PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Interim Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The following unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Penske
Automotive Group, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and
disclosures normally included in the Companys annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The information presented
as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments which the
management of the Company believes to be necessary for the fair presentation of results
for the periods presented. The consolidated condensed financial statements for prior
periods have been revised for entities which have been treated as discontinued operations
through September 30, 2008. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year. These consolidated condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2007, which are included as part of the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
On June 26, 2008, we acquired a 9% limited partnership interest in Penske Truck
Leasing Co., L.P., a leading global transportation services provider, in exchange for
$219 million. PTL operates and maintains more than 200,000 vehicles and serves customers
in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Product lines include full-service
leasing, contract maintenance, commercial and consumer truck rental and logistics
services, including transportation and distribution center management and supply chain
management.
Discontinued Operations
The Company accounts for dispositions as discontinued operations when it is evident
that the operations and cash flows of a franchise being disposed of will be eliminated
from the Companys on-going operations and that the Company will not have any significant
continuing involvement in its operations. In reaching the determination as to whether the
cash flows of a dealership will be eliminated from ongoing operations, the Company
considers whether it is likely that customers will migrate to similar franchises that it
owns in the same geographic market. The Companys consideration includes an evaluation of
the brands sold at other dealerships it operates in the market and their proximity to the
disposed dealership. When the Company disposes of franchises, it typically does not have
continuing brand representation in that market. If the franchise being disposed of is
located in a complex of Company dealerships, the Company does not treat the disposition
as a discontinued operation if the Company believes that the cash flows generated by the
disposed franchise will be replaced by expanded operations of the remaining franchises.
Combined financial information regarding dealerships accounted for as discontinued
operations follows:

Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The accounts requiring the use of significant
estimates include accounts receivable, inventories, income taxes, intangible assets and
certain reserves.
Intangible Assets
The Companys principal intangible assets relate to its franchise agreements with
vehicle manufacturers, which represent the estimated value of franchises acquired in
business combinations, and goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair
value of tangible and identified intangible assets acquired in connection with business
combinations. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The
Company believes the franchise value of its dealerships have an indefinite useful life
based on the following facts:
|
|
|
Automotive retailing is a mature industry and is based on franchise agreements with the vehicle manufacturers; |
|
|
|
|
There are no known changes or events that would alter the automotive retailing franchise environment; |
|
|
|
|
Certain franchise agreement terms are indefinite; |
|
|
|
|
Franchise agreements that have limited terms have historically been renewed by us without substantial cost; and |
|
|
|
|
The Companys history shows that manufacturers have not terminated our franchise agreements. |
The following is a summary of the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill and
franchise value for the nine months ended September 30, 2008:

As of September 30, 2008, approximately $789,664 of the Companys goodwill is
deductible for tax purposes. The Company has established deferred tax liabilities related
to the temporary differences arising from such tax deductible goodwill.

New Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosure requirements relating to fair value measurements. The FASB provided a one year
deferral of the provisions of this pronouncement for non-financial assets and
liabilities, however, the relevant provisions of SFAS 157 required by SFAS 159 were
adopted as of January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 thus becomes effective for the Companys
non-financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2009. The Company continues to
evaluate the impact of this pronouncement on our non-financial assets and liabilities,
including but not limited to, the valuation of our reporting units for the purpose of
assessing goodwill impairment, the valuation of our franchise agreements in connection
with assessing franchise value impairments, the valuation of property and equipment in
connection with assessing long-lived asset impairment, the valuation of liabilities in
connection with exit or disposal activities, and the valuation of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in business combinations.
SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 permits entities to choose to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and consequently report
unrealized gains and losses on such items in earnings. The Company did not elect the fair
value option with respect to any of its current financial assets or financial liabilities
when the provisions of this statement became effective on January 1, 2008. As a result,
there was no impact upon adoption.
SFAS No. 141(R) Business Combinations requires almost all assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in business combinations to be recorded at fair value as of the
acquisition date, liabilities related to contingent consideration to be remeasured at
fair value in each subsequent reporting period, and all acquisition related costs to be
expensed as incurred. The pronouncement also clarifies the accounting under various
scenarios such as step purchases or situations in which the fair value of assets and
liabilities acquired exceeds the consideration. SFAS 141(R) will be effective for the
Company on January 1, 2009.
SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an
Amendment of ARB No. 51 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary must be
measured at fair value and classified as a separate component of equity. This
pronouncement also outlines the accounting for changes in a parents ownership in a
subsidiary. SFAS 160 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and will
require the Company to reclassify its minority interest liabilities to shareholders
equity for the Companys non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries.
SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities to explain why and how an entity uses
derivative instruments, how the hedged items are accounted for under the relevant
literature and how the derivative instruments affect an entitys financial position,
financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 will be effective for the Company on
January 1, 2009. This pronouncement will have no impact on the Companys accounting, and
the Company is currently evaluating the pronouncements additional disclosure
requirements.
FASB Staff Position (FSP) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments
That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) requires
the issuer of a convertible debt instrument that may be settled in cash upon conversion,
including partial cash settlement, to separately account for the debt and equity
components of the instrument. The value to be ascribed to the debt portion of the
instrument is determined using a fair value methodology, with the residual representing
the equity component. The equity component will be recorded as an increase in
stockholders equity, with the debt discount being amortized as additional interest
expense over the expected life of the instrument. FSP APB 14-1 will be effective for our
fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009, and requires retrospective application to all
periods presented. The Company will apply this guidance to the accounting for its 3.5%
Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2026 (the Notes), which the Company issued in
January 2006. It is expected that the Company will assign approximately $70 million to
the equity component as of the Notes issuance date. In addition, interest expense will be
restated for all periods presented, with an increase of approximately $15 million
expected for the year ended December 31, 2009. Due to the prepayment features included
within the Notes, the recording of incremental interest expense will be completed in
April 2011.

4. Floor Plan Notes Payable Trade and Non-trade
The Company finances the majority of its new and a portion of its used vehicle
inventories under revolving floor plan arrangements with various lenders. In the U.S.,
the floor plan arrangements are due on demand; however, the Company is generally not
required to repay floor plan advances prior to the sale of the vehicles that have been
financed. The Company typically makes monthly interest payments on the amount financed.
Outside the U.S., substantially all of the floor plan arrangements are payable on demand
or have an original maturity of 90 days or less and the Company is generally required to
repay floor plan advances at the earlier of the sale of the vehicles that have been
financed or the stated maturity. All of the floor plan agreements grant a security
interest in substantially all of the assets of the Companys dealership subsidiaries and
in the U.S. are guaranteed by the Company. Interest rates under the floor plan
arrangements are variable and increase or decrease based on changes in various
benchmarks. The Company classifies floor plan notes payable to a party other than the
manufacturer of a particular new vehicle, and all floor plan notes payable relating to
used vehicles, as floor plan notes payable non-trade on its consolidated condensed
balance sheets and classifies related cash flows as a financing activity on its
consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.
5. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed using net income and weighted average shares of
voting common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using net income
and the weighted average shares of voting common stock outstanding, adjusted for the
dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock. A reconciliation of the number of
shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 follows:

which, under certain circumstances discussed in Note 6, may be converted to voting common
stock. As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, no shares related to the senior subordinated
convertible notes were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because
the effect of such securities was not dilutive.

U.S. Credit Agreement
The Company is party to a $479,000 credit agreement with DCFS USA LLC and Toyota
Motor Credit Corporation, as amended (the U.S. Credit Agreement), which provides for up
to $250,000 in revolving loans for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures,
investments and for other general corporate purposes, a $219,000 non-amortizing term loan
and for an additional $10,000 of availability for letters of credit, through
September 30, 2010. Pursuant to the evergreen provisions of the credit agreement, the
term of the credit agreement was extended on September 10, 2008, by one year through
September 30, 2011. The revolving loans bear interest at defined LIBOR plus 1.75%,
subject to an incremental 0.50% for uncollateralized borrowings in excess of a defined
borrowing base. The term loan, which bears interest at defined LIBOR plus 2.50%, may be
prepaid at any time, but then may not be reborrowed.
On September 29, 2008, the Company amended the U.S. Credit Agreement to provide
greater flexibility to enter into the mortgage facility referenced below under Mortgage
Facilities. On October 30, 2008, the Company amended and restated the U.S. Credit
Agreement (the Amended U.S. Credit Agreement) to incorporate the prior six amendments,
eliminate the ratio of domestic debt to domestic earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) covenant and the minimum stockholders equity
covenant, change the financial ratio on the debt to EBITDA covenant from 2.75 to 2.5,
provide for additional flexibility for incremental real estate mortgage borrowings, and make other changes designed
to provide additional operating flexibility.
The Amended U.S. Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint
and several basis by the Companys domestic subsidiaries and contains a number of
significant covenants that, among other things, restrict the Companys ability to dispose
of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, pay dividends, create
liens on assets, make investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or
consolidations. The Company is also required to comply with specified financial and other
tests and ratios, each as defined in the Amended U.S. Credit Agreement, including: a
ratio of current assets to current liabilities, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a ratio of
debt to stockholders equity and a ratio of debt to EBITDA. A breach of these
requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the agreement, the most severe of
which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of the amounts owed. As of
September 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the U.S.
Credit Agreement.
The Amended U.S. Credit Agreement also contains typical events of default, including
change of control, non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to the Companys other
material indebtedness. Substantially all of the Companys domestic assets are subject to
security interests granted to lenders under the Amended U.S. Credit Agreement. As of
September 30, 2008, $219,000 of term loans and $500 of letters of credit were outstanding
under this facility. No revolving loans were outstanding as of September 30, 2008.
U.K. Credit Agreement
On September 29, 2008, the Companys subsidiaries in the U.K. (the U.K.
Subsidiaries) amended their existing £130,000 multi-option credit agreement with the
Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as agent for National Westminster Bank plc, to provide
greater flexibility within the financial covenants and increase the borrowing rate paid
under the facility. This facility consists of a funded term loan, a revolving credit
agreement and a seasonally adjusted overdraft line of credit (collectively, the U.K.
Credit Agreement) to be used to finance acquisitions, working capital, and general
corporate purposes. The amended U.K. Credit Agreement provides for (1) up to £80,000 in
revolving loans through August 31, 2011, which bears interest between defined LIBOR plus
1.0% and defined LIBOR plus 1.6%, (2) a £30,000 funded term loan which currently bears
interest between 6.29% and 6.89% and is payable ratably in quarterly intervals until
fully repaid on June 30, 2011, and (3) a seasonally adjusted overdraft line of credit for
up to £20,000 that bears interest at the Bank of England Base Rate plus 1.75%, and
matures on August 31, 2011.

PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The U.K. Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and
several basis by the U.K. Subsidiaries, and contains a number of significant covenants
that, among other things, restrict the ability of the U.K. Subsidiaries to pay dividends,
dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, create liens
on assets, make investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. In
addition, the U.K. Subsidiaries are required to comply with specified ratios and tests,
each as defined in the U.K. Credit Agreement, including: a ratio of earnings before
interest and taxes plus rental payments to interest plus rental payments (as defined), a
measurement of maximum capital expenditures, and a debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined). A
breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the agreement, the
most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of the amounts
owed. As of September 30, 2008, the U.K. subsidiaries were in compliance with all
covenants under the U.K. Credit Agreement.
The U.K. Credit Agreement also contains typical events of default, including change
of control and non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to other material
indebtedness of the U.K. Subsidiaries. Substantially all of the U.K. Subsidiaries assets
are subject to security interests granted to lenders under the U.K. Credit Agreement. As
of September 30, 2008, outstanding loans under the U.K. Credit Agreement amounted to
£46,412 ($82,511).
7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes
On December 7, 2006, the Company issued $375,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.75%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the 7.75% Notes). The 7.75% Notes are unsecured
senior subordinated notes and are subordinate to all existing and future senior debt,
including debt under the Companys credit agreements and floor plan indebtedness. The
7.75% Notes are guaranteed by substantially all wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries on an
unsecured senior subordinated basis. Those guarantees are full and unconditional and
joint and several. The Company can redeem all or some of the 7.75% Notes at its option
beginning in December 2011 at specified redemption prices, or prior to December 2011 at
100% of the principal amount of the notes plus an applicable make-whole premium, as
defined. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the 7.75% Notes at specified
redemption prices using the proceeds of certain equity offerings before December 15,
2009. Upon certain sales of assets or specific kinds of changes of control, the Company
is required to make an offer to purchase the 7.75% Notes. The 7.75% Notes also contain
customary negative covenants and events of default. As of September 30, 2008, the Company
was in compliance with all negative covenants and there were no events of default.
Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes
On January 31, 2006, the Company issued $375,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.50%
senior subordinated convertible notes due 2026 (the Convertible Notes). The Convertible
Notes mature on April 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or purchased by the
Company, as discussed below. The Convertible Notes are unsecured senior subordinated
obligations and are subordinate to all future and existing debt under the Companys
credit agreements and floor plan indebtedness. The convertible notes are guaranteed on an
unsecured senior subordinated basis by substantially all of the Companys wholly-owned
domestic subsidiaries. Those guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.
The Convertible Notes also contain customary negative covenants and events of default. As
of September 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all negative covenants and
there were no events of default.
Holders of the convertible notes may convert them based on a conversion rate of
42.2052 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes
(which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $23.69 per share), subject to
adjustment, only under the following circumstances: (1) in any quarterly period, if the
closing price of the common stock for twenty of the last thirty trading days in the prior
quarter exceeds $28.43 (subject to adjustment), (2) for specified periods, if the trading
price of the Convertible Notes falls below specific thresholds, (3) if the Convertible
Notes are called for redemption, (4) if specified distributions to holders of common
stock are made or specified corporate transactions occur, (5) if a fundamental change (as
defined) occurs, or (6) during the ten trading days prior to, but excluding, the maturity
date.
Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, for each $1,000 principal amount of the
Convertible Notes, a holder will receive an amount in cash, in lieu of shares of the
Companys common stock, equal to the lesser of (i) $1,000 or (ii) the conversion value,
determined in the manner set forth in the related indenture covering the Convertible
Notes, of the number of shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate. If the
conversion value exceeds $1,000, the Company will also deliver, at its election, cash,
common stock or a combination of cash and common stock with respect to the remaining
value deliverable upon conversion.
13
PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In the event of a change of control on or before April 6, 2011, the Company will, in
certain circumstances, pay a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate used in
that conversion. In addition, the Company will pay additional cash interest, commencing
with six-month periods beginning on April 1, 2011, if the average trading price of a
Convertible Note for certain periods in the prior six-month period equals 120% or more of
the principal amount of the Convertible Notes.
On or after April 6, 2011, the Company may redeem the Convertible Notes, in whole at
any time or in part from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of 100% of the
principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid
interest to the applicable redemption date. Holders of the Convertible Notes may require
the Company to purchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes for cash on each of
April 1, 2011, April 1, 2016 or April 1, 2021 at a purchase price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the applicable purchase date.
Mortgage Facilities
On September 29, 2008, the Company entered into a $42,400, seven year mortgage
facility with Toyota Motor Credit Corporation with respect to certain of our dealership
properties. The facility bears interest at a defined rate, requires monthly principal
and interest payments, and includes the option to extend the term for successive periods
of five years up to a maximum term of twenty-five years. In the event the Company
exercises its option to extend the term, the interest rate will be renegotiated for each
renewal period.
The mortgage facility contains typical events of default, including non-payment of
obligations, cross-defaults to the Companys other material indebtedness, certain change
of control events, and loss or sale of certain franchises operated at the property.
Substantially all of the buildings, improvements, fixtures and personal property of the
properties under the mortgage facility are subject to security interests granted to the
lender. As of September 30, 2008, $32,900 was outstanding under the mortgage facility.
The Company expects to draw the remainder of the facility upon the completion of the
dealership facilities and other funding requirements.
9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes
In March 2007, the Company redeemed its $300,000 aggregate principal amount of
9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the 9.625% Notes) at a price of 104.813%.
The 9.625% Notes were unsecured senior subordinated notes and were subordinate to all
existing senior debt, including debt under the Companys credit agreements and floor plan
indebtedness. The Company incurred an $18,634 pre-tax charge in connection with the
redemption, consisting of a $14,439 redemption premium and the write-off of $4,195 of
unamortized deferred financing costs.
7. Stockholders Equity
Share Repurchase
In 2007, the Companys board of directors approved a stock repurchase program for up to
$150,000 of outstanding common stock. During August, 2008, the Company repurchased 3.6 million
shares of our outstanding common stock for $50,061, or $14.04 per share.

8. Interest Rate Swaps
The Company is party to interest rate swap agreements through January 7, 2011
pursuant to which the LIBOR portion of $300,000 of the Companys floating rate floor plan
debt was fixed at 3.67%. We may terminate these arrangements at any time subject to the
settlement of the then current fair value of the swap arrangements. The swaps are
designated as cash flow hedges of future interest payments of LIBOR based U.S. floor plan
borrowings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the swaps increased the
weighted average interest rate on floor plan borrowings by approximately 0.1%. As of
September 30, 2008, the Company used Level 2 inputs as described under SFAS 157 to
estimate the fair value of these contracts to be a $2,666 liability, and expects
approximately $1,733 associated with the swaps to be recognized as an increase of
interest expense over the next twelve months.
The Company was party to an interest rate swap agreement which expired in January
2008, pursuant to which a notional $200,000 of its U.S. floating rate debt was exchanged
for fixed rate debt. The swap was designated as a cash flow hedge of future interest
payments of the LIBOR based U.S. floor plan borrowings.
9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company is involved in litigation which may relate to issues with customers,
employment related matters, class action claims, purported class action claims, and
claims brought by governmental authorities. As of September 30, 2008, the Company is not
party to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits, that, individually or in
the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Companys
results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these
matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more
of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of
operations, financial condition or cash flows. See MD&A -Forward Looking Statements.
The Company was party to a joint venture agreement with respect to one of the
Companys franchises pursuant to which the Company was required to repurchase its
partners interest. The Company completed this repurchase on July 23, 2008 with a payment
of $5.1 million.
The Company leases the majority of its dealership facilities and corporate offices
under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with expirations through 2062, including
all option periods available to the Company. The Companys lease arrangements typically
allow for a base term with options for extension in the Companys favor and include
escalation clauses tied to the Consumer Price Index.

10. Segment Information
The Company has two reportable operating segments as defined in SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information: (i) Retail,
consisting of our automotive retail operations, and (ii) Distribution, consisting of our
distribution of the smart fortwo vehicle, parts and accessories in the U.S. and Puerto
Rico. The Companys operations are organized by management by line of business and
geography. The Retail segment includes all automotive dealerships, regardless of
geography, and includes all departments relevant to the operation of the dealerships. We
believe the dealership operations included in the Retail segment are one reportable
segment as their operations (A) have similar economic characteristics (all are automotive
dealerships having similar margins), (B) offer similar products and services (all sell
new and used vehicles, service, parts and third-party finance and insurance products),
(C) have similar target markets and customers (generally individuals) and (D) have
similar distribution and marketing practices (all distribute products and services
through dealership facilities that market to customers in similar fashions). The
accounting policies of both segments are the same and are described in Note 1.
The following table summarizes revenues and income from continuing operations before
certain non-recurring items, income taxes and minority interest, which is the measure by
which management allocates resources to its segments and which we refer to as adjusted
segment income, for each of our reportable segments. Adjusted segment income excludes the
item discussed below in order to enhance the comparability of segment income from period
to period.

PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
11. Consolidating Condensed Financial Information
The following tables include consolidating condensed financial information as of
September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007 for Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (as the issuer of the
Convertible Notes and the 7.75% Notes), guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor
subsidiaries (primarily representing foreign entities). The condensed consolidating
financial information includes certain allocations of balance sheet, income statement and
cash flow items which are not necessarily indicative of the financial position, results
of operations or cash flows of these entities on a stand-alone basis. The 2007
consolidating condensed financial statements have been restated for an immaterial error
relating to the presentation of long-term debt.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in Forward Looking
Statements. We have acquired a number of dealerships since inception. Our financial
statements include the results of operations of acquired dealerships from the date of
acquisition. In addition, this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations has been updated for the effects of revising our
financial statements for entities which have been treated as discontinued operations
through September 30, 2008 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Overview
We are the second largest automotive retailer headquartered in the United States as
measured by total revenues. As of September 30, 2008, we owned and operated 160
franchises in the United States and 147 franchises outside of the United States,
primarily in the United Kingdom. We offer a full range of vehicle brands with 95% of our
total revenue in 2008 generated from non-U.S. brands and with sales relating to premium
brands, such as Audi, BMW, Cadillac and Porsche, representing 64% of our total revenue.
Each of our dealerships offers a wide selection of new and used vehicles for sale. In
addition to selling new and used vehicles, we generate higher-margin revenue at each of
our dealerships through maintenance and repair services and the sale and placement of
higher-margin products, such as third party finance and insurance products, third-party
extended service contracts and replacement and aftermarket automotive products.
New and used vehicle revenues include sales to retail customers and to leasing
companies providing consumer automobile leasing. We generate finance and insurance
revenues from sales of third-party extended service contracts, sales of third-party
insurance policies, fees for facilitating the sale of third-party finance and lease
contracts and the sale of certain other products. Service and parts revenues include fees
paid for repair, maintenance and collision services, and the sale of replacement parts
and the sale of aftermarket accessories.
We are, through smart USA Distributor, LLC (smart USA), a wholly-owned subsidiary,
the exclusive distributor of the smart fortwo vehicle in United States and Puerto Rico.
The smart fortwo is manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars and is a Daimler brand. This
technologically advanced vehicle achieves 40-plus miles per gallon on the highway and is
an ultra-low emissions vehicle as certified by the California Air Resources Board. Though
launched in the United States in 2008, more than 1,000,000 fortwo vehicles have
previously been sold outside the U.S. smart USA has certified a network of 73 smart
dealerships in 35 states, of which eight are owned and operated by us. The smart fortwo
currently offers three different versions, the pure, passion coupe and passion cabriolet
with base prices ranging from $11,600 to $16,600. For the 2009 model year, we will add
two additional versions, the BRABUS coupe and BRABUS cabriolet with expected base prices
ranging from $17,990 to $21,000. We currently expect to distribute approximately 27,000
smart fortwo vehicles in 2008.
On June 26, 2008, we acquired a 9% limited partnership interest in Penske Truck
Leasing Co., L.P. (PTL), a leading global transportation services provider, from
subsidiaries of General Electric Capital Corporation (collectively, GE Capital) in
exchange for $219.0 million. PTL operates and maintains more than 200,000 vehicles and
serves customers in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Product lines include
full-service leasing, contract maintenance, commercial and consumer truck rental and
logistics services, including, transportation and distribution center management and
supply chain management. The general partner is Penske Truck Leasing Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Penske Corporation, which together with other wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Penske Corporation, owns 40% of PTL. The remaining 51% of PTL is owned by
GE Capital.

