DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2024-- Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: ABG) (the “Company”), one of the largest automotive retail and service companies in the U.S., reported second quarter 2024 net income of $28 million ($1.39 per diluted share), a decrease of 86% from $196 million ($9.34 per diluted share) in second quarter 2023. Second quarter 2024 adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, decreased 31% year-over-year to $129 million ($6.40 per diluted share) compared to adjusted net income of $188 million ($8.95 per diluted share) in second quarter 2023.

“I am proud of our team members rising up to meet an unprecedented challenge for our business and our industry” said David Hult, Asbury’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our results were impacted by the CDK cyber incident, both from lost business and one-time expenses related to the outage and recovery of the systems that service most of our stores. We partially mitigated the disruption by facilitating retail sales through Clicklane, where we sold 15,201 cars in the quarter, an all-time record and 33% over last year. As we move into the third quarter, I am grateful for the innovative thinking and collaborative spirit of our team members, and their relentless dedication to delivering the most guest-centric experience in automotive retailing.”

The financial measures discussed below include both GAAP and adjusted (non-GAAP) financial measures. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure and Reconciliation, Same Store Data and Other Data” and the reconciliations for non-GAAP metrics used herein.

Adjusted net income for second quarter 2024 excludes, net of tax, $101.3 million of non-cash asset impairments ($5.02 per diluted share), gain on divestitures of $2.7 million ($0.13 per diluted share), and losses related to hail damage of $2.3 million ($0.11 per diluted share).

Adjusted net income for second quarter 2023 excludes, net of tax, gain on divestiture of $10.2 million ($0.48 per diluted share), gain on legal settlement of $1.4 million ($0.07 per diluted share) and losses related to hail damage of $3.2 million ($0.15 per diluted share).

CDK Global Outage Impact

During June, one of the Company’s vendors (CDK Global) experienced a cyber incident impacting certain services provided to the Company and many other automotive retailers, including the Company’s sales, service, inventory, customer relationship management, and accounting functions. Upon discovery of the incident, we took immediate precautionary steps to protect our systems. We currently estimate the earnings per share for the quarter were negatively impacted between $0.95 and $1.15 per diluted share, without taking into account any potential recoveries related to the incident. Estimated impacts included both internal projections of lost or deferred income and one-time expenses related to the outage and recovery.

Liquidity and Leverage

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and floorplan offset accounts of $464 million (which excludes $15 million of cash at Total Care Auto, Powered by Landcar) and availability under the used vehicle floorplan line and revolver of $342 million for a total of $806 million in liquidity. The Company’s adjusted net leverage ratio, which is calculated as set forth in our credit facility, was 2.7x at quarter end.

Share Repurchases

The Company repurchased approximately 193,000 shares for $43 million during the second quarter 2024. Year-to-date through August 1, 2024, the Company has repurchased approximately 592,000 shares for $130 million. On May 15, 2024, the Company announced its board of directors approved an increase in the authorization of the share repurchase plan for the Company, expanding the remaining availability to repurchase up to $400 million. As of August 1, 2024, the Company had approximately $329 million remaining on its share repurchase authorization.

The shares may be purchased from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in other manners as permitted by federal securities laws and other legal and contractual requirements. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchase will depend on such factors as Asbury’s stock price, general economic and market conditions, the potential impact on its capital structure, the expected return on competing uses of capital such as strategic dealership acquisitions and capital investments and other considerations. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without further notice.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical fact, and may include statements relating to goals, plans, objectives, projections regarding Asbury's financial position, liquidity, results of operations, cash flows, leverage, market position, the completion of the Company’s investigation into the CDK incident, the ultimate results of CDK’s and the Company’s containment and remediation efforts, the timing of the restoration of full access to the affected systems and changes in customer sentiment due to the incident, the timing and amount of any stock repurchases, and dealership portfolio, revenue enhancement strategies, operational improvements, projections regarding the expected benefits of Clicklane, management’s plans, projections and objectives for future operations, scale and performance, integration plans and expected synergies from acquisitions, capital allocation strategy, business strategy. These statements are based on management's current expectations and beliefs and involve significant risks and uncertainties that may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, our inability to realize the benefits expected from recently completed transactions; our inability to promptly and effectively integrate completed transactions and the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business and regular business responsibilities; our inability to complete future acquisitions or divestitures and the risks resulting therefrom; any supply chain disruptions impacting our industry and business, market factors, Asbury's relationships with, and the financial and operational stability of, vehicle manufacturers and other suppliers, acts of God, acts of war or other incidents and the shortage of semiconductor chips and other components, which may adversely impact supply from vehicle manufacturers and/or present retail sales challenges; risks associated with Asbury's indebtedness and our ability to comply with applicable covenants in our various financing agreements, or to obtain waivers of these covenants as necessary; risks related to competition in the automotive retail and service industries, general economic conditions both nationally and locally, governmental regulations, legislation, including changes in automotive state franchise laws, adverse results in litigation and other proceedings, and Asbury's ability to execute its strategic and operational strategies and initiatives, including its five-year strategic plan, Asbury's ability to leverage gains from its dealership portfolio, Asbury's ability to capitalize on opportunities to repurchase its debt and equity securities or purchase properties that it currently leases, and Asbury's ability to stay within its targeted range for capital expenditures. There can be no guarantees that Asbury's plans for future operations will be successfully implemented or that they will prove to be commercially successful.

These and other risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements are and will be discussed in Asbury's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including its most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements and such risks, uncertainties and other factors speak only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure and Reconciliation, Same Store Data and Other Data

In addition to evaluating the financial condition and results of our operations in accordance with GAAP, from time to time management evaluates and analyzes results and any impact on the Company of strategic decisions and actions relating to, among other things, cost reduction, growth, and profitability improvement initiatives, and other events outside of normal, or "core," business and operations, by considering certain alternative financial measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures include "Adjusted income from operations," "Adjusted net income," "Adjusted operating margins," "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted diluted earnings per share ("EPS")," "Adjusted SG&A, " "Adjusted operating cash flow" and "Pro forma adjusted leverage ratio." Further, management assesses the organic growth of our revenue and gross profit on a same store basis. We believe that our assessment on a same store basis represents an important indicator of comparative financial performance and provides relevant information to assess our performance at our existing locations. Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under GAAP and may be defined differently by and not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures considered and evaluated by management are reviewed in conjunction with a review of the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management cautions investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. In their evaluation of results from time to time, management excludes items that do not arise directly from core operations or are otherwise of an unusual or non-recurring nature. Because these non-core, unusual or non-recurring charges and gains materially affect Asbury's financial condition or results in the specific period in which they are recognized, management also evaluates, and makes resource allocation and performance evaluation decisions based on, the related non-GAAP measures excluding such items. In addition to using such non-GAAP measures to evaluate results in a specific period, management believes that such measures may provide more complete and consistent comparisons of operational performance on a period-over-period historical basis and a better indication of expected future trends. Management discloses these non-GAAP measures, and the related reconciliations, because it believes investors use these metrics in evaluating longer-term period-over-period performance, and to allow investors to better understand and evaluate the information used by management to assess operating performance.

Same store amounts consist of information from dealerships for identical months in each comparative period, commencing with the first month we owned the dealership. Additionally, amounts related to divested dealerships are excluded from each comparative period.

Amounts presented herein have been calculated using non-rounded amounts for all periods presented and therefore certain amounts may not compute or tie to prior presentation due to rounding.
