CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1
.
Interim Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
These condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain unaudited information as of
June 30, 2020
, and for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements are not included herein. In management’s opinion, these unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information when read in conjunction with our
2019
audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto. The financial information as of
December 31, 2019
, is derived from our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
February 21, 2020
. The unaudited interim condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in our
2019
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326),” which replaces the existing incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. In addition, Topic 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. We adopted Topic 326 using a modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under Topic 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. We recorded a decrease to retained earnings, net of tax, of
$
4.8
million
as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting Topic 326. The transition adjustment is related to updating our allowance for loan loss methodology related to our auto loan receivables. Our methodology incorporates a combination of historical loan loss experience, current conditions and forecasts, as well as the value of any underlying assets securing the receivables.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements,” which provides guidance on accounting for credit losses on accrued interest receivable balances and guidance on including recoveries when estimating the allowance. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, “Targeted Transition Relief,” which allows entities with an option to elect fair value for certain instruments upon adoption of Topic 326.
The impact of adopting Topic 326 on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2020 was as follows (in millions):

Contract Liabilities and Assets
Contract Liabilities
We are the obligor on our lifetime oil contracts. Revenue is allocated to these performance obligations and is recognized over time as services are provided to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is calculated, net of cancellations, using an input method, which most closely depicts performance of the contracts. Our contract liability balances were
$
181.2
million
and
$
171.5
million
as of
June 30, 2020
, and
December 31, 2019
, respectively; and we recognized
$
8.0
million
and
$
16.2
million
of revenue in the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020

December 31, 2019
. Our contract liability balance is included in accrued liabilities and deferred revenue.
Contract Assets
Revenue from finance and insurance sales is recognized, net of estimated charge-backs, at the time of the sale of the related vehicle. We act as an agent in the sale of these contracts as the pricing is set by the third-party provider, and our commission is preset. A portion of the transaction price related to sales of finance and insurance contracts is considered variable consideration and is estimated and recognized upon the sale of the contract. Our contract asset balances associated with future estimated variable consideration were
$
8.2
million
and
$
8.9
million
as of
June 30, 2020

Accounts receivable classifications include the following:
•
Contracts in transit are receivables from various lenders for the financing of vehicles that we have arranged on behalf of the customer and are typically received approximately
ten days
after selling a vehicle.
•
Trade receivables are comprised of amounts due from customers for open charge accounts, lenders for the commissions earned on financing and others for commissions earned on service contracts and insurance products.
•
Vehicle receivables represent receivables for the portion of the vehicle sales price paid directly by the customer.
•
Manufacturer receivables represent amounts due from manufacturers, including holdbacks, rebates, incentives and warranty claims.
•
Auto loan receivables include amounts due from customers related to retail sales of vehicles and certain finance and insurance products.
Interest income on auto loan receivables is recognized based on the contractual terms of each loan and is accrued until repayment, reaching non-accrual status, charge-off, or repossession. Direct costs associated with loan originations are capitalized and expensed as an offset to interest income when recognized on the loans. All other receivables are recorded at invoice and do not bear interest until they are
60
days
past due.
The balance of auto loan receivables is made up primarily of sub-prime loans secured by the related vehicle. More than
97
%
of the portfolio is aged less than 60 days past due with less than
3
%
on non-accrual status. As of
June 30, 2020
, the allowance for credit losses related to auto loan receivables was
$
13.9
million
and included in allowance for doubtful accounts and other non-current assets. In accordance with Topic 326, the allowance for loan losses is estimated based on our historical write-off experience, current conditions and forecasts as well as the value of any underlying assets securing these loans and is reviewed monthly. Consideration is given to recent delinquency trends and recovery rates. Account balances are charged against the allowance upon
9
reaching 120 days past due status. The annual activity for charges and subsequent recoveries is immaterial. The remainder of our receivables are due primarily from manufacturer partners and various third-party lenders. The historical losses related to these balances are immaterial.
The long-term portion of accounts receivable was included as a component of other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Stockholders’ Equity
Repurchases
of Class A Common Stock
Repurchases of our Class A Common Stock occurred under a repurchase authorization granted by our Board of Directors and related to shares withheld as part of the vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). On October 22, 2018, our Board of Directors approved an additional
$
250
million
repurchase authorization of our Class A common stock, increasing our total share repurchase authorization to
$
500

.
Share repurchases under this authorization were as follows:

