Dealertrack Reports First Quarter 2015 Financial Results

 

Reports 59% Year over Year Revenue Growth

Updates 2015 Guidance for First Quarter Performance and Business Success

Lake Success, N.Y., May 8, 2015 – Dealertrack Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRAK) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015. The company achieved year-over-year revenue growth across all business lines, positioning itself for long-term growth and to capitalize on evolving market opportunities.

 

“Our all-time record revenue for the first quarter reflects continuing market demand for our broad suite of software and services, which are driving innovation through integration across nearly every aspect of auto retailing,” said Mark O’Neil, chairman and chief executive officer, Dealertrack. “Dealertrack’s year-over-year organic growth rate of 16 percent provides further evidence of our continuing momentum and the dedication and efforts of our team members.”

 

“We are excited by the strengthening of our OEM partnerships and endorsements. These companies are clearly inspired by Dealertrack’s plan to expand its unique portfolio of solutions into key global markets through our recent acquisition of incadea. OEMs and their dealers are also seeing tangible benefits by deploying our online to in-store integrated solutions, such as Digital Retailing,” said O’Neil.

First Quarter Earnings Conference Call

Dealertrack will host a conference call to discuss its first quarter 2015 results, as well as its 2015 guidance, on May 8, 2015, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The conference call will be webcast live on the Internet at ir.dealertrack.com. In addition, a live audio of the call will be accessible to the public by calling 877-303-6648 (domestic) or 970-315-0443 (international); no access code is necessary. Callers should dial in approximately 10 minutes before the call begins. A webcast replay will be available on the Dealertrack Technologies, Inc. website at www.dealertrack.com.

 

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 expenses and certain other items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating results.

 

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 expenses and certain other items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating results. 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 (loss) 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.
