Overview
We are a leading operator in the automotive retail industry. Through our
dealerships, we sell new and used cars and light trucks; arrange related vehicle
financing; sell service and other insurance contracts; provide automotive
maintenance and repair services; and sell vehicle parts. Our operations are
aligned into three regions, which comprise our reportable segments: (1) U.S.,
(2) U.K. and (3) Brazil. The U.S. and Brazil segments are led by the President,
U.S. and Brazilian Operations, and the U.K segment is led by a Managing
Director, each reporting directly to our Chief Executive Officer. The President,
U.S. and Brazilian Operations, and the U.K Managing Director are responsible for
the overall performance of their respective regions, as well as for overseeing
field level management. The U.S. segment includes the activities of our
corporate office.
As of June 30, 2020, our retail network consisted of 119 dealerships in the
U.S., 50 dealerships in the U.K. and 17 dealerships in Brazil. Our operations
are primarily located in major metropolitan areas in 15 states in the U.S., 33
towns in the U.K. and three states in Brazil.
Long-Term Strategy
Our business strategy primarily focuses on the performance of our existing
dealerships to achieve growth, capture market share and maximize the investment
return to our stockholders. We are also focused on enhancing our dealership
portfolio through strategic acquisitions and dispositions. We constantly
evaluate opportunities to improve the overall profitability of our dealerships.
Our long-term strategic areas of emphasis include:
Digital Initiatives to Enhance the Customer Experience
Our digital initiatives focus on ensuring that we can do business with our
customers where and when they want to do business. Our online new and used
vehicle retail platform, AcceleRide®, which was deployed to all of our U.S.
dealerships in 2019, allows a customer to complete a vehicle transaction
entirely online or start the sales process online and complete the transaction
at our dealerships. In addition, our parts and service digital efforts focus on
our online customer scheduling appointment system. We have seen continued growth
in the percentage of appointments scheduled online over the past few years as we
have continued to enhance this tool. These digital platforms were instrumental
in allowing us to connect with and service our customers during the restricted
social distancing environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the
second quarter of 2020, AcceleRide® sales were up 190% from a year ago.
Used Vehicle Retail Growth
•      Gross profit from the sale of used vehicles depends primarily on a

dealership's ability to obtain a high-quality supply of used vehicles at

reasonable prices. Our new vehicle operations generally provide our used

vehicle operations with a large supply of high-quality trade-ins and

off-lease vehicles, which are our best source of used vehicle inventory.

Our dealerships supplement their used vehicle inventory with direct

purchases from customers, purchases at auctions, including

manufacturer-sponsored auctions available only to franchised dealers.




•      Our data-driven pricing strategies ensure that our used vehicles are
       priced at market to generate more traffic to our websites. We review our
       market pricing on a regular basis and work to limit discounting from our
       advertised prices.

• We will continue efforts to expand our "Val-U-Line®" sales program, a


       strategic used vehicle initiative that targets a growing customer niche
       and enables us to retail lower cost, higher mileage units that would
       otherwise have been sent to auction. The Val-U-Line® initiative is

expected to increase used retail volume by leveraging our scale, internal

on-line buying center, internal auction capability and transportation


       infrastructure.


Parts and Service Growth
We remain focused on sustained growth in our higher margin parts and service
operations which continue to hinge on the retention and hiring of service
technicians and advisors. Our four-day work week implemented in 2019 has allowed
us to extend our hours of operations and increase service technicians and
advisors retention, thereby expanding our service capacity without investing
additional capital in facilities. We seek to increase the retention of our
customers through more convenient service hours, training of our service
advisors, selling service contracts with vehicles sales and customer
relationship management software that allows us to provide target marketing to
our customers. The increasing complexity of vehicles, especially in the area of
electronics and technological advancements, is making it difficult for
independent repair shops to retain the expertise and technology to work on these
vehicles and provides us the opportunity to increase our market share.

