which includes gross profit on
vehicle and parts sales, totaled $19.5 million and $26.5 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased $145.7 million, or
18.5%, from $786.3 million to $640.6 million. The aggregate decrease is due primarily to
a $164.1 million, or 21.3%, decrease in same store SG&A, offset by an $18.4 million
increase from net dealership acquisitions. The decrease in same store SG&A is due to (1)
a net decrease in variable selling expenses, including decreases in variable
compensation, as a result of the 26.4% decrease in same store retail gross profit versus
the prior year and (2) other cost savings initiatives discussed above under Outlook,
offset by (1) increased rent and other costs relating to our ongoing facility improvement
and expansion programs. SG&A expenses increased as a percentage of gross profit from
79.9% to 84.1%.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.1 million, or 0.1%, from $26.7 million to
$26.6 million. The decrease is due to a $0.3 million, or 1.3%, decrease in same store
depreciation and amortization, offset by a $0.2 million increase from net dealership
acquisitions.
Floor Plan Interest Expense
Floor plan interest expense, including the impact of swap transactions, decreased
$14.7 million, or 44.3%, from $33.2 million to $18.5 million. The decrease is due to a
$14.8 million, or 45.6%, decrease in same store floor plan interest expense, offset by a
$0.1 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same store decrease is due in
large part to decreases in average outstanding floor plan balances, coupled with
decreases in interest rates charged to us. While the base rate under our floor plan
arrangements were generally lower in 2009 versus 2008, certain of our lenders reacted to
increases in their cost of capital by raising the spread charged to us or by establishing
minimum lending rates.
34
Other Interest Expense
Other interest expense increased $3.8 million, or 15.8%, from $24.3 million to
$28.1 million. The increase is due primarily to an increase in average outstanding
indebtedness in 2009 as a result of our investment in PTL in June 2008, offset by
decreases in benchmark lending rates.
Debt Discount Amortization
Debt discount amortization decreased $0.2 million, from $7.0 million to $6.8
million, due primarily to the write off of a portion of our aggregate debt discount in
connection with the repurchase of a portion of our outstanding 3.5% senior subordinated
convertible notes in March 2009.
Equity in Earnings of Affiliates
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased $0.2 million, from $4.4 million to $4.2
million. The decrease from 2008 to 2009 is primarily related to the impact of the
difficult operating conditions outlined above, offset by earnings associated with our
investment in PTL in June 2008.
Gain on Debt Repurchase
In March 2009, we repurchased $68.7 million principal amount of our outstanding 3.5%
senior subordinated convertible notes, which had a book value of $62.8 million net of
debt discount, for $51.4 million. In connection with the transaction, we wrote off $5.9
million of unamortized debt discount and $0.7 million of unamortized deferred financing
costs, and incurred $0.3 million of transaction costs. No element of the consideration
was allocated to the reacquisition of the equity component because the consideration paid
was less than the fair value of the liability component prior to extinguishment. As a
result, we recorded a $10.4 million pre-tax gain in connection with the repurchase.
Income Taxes
Income taxes decreased $18.9 million, or 48.5%, from $38.9 million to $20.0 million.
The decrease from 2008 to 2009 is due to the decrease in our pre-tax income versus the
prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash requirements are primarily for working capital, inventory financing, the
acquisition of new businesses, the improvement and expansion of existing facilities, the
construction of new facilities and debt service, and potentially for dividends and
repurchases of outstanding securities under the program discussed below. Historically,
these cash requirements have been met through cash flow from operations, borrowings under
our credit agreements and floor plan arrangements, the issuance of debt securities,
sale-leaseback transactions, mortgages, or the issuance of equity securities. As of June
30, 2009, we had working capital of $68.4 million, including $21.9 million of cash,
available to fund our operations and capital commitments. In addition, we had
$250.0 million and £67.7 million ($111.3 million) available for borrowing under our U.S.
credit agreement and our U.K. credit agreement, respectively, each of which is discussed
below.
We have historically expanded our retail automotive operations through organic
growth and the acquisition of retail automotive dealerships. In addition, one of our
subsidiaries is the exclusive distributor of smart fortwo vehicles in the U.S. and Puerto
Rico. We believe that cash flow from operations and our existing capital resources,
including the liquidity provided by our credit agreements and floor plan financing
arrangements, will be sufficient to fund our operations and commitments for at least the
next twelve months. To the extent we pursue additional significant acquisitions,
including the potential acquisition of certain assets relating to the Saturn automotive
brand, other expansion opportunities, significant repurchases of our outstanding
securities, or refinance or repay existing debt, we may need to raise additional capital
either through the public or private issuance of equity or debt securities or through
additional borrowings which sources of funds may not necessarily be available on terms
acceptable to us, if at all. In addition, our liquidity could be negatively impacted in
the event we fail to comply with the covenants under our various financing and operating
agreements or in the event our floor plan financing is withdrawn. For a discussion of
these possible events, see the discussion below with respect to our financing agreements.