We and Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (Sirius) have agreed to jointly promote Sirius
Satellite Radio service. Pursuant to the terms of our arrangement with Sirius, our
dealerships in the United States endeavor to order a significant percentage of eligible
vehicles with a factory installed Sirius radio. We and Sirius have also agreed to jointly
market the Sirius service under a best efforts arrangement through January 4, 2009. Our
costs relating to such marketing initiatives are expensed as incurred. As compensation
for our efforts, we received warrants to purchase ten million shares of Sirius common
stock at $2.392 per share in 2004 that are being earned ratably on an annual basis
through January 2009. We measure the fair value of the warrants earned ratably on the
date they are earned as there are no significant disincentives for non-performance. Since
we can reasonably estimate the number of warrants that will be earned pursuant to the
ratable schedule, the estimated fair value (based on current fair value) of these
warrants is recognized ratably during each annual period. We also had the right to earn
additional warrants to purchase Sirius common stock at $2.392 per share based upon the
sale of certain units of specified brands through December 31, 2007. We earned 166,400 of
these warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The value of Sirius stock
was $0.57 per share on September 30, 2008 and has been and is expected to be subject to
significant fluctuations, which may result in variability in the amount we earn under
this arrangement. The warrants may be cancelled upon the termination of our arrangement
and our rights to exercise any vested warrants expire July 5, 2009.
Our gross profit varies with the mix of revenues we derive from the sale of new
vehicles, used vehicles, finance and insurance products, and service and parts. Our gross
profit varies across product lines, with vehicle sales usually resulting in lower gross
profit margins and our other revenues resulting in higher gross profit margins. Factors
such as customer demand, general economic conditions, seasonality, weather, credit
availability, fuel prices and manufacturers advertising and incentives may impact the
mix of our revenues, and therefore influence our gross profit margin.
Our selling expenses consist of advertising and compensation for sales personnel,
including commissions and related bonuses. General and administrative expenses include
compensation for administration, finance, legal and general management personnel, rent,
insurance, utilities and other outside services. We believe a significant portion of our
selling expenses are variable, and a significant portion of our general and
administrative expenses are subject to our control, allowing us to adjust them over time
to reflect economic trends.
Floor plan interest expense relates to financing obligations incurred in connection
with the acquisition of new and used vehicle inventories which is secured by those
vehicles. Other interest expense consists of interest charges on all of our
interest-bearing debt, other than interest relating to floor plan financing.
Equity in earnings of affiliates represents our share of the earnings from
investments in various joint ventures and other non-consolidated investments, notably
PTL.
The future success of our business will likely be dependent on, among other things,
general economic and industry conditions, our ability to consummate and integrate
acquisitions, our ability to increase sales of higher margin products, especially service
and parts services, our ability to realize returns on our significant capital investment
in new and upgraded dealerships, the success of our distribution of the smart fortwo, and
the return realized from our investments in various joint ventures and other
non-consolidated investments, notably PTL. See Forward-Looking Statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires the application of accounting
policies that often involve making estimates and employing judgments. Such judgments
influence the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses recognized in our financial
statements. Management, on an ongoing basis, reviews these estimates and assumptions.
Management may determine that modifications in assumptions and estimates are required,
which may result in a material change in our results of operations or financial position.
The following are the accounting policies applied in the preparation of our
financial statements that management believes are most dependent upon the use of
estimates and assumptions.
26
Revenue Recognition
Vehicle, Parts and Service Sales
We record revenue when vehicles are delivered and title has passed to the customer,
when vehicle service or repair work is performed and when parts are delivered to our
customers. Sales promotions that we offer to customers are accounted for as a reduction
of revenues at the time of sale. Rebates and other incentives offered directly to us by
manufacturers are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales. Reimbursement of qualified
advertising expenses are treated as a reduction of selling, general and administrative
expenses. The amounts received under various manufacturer rebate and incentive programs
are based on the attainment of program objectives, and such earnings are recognized
either upon the sale of the vehicle for which the award was received, or upon attainment
of the particular program goals if not associated with individual vehicles. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we earned $260.4 million and
$261.5 million, respectively, of rebates, incentives and reimbursements from
manufacturers, of which $254.4 million and $256.4 million was recorded as a reduction of
cost of sales.
Finance and Insurance Sales
Subsequent to the sale of a vehicle to a customer, we sell our installment sale
contracts to various financial institutions on a non-recourse basis (with specified
exceptions) to mitigate the risk of default. We receive a commission from the lender
equal to either the difference between the interest rate charged to the customer and the
interest rate set by the financing institution or a flat fee. We also receive commissions
for facilitating the sale of various third-party insurance products to customers,
including credit and life insurance policies and extended service contracts. These
commissions are recorded as revenue at the time the customer enters into the contract. In
the case of finance contracts, a customer may prepay or fail to pay their contract,
thereby terminating the contract. Customers may also terminate extended service contracts
and other insurance products, which are fully paid at purchase, and become eligible for
refunds of unused premiums. In these circumstances, a portion of the commissions we
received may be charged back to us based on the terms of the contracts. The revenue we
record relating to these transactions is net of an estimate of the amount of chargebacks
we will be required to pay. Our estimate is based upon our historical experience with
similar contracts, including the impact of refinance and default rates on retail finance
contracts and cancellation rates on extended service contracts and other insurance
products. Aggregate reserves relating to chargeback activity were $19.2 million and
$19.4 million as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Changes in
reserve estimates relate primarily to a decrease in the amount of revenues subject to
chargeback.
Intangible Assets
Our principal intangible assets relate to our franchise agreements with vehicle
manufacturers, which represent the estimated value of franchises acquired in business
combinations, and goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of
tangible and identified intangible assets acquired in business combinations. We believe
the franchise value of our dealerships have an indefinite useful life based on the
following facts:
|
|
|
Automotive retailing is a mature industry and is based on franchise agreements with the vehicle manufacturers; |
|
|
|
|
There are no known changes or events that would alter the automotive retailing franchise environment; |
|
|
|
|
Certain franchise agreement terms are indefinite; |
|
|
|
|
Franchise agreements that have limited terms have historically been renewed by us without substantial cost; and |
|
|
|
|
Our history shows that manufacturers have not terminated our franchise agreements. |
Impairment Testing
Franchise value impairment is assessed as of October 1 every year through a
comparison of the carrying amounts of our franchises with their estimated fair values. An
indicator of impairment exists if the carrying value of a franchise exceeds its estimated
fair value and an impairment loss may be recognized equal to that excess. We also
evaluate our franchises in connection with the annual impairment testing to determine
whether events and circumstances continue to support our assessment that the franchise
has an indefinite life.
27
Goodwill impairment is assessed at the reporting unit level as of October 1 every
year and upon the occurrence of an indicator of impairment. An indicator of impairment
exists if the carrying amount of the reporting unit including goodwill is determined to
exceed its estimated fair value. If an indication of impairment exists, the impairment is
measured by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the
carrying amount of that goodwill, and an impairment loss may be recognized equal to that
excess.
The fair values of franchise value and goodwill are determined using a discounted
cash flow approach, which includes assumptions that include revenue and profitability
growth, franchise profit margins, residual values and our cost of capital. If future
events and circumstances cause significant changes in the assumptions underlying our
analysis and result in a reduction of our estimates of fair value, we may incur an
impairment charge.
Investments
Investments include marketable securities and investments in businesses accounted
for under the equity method. A majority of our investments are in joint venture
relationships that are more fully described in Joint Venture Relationships below. Such
joint venture relationships are accounted for under the equity method, pursuant to which
we record our proportionate share of the joint ventures income each period. On June 26,
2008, we acquired the 9% limited partnership interest in PTL for $219 million.
The net book value of our investments was $297.6 million and $64.4 million as of
September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Investments for which there is
not a liquid, actively traded market are reviewed periodically by management for
indicators of impairment. If an indicator of impairment was identified, management would
estimate the fair value of the investment using a discounted cash flow approach, which
would include assumptions relating to revenue and profitability growth, profit margins,
residual values and our cost of capital. Declines in investment values that are deemed to
be other than temporary may result in an impairment charge reducing the investments
carrying value to fair value. During 2007, we recorded an adjustment to the carrying
value of our investment in Internet Brands to recognize an other than temporary
impairment of $3.4 million which became apparent upon their initial public offering.
Investments in marketable securities held by us are typically classified as
available for sale and are stated at fair value on our balance sheet with unrealized
gains and losses included in other comprehensive income, a separate component of
stockholders equity. Declines in investment values that are deemed to be other than
temporary would be an indicator of impairment and may result in an impairment charge
reducing the investments carrying value to fair value.
Self-Insurance
We retain risk relating to certain of our general liability insurance, workers
compensation insurance, auto physical damage insurance, property insurance, employment
practices liability insurance, directors and officers insurance and employee medical
benefits. As a result, we are likely to be responsible for a majority of the claims and
losses incurred under these programs. The amount of risk we retain varies by program,
and, for certain exposures, we have pre-determined maximum loss limits for certain
individual claims and/or insurance periods. Losses, if any, above the pre-determined loss
limits are paid by third-party insurance carriers. Our estimate of future losses is
prepared by management using our historical loss experience and industry-based
development factors. Aggregate reserves relating to retained risk were $20.7 million and
$12.8 million as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Changes in the reserve
estimate during 2008 relate primarily to reserves for current year activity and changes
in loss experience in our historical employee medical, general liability and workers
compensation programs.
Income Taxes
Tax regulations may require items to be included in our tax return at different
times than the items are reflected in our financial statements. Some of these differences
are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible on our tax return, and some are
timing differences, such as the timing of depreciation expense. Timing differences create
deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that
will be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax return in future years which we have
already recorded in our financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities generally
represent deductions taken on our tax return that have not yet been recognized as expense
in our financial statements. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax
assets if the amount of expected future taxable income is not likely to allow for the use
of the deduction or credit. A valuation allowance of $2.5 million has been recorded as of
September 30, 2008 relating to net operating losses and credit carryforwards in the U.S.
based on our determination that it is more likely than not that they will not be
utilized.
28
Classification of Franchises in Continuing and Discontinued Operations
We classify the results of our operations in our consolidated financial statements
based on the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
which requires judgment in determining whether a franchise will be reported within
continuing or discontinued operations. Such judgments include whether a franchise will be
divested, the period required to complete the divestiture, and the likelihood of changes
to the divestiture plans. If we determine that a franchise should be either reclassified
from continuing operations to discontinued operations or from discontinued operations to
continuing operations, our consolidated financial statements for prior periods are
revised to reflect such reclassification.
New Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosure requirements relating to fair value measurements. The FASB provided a one year
deferral of the provisions of this pronouncement for non-financial assets and
liabilities, however, the relevant provisions of SFAS 157 required by SFAS 159 were
adopted as of January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 thus becomes effective for our non-financial
assets and liabilities on January 1, 2009. We continue to evaluate the impact of this
pronouncement on our non-financial assets and liabilities, including but not limited to,
the valuation of our reporting units for the purpose of assessing goodwill impairment,
the valuation of our franchise agreements in connection with assessing franchise value
impairments, the valuation of property and equipment in connection with assessing
long-lived asset impairment, the valuation of liabilities in connection with exit or
disposal activities, and the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
business combinations.
SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 permits entities to choose to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and consequently report
unrealized gains and losses on such items in earnings. We did not elect the fair value
option with respect to any of our current financial assets or financial liabilities when
the provisions of this statement became effective on January 1, 2008. As a result, there
was no impact upon adoption.
SFAS No. 141(R) Business Combinations requires almost all assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in business combinations to be recorded at fair value as of the
acquisition date, liabilities related to contingent consideration to be remeasured at
fair value in each subsequent reporting period, and all acquisition related costs to be
expensed as incurred. The pronouncement also clarifies the accounting under various
scenarios such as step purchases or situations in which the fair value of assets and
liabilities acquired exceeds the consideration. SFAS 141(R) will be effective for us on
January 1, 2009.
SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an
Amendment of ARB No. 51 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary must be
measured at fair value and classified as a separate component of equity. This
pronouncement also outlines the accounting for changes in a parents ownership in a
subsidiary. SFAS 160 will be effective for us on January 1, 2009 and will require us to
reclassify our minority interest liabilities to shareholders equity for the Companys
non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries.
SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities to explain why and how an entity uses
derivative instruments, how the hedged items are accounted for under the relevant
literature and how the derivative instruments affect an entitys financial position,
financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 will be effective for us on January 1,
2009. This pronouncement will have no impact on our accounting, and we are currently
evaluating the pronouncements additional disclosure requirements.
FASB Staff Position (FSP) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments
That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) requires
the issuer of a convertible debt instrument that may be settled in cash upon conversion,
including partial cash settlement, to separately account for the debt and equity
components of the instrument. The value to be ascribed to the debt portion of the
instrument is determined using a fair value methodology, with the residual representing
the equity component. The equity component will be recorded as an increase in
stockholders equity, with the debt discount being amortized as additional interest
expense over the expected life of the instrument. FSP APB 14-1 will be effective for our
fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009, and requires retrospective application to all
periods presented. We will apply this guidance to the accounting for our 3.5% Senior
Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2026 (the Notes), which we issued in January 2006.
We expect to assign approximately $70 million to the equity component as of the Notes
issuance date. In addition, interest expense will be restated for all periods presented,
with an increase of approximately $15 million expected for the year ended December 31,
2009. Due to the prepayment features included within the Notes, the recording of
incremental interest expense will be completed in April 2011.

