BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Penske Automotive Group, Inc.
(NYSE: PAG), a diversified international transportation services
company and one of the world's premier automotive and commercial
truck retailers, today announced quarterly results for the first
quarter of 2024. For the quarter, revenue increased 1.5% to
$7.4 billion. Net income attributable
to common stockholders was $215.2
million compared to $298.3
million in the prior year period, and related earnings per
share was $3.21 compared to
$4.31 for the same period in 2023.
Foreign currency exchange positively impacted revenue by
$98.1 million, net income
attributable to common stockholders by $1.4
million, and earnings per share by $0.02.

First Quarter 2024 Performance
The Company's financial
results for the first quarter of 2024 were driven by a resilient
performance in the retail automotive and retail commercial truck
segments. Income before income taxes, net income, and income per
share, however, were negatively impacted by higher interest costs
of $17.4 million, driven primarily by
an increase in interest rates and higher inventory levels which
increased borrowings under our floorplan arrangements combined with
lower equity earnings from the Company's investment in Penske
Transportation Solutions ("PTS"). Lower equity earnings from PTS
were primarily due to lower commercial rental utilization, lower
consumer rental revenue, higher interest rates and average debt
balances, and lower gains from the sale of revenue earning vehicles
partially offset by improved operating results in full-service
leasing and distribution center management when compared to the
same period in 2023.
Commenting on the Company's financial results, Chair and CEO
Roger Penske said, "Our retail
automotive service and parts revenue grew 9% to a quarterly record
of $746 million. During the quarter,
we experienced a recovery across our used vehicle retail automotive
operations with profitability improving sequentially by
$428 per unit retailed. Further, I
was pleased with our focus on controlling costs as selling,
general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross
profit improved by 30 basis points sequentially to 70.7%."
Retail Automotive Dealerships
For the three months
ended March 31, 2024, total new and
used units delivered increased 4% to 126,864, and total retail
automotive revenue increased 3% to $6.5 billion. Same-store new and used units
delivered increased 1% to 122,060, and same-store revenue decreased
1%. Same-store service and parts revenue and gross profit increased
5%. Total retail automotive gross profit decreased 1% to
$1.1 billion, including a 4%
decrease on a same-store basis.
Retail Commercial Truck Dealerships
As of March 31, 2024, Premier Truck Group operated 43
North American retail commercial truck locations. Retail unit sales
declined 12% largely due to the lack of availability of inventory
in the first quarter of 2024 when compared to the same period last
year. For the three months ended March 31,
2024, revenue was $791.8
million compared to $895.6
million in the same period last year while a stronger sales
mix drove a 190 bps increase in gross margin. Earnings before taxes
was $50.5 million compared to
$57.1 million in the same period in
2023.
Penske Transportation Solutions Investment
Penske
Transportation Solutions ("PTS") is a leading provider of
full-service truck leasing, truck rental, contract maintenance, and
logistics services. PTS operates a managed fleet with over 442,000
trucks, tractors, and trailers under lease, rental and/or
maintenance contracts. Penske Automotive Group has a 28.9%
ownership interest in PTS and accounts for its ownership interest
using the equity method of accounting. For the three months ended
March 31, 2024, the Company recorded
$32.5 million in earnings compared to
$80.8 million for the same period in
2023.
Corporate Development, Capital Allocation, Liquidity, and
Leverage
During the three months ended March 31, 2024,
we repurchased 0.2 million shares of common stock for
approximately $32.9 million
under our securities repurchase program. As of March 31, 2024,
$182.6 million remained available
under the Company's existing repurchase authority. As of
March 31, 2024, Penske Automotive had $1.7 billion in liquidity, including $117 million in cash and $1.6 billion of availability under its U.S. and
international credit agreements. The Company's leverage ratio at
March 31, 2024 was 1.1x.
As previously announced, in January
2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Rybrook Group
Limited consisting of 16 retail automotive franchises in the
United Kingdom, including four BMW
franchises, four MINI franchises, four Volvo franchises, two Land
Rover franchises, one Jaguar franchise, and one Porsche franchise.
Three of the BMW locations also retail BMW Motorrad motorcycles.
The acquired dealerships represent estimated annualized revenues of
approximately $1 billion. We also
acquired one Ford dealership and one Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram
dealership in the U.S. Additionally, in April 2024 we signed an agreement to acquire two
Porsche dealerships and one Ducati motorcycle dealership in
Melbourne, Australia with
estimated annualized revenues of approximately $140 million. This acquisition is expected to be
completed in the second quarter of 2024, subject to customary
conditions.