Share Repurchases and Dividends
Our board of directors has approved a repurchase program for our outstanding
securities with a remaining authority of $44.9 million. During the first quarter of 2009,
we repurchased $68.7 million aggregate principal amount of 3.5% senior subordinated
convertible notes for $51.4 million under this program. We may, from time to time as
market conditions warrant, purchase our outstanding common stock, debt or convertible
debt on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions and, potentially, via a
tender offer or a pre-arranged trading plan. We have historically funded repurchases
through cash flow from operations and borrowings under our U.S. credit facility. The
decision to make repurchases will be based on factors such as the market price of the
relevant security versus our view of its intrinsic value, the potential impact of such
repurchases on our capital structure, and
alternative uses of capital, such as for strategic investments in our current
businesses, as well as any then-existing limits imposed by our finance agreements and
securities trading policy.
35
We paid dividends of nine cents per share on March 3, 2008, June 2, 2008, September
1, 2008 and December 1, 2008. In February 2009, we announced the suspension of our
quarterly cash dividend. Future quarterly or other cash dividends will depend upon our
earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, restrictions on any then existing
indebtedness and other factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors.
Inventory Financing
We finance substantially all of our new and a portion of our used vehicle
inventories under revolving floor plan notes payable with various lenders, including the
captive finance companies associated with the U.S. based automotive manufacturers. In the
U.S., the floor plan arrangements are due on demand; however, we have not historically
been required to make loan principal repayments prior to the sale of the vehicles
financed. We typically make monthly interest payments on the amount financed. In the
U.K., substantially all of our floor plan arrangements are payable on demand or have an
original maturity of 90 days or less and we are generally required to repay floor plan
advances at the earlier of the sale of the vehicles financed or the stated maturity. The
floor plan agreements grant a security interest in substantially all of the assets of our
dealership subsidiaries and in the U.S. are guaranteed by our parent company. Interest
rates under the floor plan arrangements are variable and increase or decrease based on
changes in the prime rate, defined LIBOR or the Euro Interbank offer Rate. We receive
non-refundable credits from certain of our vehicle manufacturers, which are treated as a
reduction of cost of sales as vehicles are sold. To date, we have not experienced any
material limitation with respect to the amount or availability of financing from any
institution providing us vehicle financing. See Results of Operations Floor Plan
Interest Expense for a discussion of the impact of challenging credit conditions on the
rates charged to us under these agreements.
U.S. Credit Agreement
We are party to a $479.0 million credit agreement with DCFS USA LLC and Toyota Motor
Credit Corporation, as amended (the U.S. credit agreement), which provides for up to
$250.0 million in revolving loans for working capital, acquisitions, capital
expenditures, investments and other general corporate purposes, a non-amortizing term
loan originally funded for $219.0 million, and for an additional $10.0 million of
availability for letters of credit, through September 30, 2011. The revolving loans bear
interest at a defined LIBOR plus 1.75%, subject to an incremental 0.50% for
uncollateralized borrowings in excess of a defined borrowing base. The term loan, which
bears interest at defined LIBOR plus 2.50%, may be prepaid at any time, but then may not
be re-borrowed.
The U.S. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and
several basis by our domestic subsidiaries and contains a number of significant covenants
that, among other things, restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional
indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make
investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. We are also required
to comply with specified financial and other tests and ratios, each as defined in the
U.S. credit agreement, including: a ratio of current assets to current liabilities, a
fixed charge coverage ratio, a ratio of debt to stockholders equity and a ratio of debt
to EBITDA. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the
agreement, the most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration
of the amounts owed. As of June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all covenants under
the U.S. credit agreement, and we believe we will remain in compliance with such
covenants for the next twelve months. In making such determination, we have considered
the current margin of compliance with the covenants and our expected future results of
operations, working capital requirements, acquisitions, capital expenditures and
investments. However, in the event of continued weakness in the economy and the
automotive sector in particular, we may need to seek covenant relief. See Forward
Looking Statements.