Results of Operations
The following tables present comparative financial data relating to our operating
performance in the aggregate and on a same store basis. Dealership results are only
included in same store comparisons when we have consolidated the acquired entity during
the entirety of both periods being compared. As an example, if a dealership was acquired
on January 15, 2006, the results of the acquired entity would be included in annual same
store comparisons beginning with the year ended December 31, 2008 and in quarterly same
store comparisons beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30,
2007 (dollars in millions, except per unit amounts)
Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2008 include charges of $4.3
million ($2.7 million after-tax), or $0.03 per share, relating to severance costs, costs
associated with the termination of an acquisition agreement and insurance deductibles
relating to damage sustained in the Houston market during Hurricane Ike.
Our results in the third quarter of 2008 were significantly impacted by a difficult
operating environment for the automotive retail industry. We believe declining consumer
confidence in the wake of an unstable financial market has resulted in a significant
reduction in consumer traffic at our retail locations, particularly in the month of
September.

Units
Retail data includes retail new vehicle, retail used vehicle, finance and insurance
and service and parts transactions. Retail unit sales of vehicles decreased by 6,989 or
8.9%, from 2007 to 2008. The decrease is due to a 10,315, or 13.2%, decrease in same
store retail unit sales, offset by 3,326 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions
during the period. The decrease in same store retail unit sales was driven primarily by
decreases in new retail units sales at our premium brand stores in the U.S. and U.K.,
volume foreign and domestic brand stores in the U.S. and used retail unit sales at our
premium brand stores in the U.K. and volume foreign brand stores in the U.S., which was
somewhat offset by increases in used retail unit sales at our premium brand stores in the
U.S. We believe these decreases were largely due to reduced consumer traffic resulting
from declining consumer confidence brought about by instability in the financial markets
in the markets we serve.
Revenues
Retail sales revenue decreased $393.8 million, or 12.7%, from 2007 to 2008. The
decrease is due to a $526.0 million, or 17.0%, decrease in same store revenues, offset by
a $132.2 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same store retail revenue
decrease is due to (1) the 13.2% decrease in retail unit sales, which decreased revenue
by $375.1 million, (2) a $3,852, or 12.6%, decrease in average used vehicle revenue per
unit, which decreased revenue by $97.8 million, (3) a $953, or 2.7%, decrease in average
new vehicle revenue per unit, which decreased revenue by $40.7 million, (4) a $10.1
million, or 2.9%, decrease in service and parts revenues, and (5) the $34, or 3.4%,
decrease in the average finance and insurance revenue per unit, which decreased revenue
by $2.3 million.
30
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit decreased $48.1 million, or 9.7%, from 2007 to 2008. The
decrease is due to a $67.7 million, or 13.7%, decrease in same store retail gross profit,
offset by a $19.6 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same store
retail gross profit decrease is due to (1) the 13.2% decrease in retail unit sales, which
decreased retail gross profit by $41.2 million, (2) a $454, or 18.6%, decrease in average
gross profit per used vehicle retailed, which decreased retail gross profit by
$11.6 million, (3) a $204, or 6.8%, decrease in average gross profit per new vehicle
retailed, which decreased retail gross profit by $8.7 million, (4) a $3.9 million, or
2.0%, decrease in service and parts gross profit, and (5) a $34, or 3.4%, decrease in
average finance and insurance revenue per unit, which decreased retail gross profit by
$2.3 million.

Units
Retail unit sales of new vehicles decreased 7,752 units, or 14.6%, from 2007 to
2008. The decrease is due a 10,190 unit, or 19.3%, decrease in same store retail unit
sales during the period, somewhat offset by a 2,438 unit increase from net dealership
acquisitions. The same store decrease was due primarily to unit sales decreases in our
premium brand stores in the U.S. and U.K. and volume foreign and domestic brand stores in
the U.S. We believe these decreases were largely due to reduced consumer traffic
resulting from declining consumer confidence brought about by instability in the
financial markets in the markets we serve.
Revenues
New vehicle retail sales revenue decreased $326.8 million, or 17.4%, from 2007 to
2008. The decrease is due to a $401.7 million, or 21.4%, decrease in same store revenues,
somewhat offset by a $74.9 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same
store revenue decrease is due primarily to the 19.3% decrease in retail unit sales, which
reduced revenue by $361.0 million, coupled with the $953, or 2.7%, decrease in average
selling prices per unit, which decreased revenue by $40.7 million.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from new vehicle sales decreased $32.1 million, or 20.1%, from
2007 to 2008. The decrease is due to a $39.4 million, or 24.8%, decrease in same store
gross profit, somewhat offset by a $7.3 million increase from net dealership
acquisitions. The same store decrease is due primarily to the 19.3% decrease in retail
unit sales, which reduced gross profit by $30.7 million, coupled with the $204, or 6.8%,
decrease in the average gross profit per new vehicle retailed, which decreased gross
profit by $8.7 million.

Units
Retail unit sales of used vehicles increased 763 units, or 3.0%, from 2007 to 2008.
The increase is due to an 888 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions, somewhat
offset by a 125 unit, or 0.5%, decrease in same store retail unit sales. The same store
decrease was due primarily to unit sales decreases in our premium brand stores in the
U.K. and volume foreign brand stores in the U.S., somewhat offset by increases in unit
sales at our premium brand stores in the U.S. We believe these decreases were largely due
to reduced consumer traffic resulting from declining consumer confidence brought about by
instability in the financial markets in the markets we serve.
Revenues
Used vehicle retail sales revenue decreased $64.5 million, or 8.2%, from 2007 to
2008. The decrease is due to a $101.7 million, or 13.0%, decrease in same store revenues,
somewhat offset by a $37.2 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The same
store revenue decrease is due to the $3,852, or 12.6% decrease in comparative average
selling prices per vehicle, which decreased revenue by $97.8 million, coupled with the
0.5% decrease in same store retail unit sales which decreased revenue by $3.9 million.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from used vehicle sales decreased $9.9 million, or 15.8%, from
2007 to 2008. The decrease is due to a $11.9 million, or 19.1%, decrease in same store
gross profit, somewhat offset by a $2.0 million increase from net dealership
acquisitions. The decrease in same store gross profit is due to the $454, or 18.6%,
decrease in average gross profit per used vehicle retailed which decreased retail gross
profit by $11.6 million, coupled with the 0.5% decrease in used retail unit sales, which
decreased gross profit by $0.3 million.

The decrease is due to a $12.5 million, or 16.0%, decrease in same store revenues during
the period, somewhat offset by a $2.2 million increase from net dealership acquisitions.
The same store revenue decrease is due to the 13.2% decrease in retail unit sales which
decreased revenue by $10.2 million, coupled with a $34, or 3.4%, decrease in comparative
average finance and insurance revenue per unit which decreased revenue by $2.3 million.
We believe these decreases were largely due to reduced consumer traffic resulting from
declining consumer confidence brought about by instability in the financial markets in
the markets we serve.

