Second Quarter Financial Results
-- Income from Continuing Operations Increased 9% --
-- Same-Store Retail Revenue Rose 9%;
Same-Store Retail Gross Profit Increased 7% --
New York, NY, July 28, 2005 - Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: ABG), one of
the largest automotive retail and service companies in the U.S., today reported
financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005.
Income from continuing operations for the second quarter increased 9 percent to
$17.5 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared with $16.0 million, or $0.49
per diluted share, in last year's second quarter. Net income for the second
quarter was $16.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share compared to $14.7 million,
or $0.45 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2004.
For the first six months of 2005, income from continuing operations was $28.0
million, or $0.85 per diluted share, including after-tax costs of $2.2 million,
or $0.07 per diluted share, related to the Company's regional restructuring.
Excluding the restructuring costs, income from continuing operations increased
12 percent to $30.2 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, from $26.9 million, or
$0.82 per diluted share, in the prior year-to-date period. Net income for the
first half of 2005 was $25.6 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, as compared to
$25.1 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the first half of 2004.
Additional financial highlights for the second quarter of 2005, as compared to
the corresponding period a year ago, included:
o Total revenue for the quarter was approximately $1.5 billion, up 12
percent. Total gross profit was $221.4 million, a 10 percent increase.
o Same-store retail revenue and gross profit (excluding fleet and wholesale
revenue) increased 9 and 7 percent, respectively.
o New vehicle retail revenue rose 10 percent (6 percent same-store), and unit
sales increased 7 percent (3 percent same-store). New vehicle retail gross
profit increased 6 percent (3 percent same-store).
o Used vehicle retail revenue increased 19 percent (16 percent same-store),
and unit sales rose 10 percent (6 percent same-store). Used vehicle retail
gross profit increased 12 percent (10 percent same-store).
o Parts, service and collision repair revenue increased 13 percent (11
percent same-store), while the related gross profit rose 10 percent (8
percent same-store).
o Net finance and insurance (F&I) revenue rose 11 percent (7 percent
same-store). F&I per vehicle retailed (PVR) increased 3 percent to $913,
and platform F&I PVR rose 5 percent to $883.
o As a percentage of gross profit, selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
expenses for the quarter were 77.0 percent, compared to 77.5 percent in the
prior year. Excluding rent expense, SG&A expenses were 71.4 percent, down
180 basis points compared to the prior year. Rent expense was higher in
2005 principally due to a sale-leaseback transaction in July 2004 that had
the effect of increasing rent while reducing interest and depreciation
expense.
President and CEO Kenneth B. Gilman commented, "I am pleased with our ability to
achieve solid top and bottom-line results this quarter. During a very
promotional new car environment, which was highlighted by General Motors'
generous "employee discount" program, our business model once again turned in a
solid performance. Of particular note is the performance of our used car
operations where we achieved substantial gains in both same-store retail revenue
and gross profit. We believe these gains can be attributed to earlier programs
put in place to develop this area of the business. Despite this success, I still
believe additional opportunity exists in used cars, especially in the
lower-priced end of the market."
Mr. Gilman continued, "Our services businesses once again turned in strong
performances and, when combined with our used vehicle business, more than offset
continued pressure on new vehicle gross margins. For the quarter, fixed
operations and finance and insurance generated 8 and 7 percent gains in
same-store gross profit, respectively, well ahead of our ongoing objective of 3
to 5 percent increases. Our parts and service business continues to benefit from
our decision two years ago to focus more resources on targeted investments in
people, capacity expansion, new equipment and better training for our service
advisors."
J. Gordon Smith, Senior Vice President and CFO, said, "We remained on track
during the quarter with the implementation of our regional reorganization
program, and have already achieved most of the expected cost savings. We
continue to believe the restructuring will deliver cost reductions in the second
half of 2005 and into 2006, with annualized savings of approximately $0.10 per
share. In addition, cost containment initiatives that were put in place several
quarters ago have begun to yield tangible results, and we believe will continue
to produce additional savings in the future."
Mr. Smith continued, "Portfolio management has been another important focus
during the year. The further streamlining of our dealership portfolio through
the divestiture of under-performing stores eliminates some considerable
distractions and enhances the Company's overall productivity. Specifically,
three stores that we decided to sell in the second quarter of 2005 lost
approximately $0.02 per diluted share during the quarter, which is included in
discontinued operations. The remaining $0.03 loss from discontinued operations
principally relates to stores sold in 2005 but placed in discontinued operations
in 2004. On the acquisition front, we've been a bit selective in our approach,
unwilling to pay above market prices to induce owners to sell. As a result, we
expect the year to come in below the low end of our previously announced
acquisition target of adding $300 million in annualized revenues."
Commenting on earnings guidance for 2005, the Company noted that it has raised
its expected range of estimates for earnings per share from continuing
operations to between $1.74 and $1.80. This range does not reflect the net costs
resulting from the regional reorganization currently estimated at $0.03 per
share, nor the potential adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard 123(R).

ASBURY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(In thousands, except vehicle data)
(Unaudited)
The Company evaluates finance and insurance gross profit performance on a
per-vehicle retailed basis by dividing total finance and insurance gross profit
by the number of retail vehicles sold. During 2003, the Company renegotiated a
contract with a third party finance and insurance product provider, which
resulted in the recognition of income that was not attributable to retail
vehicles sold during the year. The Company believes that platform finance and
insurance, which excludes the additional revenue derived from contracts
negotiated by the corporate office, provides a more accurate measure of the
Company's finance and insurance operating performance. The following table
reconciles finance and insurance gross profit to platform finance and insurance
gross profit, and provides necessary components to calculate platform finance
and insurance gross profit per vehicle retailed.

The Company's operating income was largely impacted by restructuring costs
incurred during the first quarter of 2005 and incremental rent expense
associated with a sale-leaseback transaction that was entered into in the third
quarter of 2004. The Company believes that excluding the restructuring costs and
rent expense from the selling, general and administrative expenses provides a
more meaningful basis to measure the results of the Company's operations
compared to that of the prior year period. A reconciliation of the Company's
adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses is presented below.

The Company defines income from continuing operations as net income less
discontinued operations. We believe that excluding certain items from income
from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
provides a more meaningful basis to measure the results of our operations. A
reconciliation of our net income to adjusted income from continuing operations
is presented below.
