Our report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the gross percentage of total assets and revenues from six acquisitions excluded from management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 is approximately 3% and 1% of Lithia Motors, Inc.'s consolidated total assets and revenues, respectively. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of these six acquisitions.

 

Our report refers to a change to the Company’s method for reporting discontinued operations.