Cost Management
We continue our efforts to fully leverage our scale and cost structure. As our
business evolves, we will manage our costs carefully and look for additional
opportunities to improve our processes and disseminate best practices.
Additionally, see "COVID-19 Pandemic" section below for specific cost-cutting
measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that our management
structure supports more rapid decision making and facilitates an efficient and
effective roll-out of new processes.
Employee training and retention
A key to the execution of our business strategy is the leverage of what we
believe to be one of our key strengths - the talent of our people. We are
focused on the retention and training of our talented dealership employees. We
believe that we have developed a distinguished management team with substantial
industry expertise. With our management structure and level of executive talent,
we plan to continue empowering the operators of our dealerships to make
appropriate decisions to grow their respective dealership operations and to
control fixed and variable costs. We believe this approach allows us to provide
the best possible service to our customers, as well as attract and retain
talented employees.
Strategic Acquisitions and Dispositions
We will continue to focus on opportunities to enhance our current dealership
portfolio through strategic acquisitions and improving or disposing of
underperforming dealerships. We believe that substantial opportunities for
growth through acquisitions remain in our industry in the U.S., the U.K. and
Brazil upon an economic recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Further, we intend to continue to critically evaluate our return on invested
capital in our current dealership portfolio for disposition opportunities.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Since emerging in December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has spread globally,
including to all of our markets in the U.S., U.K. and Brazil, significantly
impacting our operating results starting in March 2020. There have been
extraordinary and wide-ranging actions taken by international, federal, state
and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the
outbreak and spread of COVID-19 across the world, including mandates for many
individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses
to curtail or cease normal operations. Beginning in mid-March 2020, these
measures significantly reduced operating capacity of all of our dealerships in
the U.S., the U.K. and Brazil. The primary COVID-19 impacts on our global
business and our response to date include:
U.S.
Virtually all of our U.S. dealerships are located in markets that operated in
some form of restricted social distancing environments in accordance with
applicable state and local orders during most of March 2020 and April 2020. As
the market shutdowns began, March 2020 U.S. sales dropped sharply from February
2020, with new and used retail unit sales dropping approximately 50% and service
repair orders also declining by approximately 50% for the last two weeks of
March 2020 compared to the last two weeks of March 2019 and the first two weeks
of April 2020 compared to the first two weeks of April 2019. In early May 2020,
as restricted social distancing environment policies began to be partially
lifted, our used vehicle business returned to near normal levels and our new
vehicle sales pace started improving. Near the end of the quarter, our new
vehicle sales pace started improving, however the recovery of new vehicle sales
was limited as a result of low inventory levels due to reduced OEM production
rates. Beginning in mid-April 2020, we saw continued improvement in our parts
and service business as well. Our online selling platform AcceleRide® and our
online service scheduling platforms continue to show increased utilization rates
which are likely to continue in a restricted social distancing environment.
U.K.
U.K. vehicle sales levels were well above prior year levels in most of our
brands through February 2020. March, which is a plate change month, is one of
the largest selling months of the year with many vehicles delivered from orders
placed in January 2020 and February 2020. Due to the closure of our facilities
and various business restrictions put in place as a result of a shut-down order
from the government, we were not able to deliver approximately 35% of our
vehicles at the end of March 2020 that we had contracted to sell prior to the
shut-down restrictions, and most were delivered at the end of June 2020. We
closed all of our U.K. dealerships from late March 2020 through May 18, 2020 for
service, with the exception of emergency vehicle repairs. Our vehicle showrooms
were closed for more than two months and did not reopen until June 1, 2020.
Operations in the U.K. significantly improved in June 2020 as vehicle sales and
service operations reopened.
Brazil
Effective March 20, 2020, all of our dealerships were required to close. While
our service centers reopened and operated throughout the second quarter, our
showrooms did not reopen until May 2020 and operated at reduced hours. Despite
operations resuming in Brazil, the recovery has been limited as the impacts of
COVID-19 are still impacting operations significantly.