Fair Value Measurements
Factors used in determining the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad categories:
•
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
•
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk; and
•
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.
We determined that the carrying value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values because of the nature of their terms and current market rates of these instruments. We believe the carrying value of our variable rate debt approximates fair value.
We have fixed rate debt primarily consisting of amounts outstanding under our senior notes and real estate mortgages. We calculated the estimated fair value of the senior notes using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 1) and calculated the estimated fair value of the fixed rate real estate mortgages using a discounted cash flow methodology with estimated current interest rates based on a similar risk profile and duration (Level 2). The fixed cash flows are discounted and summed to compute the fair value of the debt. As of
June 30, 2020
, our real estate mortgages and other debt, which includes capital leases, had maturity dates between
October 31, 2020
, and
August 31, 2038
.
We have derivative instruments consisting of interest rate collars. The fair value of derivative liabilities is measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date and is recorded as current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See
Note 11
for more details regarding our derivative contracts.
We estimate the value of other long-lived assets that are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis on a market valuation approach. We use prices and other relevant information generated primarily by recent market transactions involving similar or comparable assets, as well as our historical experience in divestitures, acquisitions and real estate transactions. Additionally, we may use a cost valuation approach to value long-lived assets when a market valuation approach is unavailable. Under this approach, we determine the cost to replace the service capacity of an asset, adjusted for physical and economic obsolescence. When available, we use valuation inputs from independent valuation experts, such as real estate appraisers and brokers, to corroborate our estimates of fair value. Real estate appraisers’ and brokers’ valuations are typically developed using one or more valuation techniques
11
including market, income and replacement cost approaches. Because these valuations contain unobservable inputs, we classified the measurement of fair value of long-lived assets as Level 3.
There were no changes to our valuation techniques during the
six
-month period ended
June 30, 2020
.
Below are our derivative liabilities that are measured at fair value (in millions):

Goodwill and franchise value for our reporting units are tested for impairment annually as of October 1 or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. During the second quarter of 2020, there were indications of a triggering event at certain locations. We tested the goodwill and franchise value for these locations. As a result, we identified certain reporting units where it was more likely than not the fair value was less than the carrying amount, and recorded non-cash impairment charges of
$
3.5
million
and
$
4.4
million
, which was equal to the difference between the fair value and the carrying value for goodwill and franchise value, respectively. The impairment charges for both goodwill and franchise value reduced the carrying value to
zero
at these locations. The non-cash impairment charges are included in “Asset impairments” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and are reported in the “Corporate and Other” category of our segment information.
Note 8
.
Net Income Per Share of Class A and Class B Common Stock
We compute net income per share of Class A and Class B common stock using the two-class method. Under this method, basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding common shares underlying equity awards that are unvested or subject to forfeiture. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the net exercise of stock options and unvested RSUs and is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The computation of the diluted net income per share of Class A common stock assumes the conversion of Class B common stock, while the diluted net income per share of Class B common stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.
Except with respect to voting and transfer rights, the rights of the holders of our Class A and Class B common stock are identical. Under our Articles of Incorporation, the Class A and Class B common stock share equally in any dividends, liquidation proceeds or other distribution with respect to our common stock and the Articles of Incorporation can only be amended by a vote of the shareholders. Additionally, Oregon law provides that amendments to our Articles of Incorporation that would adversely alter the rights, powers or preferences of a given class of stock, must be approved by the class of stock adversely affected by the proposed
12
amendment. As a result, the undistributed earnings for each year are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B common shares as if the earnings for the year had been distributed. Because the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis.
Following is a reconciliation of net income and weighted average shares used for our basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS (in millions, except per share amounts):

Segments
While we have determined that each individual store is a reporting unit, we have aggregated our reporting units into
three
reportable segments based on their economic similarities: Domestic, Import and Luxury.
Our Domestic segment is comprised of retail automotive franchises that sell new vehicles manufactured by Chrysler, General Motors and Ford. Our Import segment is comprised of retail automotive franchises that sell new vehicles manufactured primarily by Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan and Volkswagen. Our Luxury segment is comprised of retail automotive franchises that sell new vehicles manufactured primarily by BMW, Mercedes and Lexus. The franchises in each segment also sell used vehicles, parts and automotive services, as well as automotive finance and insurance products.
Corporate and other revenue and income includes the results of operations of our stand-alone body shops offset by unallocated corporate overhead expenses, such as corporate personnel costs, and certain unallocated reserve and elimination adjustments. Additionally, certain internal corporate expense allocations increase segment income for Corporate and other while decreasing segment income for the other reportable segments. These internal corporate expense allocations are used to increase comparability of our dealerships and reflect the capital burden a stand-alone dealership would experience. Examples of these internal allocations include internal rent expense, internal floor plan financing charges, and internal fees charged to offset employees within our corporate headquarters who perform certain dealership functions.
We define our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to be certain members of our executive management group. Historical and forecasted operational performance are evaluated on a store-by-store basis and on a consolidated basis by the CODM. We derive the operating results of the segments directly from our internal management reporting system. The accounting policies used to derive segment results are substantially the same as those used to determine our consolidated results, except for the internal allocation within Corporate and other discussed above. Our CODM measures the performance of each operating segment based on several metrics, including earnings from operations, and uses these results, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and to allocate resources to, each of the operating segments.