Revenues
Service and parts revenue increased $7.8 million, or 2.2%, from 2007 to 2008. The
increase is due to a $17.9 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during the
period, somewhat offset by a $10.1, or 2.9%, decrease in same store revenues. We believe
that our service and parts business is being positively impacted by the growth in total
retail unit sales at our dealerships in recent years and capacity increases in our
service and parts operations resulting from our ongoing facility improvement and
expansion programs, but are being affected in the short term due to the economic
uncertainty in the markets in which we operate.
Gross Profit
Service and parts gross profit increased $4.2 million, or 2.1%, from 2007 to 2008.
The increase is due to an $8.1 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during
the period, somewhat offset by a $3.9, or 2.0%, decrease in same store gross profit. The
same store gross profit decrease is due to the $10.1 million, or 2.9%, decrease in same
store revenues, which decreased gross profit by $5.6 million, somewhat offset by a 50
basis point increase in gross margin, which increased gross profit by $1.7 million.
Distribution
The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, smart USA Distributor LLC (smart USA),
began distributing the smart fortwo vehicle in the U.S. during 2008. Total distribution
segment revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2008 aggregated to $101.1
million. Segment gross profit totaled $13.2 million, which includes gross profit on
vehicle and parts sales.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased $6.0 million, or
1.5%, from $390.5 million to $384.5 million. The aggregate decrease is primarily due to a
$26.5 million, or 6.8%, decrease in same store SG&A, somewhat offset by a $20.5 million
increase from net dealership acquisition SG&A. The decrease in same store SG&A is due to
a net decrease in variable selling expenses, including decreases in variable compensation
as a result of the 13.7% decrease in same store retail gross profit versus the prior
year, somewhat offset by additional costs associated with the smart distribution
business, increased rent and other costs relating to our ongoing facility improvement and
expansion programs, and charges totaling $4.3 million related to severance, termination
of an acquisition agreement, and hurricane damage in the Houston market during Hurricane
Ike. The severance charges relate to a 4.3% reduction in worldwide staffing levels. SG&A
expenses increased as a percentage of gross profit from 78.2% to 83.4%.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $1.5 million, or 12.6%, from $12.6 million
to $14.1 million. The increase is due to a $0.7 million, or 5.9%, increase in same store
depreciation and amortization, coupled with an $0.8 million increase from net dealership
acquisitions. The same store increase is due in large part to our ongoing facility
improvement and expansion program.
Floor Plan Interest Expense
Floor plan interest expense decreased $3.6 million, or 19.1%, from $19.2 million to
$15.6 million. The decrease is due to a $4.5 million, or 23.4%, decrease in same store
floor plan interest expense, somewhat offset by a $0.9 million increase from net
dealership acquisitions. The same store decrease is due in large part to decreases in the
underlying variable rates of our revolving floor plan arrangements, somewhat offset by
increases in our average amounts outstanding.
33
Other Interest Expense
Other interest expense increased $4.0 million, or 31.8%, from $12.4 million to $16.4
million. The increase is due primarily to an increase in our average total outstanding
indebtedness in 2008 versus 2007, somewhat offset by decreases in our weighted average
interest rate. The increase in our outstanding indebtedness is due primarily to our
investment in PTL in June 2008.
Equity in Income of Affiliates
Equity in income of affiliates increased $7.5 million, from $1.5 million to $9.0
million. The increase from 2007 to 2008 is largely due to our investment in PTL.
Income Taxes
Income taxes decreased $8.6 million, or 37.8%, from $22.8 million to $14.2 million.
The decrease from 2007 to 2008 is due to the decrease in our pre-tax income versus the
prior year, somewhat offset by an increase in our overall effective income tax rate.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
2007 (dollars in millions, except per unit amounts)
Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 include charges of $4.3
million ($2.7 million after-tax), or $0.03 per share relating to severance costs, costs
associated with the termination of an acquisition agreement and insurance deductibles
relating to damage sustained in the Houston market during Hurricane Ike. Our results for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 include a charge of $18.6 million ($12.3 million
after-tax), or $0.13 per share, relating to the redemption of our $300.0 million
aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes at a price of 104.813% in
March of 2007.
Our results in the third quarter of 2008, and to a lesser extent the year to date
results in the nine months ended September 2008, were significantly impacted by a
difficult operating environment for the automotive retail industry. We believe declining
consumer confidence in the wake of an unstable financial market has resulted in a
significant reduction in consumer traffic at our retail locations, particularly in the
month of September.

Units
Retail data includes retail new vehicle, retail used vehicle, finance and insurance
and service and parts transactions. Retail unit sales of vehicles decreased by 4,784
units, or 2.1%, from 2007 to 2008. The decrease is due to a 14,309 unit, or 6.6%,
decrease in same store retail unit sales, somewhat offset by a 9,525 increase from net
dealership acquisitions during the period. The decrease in same store retail unit sales
was driven primarily by decreases in new retail units sales at our premium brand stores
in the U.S. and U.K. and volume foreign and domestic brand stores in the U.S, which was
somewhat offset by increases in used retail unit sales at our premium and domestic brand
stores in the U.S. We believe these decreases were largely due to reduced consumer
traffic resulting from declining consumer confidence brought about by instability in the
financial markets in the markets we serve.

Revenues
Retail sales revenue decreased $413.4 million, or 4.6%, from 2007 to 2008. The
decrease is due to a $756.6 million, or 8.7%, decrease in same store revenues, offset by

store revenue decrease is due to (1) the 6.6% decrease in retail unit sales, which
decreased revenue by $542.6 million, (2) a $2,310, or 7.5%, decrease in average used
vehicle revenue per unit, which decreased revenue by $172.6 million, (3) a $304, or 0.8%,
decrease in average new vehicle revenue per unit, which decreased revenue by
$38.4 million, and (4) a $5.2 million, or 0.5%, decrease in service and parts revenues.
These decreases were somewhat offset by (1) an $11, or 1.1%, increase in average finance
and insurance revenue per unit, which increased revenue by $2.2 million.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit decreased $26.0 million, or 1.8%, from 2007 to 2008. The decrease is
due to an $83.1 million, or 5.9%, decrease in same store retail gross profit, offset by a

Units
Retail unit sales of new vehicles decreased 8,198 units, or 5.5%, from 2007 to 2008.
The decrease is due to a 16,481 unit, or 11.5%, decrease in same store retail unit sales,
offset by an 8,283 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions during the period. The
same store decrease was due primarily to decreases in our premium brands in the U.S. and
U.K. and volume foreign and domestic brands in the U.S. We believe these decreases were
largely due to reduced consumer traffic resulting from declining consumer confidence
brought about by instability in the financial markets in the markets we serve.
Revenues
New vehicle retail sales revenue decreased $396.1 million, or 7.4%, from 2007 to
2008. The decrease is due to a $628.8 million, or 12.3%, decrease in same store revenues,
offset by a $232.7 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during the period.
The same store revenue decrease is due primarily to the 11.5% decrease in retail unit
sales, which reduced revenue by $590.4 million, coupled with a $304, or 0.8%, decrease in
average selling prices per unit, which decreased revenue by $38.4 million.
35
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from new vehicle sales decreased $36.9 million, or 8.2%, from
2007 to 2008. The decrease is due to a $58.8 million, or 13.6%, decrease in same store
gross profit, offset by a $21.9 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during
the period. The same store decrease is due to the 11.5% decrease in new retail unit
sales, which decreased gross profit by $49.6 million, coupled with a $73, or 2.4%,
decrease in average gross profit per new vehicle retailed, which decreased gross profit
by $9.2 million.

Units
Retail unit sales of used vehicles increased 3,414 units, or 4.4%, from 2007 to
2008. The increase is due to a 2,172 unit, or 2.9%, increase in same store retail unit
sales, coupled with a 1,242 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions during the
period. The same store increase was due primarily to increases in premium and domestic
brands in the U.S.
Revenues
Used vehicle retail sales revenue decreased $47.8 million, or 2.0%, from 2007 to
2008. The decrease is due to a $110.7 million, or 4.8%, decrease in same store revenues,
somewhat offset by a $62.9 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during the
period. The same store revenue decrease is due primarily to a $2,310, or 7.5%, decrease
in comparative average selling prices per vehicle, which decreased revenue by
$172.6 million, offset by the 2.9% increase in retail unit sales, which increased revenue
by $61.9 million.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from used vehicle sales decreased $6.3 million, or 3.4%, from
2007 to 2008. The decrease is due to an $11.3 million, or 6.2%, decrease in same store
gross profit, somewhat offset by a $5.0 million increase from net dealership acquisitions
during the period. The decrease in same store gross profit is due primarily to a $215, or
8.8%, decrease in average gross profit per used vehicle retailed, which decreased retail
gross profit by $16.1 million, offset by the 2.9% increase in used retail unit sales,
which increased gross profit by $4.8 million.

Finance and insurance revenue decreased $2.6 million, or 1.2%, from 2007 to 2008.
The decrease is due to an $11.9 million, or 5.5%, decrease in same store revenues,
somewhat offset by the $9.3 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during the
period. The same store revenue decrease is due primarily to the 6.6% decrease in retail
unit sales, which decreased revenue by $14.1 million, somewhat offset by the $11, or
1.1%, increase in average finance and insurance revenue per unit, which increased revenue
by $2.2 million. We believe these decreases were largely due to reduced consumer traffic
resulting from declining consumer confidence brought about by instability in the
financial markets in the markets we serve.

