Mark F.

During the quarter we saw continuing momentum in both our subscription and transaction businesses, which were accentuated by positive industry trends in automotive sales and credit. Investments that we have been making in our business, including our acquisitions of CFM and VINtek, further bolster our leading position as a technology provider to automotive dealers and lenders. With a broadening product suite, we are in the early stage of realizing our vision to enable a transformation of automotive retailing with our integrated technology solutions. As such, we remain optimistic in our ability to continue driving strong organic growth in the quarters and years ahead.”

 


Updated Guidance for 2013

Dealertrack updated its 2013 annual guidance as follows to reflect its strong third quarter performance and the impact of its most recent acquisitions:

 

Expected GAAP Results

§Revenue for the year is expected to be between $477.0 million and $480.0 million, an increase from prior guidance of between $464.0 million and $468.0 million.
§GAAP net income for the year is expected to be between $7.0 million and $9.0 million, a decrease compared to prior guidance of between $10.0 million and $12.0 million.
§Diluted GAAP net income per share for the year is expected to be between $0.15 and $0.20, a decrease compared to prior guidance of between $0.22 and $0.27 per share.

 

Expected Non-GAAP Results

§Adjusted EBITDA for the year is expected to be between $116.0 million and $118.0 million, and is a $0.5 million increase at the mid-point of our prior guidance of $115.0 to $118.0 million.
§Adjusted net income for the year is expected to be between $57.0 million and $59.0 million, which remains unchanged from prior guidance.
§Diluted adjusted net income per share for the year is expected to be between $1.26 and $1.31, which remains unchanged from prior guidance.

 

The updated guidance reflects the benefit Dealertrack has seen from increased car sales trends in the first nine months of 2013 and what it expects for the remainder of the year. Forecasts for full year car sales remain unchanged at 15.5 million units for new cars and 15.4 million units for used cars. Diluted GAAP net income and adjusted net income per share guidance for the year is based on an estimated 45.2 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding, which is unchanged from prior guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income disclosures are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, stock-based compensation, contra-revenue and certain items, as applicable, such as: impairment charges, restructuring charges, impact of acquisition-related activity (including contingent consideration changes, compensation expense, basis difference amortization, and professional service fees), realized gains on sales of previously impaired securities, gains or losses on sales or disposals of subsidiaries and other assets, rebranding expense and certain other non-recurring items.

 

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of acquired identifiable intangibles, contra-revenue, and certain items, as applicable, such as: impairment charges, restructuring charges, impact of acquisition-related activity (including contingent consideration changes, compensation expense, basis difference amortization, and professional service fees), realized gains on sales of previously impaired securities, gains or losses on sales or disposals of subsidiaries and other assets, adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances, non-cash interest expense, rebranding expense and certain other non-recurring items. These adjustments to net income (loss), which are shown before taxes, are adjusted for their tax impact at their applicable statutory rates.

 

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are presented because management believes that they provide additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and are also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are also presented because the acquisition method of accounting can have a negative impact on our GAAP results because the depreciation and amortization expenses associated with acquired assets, in particular intangibles which tend to have a relatively short useful life, can be substantial in the first several years following an acquisition. As a result, we monitor our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income and other business statistics as a measure of operating performance in addition to net income and the other measures included in our consolidated financial statements. Management believes the adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income information is useful to investors for these reasons. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income is GAAP net income (loss) and has provided a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted net income to GAAP net income (loss) in this press release.
