HOUSTON, July 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Group 1 Automotive, Inc. (NYSE: GPI), an international, Fortune 500 automotive retailer, today reported record second quarter 2015 adjusted net income of $47.9 million, a 19.9 percent increase over the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.98 were also an all-time record for any quarter, and a 34.7 percent increase from the comparable, adjusted prior-year period.

The quarter included non-recurring net after-tax charges of $1.6 million reflecting non-cash asset impairments of $0.8 million, resolution of a prior period legal matter of $0.6 million, losses from flood damage of $0.6 million, and severance costs of $0.2 million, partially offset by a gain on a dealership disposition of $0.6 million. GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share were $46.3 million and $1.91, respectively. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.

"We are pleased to report another record-setting quarter," said Earl J. Hesterberg, Group 1's president and chief executive officer. "The combination of continued solid top-line growth in the United States and the United Kingdom, combined with improved expense leverage, delivered all-time record adjusted diluted EPS of $1.98. We are particularly pleased with our 14 percent increase in both U.S. and U.K. Same Store used vehicle sales and the acceleration of our U.S. parts and service revenue, which was up 8 percent on a Same Store basis. Finally, although overall market conditions have continued to deteriorate in Brazil, the combination of our brand profile and cost cutting initiatives allowed us to deliver a pre-tax profit in that market this quarter, which is an impressive accomplishment by our Brazilian operating team."

Segment Results for Second Quarter 2015 (year-over-year comparable basis)

United States:
The Company's U.S. revenues were $2.3 billion, an increase of 11.0 percent. The revenue growth was primarily attributed to unit sales increases of 6.3 percent in new vehicles and 18.2 percent in retail used vehicles, as well as an increase of 8.3 percent in parts and service revenue. The higher revenue drove U.S. gross profit growth of 8.0 percent, reflecting the higher new and used retail volumes, expanded parts and service gross margins of 90 basis points, and an F&I gross profit increase of 18.2 percent, driven by an increase in both volume and F&I per retail unit of $93 to $1,535.
