Lithia & Driveway (LAD) Increases Revenue 20%; Driveway Finance Corp hits June Penetration Rate of 12.9%

Announces Dividend of $0.42 per Share for Second Quarter

MEDFORD, Ore., July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Lithia & Driveway (NYSE: LAD) today reported the highest second quarter revenue and earnings per share in company history.

Second quarter 2022 revenue increased 20% to $7.2 billion from $6.0 billion in the second quarter of 2021.

Second quarter 2022 net income attributable to LAD per diluted share was $11.60, an 8% increase from $10.75 per diluted share reported in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted second quarter 2022 net income attributable to LAD per diluted share was $12.18, a 10% increase compared to $11.12 per diluted share in the same period of 2021. Foreign currency exchange negatively impacted earnings per share by $0.25.

Second quarter 2022 net income was $338 million, a 11% increase compared to net income of $305 million in the same period of 2021. Adjusted second quarter 2022 net income was $354 million, a 12% increase compared to adjusted net income of $315 million for the same period of 2021.

As shown in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables, the 2022 second quarter adjusted results exclude a $0.58 per diluted share net non-core charge related to a non-cash unrealized investment loss and acquisition expenses, partially offset by a net gain on the sale of stores. The 2021 second quarter adjusted results include a $0.37 per diluted share net non-core charge related to a net loss on the sale of stores, insurance reserves, and acquisition expenses, partially offset by a non-cash unrealized investment gain.

Second Quarter-Over-Quarter Comparisons and 2022 Performance Highlights:

Revenues increased 20.5%
Gross profit increased 21.6%
Vehicle gross profit per unit increased 14.7%
Driveway reached 2.3 million monthly unique visitors in June
Driveway achieved over 4,600 transactions in June, 740% increase compared to 2021
Driveway Finance Corp remains the #1 lender to LAD customers with 12.9% penetration rate in June
Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was 58.0%

“The second quarter results demonstrate the diversity and strength across our business lines as we have delivered the highest quarterly revenues in our history,”  said Bryan DeBoer, Lithia & Driveway, President and CEO. “These results directly reflect the team’s outstanding track record of operational excellence and integrating acquisitions, while building a strong finance portfolio and e-commerce business. We are excited about our progress thus far as we are well on our way to achieving our 2025 plan and leading the consolidation of our industry.”  

For the first six months of 2022 revenues increased 35% to $13.9 billion, compared to $10.4 billion in 2021.

Net income attributable to LAD for the first six months of 2022 was $23.15 per diluted share, compared to $16.69 per diluted share in 2021, an increase of 39%. Adjusted net income attributable to LAD per diluted share for the first six months of 2022 increased 41% to $24.14 from $17.15 in the same period of 2021. Foreign currency exchange negatively impacted earnings per share by $0.12.

Corporate DevelopmentDuring the quarter, LAD acquired thirteen locations including Sisley Honda in Thornhill, Ontario; nine Lehman Auto World locations and two Esserman International locations in Miami-Dade County in Florida and Henderson Hyundai and Genesis in Henderson, Nevada. Earlier in July, LAD acquired Elk Grove Ford in Elk Grove, California. Collectively the stores are expected to generate $1.2 billion in annualized revenues. In 2022, LAD has acquired $2.3 billion in annualized revenues and since the announcement of the 2025 Plan in July 2020, $12.7 billion in annualized revenues have been acquired.

“Our operating results continue to perform ahead of expectations, giving us the opportunity to invest further in our network, expand our adjacencies to grow earnings and expand our many competitive advantages,” said DeBoer. “Our balanced approach towards building our business is grounded in our customers’ evolving needs. As we continue to consolidate retail mobility, we deliver returns to our shareholders through a combination of acquisitions, building complementary business lines, dividends and share repurchases.”

Balance Sheet UpdateLAD ended the second quarter with approximately $0.8 billion in cash and availability on our revolving lines of credit. In addition, unfinanced real estate could provide additional liquidity of approximately $1.7 billion.

Dividend Payment and Share RepurchasesThe Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.42 per share related to second quarter 2022 financial results. The dividend is expected to be paid on August 26, 2022 to shareholders of record on August 12, 2022.

In 2022, LAD repurchased 2.1 million shares at a weighted average price of $284.58. Under the current share repurchase authorization, approximately $114 million remains available.

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 the COVID-19 pandemic, 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

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.

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 MeasuresThis 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.
