First Quarter 2018 Supplemental Financial Information
May 8, 2018




KAR Auction Services, Inc.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items of income and expense and expected incremental revenue and cost savings as described in our senior secured credit agreement covenant calculations. Management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about one of the principal measures of performance used by our creditors. In addition, management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The following tables reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the periods presented:

Overview of ADESA Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017
Revenue
Revenue from ADESA increased $30.1 million, or 6%, to $528.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $498.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in revenue was primarily a result of a 7% increase in the number of vehicles sold (5% increase excluding acquisitions), partially offset by a 1% decrease in average revenue per vehicle sold as the mix of vehicles sold online increased as compared to the number of vehicles sold at physical auction. Businesses acquired in the last 12 months accounted for an increase in revenue of $7.0 million. Revenue increased $3.2 million due to fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate.
The increase in vehicles sold was primarily attributable to a 13% increase in institutional volume (13% increase excluding acquisitions), including vehicles sold on our online only platform, partially offset by a 4% decrease in dealer consignment units sold (12% decrease excluding acquisitions) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2017. Online sales volume for ADESA represented approximately 52% of the total vehicles sold in the first quarter of 2018, compared with approximately 44% in the first quarter of 2017. "Online sales" includes the following: (i) selling vehicles directly from a dealership or other interim storage location (upstream selling); (ii) online solutions that offer vehicles for sale while in transit to auction locations (midstream selling); (iii) vehicles sold on the TradeRev platform (TradeRev was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017); (iv) simultaneously broadcasting video and audio of the physical auctions to online bidders (LiveBlock®); and (v) bulletin-board or real-time online auctions (DealerBlock®). Upstream selling, midstream selling and TradeRev sales, which represent online only sales, accounted for approximately 69% of ADESA's online sales volume. ADESA sold approximately 309,000 (including approximately 22,000 from 2017 acquisitions) and 215,000 vehicles through its online only offerings in the first quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively, of which approximately 141,000 and 107,000 represented vehicle sales to grounding dealers in the first quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, dealer consignment vehicles represented approximately

4



41% of used vehicles sold at ADESA physical auction locations, compared with approximately 44% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Vehicles sold at physical auction locations decreased 6% (6% decrease excluding acquisitions) in the first quarter of 2018, compared with the first quarter of 2017. The used vehicle conversion percentage at North American physical auction locations, calculated as the number of vehicles sold as a percentage of the number of vehicles entered for sale at our ADESA auctions, increased to 62.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with 61.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Physical auction revenue per vehicle sold increased $65, or 9%, to $820 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $755 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Physical auction revenue per vehicle sold includes revenue from seller and buyer auction fees and ancillary and other related services, which includes non-auction services and excludes the sale of purchased vehicles. The increase in physical auction revenue per vehicle sold was primarily attributable to an increase in auction fees related to higher average transaction prices and lower margin ancillary and other related services revenue and an increase in physical auction revenue per vehicle sold of $5 due to fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate.
Online only auction revenue per vehicle sold increased $8 to $131 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $123 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in online only auction revenue per vehicle sold was attributable to an increase in purchased vehicles associated with the ADESA Assurance Program and the inclusion of TradeRev sales. Excluding vehicles purchased as part of the ADESA Assurance Program, online only revenue per vehicle would have been $117 and $111 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The remaining $6 increase in online only revenue per vehicle was attributable to increased revenue per vehicle for units sold on the TradeRev platform.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, gross profit for ADESA increased $15.0 million, or 7%, to $222.1 million, compared with $207.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Gross profit for ADESA was 42.1% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with 41.6% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in gross profit percentage was mainly attributable to the increased mix of online only volume. Online only sales have a higher gross profit percentage than physical auction sales.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ADESA segment increased $21.5 million, or 25%, to $108.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $87.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions of $16.3 million, compensation expense of $2.2 million, supplies expense of $1.3 million, bad debt expense of $0.9 million, stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million, information technology costs of $0.5 million and fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate of $0.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in incentive-based compensation expense of $0.8 million.

