Key
Financial Highlights
Under the guidance of an experienced, highly-motivated management
team, the company is executing an operating strategy that is founded
on standardized processes, industry-leading customer service, disciplined
acquisition growth coupled with the divestiture of underperforming
dealerships to optimize brand mix, and diversity in geographic reach.
The company's continued focus on our customers, successful integration
of acquisitions and flexible operating model has made it possible
for us to achieve the success we have over the last ten years.
2008 Full-Year Results
Group 1 earned revenues of $4.5 billion
and sold
more than 137,000 retail new
and used vehicles in 2009.
Approximately 44 percent of revenues and 80 percent of profits
came from our used vehicle, parts & service and finance &
insurance sales. Group 1 continues to focus on expanding these higher-margin
businesses to enhance profitability and stimulate internal growth.
2009 Acquisition / Disposition Activity
Year to date, Group 1 has acquired five franchises with estimated annual revenues of approximately $108.4 million and has disposed of eight franchises with trailing-12-month revenues of $126.2 million.
Group 1 will continue to monitor the market for reasonably-valued, attractive acquisition opportunities that will add shareholder value, while reviewing its current portfolio to improve or dispose of any underperforming stores.