Revenues
Service and parts revenue increased $33.1 million, or 3.1%, from 2007 to 2008. The
increase is due to a $38.3 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during the
period, somewhat offset by the $5.2 million, or 0.5%, decrease in same store revenues. We
believe that our service and parts business is being positively impacted by the growth in
total retail unit sales at our dealerships in recent years and capacity increases in our
service and parts operations resulting from our ongoing facility improvement and
expansion programs, but are being affected in the short term due to the economic
uncertainty in the markets in which we operate.
Gross Profit
Service and parts gross profit increased $19.8 million, or 3.4%, from 2007 to 2008.
The increase is due a $20.9 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during the
period, somewhat offset by the $1.1 million, or 0.2%, decrease in same store gross
profit. The same store gross profit decrease is due to the $5.2 million, or 0.5%,
decrease in same store revenues, which decreased gross profit by $3.0 million, somewhat
offset by a 20 basis point increase in gross margin, which increased gross profit by
$1.9 million.
Distribution
The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, smart USA Distributor LLC (smart USA),
began distributing the smart fortwo vehicle in the U.S. during 2008. Total distribution
segment revenue during the first nine months of 2008 aggregated to $293.5 million.
Segment gross profit totaled $39.8 million, which includes gross profit on vehicle and
parts sales.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased $35.9 million, or
3.1%, from $1,143.8 million to $1,179.7 million. The aggregate increase is primarily due
to a $62.1 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during the period, somewhat
offset by the $26.2 million, or 2.4%, decrease in same store SG&A. The decrease in same
store SG&A is due to a net decrease in variable selling expenses, including decreases in
variable compensation as a result of the 5.9% decrease in same store retail gross profit
versus the prior year, somewhat offset by additional costs associated with the smart
distribution business and increased rent and other costs relating to our ongoing facility
improvement and expansion programs, and charges totaling $4.3 million related to
severance, termination of an acquisition agreement, and hurricane damage in the Houston
market during Hurricane Ike. The severance charges relate to a 4.3% reduction in
worldwide staffing levels. SG&A expenses increased as a percentage of gross profit from
78.8% to 81.1%.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $3.4 million, or 9.2%, from $37.7 million to
$41.1 million. The increase is due to a $2.0 million, or 5.3%, increase in same store
depreciation and amortization, coupled with a $1.4 million increase from net dealership
acquisitions during the period. The same store increase is due in large part to our
ongoing facility improvement and expansion program.
37
Floor Plan Interest Expense
Floor plan interest expense decreased $4.8 million, or 8.9%, from $54.2 million to
$49.4 million. The decrease is due to a $6.8 million, or 13.0%, decrease in same store
floor plan interest expense, somewhat offset by a $2.0 million increase from net
dealership acquisitions during the period. The same store decrease is due in large part
to decreases in the underlying variable rates of our revolving floor plan arrangements,
somewhat offset by increases in our average amounts outstanding.
Other Interest Expense
Other interest expense decreased $3.1 million, or 7.0%, from $44.1 million to
$41.0 million. The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in our average total
outstanding indebtedness in 2008 versus 2007, coupled with a decrease in our weighted
average interest rate.
In March 2007, we redeemed our outstanding $300.0 million 9.625% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2012 at a price of 104.813%. We incurred an $18.6 million pretax charge in
connection with the redemption, consisting of the $14.4 million redemption premium and
the write-off of $4.2 million of unamortized deferred financing costs.
Equity in Income of Affiliates
Equity in income of affiliates increased $10.1 million, from $3.2 million to $13.3
million. The increase from 2007 to 2008 is primarily due to our investment in PTL.
Income Taxes
Income taxes decreased $0.1 million, or 0.2%, from $55.7 million to $55.6 million.
The decrease from 2007 to 2008 is due to our decrease in pre-tax income versus the prior
year, somewhat offset by an increase in our overall effective income tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash requirements are primarily for working capital, inventory financing, the
acquisition of new dealerships, the improvement and expansion of existing facilities, the
construction of new facilities, debt service, dividends and potentially repurchases of
common stock under the program discussed below. Historically, these cash requirements
have been met through cash flow from operations, borrowings under our credit agreements
and floor plan arrangements, the issuance of debt securities, sale-leaseback transactions
and mortgages, or the issuance of equity securities. As of September 30, 2008, we had
working capital of $96.6 million, including $27.8 million of cash available to fund our
operations and capital commitments. In addition, we had $250.0 million and £73.0 million
($129.8 million) available for borrowing under our U.S. credit agreement and our U.K.
credit agreement, respectively, each of which is discussed below.
We have historically expanded our automotive retail operations through organic
growth and the acquisition of retail automotive dealerships. In addition, one of our
subsidiaries is the exclusive distributor of smart fortwo vehicles in the United States
and Puerto Rico. We believe that cash flow from operations and our existing capital
resources, including the liquidity provided by our credit agreements and floor plan
financing arrangements, will be sufficient to fund our operations and commitments for at
least the next twelve months. To the extent we pursue additional significant
acquisitions, other expansion opportunities, significant repurchases of our common stock,
or refinance existing debt, we may need to raise additional capital either through the
public or private issuance of equity or debt securities or through additional borrowings
which sources of funds may not necessarily be available on terms acceptable to us, if at
all.
We paid dividends of seven cents per share on March 1, 2007, June 1, 2007 and
September 4, 2007 and dividends of nine cents per share on December 3, 2007, March 3,
2008, June 2, 2008 and September 1, 2008. We have also declared a dividend of nine cents
per share payable on December 1, 2008 to shareholders of record on November 10, 2008.
Future quarterly or other cash dividends will depend upon our earnings, capital
requirements, financial condition, restrictions on any then existing indebtedness and
other factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors.
38
Share Repurchases and Dividends
Our board of directors has approved a stock repurchase program for our outstanding
common stock with a remaining authority of $99.9 million. We may, from time to time as
market conditions warrant, purchase our outstanding common stock on the open market and
in privately negotiated transactions and, potentially, via a tender offer or a
pre-arranged trading plan. We currently intend to fund any repurchases through cash flow
from operations and borrowings under our U.S. credit facility. The decision to make stock
repurchases will be based on factors such as the market price of our common stock versus
our view of its intrinsic value, the potential impact of such repurchases on our capital
structure, and alternative uses of capital, such as for strategic store acquisitions and
capital investments in our current businesses, as well as any then-existing limits
imposed by our finance agreements and securities trading policy. During the third
quarter of 2008, we repurchased 3.6 million shares for $50.1 million, or $14.04 per
share, under this program.
Inventory Financing
We finance substantially all of our new and a portion of our used vehicle
inventories under revolving floor plan arrangements with various lenders. In the U.S.,
the floor plan arrangements are due on demand; however, we are generally not required to
make loan principal repayments prior to the sale of the vehicles financed. We typically
make monthly interest payments on the amount financed. In the U.K., substantially all of
our floor plan arrangements are payable on demand or have an original maturity of 90 days
or less and we are generally required to repay floor plan advances at the earlier of the
sale of the vehicles financed or the stated maturity. The floor plan agreements grant a
security interest in substantially all of the assets of our dealership subsidiaries and
in the United States are guaranteed by the Company. Interest rates under the floor plan
arrangements are variable and increase or decrease based on changes in various
benchmarks. We receive non-refundable credits from certain of our vehicle manufacturers,
which are treated as a reduction of cost of sales as vehicles are sold.
U.S. Credit Agreement
We are party to a $479.0 million credit agreement with DCFS USA LLC and Toyota Motor
Credit Corporation, as amended (the U.S. credit agreement), which provides for up to
$250.0 million in revolving loans for working capital, acquisitions, capital
expenditures, investments and for other general corporate purposes, a $219.0 million
non-amortizing term loan, and for an additional $10.0 million of availability for letters
of credit, through September 30, 2010. Pursuant to the evergreen provisions of the
credit agreement, the term of the credit agreement was extended on September 10, 2008, by
one year through September 30, 2011. The revolving loans bear interest at defined LIBOR
plus 1.75%, subject to an incremental 0.50% for uncollateralized borrowings in excess of
a defined borrowing base. The term loan, which bears interest at defined LIBOR plus
2.50%, may be prepaid at any time, but then may not be re-borrowed.
On September 29, 2008, we amended the U.S. credit agreement to provide us greater
flexibility to enter into the mortgage facility referenced below under Mortgage
Facilities. On October 30, 2008, we amended and restated the U.S. credit agreement (the
amended U.S. credit agreement) to incorporate our prior six amendments, eliminate the
ratio of domestic debt to domestic earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) covenant and the minimum stockholders equity covenant, change
the financial ratio on the debt to EBITDA covenant from 2.75 to 2.5, provide for additional flexibility for incremental real estate mortgage borrowings, and make other changes designed to provide
us with additional operating flexibility.
The amended U.S. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint
and several basis by our domestic subsidiaries and contains a number of significant
covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur
additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens on assets,
make investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. We are also
required to comply with specified financial and other tests and ratios, each as defined
in the amended U.S. credit agreement, including: a ratio of current assets to current
liabilities, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a ratio of debt to stockholders equity and a
ratio of debt to EBITDA. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain
remedies under the agreement, the most severe of which is the termination of the
agreement and acceleration of the amounts owed. As of September 30, 2008, the Company was
in compliance with all covenants under the U.S. credit agreement, and we believe we will
remain in compliance with such covenants for the foreseeable future. In making such
determination, we have considered the current margin of compliance with the covenants and
our expected future results of operations, working capital requirements, acquisitions,
capital expenditures and investments in the U.S. However, in the event of continued
weakness in the economy and the automotive sector in particular, we may need to seek
covenant relief. See Forward Looking Statements.
39
The amended U.S. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including
change of control, non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to our other material
indebtedness. Substantially all of our domestic assets are subject to security interests
granted to lenders under the amended U.S. credit agreement. As of September 30, 2008,
$219.0 million of term loans and $0.5 million of letters of credit were outstanding under
this facility. No revolving loans were outstanding as of September 30, 2008.
U.K. Credit Agreement
On September 29, 2008, our subsidiaries in the U.K. (the U.K. subsidiaries)
amended their existing £130.0 million multi-option credit agreement with the Royal Bank
of Scotland plc, as agent for National Westminster Bank plc, to provide greater
flexibility within the financial covenants and increase the borrowing rate paid under the
facility. This facility consists of a funded term loan, a revolving credit agreement and
a seasonally adjusted overdraft line of credit (collectively, the U.K. credit
agreement) to be used to finance acquisitions, working capital, and general corporate
purposes. The amended U.K. credit agreement provides for (1) up to £80.0 million in
revolving loans through August 31, 2011, which bears interest between defined LIBOR plus
1.0% and defined LIBOR plus 1.6%, (2) a £30.0 million funded term loan which currently
bears interest between 6.29% and 6.89% and is payable ratably in quarterly intervals
until fully repaid on June 30, 2011, and (3) a seasonally adjusted overdraft line of
credit for up to £20.0 million that bears interest at the Bank of England Base Rate plus
1.75%, and matures on August 31, 2011.
The U.K. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and
several basis by our U.K. subsidiaries, and contains a number of significant covenants
that, among other things, restrict the ability of our U.K. subsidiaries to pay dividends,
dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, create liens
on assets, make investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. In
addition, our U.K. subsidiaries are required to comply with specified ratios and tests,
each as defined in the U.K. credit agreement, including: a ratio of earnings before
interest and taxes plus rental payments to interest plus rental payments (as defined), a
measurement of maximum capital expenditures, and a debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined). A
breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the agreement, the
most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of the amounts
owed. As of September 30, 2008, our U.K. subsidiaries were in compliance with all
covenants under the U.K. credit agreement and we believe we will remain in compliance
with such covenants for the foreseeable future. In making such determination, we have
considered the current margin of compliance with the covenants and our expected future
results of operations, working capital requirements, acquisitions, capital expenditures
and investments in the U.K. However, in the event of continued weakness in the economy
and the automotive sector in particular, we may need to seek covenant relief. See
Forward Looking Statements.
The U.K. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change
of control and non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to other material
indebtedness of our U.K. subsidiaries. Substantially all of our U.K. subsidiaries assets
are subject to security interests granted to lenders under the U.K. credit agreement. As
of September 30, 2008, outstanding loans under the U.K. credit agreement amounted to
£46.4 million ($82.5 million).
7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes
On December 7, 2006 we issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the 7.75% Notes). The 7.75% Notes are unsecured
senior subordinated notes and are subordinate to all existing and future senior debt,
including debt under our credit agreements and floor plan indebtedness. The 7.75% Notes
are guaranteed by substantially all wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries on an unsecured
senior subordinated basis. We can redeem all or some of the 7.75% Notes at our option
beginning in December 2011 at specified redemption prices, or prior to December 2011 at
100% of the principal amount of the notes plus an applicable make-whole premium, as
defined. In addition, we may redeem up to 40% of the 7.75% Notes at specified redemption
prices using the proceeds of certain equity offerings before December 15, 2009. Upon
certain sales of assets or specific kinds of changes of control, we are required to make
an offer to purchase the 7.75% Notes. The 7.75% Notes also contain customary negative
covenants and events of default. As of September 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all
negative covenants and there were no events of default.
40
Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes
On January 31, 2006, we issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50%
senior subordinated convertible notes due 2026 (the Convertible Notes). The Convertible
Notes mature on April 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or purchased by us, as
discussed below. The Convertible Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and
are subordinate to all future and existing debt under our credit agreement and floor plan
indebtedness. The convertible notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated
basis by substantially all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The guarantees are
full and unconditional and joint and several. The Convertible Notes also contain
customary negative covenants and events of default. As of September 30, 2008, we were in
compliance with all negative covenants and there were no events of default.
Holders of the convertible notes may convert them based on a conversion rate of
42.2052 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes
(which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $23.69 per share), subject to
adjustment, only under the following circumstances: (1) in any quarterly period, if the
closing price of our common stock for twenty of the last thirty trading days in the prior
quarter exceeds $28.43 (subject to adjustment), (2) for specified periods, if the trading
price of the Convertible Notes falls below specific thresholds, (3) if the Convertible
Notes are called for redemption, (4) if specified distributions to holders of our common
stock are made or specified corporate transactions occur, (5) if a fundamental change (as
defined) occurs, or (6) during the ten trading days prior to, but excluding, the maturity
date.
Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, for each $1,000 principal amount of the
Convertible Notes, a holder will receive an amount in cash, in lieu of shares of our
common stock, equal to the lesser of (i) $1,000 or (ii) the conversion value, determined
in the manner set forth in the related indenture covering the Convertible Notes, of the
number of shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate. If the conversion value
exceeds $1,000, we will also deliver, at our election, cash, common stock or a
combination of cash and common stock with respect to the remaining value deliverable upon
conversion.
In the event of a conversion due to a change of control on or before April 6, 2011,
we will, in certain circumstances, pay a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion
rate used in that conversion. In addition, we will pay additional cash interest
commencing with six-month periods beginning on April 1, 2011, if the average trading
price of a Convertible Note for certain periods in the prior six-month period equals 120%
or more of the principal amount of the Convertible Note.
On or after April 6, 2011, we may redeem the Convertible Notes, in whole at any time
or in part from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of 100% of the principal
amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to
the applicable redemption date. Holders of the Convertible Notes may require us to
purchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes for cash on each of April 1, 2011,
April 1, 2016 or April 1, 2021 at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount
of the Convertible Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to
the applicable purchase date.
Mortgage Facilities
On September 29, 2008, we entered into a $42.4 million seven year mortgage facility
with Toyota Motor Credit Corporation with respect to certain of our dealership
properties. The facility bears interest at a defined rate, requires monthly principal
and interest payments, and includes the option to extend the term for successive periods
of five years up to a maximum term of twenty-five years. In the event we exercise our
option to extend the term, the interest rate will be renegotiated for each renewal
period.
The mortgage facility contains typical events of default, including non-payment of
obligations, cross-defaults to the Companys other material indebtedness, certain change
of control events, and loss or sale of certain franchises operated at the property.
Substantially all of the buildings, improvements, fixtures and personal property of the
properties under the mortgage facility are subject to security interests granted to the
lender. As of September 30, 2008, $32.9 million was outstanding under the mortgage
facility. We expect to draw the remainder of the facility upon the completion of the
dealership facilities and other funding requirements.
9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes
In March 2007, we redeemed our outstanding $300.0 million aggregate principal amount
of 9.625% senior subordinated notes due 2012 (the 9.625% Notes). The 9.625% Notes were
unsecured senior subordinated notes and were subordinate to all existing senior debt,
including debt under our credit agreements and floor plan indebtedness. We incurred an
$18.6 million pre-tax charge in connection with the redemption, consisting of a
$14.4 million redemption premium and the write-off of $4.2 million of unamortized
deferred financing costs.
41
Interest Rate Swaps
We are party to interest rate swap agreements through January 7, 2011 pursuant to
which the LIBOR portion of $300.0 million of our floating rate floor plan debt was fixed
at 3.67%. We may terminate this arrangement at any time subject to the settlement of the
then current fair value of the swap arrangement. The swaps are designated as cash flow
hedges of future interest payments of LIBOR based U.S. floor plan borrowings. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, the swaps increased the weighted average interest
rate on floor plan borrowings by approximately 0.1%. As of September 30, 2008, we used
Level 2 inputs as described under SFAS 157 to estimate the fair value of these contracts
to be a $2.7 million liability, and expect approximately $1.7 million associated with the
swaps to be recognized as an increase of interest expense over the next twelve months.
We were party to an interest rate swap agreement which expired in January 2008,
pursuant to which a notional $200.0 million of our U.S. floating rate debt was exchanged
for fixed rate debt. The swap was designated as a cash flow hedge of future interest
payments of the LIBOR based U.S. floor plan borrowings.
Other Financing Arrangements
In the past, we have entered into significant sale-leaseback transactions to finance
certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sold
property and/or leasehold improvements to third parties and agreed to lease those assets
back for a certain period of time. Such sales generated proceeds which varied from period
to period. In light of current market conditions, this financing option has become more
expensive and thus we may utilize these arrangements less in the near term.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 3.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026
The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock, at the option
of the holder, based on certain conditions described above. Certain of these conditions
are linked to the market value of our common stock. This type of financing arrangement
was selected by us in order to achieve a more favorable interest rate (as opposed to
other forms of available financing). Since we or the holders of the Convertible Notes can
redeem these notes on April 2011, a conversion or a redemption of these notes is likely
to occur in 2011. Such redemption or conversion will include cash for the principal
amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding plus an amount payable in either cash or
stock, at our option, depending on the trading price of our common stock.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $14.5 million and $10.9 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The major components of
these changes are discussed below.
Cash Flows from Continuing Operating Activities
Cash provided by continuing operating activities was $358.2 million and
$337.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Cash flows from operating activities include net income, as adjusted for non-cash items,
and the effects of changes in working capital.
We finance substantially all of our new and a portion of our used vehicle
inventories under revolving floor plan notes payable with various lenders. In accordance
with SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, we report all cash flows arising in
connection with floor plan notes payable with the manufacturer of a particular new
vehicle as an operating activity in our statement of cash flows, and all cash flows
arising in connection with floor plan notes payable to a party other than the
manufacturer of a particular new vehicle and all floor plan notes payable relating to
pre-owned vehicles as a financing activity in our statement of cash flows.
42
We believe that changes in aggregate floor plan liabilities are typically linked to
changes in vehicle inventory and, therefore, are an integral part of understanding