Cost-Cutting Actions
In all regions we have taken aggressive actions to reduce costs and preserve
liquidity, with approximately 8,000 employees furloughed or terminated in early
April 2020. As sales have improved in the U.S. and U.K., we have been able to
return some of the furloughed employees to a point where our U.S. and U.K.
headcounts are approximately 70% of our pre-COVID levels. In addition, other
measures have been implemented and have significantly reduced costs in all three
regions including reductions of as much as 50% in management compensation, 100%
of Board of Directors' cash compensation, over 75% reduction in advertising
expense and cuts across all other cost categories. Additionally, as announced in
April 2020, we suspended our dividend and canceled our share repurchase program,
as well as implemented capital expenditure deferrals. As discussed in "Liquidity
and Capital Resources," we have sufficient liquidity currently and do not
anticipate any material liquidity constraints or issues with our ability to
remain in compliance with debt covenants.
While the potential long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to
predict, we expect our used vehicle and service operations in the third quarter
to return to prior year levels. Reduced new vehicle inventory levels in the U.S.
and U.K. will likely persist until the fourth quarter and will limit the
recovery in new vehicle unit sales in the third quarter. The demand outlook
remains uncertain and difficult to predict given the recent increases in cases
in the U.S. and Brazil, however we will remain vigilant and are prepared to
adjust our cost structure to adapt to the market conditions. While some of the
cost reductions taken in the first and second quarters will be reinstated if
market conditions continue to improve, we expect to be more cost efficient going
forward. Any potential impact will depend on future developments and new
information that may emerge regarding the severity and duration of the COVID-19
pandemic and the actions taken by authorities to contain it or treat its impact,
all of which are beyond our control.
Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions.
For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies and accounting
estimates, please see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" in our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Results of Operations
The "same store" amounts presented below include the results of dealerships and
corporate headquarters for the identical months in each period presented in
comparison, commencing with the first full month in which the dealership was
owned by us and, in the case of dispositions, ending with the last full month it
was owned by us. For example, for a dealership acquired on August 15, 2020, the
results from this dealership will appear in our same store comparison beginning
in 2021 for the period September 2021 through December 2021, when comparing to
September 2020 through December 2020 results. If we disposed of a store on
August 15, 2020, the results from this store would be excluded from same store
results beginning in August 2020 as July 2020 was the last full month the
dealership was owned by us. Same store results provide a measurement of our
ability to grow revenues and profitability of our existing stores and also
provide a metric for peer group comparisons. For these reasons, same store
results allow management to manage and monitor the performance of the business
and is also useful to investors.
We evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant
currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure,
excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We
believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental
information regarding our underlying business and results of operations,
consistent with how we evaluate our performance. We calculate constant currency
percentages by converting our current period reported results for entities
reporting in currencies other than USD using comparative period exchange rates
rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.
The constant currency performance measures should not be considered a substitute
for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, we caution investors not to place undue
reliance on non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly
comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Our management also uses constant currency and
adjusted cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in
conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures to assess our business, including
communication with our Board of Directors, investors and industry analysts
concerning financial performance. We disclose these non-GAAP measures, and the
related reconciliations, because we believe investors use these metrics in
evaluating longer-term period-over-period performance, and to allow investors to
better understand and evaluate the information used by management to assess
operating performance.
Certain disclosures are reported as zero balances, or may not compute, due to
rounding.

