Note: Operations are subject to seasonal variations. The first quarter generally contributes less operating profits than the second, third and fourth quarters. Parts and service demand remains more stable throughout the year. Amounts presented may differ from amounts previously reported on Form 10-Q due to the classification of certain franchises in discontinued and continuing operations in accordance with “Presentation of Financial Statements” in the ASC (see Note 2).

 

(1) Results are for continuing operations.

 

(2) Results include both continuing operations and discontinued operations.

 

(3) The sum of net income per common share for the quarters may not equal the full year amount due to weighted average common shares being calculated on a quarterly versus annual basis.

Net income in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 includes lease adjustments and other charges of approximately $6.8 million.

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 includes loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $2.6 million.
