Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: PAG), an international transportation services company, today announced record first quarter results, including record revenue, income from continuing operations and earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders increased 4.9% to $83.2 million, and related earnings per share increased 7.8% to $0.97, when compared to the same period last year.  Foreign exchange negatively impacted income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders by $7.5 million, and earnings per share attributable to common shareholders by $0.09. Excluding the foreign exchange impact, income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders would have increased 14.4% to $90.7 million and earnings per share would have increased 17.8% to $1.06.  

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, total automotive units retailed increased 11.6%, driven by strength in the company's U.K. operations and acquisitions.  Total same-store units retailed declined 0.4%.  Total revenue increased 5.3% to $5.1 billion, and same-store retail revenue declined 2.2%. Foreign exchange rates negatively impacted revenues by approximately $287.6 million.  Excluding the foreign exchange impact, total revenue would have increased 11.3% to $5.4 billion and same-store retail revenue would have increased 3.7%.  

Commenting on the company's results, Penske Automotive Group Chairman Roger S. Penske said, "Our diversified transportation services business delivered another outstanding quarter of record results despite foreign currency headwinds.  I am pleased to see increases in average gross profit per transaction for new vehicles, used vehicles and finance and insurance when excluding the impact from foreign exchange, coupled with another strong quarter of record results by our U.K. business.  As we look to the future our recent acquisitions combined with the continued performance of our existing business provide a solid foundation for growth and profitability."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules, such as adjusted income from continuing operations and related earnings per share, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). The company has reconciled these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the release. The company believes that these widely accepted measures of operating profitability improve the transparency of the company's disclosures and provide a meaningful presentation of the company's results from its core business operations excluding the impact of items not related to the company's ongoing core business operations, and improve the period-to-period comparability of the company's results from its core business operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for GAAP financial results, and should only be considered in conjunction with the company's financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP.

Caution Concerning Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this press release may involve forward-looking statements, including forward-looking statements regarding Penske Automotive Group, Inc.'s future sales potential.  Actual results may vary materially because of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: economic conditions generally, conditions in the credit markets and changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, adverse conditions affecting a particular manufacturer, including the adverse impact to the vehicle and parts supply chain due to natural disasters, recall or other disruptions that interrupt the supply of vehicles or parts to us, changes in consumer credit availability, the outcome of legal and administrative matters, and other factors over which management has limited control. These forward-looking statements should be evaluated together with additional information about Penske Automotive's business, markets, conditions and other uncertainties, which could affect Penske Automotive's future performance. These risks and uncertainties are addressed in Penske Automotive's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
