LITHIA REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER 2017 RESULTS
_____________________________________________________

DECLARES DIVIDEND OF $0.27 PER SHARE FOR SECOND QUARTER

Medford, Oregon, July 28, 2017 - Lithia Motors, Inc. (NYSE: LAD) today reported the highest second quarter revenue and earnings per share in company history, the 27th consecutive quarter of record results.

Second quarter 2017 net income per diluted share increased 5% to $2.12 from $2.01 for the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted net income per diluted share increased 16% to $2.28 from $1.96 for the same period in 2016. Second quarter 2017 net income increased 3% to $53.2 million from $51.4 million for the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted net income increased 14% to $57.2 million compared to second quarter 2016 adjusted net income of $50.2 million.

As shown in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables, the 2017 second quarter adjusted results exclude $0.16 per share in non-core charges related to acquisition expenses and a hail storm insurance reserve. The 2016 second quarter non-core adjustments exclude a $0.05 benefit associated with an equity investment.

Second quarter 2017 revenue increased 16% to $2.5 billion from $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2016.

Second Quarter-over-Quarter Operating Highlights:
Total same store sales increased 3%
New vehicle same store sales increased 1%
Used vehicle retail same store sales increased 4%
Service, body and parts same store sales increased 7%
Same store F&I per unit increased $81 to $1,352
Adjusted SG&A expense as a percentage of gross profit was 67.0%

For the first six months of 2017, revenues increased 14% to $4.7 billion, compared to $4.1 billion in the first six months of 2016. Net income for the first six months of 2017 was $4.13 per diluted share, compared to $3.56 per diluted share for the similar period in 2016. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the first six months of 2017 increased 15% to $4.06 from $3.52 for the first six months of 2016.

"We continue to execute our strategy of acquiring strong franchises that underperform their potential and improving earnings as they season," said Bryan DeBoer, President and CEO. "We increased quarterly revenues 16% and adjusted earnings 14% over last year, driven by our significant acquisition cadence. On a same-store basis, we grew new vehicle sales slightly, increased used vehicle sales over 4%, and grew service and parts over 7%. We recently raised $300 million in senior notes and anticipate deploying the capital for acquisition growth in the future. As we integrate acquisitions and seek to improve their earnings, we increase future cash flow and produce greenfield-like returns."

Corporate Development
As previously announced in May 2017, we completed the acquisition of the Baierl Auto Group in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, comprised of Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Ford, Chevrolet, Acura, Kia and Cadillac locations. On an annualized basis, the Baierl Auto Group is estimated to generate $500 million in revenue and $0.15 in earnings per share. In May, we also opened Portland Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, an open point awarded by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which is expected to generate $80 million in annualized revenue.

Balance Sheet Update
We ended the second quarter with $31 million in cash and $185 million in availability under our credit facility. Additionally, approximately $256 million of our operating real estate is currently unfinanced, which we estimate could provide $192 million in capital, for total potential liquidity of $408 million.






After the end of the second quarter, we completed a $300 million aggregate principal amount offering of 5.25% senior notes due 2025 in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include funding acquisitions, capital expenditures and debt repayment. Pending final application, all or a portion of the $295 million in net proceeds will be applied to reduce indebtedness.

Dividend Payment
Our Board of Directors has approved a dividend of $0.27 per share related to second quarter 2017 financial results. We expect to pay the dividend on August 25, 2017 to shareholders of record on August 11, 2017.

2017 Earnings Guidance
We project 2017 full year earnings of $8.35 to $8.50 per diluted share. This projection is based on the following annual assumptions:

Total revenue of $9.6 to $9.9 billion
New vehicle same store sales increasing 1.0%
New vehicle gross margin of 5.6% to 5.8%
Used vehicle same store sales increasing 5.0%
Used vehicle gross margin of 11.5% to 11.7%
Service body and parts same store sales increasing 7.0%
Service body and parts gross margin of 48.5% to 49.0%
Finance and insurance same store gross profit of $1,325 to $1,350 per unit
Tax rate of 39.5%
Average diluted shares outstanding of 25.1 million

These projections exclude the impact of future acquisitions, dispositions and non-core items. Actual results may be affected by items described under Forward-Looking Statements below.

Second Quarter Earnings Conference Call and Updated Presentation
The second quarter conference call may be accessed at 10:00 a.m. ET today by telephone at 877-407-8029. An updated presentation highlighting the second quarter results has been added to our investor relations website.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "Safe-Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements include statements regarding our goals, plans, projections and guidance regarding our financial position, results of operations, market position, pending and potential future acquisitions and





business strategy, and often contain words such as "project," "outlook," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "estimate," "may," "seek," "would," "should," "likely," "goal," "strategy," "future," "maintain," "continue," "remain," "target" or "will" and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements in this press release include, among others, statements regarding:

Expected operating results, such as improved store efficiency and performance; generating 2017 full year earnings of $8.35 to $8.50 per diluted share and all projections set forth under the headings "2017 Earnings Guidance";
Our ability to improve store performance;
Anticipated acquisition opportunities and additions of dealership locations to our portfolio in the future, and our ability to improve earnings and achieve returns on investments;
Anticipated revenues from acquired and open point stores; and
Anticipated availability of liquidity from our credit facility and unfinanced operating real estate.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events that depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements in this press release. The risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimated or projected results include, without limitation, future economic and financial conditions (both nationally and locally), changes in customer demand, our relationship with, and the financial and operational stability of, vehicle manufacturers and other suppliers, risks associated with our indebtedness (including available borrowing capacity, compliance with financial covenants and ability to refinance or repay indebtedness on favorable terms), government regulations, legislation and others set forth throughout "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. We urge you to carefully consider this information and not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no duty to update our forward-looking statements, including our earnings outlook, which are made as of the date of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the attached financial tables contain non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share, adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue and gross profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted operating profit as a percentage of gross profit, adjusted pre-tax margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, leveraged cash flow and adjusted total debt. 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 present cash flows from operations in the attached tables, adjusted to include the change in non-trade floor plan debt to improve the visibility of cash flows related to vehicle financing. As required by SEC rules, we have reconciled these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the attachments to this release. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures we present improve the transparency of our disclosures; provide a meaningful presentation of our results from core business operations, because they exclude items not related to core business operations and other non-cash items; and improve the period-to-period comparability of our results from core business operations. These presentations should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.
