Asbury Automotive Group Reports First Quarter Financial Results
Total Revenues up 17% over the prior period
SG&A as a percentage of gross profit improved 370 basis points over the prior year period
Diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.27, compared to $0.08 in the prior year period
DULUTH, Ga., April 29, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: ABG), one of the largest automotive retail and service companies in the U.S., today reported income from continuing operations for the first quarter, 2010 of $8.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, versus income from continuing operations of $2.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the corresponding period last year. The increase was primarily the result of double digit growth in revenue and gross profit from new and used vehicle sales, as well as finance and insurance; combined with Asbury’s significantly improved cost structure. Net income for the first quarter of 2010 totaled $7.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared with $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, a year ago.
2010 first quarter revenues totaled $960 million, an increase of 17% compared to the prior year period. This improvement was driven by increases of 22% in new vehicle revenue, 21% in used vehicle revenue, and 27% in finance and insurance revenues. Total gross profit increased 12%, and was up in all major categories of the business.
“Pent-up demand combined with the return of aggressive manufacturer incentives delivered a blow-out March,” said Charles R. Oglesby, Asbury’s President and CEO. “Our improved operating leverage from the cost reduction initiatives we have implemented has positioned Asbury to capture more profit from the rising tide of consumer demand.”
Craig T. Monaghan, Asbury’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, “With over $200 million of liquidity, we have strengthened our financial position and enhanced our financial flexibility for the future."
Mr. Oglesby concluded, "While we are pleased with delivering a strong quarter, our challenge is to retain as much of our lean cost structure as possible, while remaining focused on the incremental sales opportunities the strengthening marketplace is providing."
Asbury will host a conference call to discuss its first quarter results this morning at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The call will be simulcast live on the Internet and can be accessed by logging on to http://www.asburyauto.com or http://www.ccbn.com.

Supplemental Disclosures
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
Our operations during 2009 were impacted by certain items that are not core dealership operating items, which we believe are important to highlight when reviewing our results and should not be considered when forecasting our future results.
The non-core items shown in the table below include (i) restructuring costs consisting primarily of severance and retention expenses related to the relocation of our corporate headquarters, (ii) implementation costs associated with transitioning our dealerships to the Arkona dealer management system, and, (iii) a legal settlements benefit related to legal claims arising in, and before, the year 2003.
