MEDFORD, Ore., April 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Lithia Motors & Driveway (NYSE: LAD) today reported the highest first quarter revenue and earnings per share in company history.
First quarter 2021 revenue increased 55% to $4.3 billion from $2.8 billion in the first quarter of 2020.
First quarter 2021 net income per diluted share was $5.81, a 195% increase from $1.97 per diluted share reported in the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted first quarter 2021 net income per diluted share was $5.89, an 193% increase compared to adjusted net income of $2.01 per diluted share in the same period of 2020.
First quarter 2021 net income was $156 million, a 238% increase compared to net income of $46 million in the same period of 2020. Adjusted first quarter 2021 net income was $158 million, a 236% increase compared to adjusted net income of $47 million for the same period of 2020.
As shown in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables, the 2021 first quarter adjusted results exclude a $0.08 per diluted share net non-core charge related to acquisition expenses, net loss on sale of stores, insurance reserves, and a non-cash unrealized investment loss. The 2020 first quarter adjusted results exclude a $0.04 per diluted share net non-core charge due to insurance reserves and acquisition expenses, partially offset by a net gain on sale of stores.
First Quarter-over-Quarter Operating Highlights:
- Total company revenues increased 54.9%
- New vehicle retail sales increased 59.7%
- Used vehicle retail sales increased 54.6%
- F&I per unit increased 13.2% to $1,757
- Service, body, and parts sales increased 22.5%
- Total vehicle gross profit per unit increased 18.7% to $4,392
- Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of gross profit improved by 1220 basis points from 74.8% to 62.6%
"Entering our 75th year in operation, Lithia & Driveway continued to deliver historic operational results driven by our omni-channel strategy and strength in all four business lines. Same store new, used, and F&I revenues were up nearly 30% and service, body, and parts increased slightly when adjusted for one less service day in 2021," said Bryan DeBoer, President and CEO. "The pandemic impacted our first quarter 2020 results only for the last two weeks in March and our team's performance this quarter demonstrates our ability to be the leader in consolidating this highly fragmented industry. As we build on the broadest nationwide network, we continue to expand the reach of our people, inventory, and locations through our national e-commerce home solution Driveway."
Corporate Development
During the quarter, we announced the opening of a previously awarded Infiniti location in Los Angeles, California and completed the acquisitions oftwo stores from the Fields Auto Group in the Greater Orlando, Florida area, Fink Auto Group in Tampa, Florida, and Avondale Nissan in Phoenix, Arizona. In addition, earlier this month we completed one of the largest acquisitions in automotive history with the purchase of The Suburban Collection in the Detroit, Michigan area. These strategic acquisitions added density in key geographic markets and are anticipated to generate $3.1 billion in annualized steady state revenues.
"With a record $6.5 billion of expected annualized revenue acquired in the first nine months of our 5-year plan, we are well ahead of schedule and are only getting started," said DeBoer. "With an acquisition pipeline more active than we have ever seen, we are well positioned to continue to aggressively pursue our goal of achieving $50 billion in revenue and $50 of earnings per share."
Balance Sheet Update
We ended the first quarter with approximately $1.4 billion in cash and availability on our revolving lines of credit. In addition, our unfinanced real estate could provide additional liquidity of approximately $552 million.
Dividend Payment
Our Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.35 per share related to first quarter 2021 financial results. We expect to pay the dividend on May21, 2021 to shareholders of record on May7, 2021.

Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circ*mstances 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 economic and financial conditions (both nationally and locally), including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;
- Changes in customer demand, our relationship with, and the financial and operational stability of, vehicle manufacturers and other suppliers;
- Risks associated with our indebtedness (including available borrowing capacity, compliance with financial covenants and ability to refinance or repay indebtedness on favorable terms);

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 Measures
This 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.