The following discussion of our U.S. operating results is on a same store basis.
The difference between reported amounts and same store amounts is related to
acquisition and disposition activity, as well as new add-point openings. Our
U.S. dealership operations have been impacted by the reduced demand caused by
the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions put in place by local governments to
contain the virus.
Revenues
Total revenues in the U.S. during the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$447.6 million, or 19.6%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Total same
store revenues in the U.S. during the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$472.4 million, or 20.8%, as compared to the same period in 2019, driven by
declines in all of our revenue streams. The declines of 24.2% in new vehicle
retail same store sales, 14.9% in used vehicle retail same store sales and 31.2%
in used vehicle wholesale same store sales were driven by decreases of 28.5%,
14.8% and 24.3% in new vehicle, used vehicle retail and used vehicle wholesale
unit sales, respectively. The declines in new and used vehicle retail and used
vehicle wholesale unit sales were related to reduced demand at our dealerships
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing inventory shortages later in the
quarter as OEMs struggled to restart factories closed because of the pandemic.
Despite the challenges faced during the quarter, our recent online new and used
vehicle sales initiative, AcceleRide® was instrumental in allowing us to connect
with and serve our customers throughout the restricted social distancing
environment impacting all of our markets at varying times throughout the second
quarter. During the second quarter of 2020, AcceleRide® sales were up 190% from
a year ago. Parts and service same store revenues decreased 19.0% driven by a
14.1% decline in customer pay revenues, a 35.2% decline in collision revenues, a
23.2% decline in warranty revenues and a 14.9% decline in wholesale parts
revenues. Parts and service same store revenues declined compared to the same
period last year due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic during the quarter.
F&I same store revenues decreased 19.1%, driven by a 21.6% decline in same store
total retail unit sales coupled with a decline in income per contract on finance
and vehicle services contracts which were partially offset by a decline in our
overall chargeback experience and higher penetration rates on many of our
finance and insurance product offerings.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit in the U.S. during the three months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $52.2 million, or 13.9%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Total
same store gross profit in the U.S. during the three months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $56.6 million, or 15.1%, as compared to the same period in 2019. The
decrease in same store gross profit was driven by declines in parts and service,
F&I and used vehicle retail gross profit partially offset by increases in new
vehicle retail and used vehicle wholesale gross profit compared to the same
period last year. New vehicle same store gross profit increased 0.2% driven by a
40.1% increase in new vehicle gross profit per unit sold which more than offset
a 28.5% decrease in same store new vehicle retail unit sales. The increase in
same store new vehicle gross profit per unit sold reflects increased incentives
provided by the manufacturers and supply constraints as many manufacturers put a
hold on production due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Used vehicle retail same store
gross profit decreased 7.1% reflecting a 14.8% decrease in used vehicle retail
same store unit sales partially offset by an increase of 9.0% in used vehicle
retail same store gross profit per unit sold over the same period in 2019. The
increase in used vehicle retail same store gross profit per unit sold reflects
supply constraints as the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our ability
to obtain used vehicle inventory. Used vehicle wholesale gross profit increased
73.9% as industry supply constraints drove up auction prices. Parts and service
same store gross profit and F&I same store gross profit declined by 20.0% and
19.1%, respectively, driven by the decreases discussed above. Total same store
gross margin increased 120 basis points driven by higher vehicle prices as a
result of supply shortages of new and used vehicle inventory.
SG&A Expenses
Our SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries,
commissions and incentive-based compensation, as well as rent and facility
costs, advertising and other expenses, which include legal, professional fees
and general corporate expenses. Total SG&A expenses in the U.S. during the three
months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $64.8 million, or 24.2%, as compared to the
same period in 2019. Total same store SG&A expenses in the U.S. during the three
months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $67.1 million, or 25.2%, as compared to the
same period in 2019. Our U.S. dealership operations were directly impacted by
reduced demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to reduce costs, we
furloughed and terminated employees and significantly reduced advertising,
outside services and other SG&A expenses. Total same store SG&A expenses in the
U.S. in the second quarter of 2019 included $4.0 million in net costs associated
with a hailstorm in Texas. Total same store SG&A expenses in the U.S. in second
quarter of 2020 included a $10.6 million expense for an out-of-period adjustment
related to stock-based compensation. Total same store SG&A as a percent of gross
profit decreased 850 basis points compared to the same period in 2019 to 62.6%
driven by the cost cutting measures taken to offset the negative impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic.