Leases
We lease certain dealerships, office space, land and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected not to bifurcate lease and nonlease components related to leases of real property.
Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from
one
to
25
years
or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do no contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
We rent or sublease certain real estate to third parties.

Derivative Financial Instruments
We account for derivative financial instruments by recording the fair value as either an asset or liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognize the resulting gains or losses as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. For derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) in stockholders’ equity and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. To receive hedge accounting treatment, cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions.
In the second quarter of 2019, to hedge the business exposure to rising interest rates on a portion of our variable rate debt, we entered into a
5
-year zero-cost interest rate collar, with an aggregate notional amount of
$
300
million
. This instrument hedges interest rate risk related to a portion of our
$
1.2
billion
of non-trade floor plan notes payable.
The gains and losses from the cash flow hedge are recorded in AOCI and released to interest expense in the same period that the hedged interest expense on the floor plan is recognized. As of
June 30, 2020
, we have had a total loss of
$
9.8
million
recorded associated with the fair value of our derivative instrument, included as a component of accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities with the offsets in our deferred tax liability and AOCI. As of
June 30, 2020
, the amount of net losses we expect to reclassify from AOCI into interest expense in earnings within the next twelve months is
$
2.7
million
. The actual amount reclassified could vary due to future changes in the fair value of the derivative. We reclassified
$
0.4
million
from AOCI for both the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, respectively.

The purchase price allocations for the Sacramento Lexus, Roseville Lexus, Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Bend and Nissan of Bend acquisitions are preliminary, and we have not obtained and evaluated all of the detailed information necessary to finalize the opening balance sheet amounts in all respects. We recorded the purchase price allocations based upon information that is currently available. Unallocated items are recorded as a component of other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events
Syndicated Real-Estate Backed Credit Facility
On
July 14, 2020
, we entered into a five-year real-estate backed facility with
eight
financial institutions, including
two
manufacturer affiliated finance companies, maturing in July 2025. The real estate backed credit facility provides a total financing commitment of up to
$
254.7
million
in working capital financing for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and working capital, collateralized by real estate and certain other assets owned by the Company.
The interest rate on this credit facility uses one-month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from
2.00
%
to
2.50
%
based on our leverage ratio, or a base rate of
0.75
%
plus a margin. The facility includes financial and restrictive covenants typical of such agreements, lending conditions, and representations and warranties by us. Financial covenants include requirements to maintain minimum current and fixed charge coverage ratios, and a maximum leverage ratio, consistent with those under the our existing syndicated credit facility with U.S. Bank National Association as administrative agent.

Overview
Lithia Motors, Inc. is a leading provider of personal transportation solutions in the United States and is among the fastest growing companies in the Fortune 500 (#252-2020). As of
June 30, 2020
, we operated
188
locations representing
30
brands in
20
states. Lithia's rapid growth is powered by people, an industry leading coast-to-coast physical network and ecommerce digital home solutions. Lithia increases market share and optimizes profitability by focusing on the consumer experience and applying proprietary performance measurement systems fueled by data science. Lithia’s unique growth model generates significant cash flows, which funds innovation and the expansion of its nationwide network, creating personal transportation solutions wherever, whenever and however consumers desire.
We offer a wide range of products and services including new and used vehicles, finance and insurance products and automotive repair and maintenance. We strive for diversification in our products, services, brands and geographic locations to reduce dependence on any one manufacturer, reduce susceptibility to changing consumer preferences, manage market risk and maintain profitability. These six different business lines, combined with our geographic and manufacturer diversification, provide a resilient, nimble business model.
20
We seek to provide customers a seamless, blended online and physical retail experience with broad selection and access to specialized expertise and knowledge. Our physical network enables us to provide convenient touch points for customers and provide services throughout the vehicle life cycle. We use digital technologies to further activate our physical network and capture additional earnings.
Our long-term strategy and value creation for our customers, employees and shareholders remains consistent with the following elements:
Driving operational excellence, innovation and diversification
We remain focused on improving performance through increasing market share and profitability at each of our locations. By promoting an entrepreneurial model, we build strong businesses responsive to each of our local markets. Utilizing performance-based action plans, we strive to increase market share, drive operational performance, develop high-performing teams and foster manufacturer relationships.
In response to evolving consumer preferences, we pragmatically invest in modernization that supports and expands our core business. These digital strategies combine our experienced, knowledgeable workforce with our owned inventory and physical network of stores, enabling us to be agile and adapt to consumer preferences and market specific conditions. Our investments in modernization are well under way and are taking hold with our teams as they provide digital shopping experiences, contactless test drives and home delivery or curbside pickup for vehicle purchases. Our people and these engines will be powering our future national brands overlaying our physical footprint to attract a larger population of digital consumers seeking transparent, empowered, flexible and simple buying and servicing experiences.
Our performance-based culture is geared toward an incentive-based compensation structure for a majority of our personnel. We develop pay plans that are measured based upon various factors such as customer satisfaction, profitability and individual performance metrics. These plans serve to reward team members for creating customer loyalty, achieving store potential, developing high-performing talent, meeting and exceeding manufacturer requirements and living our core values.
We have centralized many administrative functions to drive efficiencies and streamline store-level operations. The reduction of administrative functions at our stores allows our local managers to focus on customer-facing opportunities to increase revenues and gross profit. Our operations are supported by regional and corporate management, as well as dedicated training and personnel development programs which allow us to share best practices across our network and develop management talent.
Growth through acquisition and network optimization
We anticipate the growth and expansion of our physical network taking us half way to our goal of 5% national market share. We expect that increasing our physical network to between 400 and 500 locations would result in 2.5% market share. This density would allow us the ability to reach most consumers within two hours or less. Our physical network leverages our digital home solutions to complete the goal of 5% national market share. Our value-based acquisition strategy targets underperforming stores with strong franchises in desirable markets. As we integrate these stores into our existing network, we focus on increasing profitability through gaining market share, elevating the customer experience and controlling costs. With our performance management strategy, standardized information systems and centrally- and regionally-performed administrative functions, we seek to gain economies of scale from our network.
We target acquiring domestic, import and luxury franchises in cities ranging from mid-sized regional markets to metropolitan markets. We evaluate all brands for expansion opportunities provided the market is large enough to support adequate new vehicle sales to justify the required capital investment. We focus on successfully integrating acquired stores to achieve targeted returns. Platform acquisitions may include one or more locations which do not meet our criteria. We regularly optimize and balance our network through strategic divestitures to ensure continued high performance. We believe our disciplined approach provides us with attractive acquisition opportunities and expanded coast to coast coverage.
Thoughtful capital allocation
Our capital deployment strategy continues to target a 65% investment in acquisitions, 25% investment in capital expenditures, modernization and diversification and 10% in shareholder return in the form of dividends and share repurchases. This disciplined approach, combined with our ability to successfully integrate newly-acquired locations, drives growth and profitability.