The U.S. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change
of control, non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to our other material
indebtedness. Substantially all of our domestic assets are subject to security interests
granted to lenders under the U.S. credit agreement. As of June 30, 2009, $199.0 of term
loans and $0.5 million of letters of credit were outstanding under this facility. There
were no revolving loans outstanding as of June 30, 2009.
U.K. Credit Agreement
Our subsidiaries in the U.K. (the U.K. subsidiaries) are party to an agreement
with the Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as agent for National Westminster Bank plc, which
provides for a funded term loan, a revolving credit agreement and a seasonally adjusted
overdraft line of credit (collectively, the U.K. credit agreement) to be used to
finance acquisitions, working capital, and general corporate purposes. The U.K. credit
agreement provides for (1) up to £80.0 million in revolving loans through August 31,
2011, which bears interest between a defined LIBOR plus 1.0% and defined LIBOR plus 1.6%,
(2) a term loan originally funded for £30.0 million which bears interest between 6.29%
and 6.89% and is payable ratably in quarterly intervals until fully repaid on June 30,
2011, and (3) a seasonally adjusted overdraft line of credit for up to £20.0 million that
bears interest at the Bank of England Base Rate plus 1.75%, and matures on August 31,
2011.
36
The U.K. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and
several basis by our U.K. subsidiaries, and contains a number of significant covenants
that, among other things, restrict the ability of our U.K. subsidiaries to pay dividends,
dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, create liens
on assets, make investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. In
addition, our U.K. subsidiaries are required to comply with specified ratios and tests,
each as defined in the U.K. credit agreement, including: a ratio of earnings before
interest and taxes plus rental payments to interest plus rental payments (as defined), a
measurement of maximum capital expenditures, and a debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined). A
breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the agreement, the
most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of the amounts
owed. As of June 30, 2009, our U.K. subsidiaries were in compliance with all covenants
under the U.K. credit agreement and we believe they will remain in compliance with such
covenants for the next twelve months. In making such determination, we have considered
the current margin of compliance with the covenants and our expected future results of
operations, working capital requirements, acquisitions, capital expenditures and
investments in the U.K. However, in the event of continued weakness in the economy and
the automotive sector in particular, we may need to seek covenant relief. See Forward
Looking Statements.
The U.K. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change
of control and non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to other material
indebtedness of our U.K. subsidiaries. Substantially all of our U.K. subsidiaries assets
are subject to security interests granted to lenders under the U.K. credit agreement. As
of June 30, 2009, outstanding loans under the U.K. credit agreement amounted to £36.5
million ($60.0 million), including £14.1 million ($23.2 million) under the term loan.
7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes
In December 2006 we issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% senior
subordinated notes due 2016 (the 7.75% Notes). The 7.75% Notes are unsecured senior
subordinated notes and are subordinate to all existing and future senior debt, including
debt under our credit agreements, mortgages and floor plan indebtedness. The 7.75% Notes
are guaranteed by substantially all wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries on an unsecured
senior subordinated basis. Those guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and
several. We can redeem all or some of the 7.75% Notes at our option beginning in
December 2011 at specified redemption prices, or prior to December 2011 at 100% of the
principal amount of the notes plus an applicable make-whole premium, as defined. In
addition, we may redeem up to 40% of the 7.75% Notes at specified redemption prices using
the proceeds of certain equity offerings before December 15, 2009. Upon certain sales of
assets or specific kinds of changes of control, we are required to make an offer to
purchase the 7.75% Notes. The 7.75% Notes also contain customary negative covenants and
events of default. As of June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all negative covenants
and there were no events of default.
Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes
In January 2006, we issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% senior
subordinated convertible notes due 2026 (the Convertible Notes), of which $306.3
million are currently outstanding. The Convertible Notes mature on April 1, 2026, unless
earlier converted, redeemed or purchased by us, as discussed below. The Convertible Notes
are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and are subordinate to all future and
existing debt under our credit agreements, mortgages and floor plan indebtedness. The
Convertible Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by
substantially all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and
unconditional and joint and several. The Convertible Notes also contain customary
negative covenants and events of default. As of June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with
all negative covenants and there were no events of default.
Holders of the convertible notes may convert them based on a conversion rate of
42.7796 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes
(which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $23.38 per share), subject to
adjustment, only under the following circumstances: (1) in any quarterly period, if the
closing price of our common stock for twenty of the last thirty trading days in the prior
quarter exceeds $28.43 (subject to adjustment), (2) for specified periods, if the trading
price of the Convertible Notes falls below specific thresholds, (3) if the Convertible
Notes are called for redemption, (4) if specified distributions to holders of our common
stock are made or specified corporate transactions occur, (5) if a fundamental change (as
defined) occurs, or (6) during the ten trading days prior to, but excluding, the maturity
date.
Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, for each $1,000 principal amount of the
Convertible Notes, a holder will receive an amount in cash, in lieu of shares of our
common stock, equal to the lesser of (i) $1,000 or (ii) the conversion value, determined
in the manner set forth in the indenture covering the Convertible Notes, of the number of shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate. If the conversion value exceeds
$1,000, we will also deliver, at our election, cash, common stock or a combination of
cash and common stock with respect to the remaining value deliverable upon conversion.
In the event of a conversion due to a change of control on or before April 6, 2011,
we will, in certain circumstances, pay a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion
rate used in that conversion. In addition, we will pay additional cash interest
commencing with six-month periods beginning on April 1, 2011, if the average trading
price of a Convertible Note for certain periods in the prior six-month period equals 120%
or more of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes. On or after April 6,
2011, we may redeem the Convertible Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to
time, for cash at a redemption price of
100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any
accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date.
37
Holders of the Convertible Notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of
their Convertible Notes for cash on April 1, 2011, April 1, 2016 or April 1, 2021 at a
purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be
purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable purchase date.
Because of this feature, we currently expect to be required to redeem the Convertible
Notes in April 2011.
In March 2009, we repurchased $68.7 million principal amount of our outstanding
Convertible Notes, which had a book value of $62.8 million net of debt discount, for
$51.4 million. In connection with the transaction, we wrote off $5.9 million of
unamortized debt discount and $0.7 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, and
incurred $0.3 million of transaction costs. No element of the consideration was allocated
to the reacquisition of the equity component because the consideration paid was less than
the fair value of the liability component prior to extinguishment. As a result, we
recorded a $10.4 million pre-tax gain in connection with the repurchase.
Mortgage Facilities
We are party to a $42.4 million mortgage facility with respect to certain of our
dealership properties that matures on October 1, 2015. The facility bears interest at a
defined rate, requires monthly principal and interest payments, and includes the option
to extend the term for successive periods of five years up to a maximum term of
twenty-five years. In the event we exercise our options to extend the term, the interest
rate will be renegotiated at each renewal period. The mortgage facility also contains
typical events of default, including non-payment of obligations, cross-defaults to our
other material indebtedness, certain change of control events, and loss or sale of
certain franchises operated at the property. Substantially all of the buildings,
improvements, fixtures and personal property of the properties under the mortgage
facility are subject to security interests granted to the lender. As of June 30, 2009,
$41.8 million was outstanding under this facility.
Interest Rate Swaps
We use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with our variable
rate floor plan debt. We are party to interest rate swap agreements through January 7,
2011 pursuant to which the LIBOR portion of $300.0 million of our floating rate floor
plan debt was fixed at 3.67%. We may terminate this arrangement at any time, subject to
the settlement of the then current fair value of the swap arrangements. The swaps are
designated as cash flow hedges of future interest payments of LIBOR based U.S. floor plan
borrowings. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a
component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings when the hedged
transaction affects earnings.
As of June 30, 2009, we used Level 2 inputs to estimate the fair value of these
contracts to be a liability of $13.0 million, of which $9.3 million and $3.7 million are
recorded in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we
recognized a net gain of $1.5 million related to the interest rate swaps in accumulated
other comprehensive income, and reclassified $4.9 million of existing derivative losses
from accumulated other comprehensive income into floor plan interest expense in the
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. We expect approximately $9.3 million
associated with the swaps to be recognized as an increase of interest expense over the
next twelve months as the hedged interest payments become due. During the six months
ended June 30, 2009, the swaps increased the weighted average interest rate on floor plan
borrowings by approximately 0.3%.
Operating Leases
We have historically structured our operations so as to minimize our ownership of
real property. As a result, we lease or sublease substantially all of our facilities.
These leases are generally for a period between five and 20 years, and are typically
structured to include renewal options at our election. Pursuant to the leases for some of
our larger facilities, we are required to comply with specified financial ratios,
including a rent coverage ratio and a debt to EBITDA ratio, each as defined. For these
leases, non-compliance with the ratios may require us to post collateral in the form of a
letter of credit. A breach of our other lease covenants give rise to certain remedies by
the landlord, the most severe of which include the termination of the applicable lease
and an acceleration of the payments due under the lease.