The following discussion of our U.S. operating results is on a same store basis.
The difference between reported amounts and same store amounts is related to
acquisition and disposition activity, as well as new add-point openings. Our
U.S. dealership operations have been significantly impacted by the reduced
demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions put in place by
local governments to contain the virus.
Revenues
Total revenues in the U.S. during the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$502.8 million, or 11.6%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Total same
store revenues in the U.S. during the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$545.2 million, or 12.7%, as compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease
in U.S. same store revenues was driven by declines in all of our revenue
streams. The declines of 15.4% in new vehicle retail same store sales, 10.1% in
used vehicle retail same store sales and 10.3% in used vehicle wholesale same
store sales were driven by declines of 18.8%, 10.3% and 12.0% in new vehicle,
used vehicle retail and used vehicle wholesale unit sales, respectively,
reflecting reduced demand at our dealerships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and
inventory shortages. Partially offsetting these declines, our recent online new
and used vehicle sales initiative, AcceleRide® was instrumental in allowing us
to connect with and serve our customers throughout the restricted social
distancing environment impacting all of our markets at varying times. Parts and
service same store revenues decreased 9.0% driven by a 15.1% decrease in
warranty revenues, a 6.0% decrease in customer-pay revenues, a 15.4% decrease in
collision revenues, and a 4.9% decrease in wholesale parts revenues. Parts and
service same store revenues were up 8.4% at the end of February 2020 compared to
the same period last year but were dampened by the impacts of COVID-19 for the
remaining months through June 30, 2020. F&I same store revenues decreased 9.7%
driven by a 14.5% decrease in same store retail unit sales as discussed above,
which was partially offset by higher penetration rates on many of our finance
and insurance product offerings and a decline in our overall chargeback
experience.
Gross profit
Total gross profit in the U.S. during the six months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $58.2 million, or 8.0%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Total
same store gross profit in the U.S. during the six months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $66.7 million, or 9.3%, as compared to the same period in 2019.The
decrease in total gross profit was driven by decreases in all of our operations
except for used vehicle wholesale. New vehicle retail same store gross profit
decreased 5.0% driven by an 18.8% decrease in new vehicle unit sales partially
offset by a 17.0% increase in same store new vehicle gross profit per unit sold.
The increase in same store new vehicle gross profit per unit sold was related to
supply constraints of new vehicle inventory as many manufacturers put a hold on
production due to COVID-19. The 12.3% decrease in same store used vehicle retail
gross profit was related to a 10.3% decline in used vehicle retail unit sales
coupled with a 2.2% decrease in used vehicle retail same store average gross
profit per unit sold. The decline in used vehicle retail same store gross profit
was related to the reduced demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Parts and
service same store gross profit and F&I same store gross profit decreased 9.8%
and 9.7%, respectively, driven by decreases described above. Total same store
gross margin increased 60 basis points primarily as a result of higher new
vehicle margins related to the supply constraints of inventory in the industry.
SG&A Expenses
Our SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries,
commissions and incentive-based compensation, as well as rent and facility
costs, advertising and other expenses, which include legal, professional fees
and general corporate expenses. Total SG&A expenses in the U.S. during the six
months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $63.5 million, or 12.1%, as compared to the
same period in 2019. Total same store SG&A expenses in the U.S. during the six
months ended June 30, 2020, decreased $71.3 million, or 13.7%, as compared to
the same period in 2019. The U.S. dealership operations were directly impacted
by reduced demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to reduce costs,
we furloughed and terminated employees and significantly reduced advertising and
other SG&A expenses. Total same store SG&A expenses in the U.S. for the first
six months of 2019 included $6.0 million in net costs associated with hailstorms
in Texas and Oklahoma; $1.1 million in net gains on real estate and dealership
transactions; and $1.8 million in non-core legal expenses. Total same store SG&A
expenses in the U.S. during the second quarter of 2020 included $10.6 million in
expense for an out-of-period adjustment related to stock-based compensation.
Total same store SG&A as a percent of gross profit decreased 350 basis points
over the same period in 2019 driven by cost cutting measures taken due to the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following discussion of our U.K. operating results is on a same store basis.