Same Store Operating Data
We believe that same store comparisons are an important indicator of our financial performance. Same store measures demonstrate our ability to grow revenues in our existing locations. As a result, same store measures have been integrated into the discussion below.
Same store measures reflect results for stores that were operating in each comparison period and only include the months when operations occurred in both periods. For example, a store acquired in
May
2019
would be included in same store operating data beginning in
June
2020
, after its first full complete comparable month of operation. The
second
quarter operating results for the same store comparisons would include results for that store in only the month of
June
for both comparable periods.

During the
three months ended
June 30, 2020
, we had net income of
$77.7 million
, or
$3.38
per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of
$61.9 million
, or
$2.63
per share on a diluted basis, during the same period of
2019
. During the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, we had net income of
$123.9 million
, or
$5.32
per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of
$118.3 million
, or
$5.08
per share on a diluted basis, during the same period of
2019
.
New Vehicles
We believe that our new vehicle sales create incremental profit opportunities through certain manufacturer incentive programs, arranging of third party financing, vehicle service and insurance contracts, future resale of used vehicles acquired through trade-in, and parts and service work. Same store new vehicle revenues decreased
23.5%
and
17.5%
, respectively, for the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
compared to the same periods in
2019
. This was due to a decrease in unit volume of
27.4%
and
21.4%
, offset by an increase in average selling prices of
5.4%
and
5.0%
, in the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
, respectively, compared to the same periods of
2019
.
During the second quarter of 2020, volumes were significantly impacted by shelter in place policies and restrictions enacted by various states, counties and local governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the quarter, the impact of the pandemic on each of our markets varied. We experienced initial declines of approximately 50% on average in late March and early April. In our most restrictive states, such as Pennsylvania and Vermont, our locations had few or no sales during those weeks. As restrictions eased during the quarter, new vehicle sales begin to improve with our June same store new vehicle unit sales declining approximately 17% compared to the same period last year.
Same store new vehicle gross profit per unit increased
25.3%
and
13.1%
, increasing new vehicle gross profit margins 110 bps and 50 bps in the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
, respectively, compared to the same periods of
2019
. Pent-up demand and reduced inventory levels related to short-term production closures combined with increased manufacturer partner incentives contributed to these improvements in gross profit per unit.