Sale/Leaseback Arrangements
We have in the past and expect in the future to enter into sale-leaseback
transactions to finance certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant
to which we sell property and/or leasehold improvements to third parties and agree to
lease those assets back for a certain period of time. Such sales generate proceeds which
vary from period to period. In light of current market conditions, this financing option
has become more expensive and thus we may utilize these arrangements less in the near
term.
38
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Third Party Lease Obligations
We have sold a number of dealerships to third parties and, as a condition to
certain of those sales, remain liable for the lease payments relating to the
properties on which those franchises operate in the event of non-payment by the
buyer. In this event, we could be required to fulfill that buyers rent and other
obligations, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.8 million and $6.3 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The major components of these changes
are discussed below.
Cash Flows from Continuing Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $243.8 million and $183.8 million during
the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cash flows from operating
activities include net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, and the effects of changes
in working capital.
We finance substantially all of our new and a portion of our used vehicle
inventories under revolving floor plan notes payable with various lenders. We retain the
right to select which, if any, financing source to utilize in connection with the
procurement of vehicle inventories. Many vehicle manufacturers provide vehicle financing
for the dealers representing their brands, however, it is not a requirement that we
utilize this financing. Historically, our floor plan finance source has been based on
aggregate pricing considerations.
In accordance with general accounting principles relating to the statement of cash
flows, we report all cash flows arising in connection with floor plan notes payable with
the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle as an operating activity in our statement of
cash flows, and all cash flows arising in connection with floor plan notes payable to a
party other than the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle and all floor plan notes
payable relating to pre-owned vehicles as a financing activity in our statement of cash
flows. Currently, the majority of our non-trade vehicle financing is with other
manufacturer captive lenders. To date, we have not experienced any material limitation
with respect to the amount or availability of financing from any institution providing us
vehicle financing.
We believe that changes in aggregate floor plan liabilities are typically linked to
changes in vehicle inventory and, therefore, are an integral part of understanding
changes in our working capital and operating cash flow. As a result, we have presented
the following reconciliation of cash flow from operating activities as reported in our
condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as if all changes in vehicle floor plan
were classified as an operating activity for informational purposes:

Cash Flows from Continuing Investing Activities
Cash used in continuing investing activities was $43.2 million and $385.2 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cash flows from
investing activities consist primarily of cash used for capital expenditures, proceeds
from sale-leaseback transactions and net expenditures for dealership acquisitions and
other investments. Capital expenditures were $44.4 million and $115.7 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Capital expenditures relate
primarily to improvements to our existing dealership facilities and the construction of
new facilities. As of June 30, 2009, we do not have material commitments related to our
planned or ongoing capital projects. We currently expect to finance our capital
expenditures with operating cash flows or borrowings under our U.S. or U.K. credit
facilities. Proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions were $19.7 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2008. There were no sale-leaseback transactions during the six
months ended June 30, 2009. Cash used in acquisitions and other investments, net of cash
acquired, was $11.5 million and $68.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively, which includes cash used to repay sellers floor plan liabilities
in such business acquisitions of $5.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
The six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 include $12.7 million of proceeds from other
investing activities and $220.5 million cash used in other investing activities, which
includes $219.0 million for the purchase of the PTL limited partnership interest in June
2008, respectively.
39
Cash Flows from Continuing Financing Activities
Cash used in continuing financing activities was $188.2 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2009, and cash provided by continuing financing activities was
$178.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Cash flows from financing
activities include net borrowings or repayments of long-term debt, repurchases of
securities, net borrowings or repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade, payments
of deferred financing costs, proceeds from the issuance of common stock, including
proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and dividends. In June 2008 we borrowed
$219.0 million to finance the purchase of the PTL limited partnership interest. During
the six months ended June 30, 2009, we repaid $10.0 of our U.S. credit agreement term
loan. We had net repayments of other long-term debt of $47.8 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and net borrowings of other long-term debt of $0.5 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2008. In March 2009, we used $51.4 million to
repurchase $68.7 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.5% senior subordinated
convertible notes. We had net repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade of
$79.0 million and $24.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 we received proceeds of $0.8
million from the exercise of stock options. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 we
paid $17.1 million of cash dividends to our stockholders. No cash dividends were paid to
our stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations
Cash flows relating to discontinued operations are not currently, nor are they
expected to be, material to our liquidity or our capital resources. Management does not
believe that there are any significant past, present or upcoming cash transactions
relating to discontinued operations.