Overview of IAA Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017
Revenue
Revenue from IAA increased $39.9 million, or 13%, to $337.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $297.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in revenue was a result of an increase in vehicles sold of approximately 9% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Revenue per vehicle sold increased 4% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2017, and included an increase in revenue of $1.1 million due to fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate, partially offset by a decrease of $3.1 million from HBC, which includes an increase in revenue of $1.1 million due to fluctuations in the U.K. exchange rate. IAA's North American same-store total loss vehicle inventory increased approximately 4% at March 31, 2018, as compared to March 31, 2017. Vehicles sold under purchase agreements were approximately 4% and 5% of total salvage vehicles sold for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. North American online sales volumes for IAA for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 represented over 60% of the total vehicles sold by IAA.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, gross profit at IAA increased to $130.6 million, or 38.7% of revenue, compared with $108.3 million, or 36.4% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to a 13% increase in revenue, partially offset by a 9% increase in cost of services, which included costs associated with purchase contract vehicles and organic volume growth. 
Excluding HBC, IAA's gross profit margin was 39.2% and 37.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, HBC had revenue of approximately $9.7 million and $12.8 million, respectively, and cost of services of approximately $7.6 million and $10.9 million, respectively, as fewer of HBC's vehicles were sold under purchase contracts. The entire selling price of the vehicle is recorded as revenue and cost of services for purchase contracts.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses at IAA increased $4.6 million, or 18%, to $30.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $25.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increases in incentive-based compensation expense of $1.1 million, compensation expense of $1.0 million, marketing expenses of $0.7 million, bad debt expense of $0.5 million and other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $1.3 million.

Overview of AFC Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017
Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, AFC revenue increased $13.9 million, or 20%, to $85.1 million, compared with $71.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in revenue was the result of a 20% increase in revenue per loan transaction and a 2% increase in loan transactions, partially offset by a 1% decrease in "Other service revenue" generated by PWI. The increase in revenue and revenue per loan transaction included the impact of an increase in revenue of $0.3 million due to fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate.
Revenue per loan transaction, which includes both loans paid off and loans curtailed, increased $28, or 20%. The decrease in provision for credit losses, which is a reduction of revenue, resulted in an increase in revenue per loan transaction of $8 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The remaining $20 increase in revenue per loan transaction was primarily the result of increases in fee revenue and interest yield as a result of prime rate increases. Revenue per loan transaction excludes "Other service revenue."
The provision for credit losses decreased to 1.6% of the average managed receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from 2.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The provision for credit losses is expected to be under 2%, annually, of the average managed receivables balance. However, the actual losses in any particular quarter could deviate from this range.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, gross profit for the AFC segment increased $12.8 million, or 26%, to $62.8 million, or 73.8% of revenue, compared with $50.0 million, or 70.2% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of a 20% increase in revenue, which includes the decreased provision for credit losses, partially offset by a 5% increase in cost of services. The increase in cost of services was the result of increases in compensation expense of $1.1 million and incentive based compensation expense of $0.5 million, partially offset by decreases in PWI expenses of $0.3 million and other expenses aggregating $0.2 million. The floorplan lending business gross profit margin percentage increased from 76.6% to 79.0%.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses at AFC increased $0.1 million, or 1%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The company believes that the significant indicators of liquidity for its business are cash on hand, cash flow from operations, working capital and amounts available under its Credit Facility. The company's principal sources of liquidity consist of cash generated by operations and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Cash flow from operating activities was $152.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $142.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to increased profitability adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities as a result of the timing of collections and the disbursement of funds to consignors for auctions held near period-ends.
Net cash used by investing activities was $91.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $20.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net cash used by investing activities was primarily attributable to:
an increase in the additional finance receivables held for investment of approximately $51.0 million; and
an increase in cash used for acquisitions of approximately $23.3 million.
Net cash used by financing activities was $41.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $136.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net cash from financing activities was primarily attributable to:
no change in borrowings from lines of credit in the first quarter of 2018 compared with approximately $67.2 million of net repayments on lines of credit in the first quarter of 2017; and
a smaller decrease in the obligations collateralized by finance receivables of approximately $38.0 million;

partially offset by:
a smaller increase in book overdrafts in first quarter of 2018 compared with the first quarter of 2017.

Potential Share Repurchases

The company expects to repurchase some of its shares in the second quarter of 2018, under its current share repurchase program. Repurchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations. The timing and amount of any repurchases is subject to market and other conditions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company provides the following non-GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis: Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and operating adjusted net income per share. Management believes that these measures provide investors additional meaningful methods to evaluate certain aspects of the company’s results period over period and for the other reasons set forth previously.

Earnings guidance also does not contemplate future items such as business development activities, strategic developments (such as restructurings, spin-offs or dispositions of assets or investments), gains/losses associated with step acquisitions, significant expenses related to litigation and changes in applicable laws and regulations (including significant accounting and tax matters).