Cash Flows from Continuing Investing Activities
Cash used in continuing investing activities was $508.2 million and $148.2 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Cash flows from
investing activities consist primarily of cash used for capital expenditures, proceeds
from sale-leaseback transactions and net expenditures for dealership acquisitions.
Capital expenditures were $165.4 million and $114.6 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Capital expenditures relate primarily to
improvements to our existing dealership facilities and the construction of new
facilities. Proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions were $19.7 million and
$105.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Cash used in business acquisitions and other investments, net of cash acquired, was
$142.1 million and $154.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively, and included cash used to repay sellers floor plan liabilities in
such business acquisitions of $30.7 million and $48.5 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We used $220.5 million for other
investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, including $219.0
million for the acquisition of a 9% partnership interest in Penske Truck Leasing Co.,
L.P. (PTL).
Cash Flows from Continuing Financing Activities
Cash provided by continuing financing activities was $129.2 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and cash used by continuing financing activities was
$267.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Cash flows from financing
activities include net borrowings or repayments of long-term debt, net borrowings or
repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade, payments of deferred financing costs,
proceeds from the issuance of common stock, including proceeds from the exercise of stock
options, repurchases of common stock and dividends. We had net borrowings of long-term
debt of $238.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and net repayments
of $393.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The borrowings in the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 included the $219.0 million loan to finance the
purchase of the PTL limited partnership interest and the $32.9
million mortgage facility. The repayments in the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 included $14.4 million of premium paid on the redemption of our 9.625%
Senior Subordinated Notes. We had net repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade of
$33.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and net borrowings of floor
plan notes payable non-trade of $143.5 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 we received proceeds of
$0.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, from the issuance of common stock. We used
$50.1 million to repurchase 3.6 million shares of common stock during the nine months
ended September 30, 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we
paid $25.6 million and $19.9 million, respectively, of cash dividends to our
stockholders.
Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations
Cash flows relating to discontinued operations are not currently considered, nor are
they expected to become, material to our liquidity or our capital resources. We do not
believe that there is any significant past, present or future cash transactions relating
to discontinued operations.
Commitments
We were party to a joint venture agreement with respect to our Honda of Mentor
dealership in Ohio. We were required to repurchase our partners interest in this joint
venture in July 2008 and completed the repurchase on July 23, 2008 with a payment of $5.1
million.

Related Party Transactions
Stockholders Agreement
Several of our directors and officers are affiliated with Penske Corporation or
related entities. Roger S. Penske, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer,
is also Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Penske Corporation, and
through entities affiliated with Penske Corporation, our largest stockholder owning
approximately 41% of our outstanding common stock. Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsui & Co.
(USA), Inc. (collectively, Mitsui) own approximately 17% of our outstanding common
stock. Mitsui, Penske Corporation and certain other affiliates of Penske Corporation are
parties to a stockholders agreement pursuant to which the Penske affiliated companies
agreed to vote their shares for one director who is a representative of Mitsui. In turn,
Mitsui agreed to vote their shares for up to fourteen directors voted for by the Penske
affiliated companies. This agreement terminates in March 2014, upon the mutual consent of
the parties, or when either party no longer owns any of our common stock.
Other Related Party Interests and Transactions
Roger S. Penske is also a managing member of Penske Capital Partners and
Transportation Resource Partners, each organizations that undertake investments in
transportation-related industries. Richard J. Peters, one of our directors, is a managing
director of Transportation Resource Partners and is a director of Penske Corporation.
Eustace W. Mita and Lucio A. Noto (two of our directors) are investors in Transportation
Resource Partners. One of our directors, Hiroshi Ishikawa, serves as our Executive Vice
President International Business Development and serves in a similar capacity for
Penske Corporation. Robert H. Kurnick, Jr., our President and a director, is also the
President and a director of Penske Corporation.
We sometimes pay to and/or receive fees from Penske Corporation and its affiliates
for services rendered in the normal course of business, or to reimburse payments made to
third parties on each others behalf. These transactions are reviewed periodically by our
Audit Committee and reflect the providers cost or an amount mutually agreed upon by both
parties.
We and Penske Corporation have entered into a joint insurance agreement which
provides that, with respect to our joint insurance policies (which includes our property
policy), available coverage with respect to a loss shall be paid to each party as
stipulated in the policies. In the event of losses by us and Penske Corporation that
exceed the limit of liability for any policy or policy period, the total policy proceeds
shall be allocated based on the ratio of premiums paid.
We are a 9% limited partner of PTL, a leading global transportation services
provider. PTL operates and maintains more than 200,000 vehicles and serves customers in
North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Product lines include full-service
leasing, contract maintenance, commercial and consumer truck rental and logistics
services, including, transportation and distribution center management and supply chain
management. The general partner is Penske Truck Leasing Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Penske Corporation, which together with other wholly-owned subsidiaries of
Penske Corporation, owns 40% of PTL. The remaining 51% of PTL is owned by GE Capital. We
are party to a partnership agreement among the other partners which, among other things,
provides us with specified partner distribution and governance rights and restricts our
ability to transfer our interests.
We have entered into other joint ventures with certain related parties as more fully
discussed below.