Related Party Transactions
Stockholders Agreement
Several of our directors and officers are affiliated with Penske Corporation or
related entities. Roger S. Penske, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer,
is also Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Penske Corporation, and
through entities affiliated with Penske Corporation, our largest stockholder owning
approximately 41% of our outstanding common stock. Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsui & Co.
(USA), Inc. (collectively, Mitsui) own approximately 17% of our outstanding common
stock. Mitsui, Penske Corporation and certain other affiliates of Penske Corporation are
parties to a stockholders agreement pursuant to which the Penske affiliated companies
agreed to vote their shares for one director who is a representative of Mitsui. In turn,
Mitsui agreed to vote their shares for up to fourteen directors voted for by the Penske
affiliated companies. This agreement terminates in March 2014, upon the mutual consent of
the parties, or when either party no longer owns any of our common stock.
Other Related Party Interests and Transactions
Roger S. Penske is also a managing member of Transportation Resource Partners, an
organization that undertakes investments in transportation-related industries. Richard J.
Peters, one of our directors, is a managing director of Transportation Resource Partners
and is a director of Penske Corporation. Lucio A. Noto (one of our directors) is an
investor in Transportation Resource Partners. One of our directors, Hiroshi Ishikawa,
serves as our Executive Vice President International Business Development and serves in
a similar capacity for Penske Corporation. Robert H. Kurnick, Jr., our President and a
director, is also the President and a director of Penske Corporation.
We sometimes pay to and/or receive fees from Penske Corporation, its subsidiaries,
and its affiliates for services rendered in the normal course of business, or to
reimburse payments made to third parties on each others behalf. These transactions are
reviewed periodically by our Audit Committee and reflect the providers cost or an amount
mutually agreed upon by both parties. We, Penske Corporation and certain
affiliates have also entered into a joint insurance agreement which provides that, with
respect to a joint crime insurance policy, available coverage with respect to a loss
shall be paid to each party per occurrence as stipulated in the policy.
We are a 9.0% limited partner of PTL, a leading global transportation services
provider. PTL operates and maintains more than 200,000 vehicles and serves customers in
North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Product lines include full-service
leasing, contract maintenance, commercial and consumer truck rental and logistics
services, including, transportation and distribution center management and supply chain
management. The general partner of PTL is Penske Truck Leasing Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Penske Corporation, which together with other wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Penske Corporation, owns 41.1% of PTL. The remaining 49.9% of PTL is
owned by GE Capital. Among other things, the partnership agreement provides us with
specified partner distribution and governance rights and restricts our ability to
transfer our interests.
We have also entered into other joint ventures with certain related parties as more
fully discussed below.

Joint Venture Relationships
From time to time, we enter into other joint venture relationships in the ordinary
course of business, through which we own and operate automotive dealerships together with
other investors. We may provide these dealerships with working capital and other debt
financing at costs that are based on our incremental borrowing rate. As of June 30, 2009,

Cyclicality
Unit sales of motor vehicles, particularly new vehicles, historically have been
cyclical, fluctuating with general economic cycles. During economic downturns, the
automotive retailing industry tends to experience periods of decline and recession
similar to those experienced by the general economy. We believe that the industry is
influenced by general economic conditions and particularly by consumer confidence, the
level of personal discretionary spending, fuel prices, interest rates and credit
availability.
Seasonality
Our business is modestly seasonal overall. Our U.S. operations generally experience
higher volumes of vehicle sales in the second and third quarters of each year due in part
to consumer buying trends and the introduction of new vehicle models. Also, vehicle
demand, and to a lesser extent demand for service and parts, is generally lower during
the winter months than in other seasons, particularly in regions of the U.S. where
dealerships may be subject to severe winters. Our U.K. operations generally experience
higher volumes of vehicle sales in the first and third quarters of each year, due
primarily to vehicle registration practices in the U.K.
Effects of Inflation
We believe that inflation rates over the last few years have not had a significant
impact on revenues or profitability. We do not expect inflation to have any near-term
material effects on the sale of our products and services, however, we cannot be sure
there will be no such effect in the future. We finance substantially all of our inventory
through various revolving floor plan arrangements with interest rates that vary based on
various benchmarks. Such rates have historically increased during periods of increasing
inflation.
Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which
generally can be identified by the use of terms such as may, will, should,

not assurances of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from
anticipated results due to a variety of factors, including the factors identified in our
2008 annual report on Form 10-K filed March 11, 2009 and elsewhere in this report.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our
expectations include the following:
|
|
|
our business and the automotive retail industry in general are susceptible to further or
continued adverse economic conditions, including changes in interest rates, foreign exchange
rates, consumer confidence, fuel prices and credit availability; |
|
|
|
|
our consummation of the acquisition of certain assets relating to the Saturn automotive brand,
if it occurs, will subject us to additional financing, operational and other risks whose
outcomes are uncertain; |
|
|
|
|
the ability of automobile manufacturers to exercise significant control over our operations,
since we depend on them in order to operate our business; |
|
|
|
|
because we depend on the success and popularity of the brands we sell, adverse conditions
affecting one or more automobile manufacturers may negatively impact our revenues and
profitability; |
|
|
|
|
the restructuring of the U.S. based automotive manufacturers may adversely affect our
operations, as well as the automotive sector as a whole; |
|
|
|
|
we may not be able to satisfy our capital requirements for acquisitions, dealership renovation
projects or financing the purchase of our inventory; |
|
|
|
|
our failure to meet a manufacturers consumer satisfaction requirements may adversely affect
our ability to acquire new dealerships, our ability to obtain incentive payments from
manufacturers and our profitability; |
|
|
|
|
although we typically purchase vehicles and parts in the local functional currency, changes in
foreign exchange rates may impact manufacturers, as many of the component parts of vehicles are
manufactured in foreign markets, which could lead to an increase in our costs which we may not
be able to pass on to the consumer; |
|
|
|
|
with respect to PTL, changes in tax, financial or regulatory rules or requirements, changes in
the financial health of PTLs customers, labor strikes or work stoppages, asset utilization
rates and industry competition; |
|
|
|
|
substantial competition in automotive sales and services may adversely affect our profitability; |
|
|
|
|
if we lose key personnel, especially our Chief Executive
Officer, or are unable to attract additional qualified
personnel, our business could be adversely affected; |
|
|
|
|
because most customers finance the cost of purchasing a
vehicle, increased interest rates or a reduction in credit
available to consumers may adversely affect our vehicle
sales; |
|
|
|
|
our business may be adversely affected by import product restrictions and foreign trade risks that may impair
our ability to sell foreign vehicles profitably; |
42
|
|
|
our automobile dealerships are subject to substantial regulation which may adversely affect our profitability; |
|
|
|
|
if state dealer laws in the United States are repealed or weakened, our automotive dealerships may be subject
to increased competition and may be more susceptible to termination, non-renewal or renegotiation of their
franchise agreements; |
|
|
|
|
non-compliance with the financial ratios and other covenants under our credit agreements and operating leases
may materially adversely affect us; |
|
|
|
|
the success of our smart distribution depends upon continued availability of the vehicle and customer demand
for that vehicle; |
|
|
|
|
our dealership operations may be affected by severe weather or other periodic business interruptions; |
|
|
|
|
our principal stockholders have substantial influence over us and may make decisions with which other
stockholders may disagree; |
|
|
|
|
some of our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest with respect to certain related party
transactions and other business interests; |
|
|
|
|
our level of indebtedness may limit our ability to obtain financing for acquisitions and may require that a
significant portion of our cash flow be used for debt service; |
|
|
|
|
we may be involved in legal proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on our business; |
|
|
|
|
our operations outside of the U.S. subject our profitability to fluctuations relating to changes in foreign
currency valuations; and |
|
|
|
|
we are a holding company and, as a result, must rely on the receipt of payments from our subsidiaries, which
are subject to limitations, in order to meet our cash needs and service our indebtedness. |
In addition:
|
|
|
the price of our common stock is subject to substantial
fluctuation, which may be unrelated to our performance;
and |
|
|
|
|
shares eligible for future sale, or issuable under the
terms of our convertible notes, may cause the market price
of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our
business is doing well. |
We urge you to carefully consider these risk factors in evaluating all
forward-looking statements regarding our business. Readers of this report are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by this
cautionary statement. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws and
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, we have no intention or
obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. |
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Interest Rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in the interest rates on
a significant portion of our outstanding debt. Outstanding revolving balances under our
credit agreements bear interest at variable rates based on a margin over defined LIBOR or
the Bank of England Base Rate. Based on the amount outstanding under these facilities as
of June 30, 2009, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an
approximate $2.4 million change to our annual other interest expense. Similarly, amounts
outstanding under floor plan financing arrangements bear interest at a variable rate
based on a margin over the prime rate, defined LIBOR or the Euro Interbank offer Rate. We
are currently party to swap agreements pursuant to which a notional $300.0 million of our
floating rate floor plan debt was exchanged for fixed rate debt through January 2011.
