BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI, February 6, 2013 – Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE:PAG), an
international automotive retailer, announced today record fourth quarter income from continuing
operations and related earnings per share. For the fourth quarter 2012, income from continuing
operations attributable to common shareholders increased 19.5% to $51.0 million and related
earnings per share increased 21.3% to $0.57 per share. This compares to income from continuing
operations attributable to common shareholders of $42.7 million, or $0.47 per share in the same
period last year. Fourth quarter results include $1.7 million ($1.2 million after-taxes, or $0.01
per share) in expenses for insurance deductibles and clean-up costs associated with Superstorm
Sandy.

Total revenue increased 17.9% to $3.4 billion, including a same-store retail revenue increase of 11.4% in the fourth quarter. The revenue increase was driven by a 19.3% increase in total retail unit sales, including an 11.5% increase on a same-store basis. Gross profit improved 16.9% to $515.1 million while operating income increased 19.9% to $91.5 million.

Chairman Roger Penske said, “I’m pleased that our retail automotive business reported record profitability in the fourth quarter, producing double-digit growth in operating income, income from continuing operations and earnings per share during the fourth quarter, despite the effects of Superstorm Sandy which impacted operations in the northeast U.S. during the quarter. I am particularly pleased that our same-store retail revenues improved by 11.4% while gross profit per retail unit stabilized, and service and parts margin improved 110 basis points to 58.8%.”

For the year ended December 31, 2012, total revenue increased 18.3% to $13.2 billion. Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders increased 25.8% to $206.0 million and adjusted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders increased 26.7% to $2.28 per share. This compares to adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $163.8 million, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.80 per share in the same period last year.

The full year 2012 results exclude after-tax costs of $13.0 million, or $0.14 per share, of debt redemption costs associated with the redemption of the Company’s $375 million of 7.75% senior subordinated notes due 2016. The full year 2011 results exclude $11.0 million, or $0.12 per share, of net income tax benefits reflecting a positive adjustment from the resolution of certain tax items in the U.K. of $17.0 million, or $0.19 per share, partially offset by a reduction in deferred tax assets of $6.0 million, or $0.07 per share. Income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, was $193.0 million, or $2.14 per share, compared to income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $174.8 million, or $1.92 in the same period last year.

Penske continued, “2012 was a very solid year of growth and profitability for our Company. We expanded our presence globally by completing acquisitions in Northern Ireland and Italy, and we entered the Madison, Wisconsin, market in the U.S. In total, our business added $750 million in estimated annualized revenue through acquisitions during the year, and generated a 9.9% increase in same-store retail revenue, resulting in revenue growth of 18.3%, which contributed to a 23.4% increase in operating income and a 26.7% increase in adjusted earnings per share.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules, such as adjusted income from continuing operations, adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”). The Company has reconciled these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the release. The Company believes that these widely accepted measures of operating profitability improve the transparency of the Company’s disclosures and provide a meaningful presentation of the Company’s results from its core business operations excluding the impact of items not related to the Company’s ongoing core business operations, and improve the period-to-period comparability of the Company’s results from its core business operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for GAAP financial results, and should only be considered in conjunction with the Company’s financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP.

Caution Concerning Forward Looking Statements

These forward-looking statements should be evaluated together with additional information about Penske Automotive’s business, markets, conditions and other uncertainties, which could affect Penske Automotive’s future performance.