Joint Venture Relationships
From time to time, we enter into other joint venture relationships in the ordinary
course of business, through which we acquire automotive dealerships together with other
investors. We may provide these dealerships with working capital and other debt financing
at costs that are based on our incremental borrowing rate. As of September 30, 2008, our

Cyclicality
Unit sales of motor vehicles, particularly new vehicles, historically have been
cyclical, fluctuating with general economic cycles. During economic downturns, the
automotive retailing industry tends to experience periods of decline and recession
similar to those experienced by the general economy. We believe that the industry is
influenced by general economic conditions and particularly by consumer confidence, the
level of personal discretionary spending, fuel prices, interest rates and credit
availability.
Seasonality
Our business is modestly seasonal overall. Our U.S. operations generally experience
higher volumes of vehicle sales in the second and third quarters of each year due in part
to consumer buying trends and the introduction of new vehicle models. Also, vehicle
demand, and to a lesser extent demand for service and parts, is generally lower during
the winter months than in other seasons, particularly in regions of the United States
where dealerships may be subject to severe winters. Our U.K. operations generally
experience higher volumes of vehicle sales in the first and third quarters of each year,
due primarily to vehicle registration practices in the U.K.
Effects of Inflation
We believe that inflation rates over the last few years have not had a significant impact
on revenues or profitability. We do not expect inflation to have any near-term material
effects on the sale of our products and services, however, we cannot be sure there will
be no such effect in the future. We finance substantially all of our inventory through
various revolving floor plan arrangements with interest rates that vary based on various
benchmarks. Such rates have historically increased during periods of increasing
inflation.

Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which
generally can be identified by the use of terms such as may, will, should,
expect, anticipate, believe, intend, plan, estimate, predict, potential,
forecast, continue or variations of such terms, or the use of these terms in the
negative. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our current plans,
forecasts, estimates, beliefs or expectations, including, without limitation, statements
with respect to:
|
|
|
our future financial performance; |
|
|
|
|
future acquisitions; |
|
|
|
|
future capital expenditures and share repurchases; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to obtain cost savings and synergies; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to respond to economic cycles; |
|
|
|
|
trends in the automotive retail industry and in the general economy in the
various countries in which we operate dealerships; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to access the remaining availability under our credit agreements; |
|
|
|
|
our liquidity; |
|
|
|
|
interest rates; |
|
|
|
|
trends affecting our future financial condition or results of operations; and |
|
|
|
|
our business strategy. |
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are
not assurances of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from
anticipated results due to a variety of factors, including the factors identified in our
2007 annual report on Form 10-K filed February 26, 2008. Important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include the following:
|
|
|
the ability of automobile manufacturers to exercise significant control over our operations,
since we depend on them in order to operate our business; |
|
|
|
|
because we depend on the success and popularity of the brands we sell, adverse conditions
affecting one or more automobile manufacturers may negatively impact our revenues and
profitability; |
|
|
|
|
we may not be able to satisfy our capital requirements for acquisitions, dealership renovation
projects or financing the purchase of our inventory; |
|
|
|
|
our failure to meet a manufacturers consumer satisfaction requirements may adversely affect
our ability to acquire new dealerships, our ability to obtain incentive payments from
manufacturers and our profitability; |
|
|
|
|
our business and the automotive retail industry in general are susceptible to adverse economic
conditions, including changes in interest rates, consumer confidence, fuel prices and credit
availability; |
|
|
|
|
with respect to PTL, changes in tax, financial or regulatory rules on requirements, changes in
the financial health of PTLs customers, labor strikes or work stoppages, asset utilization
rates and industry competition; |
|
|
|
|
substantial competition in automotive sales and services may adversely affect our profitability; |
|
|
|
|
if we lose key personnel, especially our Chief Executive Officer, or
are unable to attract additional qualified personnel, our business
could be adversely affected; |
|
|
|
|
because most customers finance the cost of purchasing a vehicle,
increased interest rates in the U.S. or the U.K. may adversely affect
our vehicle sales; |
46
|
|
|
our business may be adversely affected by import product restrictions and foreign trade risks that may impair
our ability to sell foreign vehicles profitably; |
|
|
|
|
our automobile dealerships are subject to substantial regulation which may adversely affect our profitability; |
|
|
|
|
if state dealer laws in the United States are repealed or weakened, our automotive dealerships may be subject
to increased competition and may be more susceptible to termination, non-renewal or renegotiation of their
franchise agreements; |
|
|
|
|
our U.K. dealerships are not afforded the same legal franchise protections as those in the U.S. so we could
be subject to addition competition from other local dealerships in the U.K.; |
|
|
|
|
our smart distribution operations represents a new line of business for us whose profitability is unproven; |
|
|
|
|
our automotive dealerships are subject to environmental regulations that may result in claims and liabilities; |
|
|
|
|
our dealership operations may be affected by severe weather or other periodic business interruptions; |
|
|
|
|
our principal stockholders have substantial influence over us and may make decisions with which other
stockholders may disagree; |
|
|
|
|
some of our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest with respect to certain related party
transactions and other business interests; |
|
|
|
|
our level of indebtedness may limit our ability to obtain financing for acquisitions and may require that a
significant portion of our cash flow be used for debt service; |
|
|
|
|
we may be involved in legal proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on our business; |
|
|
|
|
our operations outside of the United States subject our profitability to fluctuations relating to changes in
foreign currency valuations; and |
|
|
|
|
we are a holding company and, as a result, must rely on the receipt of payments from our subsidiaries, which
are subject to limitations, in order to meet our cash needs and service our indebtedness. |
In addition:
|
|
|
the price of our common stock is subject to substantial fluctuation,
which may be unrelated to our performance; and |
|
|
|
|
shares eligible for future sale, or issuable under the terms of our
convertible notes, may cause the market price of our common stock to
drop significantly, even if our business is doing well. |
We urge you to carefully consider these risk factors in evaluating all
forward-looking statements regarding our business. Readers of this report are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by this
cautionary statement. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws and
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, we have no intention or
obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
47
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in the interest rates on
a significant portion of our outstanding debt. Outstanding revolving balances under our
credit agreements bear interest at variable rates based on a margin over defined
benchmarks. Based on the amount outstanding as of September 30, 2008, a 100 basis point
change in interest rates would result in an approximate $2.7 million change to our annual
interest expense. Similarly, amounts outstanding under floor plan financing arrangements
bear interest at a variable rate based on a margin over defined benchmarks. Based on an
average of the aggregate amounts outstanding under our floor plan financing arrangements
subject to variable interest payments during the trailing twelve months ended
September 30, 2008, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an
approximate $12.9 million change to our annual interest expense.
We continually evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and follow
established policies and procedures to implement strategies designed to manage the amount
of variable rate indebtedness outstanding at any point in time in an effort to mitigate
the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. We are currently
party to swap agreements pursuant to which a notional $300.0 million of our floating rate
floor plan debt was exchanged for fixed rate debt through January 2011.
Interest rate fluctuations affect the fair market value of our fixed rate debt,
including our swaps, the 7.75% Notes, the Convertible Notes and certain seller financed
promissory notes, but, with respect to such fixed rate debt instruments, do not impact
our earnings or cash flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. As of September 30, 2008, we have dealership
operations in the U.K. and Germany. In each of these markets, the local currency is the
functional currency. Due to our intent to remain permanently invested in these foreign
markets, we do not hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. In the event we change
our intent with respect to the investment in any of our international operations, we
would expect to implement strategies designed to manage those risks in an effort to
mitigate the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. A
ten percent change in average exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar would have resulted
in an approximate $367.1 million change to our revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008.
In common with other automotive retailers, we purchase certain of our new vehicle
and parts inventories from foreign manufacturers. Although we purchase the majority of
our inventories in the local functional currency, our business is subject to certain
risks, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political
climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions and foreign
exchange rate volatility which may influence such manufacturers ability to provide their
products at competitive prices in the local jurisdictions. Our future results could be
materially and adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the
principal executive and financial officers, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal
executive and financial officers, to allow timely discussions regarding required
disclosure.
Based upon this evaluation, the Companys principal executive and financial officers
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the
period covered by this report. In addition, we maintain internal controls designed to
provide us with the information required for accounting and financial reporting purposes.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the most recent quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
48
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising in the
normal course of business. Such claims may relate to litigation with customers,
employment related lawsuits, class action lawsuits, purported class action lawsuits and
actions brought by governmental authorities. As of September 30, 2008, we are not a party
to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits, that, individually or in the
aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters
cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these
matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.

Future share repurchases are subject to limitations contained in our
7.75% senior subordinated notes indenture. As of September 30, 2008,
we had availability to repurchase the full amount remaining under the
program. For a further discussion of factors we will consider in
deciding whether to repurchase shares in the future, please refer to

Repurchases and Dividends. |
Item 5. Other Information
On October 30, 2008, we amended and restated our $479 million credit agreement with
DCFS USA LLC and Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (the amended U.S. credit agreement)
to incorporate our prior six amendments, eliminate the ratio of domestic debt to domestic
EBITDA covenant and the minimum stockholders equity covenant, change the financial ratio
on the debt to EBITDA covenant from 2.75 to 2.5, provide for
additional flexibility for incremental real estate
mortgage borrowings, and make other changes designed to provide us with additional
operating flexibility.
These changes are further described in the third amended and restated U.S. credit
agreement, which is filed as exhibit 4.4 to this Form 10-Q. We purchase motor vehicles
from Daimler AG and Toyota Motor Corporation, affiliates of the lenders under the U.S.
credit agreement, for sale at certain of our dealerships. The lenders also provide
certain of our dealerships with floor-plan financing and consumer financing.
