FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE: AN), America's largest automotive retailer, today reported 2010 third quarter net income from continuing operations of $59 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $64 million, or $0.36 per share, for the same period in the prior year, an 8% improvement on a per-share basis.

AutoNation's 2010 third quarter revenue totaled $3.3 billion, compared to $2.9 billion in the year-ago period, an increase of 13%, driven primarily by stronger new and used retail vehicle revenue which increased 15%. Based on CNW Research data, in the third quarter, total U.S. industry new retail vehicle unit sales decreased 4%. AutoNation's new vehicle unit sales, on a same store basis, increased 1%.

AutoNation's 2010 third quarter used retail vehicle revenue increased 31% compared to the year-ago period, as retail unit sales increased 25%. Parts and service revenue increased 6% and finance and insurance revenue increased 18% compared to the third quarter 2009.

Mike Jackson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We delivered strong performance in the third quarter, which was driven by both new and used vehicle unit sales and revenue. We continue to expect full year industry new vehicle unit sales to be in the range of 11.5 million new units."

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 third quarter were as follows:

Domestic - Domestic segment income (1) was $43 million compared to year-ago segment income of $33 million. Third quarter Domestic retail new vehicle unit sales increased 15%. We had a solid performance from our domestic stores, especially Ford and Chevrolet.

Import - Import segment income was $51 million compared to year-ago segment income of $63 million. Third quarter Import retail new vehicle unit sales decreased 3%.

Premium Luxury - Premium Luxury segment income was $48 million compared to year-ago segment income of $44 million. Third quarter Premium Luxury retail new vehicle unit sales increased 3%.


(1) Segment income is defined as operating income less floorplan interest expense.

AutoNation also announced that it was awarded seven Fiat franchises and will be the biggest Fiat dealer in the U.S. with locations in California, Colorado, Arizona, Washington State, Virginia and Georgia.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company reported adjusted net income from continuing operations of $179 million or $1.11 per share compared to $154 million or $0.87 per share for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income from continuing operations excludes debt refinancing costs of $12 million after-tax, or $0.07 per share, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, and a net benefit of $17 million after-tax, or $0.10 per share, primarily related to a net gain on asset sales and a gain on senior note repurchases, for the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, net income from continuing operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 was $167 million or $1.04 per share compared to $171 million or $0.96 per share for the prior year period.
