HOUSTON, July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Group 1 Automotive, Inc. (NYSE: GPI), an international, Fortune 500 automotive retailer, today reported second quarter 2016 net income of $46.6 million, diluted earnings per common share of $2.12, adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) of $47.4 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per common share (a non-GAAP measure) of $2.16.

As shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation tables below, the 2016 second quarter adjusted results exclude approximately $830 thousand of net after-tax adjustments, or $0.04 per share, for non-core items, which primarily consists of hail and flood-related expenses of approximately $1.7 million after-tax, or $0.08 per share; a non-cash asset impairment charge for certain leasehold improvements of approximately $633 thousand after-tax, or $0.03 per share; and partially offset by a deferred income tax benefit within our Brazil segment of approximately $1.7 million, or $0.08 per share.

"While U.S. industry sales growth moderated during the quarter, improved margins and continued growth of our parts and service and finance and insurance businesses delivered top-line revenue growth of 3.8 percent on a local currency basis, and an all-time record for diluted earnings per share," said Earl J. Hesterberg, Group 1's president and chief executive officer. "Additionally, given the ongoing value represented by our recent stock price, we continued our share repurchase program, buying approximately 1.7 million common shares since the end of March 2016."

Segment Results for Second Quarter 2016 (year-over-year comparable basis)







    --  United States:The Company's U.S. operations accounted for 79.3 percent
        of total revenues and 84.0 percent of total gross profit. Total U.S.
        revenues were $2.2 billion, a decrease of 3.5 percent, due to a 10.0
        percent decrease in retail new vehicle unit sales, as well as a slight
        decrease of 1.6 percent in finance and insurance revenue, driven by the
        decline in retail unit sales. While new vehicle sales volume contracted,
        new vehicle gross profit per unit sold grew $246, or 15.3 percent per
        unit, to $1,857. This margin performance delivered a new vehicle gross
        profit growth of 3.7 percent. On a GAAP basis, SG&A expenses as a
        percent of gross profit increased 110 basis points to 71.2 percent and
        operating margin was flat at 4.0 percent. Adjusted SG&A expenses as a
        percent of gross profit increased 50 basis points to 70.3 percent and
        adjusted operating margin was flat at 4.1 percent.





    --  United Kingdom:The Company's U.K. operations accounted for 16.8 percent
        of total revenues and 13.3 percent of total gross profit. Total U.K.
        revenues increased 51.8 percent (62.1 percent) to $467.8 million, and
        gross profit increased 60.2 percent (71.5 percent) to $54.3 million.
        Revenue growth was primarily driven by 66.1 percent (77.7 percent)
        growth in F&I, 63.5 percent (74.7 percent) growth in new vehicles, and
        58.5 percent (69.3 percent) growth in parts and service. On a local
        currency basis, Same Store revenue increased 9.4 percent, reflecting
        increases in all areas of the business.On a Same Store GAAP basis, SG&A
        expenses as a percent of gross profit improved 280 basis points to 75.8
        percent and operating margin grew 40 basis points to 2.4 percent. On a
        Same Store basis, adjusted SG&A expenses as a percent of gross profit
        improved 220 basis points to 75.8 percent and adjusted operating margin
        grew 30 basis points to 2.4 percent.

    --  Brazil:The Company's Brazilian operations accounted for 3.9 percent of
        total revenues and 2.7 percent of total gross profit. Despite Brazil's
        new vehicle industry decline of 22 percent from second quarter 2015, the
        Company's total revenue, on a Same Store local currency basis, was only
        down 4.1 percent. Significant revenue growth of 12.8 percent in used
        retail, 7.1 percent in parts and service, and 30.1 percent in F&I mostly
        offset the decline in new vehicle sales.

As previously announced, in April 2016, the Company acquired two franchises in Brazil, which include BMW and Toyota, and also began operations at the Land Rover and Jaguar open point that was awarded last year. These acquisitions are expected to generate $20 million in estimated annual revenues.

Also as previously announced, in April 2016, the Company disposed of one Peugeot franchise in Brazil. In June 2016, the disposition of the last remaining Peugeot store within the Company's portfolio was completed. These franchises represented approximately $15 million of annual revenues.