The difference between reported amounts and same store amounts is related to
acquisition and disposition activity, as well as new add-point openings. Our
U.K. dealership operations have been significantly impacted by the reduced
demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions put in place by the
national government to contain the virus.
Revenues
Total revenues in the U.K. during the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$350.9 million, or 57.1%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Total same
store revenues in the U.K. during the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$351.1 million, or 59.2%, as compared to the same period in 2019. On a constant
currency basis, total same store revenues decreased 57.9%, driven by decreases
in all of our operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning March 21, 2020,
the government mandated the closure of all U.K. dealerships in efforts to stop
the spread of the virus and the government shutdown remained in effect through
May 18, 2020 for service, with the exception of emergency vehicle repairs. U.K.
showrooms were allowed to reopen June 1, 2020 and performed well for the month.
On a constant currency basis, new vehicle retail same store revenues declined
58.9% driven by a 61.1% decrease in new vehicle retail same store unit sales,
partially offset by a 5.8% increase in average new vehicle retail same store
sales price. Used vehicle retail same store revenues on a constant currency
basis decreased 53.3% as used vehicle retail same store unit sales declined
54.7%, partially offset by a 3.2% increase in average used retail same store
sales price. Parts and service same store revenues decreased 60.2% on a constant
currency basis as all of our parts and service businesses were negatively
impacted by COVID-19, with declines of 57.1% in customer-pay, 66.2% in warranty,
67.7% in collision and 60.2% in wholesale parts revenues. F&I same store
revenues on a constant currency basis decreased 58.2%, driven by lower
penetration rates coupled with the decline in retail unit sales volumes.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit in the U.K. during the three months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $34.7 million, or 54.1%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Total
same store gross profit in the U.K. during the three months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $34.6 million, or 56.1%, as compared to the same period in 2019. On a
constant currency basis, total same store gross profit decreased 54.7%, driven
by decreases in all of our operations, except used vehicle wholesale, due to
COVID-19. New vehicle retail same store gross profit decreased 47.5% on a
constant currency basis, driven by a 61.1% decrease in new vehicle retail same
store unit sales, partially offset by a 35.1% increase in new vehicle retail
same store gross profit per unit. The increase in new vehicle gross profit per
unit is primarily due to current supply constraints. On a constant currency
basis, used vehicle retail same store gross profit decreased 43.5%, reflecting a
54.7% decline in used vehicle retail same store unit sales, partially offset by
a 24.7% increase in used vehicle retail same store gross profit per unit sold.
The increase in used vehicle retail same store gross profit per unit sold
reflects supply constraints similar to new vehicles. The overall decline in new
vehicle and used vehicle retail same store gross profits was directly related to
the closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Used vehicle wholesale same store
gross profit improved 128.5% on a constant currency basis due to the increase in
auction prices due to supply constraints. Parts and service same store gross
profit on a constant currency basis decreased 61.9% due to a 60.2% decrease in
revenues, as discussed above. F&I same store revenues on a constant currency
basis decreased 58.2% as previously discussed.
SG&A Expenses
Our SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries,
commissions and incentive-based compensation, as well as rent and facility
costs, advertising and other expenses, which include legal, professional fees
and general corporate expenses. Total SG&A expenses in the U.K. during the three
months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $30.7 million, or 52.1%, as compared to the
same period in 2019. Total same store SG&A expenses in the U.K. during the three
months ended June 30, 2020, decreased $31.1 million, or 55.7%, as compared to
the same period in 2019. On a constant currency basis, total same store SG&A
expenses decreased 54.1%, driven by the implementation and execution of cost
reduction strategies as a reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, which enabled us to
partially offset the adverse effect of significantly lower gross profit. Total
same store SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2020 included $1.2 million in
severance costs for redundancy driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a percentage
of gross profit, total same store SG&A expenses increased 90 basis points over
the same period in 2019 to 91.5%, reflecting the decline in gross profit
discussed above.

