Insights

Market Research Analyst

The full year and fourth quarter financial results of Group 1 Automotive highlight a significant increase in revenues, with a record $17.9 billion for the full year, marking a 10.2% growth over the prior year. This is indicative of the company's ability to grow its top-line in a competitive automotive retail market. However, the increase in revenues did not translate to higher net income, with a 30.6% decrease in the current quarter and a 20.2% decrease for the full year, compared to the previous year.

From a market perspective, the decline in net income suggests margin pressures, particularly noted in the new vehicle segment where gross profit per unit sold has decreased significantly. The reported increase in Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses, particularly in the U.K., where it rose by 7.5% as a percentage of gross profit, further exacerbates the margin compression. These financial metrics are critical for investors as they reflect the operational efficiency and profitability of the company.

Additionally, the company's share repurchase activity, with a significant percentage of common shares bought back over a two-year period, indicates a strategic use of capital to return value to shareholders. The remaining $143.3 million on the authorized share repurchase program shows a commitment to this strategy, although it is subject to market conditions and corporate considerations.

Financial Analyst

The reported decline in net income and earnings per share, despite revenue growth, suggests that Group 1 Automotive is experiencing challenges in cost management and possibly facing headwinds in the automotive market. The specific mention of challenges in the U.K. operations with used vehicles and the intention to reduce U.K. headcount by approximately 10% are strategic moves aimed at cost optimization.

Investors should note the company's performance in parts and service, which continued to show year-over-year growth, contributing significantly to the gross profit. This diversification within the company's revenue streams could be a stabilizing factor and may offset some of the volatility seen in new and used vehicle sales.

It is also important to consider the company's acquisitions, which have added approximately $1.1 billion in expected annual revenues. The integration of these acquisitions and their contribution to the company's overall performance will be a critical factor for long-term growth and shareholder value.

Economist

The automotive retail industry is sensitive to economic cycles and Group 1 Automotive's financial results may reflect broader economic trends, such as consumer spending patterns and interest rate fluctuations. The report indicates higher interest expenses, which could be a result of the rising interest rate environment, impacting both the company's cost of capital and consumer financing for vehicle purchases.

Furthermore, the rebalancing of used vehicle inventory in the U.K. in response to market changes suggests a strategic adjustment to shifting market demand or economic conditions. The potential continuation of losses on used vehicle wholesale sales into the next quarter could be an indicator of a saturated or declining market for used vehicles, which could have broader implications for the automotive sector.

The company's performance, particularly in the U.K., will need to be monitored for its ability to adapt to these economic challenges and maintain profitability in a potentially tightening economic environment.

• Full year revenues reach all-time high of $17.9 billion; a 10.2% increase over the comparable prior year period
• Current quarter new vehicle units sold increased 14.8% over the comparable prior year period
• Current quarter diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations of $7.87 and current quarter adjusted diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) of $9.50

HOUSTON, Jan. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Group 1 Automotive, Inc. (NYSE: GPI) ("Group 1" or the "Company"), an international, Fortune 300 automotive retailer with 199 dealerships located in the U.S. and U.K., today reported  financial results for the fourth quarter of 2023 ("current quarter") and full year 2023 ("current year").

Current quarter net income from continuing operations was $108.8 million. Current quarter adjusted net income from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) was $131.2 million. Current quarter diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations was $7.87. Current quarter adjusted diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) was $9.50. Current quarter new vehicle revenues were a record of $2.3 billion and parts and service continued to produce year-over-year growth.

Current year total revenues of $17.9 billion were the highest in Company history, with growth across all lines of business. Current year total gross profit exceeded $3.0 billion, an all-time record driven by gross profit of $1.2 billion by our parts and service business. In addition, the Company delivered record new and used vehicle units sold for the current year. The U.K. delivered record current year revenues of $3.1 billion, driven by all lines of service and record gross profit, driven by new vehicles and parts and service.

"Our U.S. team produced another strong quarter and full year results. We continue to execute well in this evolving U.S. market. We experienced challenges in our U.K. operations during the current quarter with used vehicles and recognize we have some work ahead of us to bring our costs back in-line with recent trends," said Daryl Kenningham, Group 1's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are focused on reducing costs in the U.K. in the first quarter of 2024, with an expectation of reducing our U.K. headcount by approximately 10%."

Reconciliations for financial results, non-GAAP metrics, and diluted earnings per common share between  continuing and discontinued operations are included in the accompanying financial tables.

Current Quarter Results Overview

Total revenues for the current quarter were $4.5 billion, a 10.1% increase compared to $4.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2022 ("prior year quarter").

Net income from continuing operations for the current quarter was $108.8 million, a 30.6% decrease compared to $156.7 million for the prior year quarter. Current quarter adjusted net income from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) was $131.2 million, a 17.2% decrease compared to $158.4 million for the prior year quarter.

Current quarter diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations was $7.87, a 26.8% decrease compared to $10.75 for the prior year quarter. Current quarter adjusted diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) was $9.50, a 12.6% decrease compared to $10.86 for the prior year quarter.

