Fourth quarter 2009 revenue totaled $2.8 billion, compared to $2.6 billion in the year-ago period, an 8% increase, driven primarily by stronger new vehicle unit sales which increased 7%. In the fourth quarter, total U.S. industry new vehicle retail unit sales increased 6%, based on CNW Research data.
Commenting on the fourth quarter, Mike Jackson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We delivered solid profitability in the fourth quarter, achieved our first year-over-year increase in new vehicle unit sales since the second quarter of 2005, and maintained the benefits of our actions taken in response to the economic downturn. By lowering our structural costs and debt levels and more efficiently managing our inventory, we were able to deliver solid EPS growth in a very difficult environment."
AutoNation has three operating segments: Domestic, Import, and Premium Luxury. The Domestic segment is comprised of stores that sell vehicles manufactured by General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler; the Import segment is comprised of stores that sell vehicles manufactured primarily by Toyota, Honda, and Nissan; and the Premium Luxury segment is comprised of stores that sell vehicles manufactured primarily by Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus. Segment results for the fourth quarter were as follows:
- Domestic - Domestic segment income (1) was $26 million compared to year-ago segment income of $16 million. Fourth quarter Domestic retail new vehicle unit sales increased 6%.
- Import - Import segment income was $41 million compared to year-ago segment income of $21 million. Fourth quarter Import retail new vehicle unit sales increased 8%.
- Premium Luxury - Premium Luxury segment income was $48 million compared to year-ago segment income of $39 million. Fourth quarter Premium Luxury retail new vehicle unit sales increased 8%.
(1) Segment income is defined as operating income less floorplan interest expense.
For the full year ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported GAAP net income from continuing operations of $234 million or $1.32 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $1.2 billion or $6.82 per share for the prior year. After adjusting for certain items (including the goodwill and franchise rights impairment charges recorded in the prior year) as disclosed in the attached financial tables, adjusted net income from continuing operations for the full year ended December 31, 2009 was $204 million or $1.15 per share, compared to $180 million or $1.01 per share for the prior year. The Company's revenue for the full year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $10.8 billion, down 20% compared to $13.4 billion in the prior year.
Jackson also stated, "We responded to the dramatic decline in industry volumes, the Chrysler and GM bankruptcies, the credit crisis and staggering unemployment and delivered a full-year adjusted EPS increase of 14%. We are optimistic for the long-term prospects of the auto industry based on the successful restructuring of the domestic auto industry, the move to a demand-pull system and the rationalization of the dealer network. "We agree with the view that volumes will be higher this year. Our planning assumption for 2010 industry new unit sales is 11.5 million units with a gradual increase in the selling rate over the course of the year."