The following discussion of our U.K. operating results is on a same store basis.
The difference between reported amounts and same store amounts is related to
acquisition and disposition activity, as well as new add-point openings. Our
U.K. dealership operations have been significantly impacted by the reduced
demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions put in place by the
national government to contain the virus.
Revenues
Total revenues in the U.K. during the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$402.4 million, or 32.0%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Total same
store revenues in the U.K. during the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$427.6 million, or 35.3%, as compared to the same period in 2019. On a constant
currency basis, total same store revenues decreased 33.9%, driven by decreases
in all of our operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning March 21, 2020,
the government mandated the closure of all U.K. dealerships in efforts to stop
the spread of the virus. The government shutdown remained in effect through May
18, 2020 for service, with the exception of emergency vehicle repairs, and June
1, 2020 for showrooms. New vehicle retail same store revenues on a constant
currency basis decreased 33.6%, as a 38.1% decrease in new vehicle retail same
store unit sales was partially offset by a 7.3% increase in new vehicle retail
same store average sales price per unit sold. On a constant currency basis, used
vehicle retail same store revenues decreased 31.3%, as a 32.0% decrease in used
vehicle retail same store unit sales was partially offset by a 1.0% increase in
used vehicle retail same store average sales price per unit sold. Parts and
service same store revenues decreased 33.8% on a constant currency basis driven
by declines of 27.1% in customer-pay, 45.5% in warranty, 45.6% in collision, and
34.0% in wholesale parts revenues. The decreases in all parts and service
businesses are a result of the limitations on the business due to COVID-19. F&I
same store revenues on a constant currency basis decreased 37.1% driven by the
decline in retail unit sales and lower penetration rates, partially offset by an
increase in income per contract on finance fees.
Gross profit
Total gross profit in the U.K. during the six months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $41.8 million, or 30.7%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Total
same store gross profit in the U.K. during the six months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $44.6 million, or 34.3%, as compared to the same period in 2019. On a
constant currency basis, total same store gross profit decreased 32.8%, driven
by decreases in all of our operations, except for used vehicle wholesale, due to
COVID-19. New vehicle retail same store gross profit on a constant currency
basis decreased 36.2%, driven by a 38.1% decline in new vehicle retail same
store unit sales, partially offset by a 3.0% increase in new vehicle retail same
store average gross profit per unit sold. The increase in new vehicle retail
same store gross profit per unit sold reflects supply constraints that occurred
during the second quarter of 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Used vehicle
retail same store gross profit on a constant currency basis decreased 18.3% on a
32.0% decrease in used vehicle retail same store unit sales, partially offset by
a 20.1% increase in used vehicle retail same store average gross profit per unit
sold. The increase in used vehicle retail same store average gross profit per
unit sold reflects supply constraints similar to new vehicles. The overall gross
profit declines on new and used vehicles are a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Used vehicle wholesale same store gross profit improved 114.5% on a constant
currency basis due to increases in auction prices. Parts and service same store
gross profit on a constant currency basis decreased 36.0% as a result of a 33.8%
decline in revenues discussed above. F&I same store on a constant currency basis
decreased 37.1% as discussed above.
SG&A Expenses
Our SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries,
commissions and incentive-based compensation, as well as rent and facility
costs, advertising and other expenses, which include legal, professional fees
and general corporate expenses. Total SG&A expenses in the U.K. during the six
months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $30.1 million, or 25.4%, as compared to the
same period in 2019. Total same store SG&A expenses in the U.K. during the six
months ended June 30, 2020, decreased $34.4 million, or 30.9%, as compared to
the same period in 2019. On a constant currency basis, total same store SG&A
expenses decreased 29.5%. This decline was driven by the implementation and
execution of cost reduction strategies as a reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic,
which enabled us to partially offset the negative impact of lower gross profit.
Total same store SG&A expenses in 2020 included $1.2 million in severance costs
for redundancy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a percentage of gross profit,
total same store SG&A expenses increased 440 basis points over the same period
in 2019 to 90.1%, reflecting the decline in gross profit discussed above.