Used vehicle retail sales are a strategic focus for organic growth. We offer three categories of used vehicles: manufacturer certified pre-owned (“CPO”) vehicles; core vehicles, or late-model vehicles with lower mileage; and value autos, or vehicles with over 80,000 miles. We have established a company-wide target of achieving a per store average of 100 used retail units per month. Strategies to achieve this target include reducing wholesale sales and selling the full spectrum of used units, from late model CPO models to vehicles over ten years old. During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, our stores sold an average of
77
used vehicles per store per month, compared to
72
used vehicles per store per month for the same period of
2019
.
Used vehicle revenues for the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
, increased
3.8%
and
4.7%
, respectively, compared to the same periods of
2019
. On a same store basis, used vehicle sales for the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
, increased
0.5%
and
1.6%
as compared to the respective periods of
2019
, driven by increases in our core vehicle category of
5.8%
and
6.0%
, respectively. Our core vehicle category had growth in unit sales of
4.8%
and
4.4%
, with improvements in average selling price per vehicle of
1.0%
and
1.6%
, offset by decreases in our CPO vehicle category of
11.6%
and
11.2%
, respectively, for the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
, as compared to the same periods of
2019
.
Similar to new vehicles, volumes were impacted by the shelter in place policies and restrictions enacted. Initial declines were similar to new vehicles; however, we experienced improvements during the second quarter of 2020, which accelerated in June when same store used vehicle unit sales grew over 19% compared to the same period last year.
Our used vehicle operations provide an opportunity to generate sales to customers unable or unwilling to purchase a new vehicle, sell brands other than the store’s new vehicle franchise(s) and increase sales from finance and insurance and parts and service.
Finance and Insurance
We believe that arranging timely vehicle financing is an important part of our ability to sell vehicles, and we attempt to arrange financing for every vehicle we sell. We also offer related products such as extended warranties, insurance contracts and vehicle and theft protection.
The
3.2%
decrease in finance and insurance revenue in the
three months ended
June 30, 2020
, compared to the same period of
2019
, was primarily due to decreased volume of financing and third-party extended warranty contracts related to a decline in new vehicle sales. Finance and insurance revenue remained relatively flat in the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, compared to the same period of
2019
. Same store finance and insurance revenues decreased
6.9%
and
4.0%
for the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
as compared to the same periods of
2019
. This was due to decreases in all finance and insurance product offerings, as a result of lower new vehicle sales. On a same store basis, our finance and insurance revenues per retail unit increased
$136
to
24
$1,590
and
$111
to
$1,573
in the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
, respectively, compared to the same periods of
2019
, primarily due to increases in service contract penetration rates of
90
bps and
140
bps, respectively.
Service, body and parts
We provide service, body and parts for the new vehicle brands sold by our stores, as well as service and repairs for most other makes and models. Our parts and service operations are an integral part of our customer retention and the largest contributor to our overall profitability. Earnings from service, body and parts continue to prove to be more resilient during economic downturns, when owners tend to repair their existing vehicles rather than buy new vehicles.
Our service, body, and parts revenue decreased in all areas in the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
, compared to the same periods of
2019
. The decreases in the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
, were primarily related to decreases in customer pay work as a result of the by shelter in place policies remaining in effect. Throughout the second quarter of 2020, we experienced incremental improvement each month as states continue to lift these shelter in place policies. We believe the increased number of units in operation will continue to benefit our service, body and parts revenue in the coming years as more late-model vehicles age, necessitating repairs and maintenance.
We focus on retaining customers by offering competitively-priced routine maintenance and through our marketing efforts. In the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
, the largest contribution to our service, body and parts revenue was same store customer pay revenue of
$141.4 million
and
$303.3 million
, respectively.
Same store service, body and parts gross profit
decreased
18.3%
and
8.6%
in the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
compared to the same periods of
2019
, primarily due to decreases in revenue, but offset by increases in gross margins. Overall same store service, body, and parts gross margins increased
160
and
100
bps, primarily as a result of our mix continuing to shift towards customer pay, which has higher margins than other service work. Same store customer pay gross margins increased
210
bps in both the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
compared to the same periods of
2019
.

The decrease in Corporate and other revenue in the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
, compared to the same periods of
2019
was primarily related to decreased finance and insurance incentives received that were not specifically related to any particular segment, and changes to certain reserves that were not specifically identified with our Domestic, Import or Luxury segment revenue, such as our reserve for revenue reversals associated with unwound vehicle sales, and elimination of revenues associated with internal corporate vehicle purchases and leases with our stores.
Segment income attributable to Corporate and other includes amounts associated with the operating income from our stand-alone body shops and certain internal corporate expense allocations that reduce reportable segment income but increase Corporate and other income. These internal corporate expense allocations are used to increase comparability of our dealerships and reflect the capital burden a stand-alone dealership would experience. Examples of these internal allocations include internal rent expense, internal floor plan financing charges, and internal fees charged to offset employees within our corporate headquarters who perform certain dealership functions. Segment income attributable to Corporate and other also includes gains on the divestiture of stores.
Corporate and other segment income decreased
$2.8 million
and
$8.8 million
for the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
compared to the same periods of
2019
, primarily due to decreases in internal floor plan financing charges.

SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was

and

for the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
72.2%
and

for the same periods of

, respectively. SG&A expense decreased
14.6%
and
4.1%
in the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
compared to the respective periods of
2019
. Overall, SG&A expense decreased primarily due to reduced personnel and advertising costs in the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
compared to the same periods of
2019
. Our performance based culture is geared towards an incentive-based compensation structure for the majority of personnel. This approach allows us to maintain a responsive cost structure in relation to fluctuations in vehicle sales and service volumes and general economic conditions.
On a same store basis and excluding non-core charges, SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was
64.8%
and
69.6%
for the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
69.6%
and
70.0%
for the same periods of
2019
, respectively. The decrease for the
three months ended
June 30, 2020
was primarily related to decreased personnel and advertising costs as a percentage of gross profit. The decrease for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
was primarily related to decreased advertising costs as a percentage of gross profit.
SG&A expense adjusted for non-core charges was as follows (in millions):

and

decrease in floor plan interest expense for the
three and six
-month periods ended
June 30, 2020
, compared to the same periods in
2019
, include decreases of 33.5% related to decreases in same store inventory levels; a 0.1% decrease and 1.5% increase related to divestiture volume, net of increases in acquisition volume; and a 24.6% and 9.1% decrease related to decreased LIBOR rates as compared to the same periods of
2019
, respectively.
Floor plan assistance is provided by manufacturers to support store financing of new vehicle inventory and is recorded as a component of new vehicle gross profit when the specific vehicle is sold. However, because manufacturers provide this assistance to offset inventory carrying costs, we believe a comparison of floor plan interest expense to floor plan assistance is a useful measure of the efficiency of our new vehicle sales relative to stocking levels.
The following tables detail the carrying costs for new vehicles and include new vehicle floor plan interest net of floor plan assistance earned.

Our effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 was positively affected by excess tax benefits on stock awards vesting in the current period and negatively affected by an increase in the current state effective tax rate, primarily due to enactment of the Oregon Corporate Activity Tax beginning January 1, 2020. We estimate our annual effective tax rate, excluding non-core charges, to be 29.0%.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other items, includes modifications to federal net operating loss rules, the business interest deduction limitation, and the bonus depreciation eligibility of qualified improvement property. The income tax impact of the CARES Act was immaterial for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020. We will continue to monitor the potential impacts of this legislation on future periods.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations
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 believe each of the non-GAAP financial measures below improves the transparency of our disclosures, provides a meaningful presentation of our results from the core business operations because they exclude items not related to our ongoing core business operations and other non-cash items, and improves the period-to-period comparability of our results from the core business operations. We use these measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to assess our business, including our compliance with covenants in our credit facility and in communications with our Board of Directors concerning financial performance. These measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.
The following tables reconcile certain reported non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure from our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We manage our liquidity and capital resources to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. We rely primarily on cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities or in capital markets as the main sources for liquidity. We use those funds to invest in capital expenditures, increase working capital and fulfill contractual obligations. Remaining funds are used for acquisitions, investment in innovation, debt retirement, cash dividends, share repurchases and general business purposes.
Available Sources
Cash flows generated by operating activities and borrowings under our credit facility and other types of debt are our most significant sources of liquidity. As of
June 30, 2020
, we had
$120.3 million
in cash,
$361.4 million
in availability under revolving lines of credit, and
$281.9 million
in availability under our used and service loaner vehicle financing commitments. In addition, we also have the ability to raise funds through mortgaging real estate; however, no assurances can be provided that the appraised value of these operating properties will match or exceed their book values or that this capital source will be available on terms acceptable to us.
In addition to the above sources of liquidity, potential sources include the placement of subordinated debt or loans, the sale of equity securities and the sale of stores or other assets. We evaluate all of these options and may select one or more of them depending on overall capital needs and the availability and cost of capital, although no assurances can be provided that these capital sources will be available in sufficient amounts or with terms acceptable to us.
Information about our cash flows, by category, is presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The following table summarizes our cash flows:

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the
six
-month period ended
June 30, 2020
,
increased
$545.6 million
compared to the same period of
2019
, primarily related to a decrease in inventories, offset by a decrease in borrowings of floor plan notes payable, compared to the same period of
2019
.
Borrowings from and repayments to our syndicated credit facility related to our new vehicle inventory floor plan financing are presented as financing activities. To better understand the impact of changes in inventory and the associated financing, we also consider our adjusted net cash provided by operating activities to include borrowings or repayments associated with our new vehicle floor plan commitment.

