The new vehicle retail unit sales increase of 14.5% in the fourth quarter 2012 over the prior year quarter outpaced the industry growth of 11.1%. Coupled with growth in all other areas of our business, we generated over $20 million more gross profit in Q4 2012 than in Q4 2011. As a result of this increase and cost reductions in other areas, we were able to increase our net income from continuing operations 13.2% from the prior year quarter adjusted total. We would like to thank our customers, our manufacturer partners, and our associates for working together to help us achieve this performance.”
2013 Outlook
Commenting on the fourth quarter and the 2013 outlook, B. Scott Smith, the Company’s President, noted, “Our work continued in the fourth quarter to improve our operations, our capital structure, and increase shareholder value through a combination of operational execution and share repurchases. Looking into 2013, we believe we can continue to build on the momentum generated last year to offer our customers an exceptional and unique buying experience and build customer loyalty. Although we still hold fast to our guiding strategic initiative to improve our base business, we believe we are now positioned to take advantage of open point and acquisition opportunities and will explore these avenues in 2013. We expect the automotive retailing sector to continue to grow in 2013 and are anticipating 2013 new vehicle industry volume of between 15.0 million units and 15.5 million units. We currently expect earnings per share from continuing operations of between $1.93 and $2.03 for the full year 2013. We will have additional comments on our 2013 outlook in our earnings call later today.”
