    Announces Dividend of $0.53 per Share for Second Quarter

    MEDFORD, Ore., Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithia & Driveway (NYSE:LAD) today reported the highest second quarter revenue in company history and the first profitable quarter for Financing Operations, which includes Driveway Finance Corporation.

    Lithia & Driveway (PRNewsfoto/Lithia Motors, Inc.)

    Second quarter 2024 revenue increased 14% to $9.2 billion from $8.1 billion in the second quarter of 2023.

    Second quarter 2024 net income attributable to LAD per diluted share was $7.87, a 27% decrease from $10.78 per diluted share reported in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted second quarter 2024 net income attributable to LAD per diluted share was $7.87, a 28% decrease compared to $10.96 per diluted share in the same period of 2023. Unrealized investment gains partially offset by foreign currency exchange losses positively impacted earnings per share by $0.75.

    Second quarter 2024 net income was $217 million, a 28% decrease compared to net income of $301 million in the same period of 2023. Adjusted second quarter 2024 net income was $217 million, a 29% decrease compared to adjusted net income of $306 million for the same period of 2023.

    As shown in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables, the 2024 second quarter adjusted results had offsetting non-core items related to insurance reserves, tax attributes, and acquisition expenses. The 2023 second quarter adjusted results exclude a $0.18 per diluted share impact resulting from non-core items, including acquisition expenses and insurance reserves, partially offset by a net gain on the sale of stores.

    Key Second Quarter 2024 Highlights:

    • Total revenues increased 14% compared to second quarter 2023
    • Diluted net income per share improved from $6.11 to $7.87, a 29% increase, from first quarter 2024
    • Financing operations first profitable quarter with income of $7 million
    • Driveway Finance Corporation (DFC) originated $562 million in loans, total portfolio of $3.6 billion
    • Repurchased 2.9% of outstanding shares

    "In the second quarter, our teams focused on operating efficiency and continuity as we responded to the continued normalization of margins and the disruption created by the CDK cyberattack. Our teams demonstrated an impressive effort to quickly pivot and provide solutions to maintain our ability to stay operational across our network and support the restoration of our environment," said Bryan DeBoer, President and CEO. "Our diversified model demonstrated its strength, delivering the first quarter of profitability in Driveway Finance and continuing maturity of our adjacencies as we expand our omnichannel ecosystem to deliver the best experience for our customers. We have opportunistically rebalanced our capital allocation from acquisitions toward returns to our shareholders, with the long-term target of delivering $2 in EPS per billion in revenues."

    For the first six months of 2024 revenues increased 18% to $17.8 billion, compared to $15.1 billion in 2023.

    Net income attributable to LAD for the first six months of 2024 was $13.75 per diluted share, compared to $19.08 per diluted share in 2023, a decrease of 28%. Adjusted net income attributable to LAD per diluted share for the first six months of 2024 decreased 28% to $13.97 from $19.38 in the same period of 2023. Unrealized gain on investments partially offset by foreign currency exchange losses positively impacted earnings per share by $0.60.

    Corporate Development

    During the second quarter, LAD expanded its network in the Southeast region with the acquisition of two stores in Tennessee and added Woodbridge Hyundai in the greater Toronto area. Year-to-date, we have acquired over $5.6 billion in annualized revenues.

    LAD expanded its omnichannel strategy with the purchase of a minority stake in Wheels, Inc. in partnership with Marubeni Corporation.  Wheels, Inc. is one of the largest fleet management companies in North America with a best-in-class management team and a robust competitive moat.  This investment in a highly profitable fleet management operator is expected to create transformative synergies between our retail platform and fleet operations. This transaction was completed in the third quarter.

    Balance Sheet Update

    LAD ended the second quarter with approximately $1.3 billion in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and availability on our revolving lines of credit. In addition, unfinanced real estate could provide additional liquidity of approximately $0.3 billion.

    Dividend Payment and Share Repurchases

    The Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.53 per share related to second quarter 2024 financial results. The dividend is expected to be paid on August 23, 2024 to shareholders of record on August 9, 2024.

    During 2024, we repurchased approximately 793,000 shares at a weighted average price of $256. Under the current share repurchase authorization approximately $613.8 million remains available.

    Certain statements in this presentation, and at times made by our officers and representatives, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "project," "outlook," "target," "may," "will," "would," "should," "seek," "expect," "plan," "intend," "forecast," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "likely," "goal," "strategy," "future," "maintain," and "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. Examples of forward-looking statements in this presentation include, among others, statements regarding:

    • Our business strategy and plans, including our achieving our long-term EPS and other financial targets
    • The growth, expansion, make-up and success of our network, including our finding accretive acquisitions and acquiring additional stores

    • Our compliance with financial and restrictive covenants in our credit facilities and other debt agreements
    • Our programs and initiatives for employee recruitment, training, and retention
    • Our strategies and targets for customer retention, growth, market position, operations, financial results and risk management

    Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements in this presentation. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimated or projected results include, without limitation:

    • Future national and local economic and financial conditions, including as a result of regional or global public health issues, inflation and governmental programs, and spending
    • The market for dealerships, including the availability of stores to us for an acceptable price
    • Changes in customer demand, our relationship with, and the financial and operational stability of, OEMs and other suppliers
    • Changes in the competitive landscape, including through technology and our ability to deliver new products, services and customer experiences and a portfolio of in-demand and available vehicles
    • Risks associated with our indebtedness, including available borrowing capacity, interest rates, compliance with financial covenants and ability to refinance or repay indebtedness on favorable terms
    • The adequacy of our cash flows and other conditions which may affect our ability to fund capital expenditures, obtain favorable financing and pay our quarterly dividend at planned levels
    • Disruptions to our technology network including computer systems, as well as natural events such as severe weather or man-made or other disruptions of our operating systems, facilities or equipment
    • Government regulations and legislation
    • The risks set forth throughout "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.

    Any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share, adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue and gross profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted operating profit as a percentage of revenue and gross profit, adjusted pre-tax margin and net profit margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, leveraged EBITDA and adjusted total debt. Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under GAAP and may be defined differently by and not comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, we review any non-GAAP financial measures in connection with a review of the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution you not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We present cash flows from operations in the attached tables, adjusted to include the change in non-trade floor plan debt to improve the visibility of cash flows related to vehicle financing. As required by SEC rules, we have reconciled these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the attachments to this release. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures we present improve the transparency of our disclosures; provide a meaningful presentation of our results from core business operations, because they exclude items not related to core business operations and other non-cash items; and improve the period-to-period comparability of our results from core business operations. These presentations should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.