New vehicle units sold increased 14.8%. However, declining new vehicle margins, increased SG&A as a percentage of gross profit and higher interest expense pressured net income and earnings per common share versus the prior year quarter. Specifically, SG&A as a percentage of gross profit increased 7.5% in the U.K., driven by higher SG&A expenses and lower margins on new and used vehicles. During the current quarter, our U.K. operations began a rebalancing of our used vehicle inventory in response to market changes, which generated losses on used vehicle wholesale sales in the current quarter, which are expected to continue into the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024. Despite the current quarter challenges, our U.K. team, delivered record current year revenues, driven by all lines of service and record gross profit, driven by new vehicles and parts and service.

Full Year 2023 Results Overview

Current year total revenues were a record $17.9 billion, a 10.2% increase compared to $16.2 billion for the full year 2022 ("prior year").

Current year net income from continuing operations was $602.0 million, a 20.2% decrease compared to $754.2 million for the prior year. Current year adjusted net income from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) was $623.3 million, a 14.5% decrease compared to $728.7 million for the prior year.

Current year diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations was $42.75, a 9.6% decrease compared to $47.31 for the prior year. Current year adjusted diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) was $44.27, a 3.2% decrease compared to $45.71 for the prior year. Current year and prior year adjusted diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations exclude adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per common share from discontinued operations of $(0.03) and $0.14, respectively.

As a result of lower new and used vehicle margins, increased SG&A expenses, and higher interest costs, net income and earnings per common share were adversely impacted versus the prior year.

Corporate Development

A major contributor to our success and a driver of incremental value creation for our shareholders is the speed and efficiency at which we have been able to integrate new acquisitions into our existing operations. In the current year, the Company successfully acquired and integrated dealership operations with total expected annual revenues of approximately $1.1 billion, including the resolution in the current quarter of the previously pending acquisition of a Subaru dealership in New Hampshire. This acquisition is expected to generate $65.0 million of annual revenues.

In the current quarter, the Company disposed of a Land Rover and Volvo dealership in Louisiana. These dealerships generated approximately $45.0 million in annual revenues.

Share Repurchases

During the current quarter, the Company repurchased 160,968 shares at an average price per common share of $262.25, for a total of $42.2 million, excluding excise taxes of $0.4 million. During the current year, the Company repurchased 729,582 shares, representing approximately 5.1% of the Company's outstanding common shares at January 1 of the current year, at an average price per common share of $236.78, for a total of $172.8 million, excluding excise taxes of $1.5 million. During the period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 3,750,605 shares, at an average price per common share of $185.04, for a total of $694.0 million, representing approximately 21.8% of the common shares outstanding at the commencement of the period.

While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. Any such forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, (a) general economic and business conditions, (b) the level of manufacturer incentives, (c) the future regulatory environment, (d) our ability to obtain an inventory of desirable new and used vehicles, (e) our relationship with our automobile manufacturers and the willingness of manufacturers to approve future acquisitions, (f) our cost of financing and the availability of credit for consumers, (g) our ability to complete acquisitions and dispositions, on a timely basis, if at all and the risks associated therewith, (h) foreign exchange controls and currency fluctuations, (i) the armed conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, (j) the impacts of any potential global recession, (k) our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to operate, and (l) our ability to successfully integrate recent and future acquisitions.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES, SAME STORE DATA, AND OTHER DATA

In addition to evaluating the financial condition and results of our operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP, from time to time our management evaluates and analyzes results and any impact on the Company of strategic decisions and actions relating to, among other things, cost reduction, growth, profitability improvement initiatives, and other events outside of normal, or "core," business and operations, by considering alternative financial measures not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In our evaluation of results from time to time, we exclude items that do not arise directly from core operations, such as non-cash asset impairment charges, out-of-period adjustments, legal matters, gains and losses on dealership franchise or real estate transactions, and catastrophic events, such as hailstorms, hurricanes, and snow storms. Because these non-core charges and gains materially affect the Company's financial condition or results in the specific period in which they are recognized, management also evaluates, and makes resource allocation and performance evaluation decisions based on, the related non-GAAP measures excluding such items. This includes evaluating measures such as adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and constant currency. These adjusted measures are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, but are instead considered non-GAAP financial performance measures. Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under U.S. GAAP and may be defined differently by, and not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by, other companies. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures considered and evaluated by management are reviewed in conjunction with a review of the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

In addition to using such non-GAAP measures to evaluate results in a specific period, management believes that such measures may provide more complete and consistent comparisons of operational performance on a period-over-period historical basis and a better indication of expected future trends. Our management also uses these adjusted measures in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures to assess our business, including communication with our Board of Directors, investors, and industry analysts concerning financial performance. We disclose these non-GAAP measures, and the related reconciliations, because we believe investors use these metrics in evaluating longer-term period-over-period performance, and to allow investors to better understand and evaluate the information used by management to assess operating performance. The exclusion of certain expenses in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent. We anticipate excluding these expenses in the future presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures.

In addition, we evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our underlying business and results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our current period reported results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars using comparative period exchange rates rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. The constant currency performance measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Same Store amounts presented include the results of dealerships for the identical months in each period presented in comparison, commencing with the first full month in which the dealership was owned by us and, in the case of dispositions, ending with the last full month it was owned by us. Same Store results also include the activities of our corporate headquarters.

Certain amounts in the financial statements may not compute due to rounding. All computations have been calculated using unrounded amounts for all periods presented.