Many manufacturers provide assistance in the form of additional incentives or assistance if facilities meet specified standards and requirements. We expect that certain facility upgrades and remodels will generate additional manufacturer incentive payments. Also, tax laws allowing accelerated deductions for capital expenditures reduce the overall investment needed and encourage accelerated project timeliness.
We expect to use a portion of our future capital expenditures to upgrade facilities that we recently acquired. This additional capital investment is contemplated in our initial evaluation of the investment return metrics applied to each acquisition and is usually associated with manufacturer standards and requirements.
The increase in capital expenditures for the
six
-month period ended
June 30, 2020
, compared to the same period of
2019
related primarily to higher post-acquisition capital improvements due to an increase in acquisitions in the prior year. We have currently deferred approximately $65 million in planned discretionary capital expenditures. We will continue to evaluate our plans for future capital expenditures to appropriately manage capital and liquidity levels.
If we undertake a significant capital commitment in the future, we expect to pay for the commitment out of existing cash balances, construction financing and borrowings on our credit facility. Upon completion of the projects, we believe we would have the ability to secure long-term financing and general borrowings from third party lenders for 70% to 90% of the amounts expended, although no assurances can be provided that these financings will be available to us in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us.
Acquisitions
We focus on acquiring stores at attractive purchase prices that meet our return thresholds and strategic objectives. We look for acquisitions that diversify our brand and geographic mix as we continue to evaluate our portfolio to minimize exposure to any one manufacturer and achieve financial returns.
We are able to subsequently floor new vehicle inventory acquired as part of an acquisition; however, the cash generated by this transaction is recorded as borrowings on floor plan notes payable, non-trade.

As of

The amount available on the credit facility is limited based on a borrowing base calculation and fluctuates monthly.
3
Available credit is based on the borrowing base amount effective as of
May 31, 2020
. This amount is reduced by
$15.3 million
for outstanding letters of credit.
Credit Facility
Our syndicated credit facility (“credit facility”) is comprised of 19 financial institutions, including seven manufacturer-affiliated finance companies, with a maturity date of January 2025.
We have the option to reallocate the commitments, provided that the used vehicle inventory floor plan financing commitment does not exceed 16.5% of aggregate commitments, the revolving loan commitment does not exceed 18.75% of aggregate commitments, the service loaner floor plan financing commitment does not exceed $100 million, and the sum of these commitments plus the new vehicle inventory floor plan financing commitment does not exceed the aggregate total financing commitment of $2.8 billion. Additionally, we may request an increase in the aggregate new vehicle floor plan commitment of up to $400 million provided that the aggregate commitment does not exceed $3.2 billion. All borrowings from, and repayments to, our lending group are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as financing activities.
Our obligations under our credit facility are secured by a substantial amount of our assets, including our inventory (including new and used vehicles, parts and accessories), equipment, accounts receivable (and other rights to payment) and our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries. Under our credit facility, our obligations relating to new vehicle floor plan loans are secured only by collateral owned by borrowers of new vehicle floor plan loans under the credit facility.
The interest rate on the credit facility varies based on the type of debt, with the rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.10% for new vehicle floor plan financing, one-month LIBOR plus 1.40% for used vehicle floor plan financing, 1.20% for service loaner floor plan financing and a variable interest rate on the revolving financing ranging from the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% to 2.00% depending on our leverage ratio. The annual interest rate associated with our new vehicle floor plan commitment was
1.27%
at
June 30, 2020
. The annual interest rate associated with our used vehicle floor plan commitment was
1.57%
at
June 30, 2020
. The annual interest rate associated with our service loaner floor plan commitment was
1.37%
at
June 30, 2020
. The annual interest rate associated with our revolving line of credit was
1.42%
at
June 30, 2020
.
Under the terms of our credit facility we are subject to financial covenants and restrictive covenants that limit or restrict our incurring additional indebtedness, making investments, selling or acquiring assets and granting security interests in our assets.
Under our credit facility, we are required to maintain the ratios detailed in the following table:
Debt Covenant Ratio
Requirement
As of June 30, 2020
Current ratio
Not less than 1.10 to 1
1.37 to 1
Fixed charge coverage ratio
Not less than 1.20 to 1
2.78 to 1
Leverage ratio
Not more than 5.75 to 1
2.60 to 1
41
As of
June 30, 2020
, we were in compliance with all covenants. We expect to remain in compliance with the financial and restrictive covenants in our credit facility and other debt agreements. However, no assurances can be provided that we will continue to remain in compliance with the financial and restrictive covenants.
If we do not meet the financial and restrictive covenants and are unable to remediate or cure the condition or obtain a waiver from our lenders, a breach would give rise to remedies under the agreement, the most severe of which are the termination of the agreement, acceleration of the amounts owed and the seizure and sale of our assets comprising the collateral for the loans. A breach would also trigger cross-defaults under other debt agreements.
Although we refer to the lenders’ obligations to make loans as “commitments,” each lender’s obligations to make any loan or other credit accommodations under the credit facility is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in the credit agreement including, for example, that our representations and warranties in the agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of each credit extension. If we are unable to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent, we may not be able to request new loans or other credit accommodations under our credit facility.
Other Lines of Credit
Our other lines of credit include a commitment of up to
$20.0 million
, secured by certain assets from select Chrysler locations and a commitment of
$60.0 million
with Ford Motor Credit Company, secured by certain assets from all Ford locations. These other lines of credit mature in
2021
and have interest rates up to
5.72%
. As of
June 30, 2020
,
no
amounts were outstanding on these other lines of credit.
On
July 14, 2020
, we entered into a five-year real-estate backed facility with eight financial institutions, including two manufacturer affiliated finance companies, maturing in July 2025. The real estate backed credit facility provides a total financing commitment of up to
$254.7 million
in working capital financing for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and working capital, collateralized by real estate and certain other assets owned by the Company.
The interest rate on this credit facility uses one-month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from
2.00%
to
2.50%
based on our leverage ratio, or a base rate of
0.75%
plus a margin. The facility includes financial and restrictive covenants typical of such agreements, lending conditions, and representations and warranties by us. Financial covenants include requirements to maintain minimum current and fixed charge coverage ratios, and a maximum leverage ratio, consistent with those under the our existing syndicated credit facility with U.S. Bank National Association as administrative agent.
Floor Plan Notes Payable
We have floor plan agreements with manufacturer-affiliated finance companies for certain new vehicles and vehicles that are designated for use as service loaners. The interest rates on these floor plan notes payable commitments vary by manufacturer and are variable rates.
As of June 30, 2020
,
$292.0 million
was outstanding on these agreements at interest rates ranging up to
6.25%
. Borrowings from, and repayments to, manufacturer-affiliated finance companies are classified as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Real Estate Mortgages and Other Debt
We have mortgages associated with our owned real estate. Interest rates related to this debt ranged from
3.0%
to
5.3%
at
June 30, 2020
. The mortgages are payable in various installments through
August 1, 2038
. As of
June 30, 2020
, we had fixed interest rates on
75%
of our outstanding mortgage debt.
Our other debt, which totaled
$48.0 million
at
June 30, 2020
, includes finance leases and sellers’ notes. See
Note 10
of the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on finance leases.
5.250% Senior Notes Due 2025
On
July 24, 2017
, we issued
$300 million
in aggregate principal amount of
5.250%
Senior Notes due
2025
to eligible purchasers in a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. Interest accrues on the Notes from
July 24, 2017
and is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1. We may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to
August 1, 2020
at a price equal to
100%
of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium set forth in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest. After
August 1, 2020
, we may redeem some or all of the Notes subject to the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. If we experience specific kinds of changes of control, as described in the Indenture, we must offer to repurchase the Notes at
101%
of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
42
4.625% Senior Notes Due 2027
On
December 9, 2019
, we issued
$400 million
in aggregate principal amount of
4.625%
Senior Notes due
2027
to eligible purchasers in a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. Interest accrues on the Senior Notes from
December 9, 2019
and is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15. We may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part, on or after
December 15, 2022
, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. Prior to December 15, 2022, we may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium set forth in the Indenture. In addition, prior to December 15, 2022, we may redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes from the proceeds of certain equity offerings. Upon certain change of control events (as set forth in the Indenture), the holders of the Senior Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the Senior Notes at a purchase price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
There have been no material changes in the critical accounting policies and use of estimates described in our
2019
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on