Based on an average of the aggregate amounts outstanding under our floor plan financing
arrangements subject to variable interest payments during the trailing twelve months
ended June 30, 2009, adjusted to exclude the notional value of the swap agreements, a 100
basis point change in interest rates would result in an approximate $11.0 million change
to our annual floor plan interest expense.
43
We evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and follow established
policies and procedures to implement strategies designed to manage the amount of variable
rate indebtedness outstanding at any point in time in an effort to mitigate the effect of
interest rate fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. These policies include:
|
|
|
the maintenance of our overall debt portfolio with targeted fixed and
variable rate components; |
|
|
|
|
the use of authorized derivative instruments; |
|
|
|
|
the prohibition of using derivatives for trading or other speculative
purposes; and |
|
|
|
|
the prohibition of highly leveraged derivatives or derivatives for which
we are unable to reliably estimate a fair value or obtain a market quotation. |
Interest rate fluctuations affect the fair market value of our fixed rate debt,
including our swaps, the 7.75% Notes, the Convertible Notes, mortgages and certain seller
financed promissory notes, but, with respect to such fixed rate debt instruments, do not
impact our earnings or cash flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. As of June 30, 2009, we had dealership operations
in the U.K. and Germany. In each of these markets, the local currency is the functional
currency. Due to our intent to remain permanently invested in these foreign markets, we
do not hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. In the event we change our intent
with respect to the investment in any of our international operations, we would expect to
implement strategies designed to manage those risks in an effort to mitigate the effect
of foreign currency fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. A ten percent change in
average exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar would have resulted in an approximate
$160.6 million change to our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
In common with other automotive retailers, we purchase certain of our new vehicle
and parts inventories from foreign manufacturers. Although we purchase the majority of
our inventories in the local functional currency, our business is subject to certain
risks, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political
climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions and foreign
exchange rate volatility which may influence such manufacturers ability to provide their
products at competitive prices in the local jurisdictions. Our future results could be
materially and adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.
|
|
|
Item 4. |
|
Controls and Procedures |
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the
principal executive and financial officers, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal
executive and financial officers, to allow timely discussions regarding required
disclosure.
Based upon this evaluation, the Companys principal executive and financial officers
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the
period covered by this report. In addition, we maintain internal controls designed to
provide us with the information required for accounting and financial reporting purposes.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the most recent quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
|
|
|
Item 1. |
|
Legal Proceedings |
From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising in the
normal course of business. Such claims may relate to claims brought by governmental
authorities, issues with customers, and employment related matters, and includes class
action claims and purported class action claims. As of June 30, 2009, we are not a party
to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits that, individually or in the
aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters
cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these
matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.
44
The following is a risk factor that should be considered in addition to those set
forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December
31, 2008.
We have entered a memorandum of understanding to purchase certain assets relating to the
Saturn automotive brand. Our consummation of that transaction, if it occurs, will
subject us to additional financing, operational and other risks whose outcomes are
currently uncertain.
We have entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with General
Motors regarding the potential acquisition of certain assets relating to the Saturn
automotive brand. Pursuant to the MOU, we would obtain the rights to the Saturn
automotive brand, acquire certain assets including Saturn parts inventory, and have the
right to distribute vehicles and parts through the Saturn dealership network. We do not
intend to enter the manufacturing business nor does this transaction contemplate us
purchasing any of the existing Saturn retailer network. If consummated, we anticipate
offering existing Saturn retailers a new sales and service agreement. General Motors
would continue to provide Saturn Aura, Vue and Outlook vehicles, on a contract basis, for
an interim period. Any closing of the transaction is subject to satisfactory completion
of due diligence, regulatory and other approvals.
If this transaction is ultimately consummated, the distribution of a large number of
vehicles and parts will involve developing and successfully transitioning or implementing
new processes and strategies not currently used in our current operations. In connection
with this effort, our senior management has devoted substantial time and effort and we
expect to hire a team of employees. The costs and profit potential of this new business
is currently uncertain. If our efforts to profitably distribute these vehicles and parts
are not successful, or we incur unforeseen costs, our results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows may be materially adversely affected.
Additional potential risks relating to this transaction include, among others that
we may not currently foresee, limited customer demand for the Saturn vehicles, supply
disruption or lack of availability of sufficient quantities of vehicles, an inability to
procure future vehicles to distribute through the Saturn dealership network after the
interim period in which General Motors will provide vehicles, and the cost and terms of
any potential debt or equity financing we may undertake in connection with capitalizing
this new business, each of which could materially adversely affect our results of
operations, financial condition or cash flows.
