Chairman Roger Penske said, “The Company’s third quarter results continue to demonstrate the strength of the auto retail sales environment in both the U.S. and our international markets. We experienced strong new unit sales throughout the quarter, particularly through our volume foreign brands which increased 33.9%, including 30.7% on a same-store basis. Additionally, our retail used vehicle unit sales continue to be very strong, increasing 20.4%, including 13.3% on a same-store basis. I was particularly pleased to see service and parts gross margin improve by 80 basis points to 57.8% and a 1.9% improvement in same-store service and parts revenue.”

Penske continued, “While new and used unit sales were strong, we experienced pricing pressure in our markets, especially when compared to the third quarter last year, when a lack of inventory at our Toyota, Honda and Nissan dealerships drove higher gross profits per unit.”

Actual income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $140.8 million, or $1.56 per share, compared to income from continuing operations of $132.0 million, or $1.43 in the same period last year.

Caution Concerning Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this press release may involve forward-looking statements, including forward-looking statements regarding Penske Automotive Group, Inc.’s future sales potential and outlook. Actual results may vary materially because of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: economic conditions generally, conditions in the credit markets and changes in interest rates, adverse conditions affecting a particular manufacturer, including the adverse impact to the vehicle and parts supply chain due to natural disasters or other disruptions that interrupt the supply of vehicles or parts to us; changes in consumer credit availability, the outcome of legal and administrative matters, and other factors over which management has limited control. These forward-looking statements should be evaluated together with additional information about Penske Automotive’s business, markets, conditions and other uncertainties, which could affect Penske Automotive’s future performance. These risks and uncertainties are addressed in Penske Automotive’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