and
Note 3
of the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information including the impact of our January 1, 2020 adoption of Topic 326 - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and related updates.
Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations
Historically, our sales have been lower in the first quarter of each year due to consumer purchasing patterns and inclement weather in certain of our markets. As a result, financial performance is expected to be lower during the first quarter than during the second, third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year. We believe that interest rates, levels of consumer debt, consumer confidence and manufacturer sales incentives, as well as general economic conditions, also contribute to fluctuations in sales and operating results.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
We are party to numerous legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. Although we do not anticipate that the resolution of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, we cannot predict this with certainty.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
The information in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in our
2019
Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on
February 21, 2020
. We have described in our
2019
Annual Report on Form 10-K, under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A, the primary risks related to our business and securities. We provide below the material changes to our risk factors described in that report.
The novel coronavirus could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in shelter in place orders and widespread travel and transportation restrictions and closures of commercial spaces and industrial facilities in and across the United States and the world, including in the states and regions in which we operate. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen a significant decline in all revenue levels in certain locations. We have modified certain business practices to conform to government restrictions and best practices encouraged by government and regulatory authorities, and implemented risk mitigation plans for critical items and services required to continue our operations. We are monitoring and managing our cash flows and have enacted cost saving measures to respond to the volatile environment. In addition, we continue to assess our capital deployment strategy. However, these measures may not be sufficient to prevent adverse impacts on our business and financial condition from COVID-19.
The declines in sales and service revenue and ongoing disruptions in our operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic have and may continue to adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The degree to which COVID-19 may impact our results of operations and financial condition is unknown at this time and will depend on future developments, including the ultimate geographic spread of COVID-19, the severity and the duration of the pandemic, and further actions that may be taken by governmental authorities or businesses or individuals on their own initiatives in response to the pandemic.
