MEDFORD, OR, Jul 29, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Lithia Motors, Inc. (NYSE: LAD) today reported 2010 adjusted second quarter net income from continuing operations of $0.27 per diluted share. This compares to a 2009 adjusted second quarter net income from continuing operations of $0.22 per diluted share. The results include approximately 4.9 million additional shares in 2010 compared to 2009 primarily due to the equity offering at the end of 2009.
Second quarter 2010 revenue from continuing operations totaled $534 million, compared to $444 million in the year-ago period, mainly driven by improved vehicle sales. Total same store sales increased 19% when compared to the same quarter last year. Same store retail new vehicle sales increased 26% while same store retail used vehicle sales increased 15% when compared to the same quarter last year. Service, body and parts same store sales were essentially flat compared to the same quarter of last year.
Sid DeBoer, Lithia's Chairman and CEO, commented, "Our operational results exceeded our expectations due to a strong April and May. We have focused on maintaining our service, body and parts sales volumes despite fewer units in operation and lower warranty revenues."
As shown in the attached reconciliation table, the 2010 second quarter adjusted results exclude non-core charges of $(0.33) per share on asset impairments and expenses related to reserves offset by gains on disposal of assets, while the 2009 second quarter adjusted results from continuing operations exclude non-core charges of $(0.10) per share on asset impairments, offset by a one-time gain related to debt extinguishment. Unadjusted, net loss from continuing operations was $(1.5) million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to net income from continuing operations of $2.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2009.
In the second quarter of 2010, Lithia recorded an after-tax charge of approximately $(8.0) million, or $(0.31) per share related to real estate held for future development, reflecting continued weakness in local market conditions, increasing vacancy rates, and challenges in obtaining lender financing. This real estate incurs annual holding costs of approximately $0.12 to $0.15 per share.
Commenting on the impairment charges, Bryan DeBoer, Lithia's President and COO, said, "Selling our remaining non-operating real estate allows us to mitigate risk and re-deploy the capital generated. We are acting aggressively to price these assets to sell considering updated market conditions. While it is difficult to sell these assets in the current environment, we believe that it is an attractive time for other investment opportunities."
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, total revenues increased 17% to $993 million as compared to $849 million in the same period last year. Same store new vehicle sales increased 19%, retail used vehicle sales increased 18% and service, body and parts sales decreased 3%. For the first six months, Lithia's adjusted income from continuing operations, net of tax, and excluding non-core charges and gains was $0.37 per share as compared to $0.20 per share in 2009. Unadjusted, net loss from continuing operations for the first six months was $(0.00) per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $0.08 per diluted share for the same period last year.
Selection of Chief Financial Officer
Lithia is pleased to announce that Chris Holzshu will be promoted to Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer upon the departure of Jeff DeBoer at the end of October. Chris has held a number of positions with increasing responsibility at Lithia over the past eight years, most recently as Vice President of Financial Planning and Analysis.
Commenting on the selection, Sid DeBoer stated, "For the last two years, Chris has been responsible for our budgeting and performance monitoring. In this role, he has been focused on identifying opportunities to improve store operations. I am pleased that Chris will continue this focus as our new CFO. Our top priority is improving store profitability, and Chris will deliver on this objective."
Chris joined the Company in 2003 to manage the corporate accounting department, and was subsequently promoted to leadership roles in internal audit / compliance and business development. Prior to Lithia, Chris spent several years working at KPMG LLP, an independent public accounting firm. Chris is a licensed CPA.

Lithia ended the period with $118.2 million in immediately available funds, including $15.4 million in cash, $71.2 million in availability on its revolving credit facility, and $31.6 million in unfinanced new vehicle inventory.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the attached financial tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules, such as adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenues and gross profit, adjusted operating margin and adjusted pre-tax margin adjusted to exclude certain items disclosed in the attached financial tables.

As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which are set forth in the attachments to this release. The Company believes that each of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures improves the transparency of the Company's disclosure, provides a meaningful presentation of the Company's results from its core business operations excluding adjustments for items not related to the Company's ongoing core business operations or other non-cash adjustments, and improves the period-to-period comparability of the Company's results from its core business operations.
