2011 Highlights – New retail volume outpaces industry; Record Used Vehicle Growth; Expense leverage continues
| • | Total Q4 revenues up 12% over prior year quarter; Up 14% for full year |
| • | New vehicle retail volume up 15% in Q4; Exceeds industry growth of 10% |
| • | Used vehicle volume up 11% for the quarter; Up 14% for full year; Record annual sales volume |
| • | Parts and Service revenue up 3% in Q4; Up 5% for full year; Record sales volume |
| • | Adjusted SG&A to gross profit down 220 bps to 76.6% for the quarter |
Commenting on the overall results, Jeff Dyke, the Company’s EVP of Operations noted, “Our new and used volume growth continues to exceed industry averages as our team implements our operating playbook strategy. Our team’s focus on used car processes has produced double-digit volume growth for 11 consecutive quarters. This translates into a 15% compound annual growth rate over the last 4 years. We continue to believe there are significant future growth opportunities throughout the business as we continue the implementation of our strategic initiatives. The top line growth continued to drive incremental gross profit dollars which allowed us to further leverage our expense structure with fourth quarter adjusted SG&A to gross profit coming in at 76.6% which is the lowest level in several years.”
2012 Outlook
Commenting on the fourth quarter and the 2012 outlook, B. Scott Smith, the Company’s President, said, “Sonic Automotive wrapped up one of the strongest years in our Company’s history. We have proven that our single-minded focus on delivering predictable, repeatable and sustainable processes through our Playbooks, coupled with our culture and plain, old-fashioned teamwork can produce superior results without the integration risk of acquisitions. We expect to see continued steady growth in the automotive retailing sector and are targeting 2012 new vehicle industry volume of 13.5 million units. We currently expect earnings per share from continuing operations of between $1.55 and $1.65 for the full year 2012. We will have further comments on our 2012 outlook on our earnings call later today.”