The following discussion of our Brazil operating results is on a same store
basis. The difference between reported amounts and same store amounts is related
to acquisition and disposition activity, as well as new add-point openings. Our
Brazil dealership operations have been significantly impacted by the reduced
demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions put in place by
local governments to contain the virus.
Revenues
Total revenues in Brazil during the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$76.0 million, or 67.5%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Total same
store revenues in Brazil during the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$71.3 million, or 66.1%, as compared to the same period in 2019. On a constant
currency basis, total same store revenues decreased 53.9% driven by declines in
all business lines except for used vehicle wholesale caused by the COVID-19
pandemic. Beginning March 20, 2020, all our dealerships were required to close
in efforts to stop the spread of the virus and while our service centers
reopened and operated throughout the second quarter, our showrooms did not
reopen until May 2020 with reduced hours. New vehicle retail same store revenues
on a constant currency basis decreased 63.0% as a 72.0% decrease in new vehicle
retail same store unit sales was partially offset by a 32.2% increase in new
vehicle retail same store average sales price per unit sold. The decline in new
vehicle same store unit sales was a result of the reduced demand and closure of
our dealerships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Used vehicle retail same store
revenues on a constant currency basis decreased 45.2% reflecting a 62.2%
decrease in used vehicle same store unit sales partially offset by a 45.1%
increase in used vehicle retail same store average sales price per unit sold.
The decrease in used vehicle retail same store unit sales was driven by the
COVID-19 pandemic. Used vehicle wholesale same store revenues increased 19.5% on
a constant currency basis. The improvement in used vehicle wholesale same store
revenues and the increases in new and used vehicle retail same store average
sales price per unit sold were driven by a change in brand mix, which has
shifted towards our higher priced luxury brands. Parts and service same store
revenues on a constant currency basis decreased 32.0% driven by declines in
warranty, customer-pay and collision revenues, partially offset by an increase
in wholesale revenues. F&I same store revenues on a constant currency basis
decreased 55.0% primarily due to the decline in retail unit sales partially
offset by an increase in income per contract for our retail finance fees.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit in Brazil during the three months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $8.5 million, or 63.3%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Total
same store gross profit in Brazil during the three months ended June 30, 2020
decreased $8.2 million, or 62.3%, as compared to the same period in 2019. On a
constant currency basis, total same store gross profit decreased 48.7% driven by
declines in all business lines. New vehicle retail same store gross profit on a
constant currency basis decreased 56.4% driven by the 72.0% decline in new
vehicle retail same store units sold partially offset by a 55.8% increase in new
vehicle retail same store average gross profit per unit sold. The improvement in
new vehicle retail same store gross profit reflects the mix shift towards our
higher priced luxury brands and supply constraints experienced during the
COVID-19 pandemic. Used vehicle retail same store gross profit on a constant
currency basis decreased 61.9% reflecting the 62.2% decline in used vehicle
retail same store unit sales. Parts and service same store gross profit on a
constant currency basis decreased 35.9% as a result of the 32.0% decrease in
revenues described above. F&I same store gross profit on a constant currency
basis decreased 55.0% as discussed above.
SG&A Expenses
Our SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries,
commissions and incentive-based compensation, as well as rent and facility
costs, advertising and other expenses, which include legal, professional fees
and general corporate expenses. Total SG&A expenses in Brazil during the three
months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $6.0 million, or 51.5%, as compared to the
same period in 2019. Total same store SG&A expenses in Brazil during the three
months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $6.2 million, or 52.3%, as compared to the
same period in 2019. On a constant currency basis, total same store SG&A
expenses decreased 34.8%. The decrease in same store SG&A can be more than
explained by expense control measures taken by management due to COVID-19,
primarily driven by a decrease in personnel expense. Despite the reduction in
same store SG&A expenses, total same store SG&A as a % of gross profit increased
to 114.0% driven by the decline in same store gross profit discussed above.

The following discussion of our Brazil operating results is on a same store
basis. The difference between reported amounts and same store amounts is related
to acquisition and disposition activity, as well as new add-point openings. Our
Brazil dealership operations have been significantly impacted by the reduced
demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions put in place by
local governments to contain the virus.
Revenues
Total revenues in Brazil during the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$86.9 million, or 40.2%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Total same
store revenues in Brazil during the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$78.7 million, or 37.9%, as compared to the same period in 2019. On a constant
currency basis, total same store revenues decreased 24.4% with declines in all
revenue lines except for used vehicle wholesale. Beginning March 20, 2020, all
our dealerships were required to close in efforts to stop the spread of the
virus and while our service centers reopened and operated throughout the second
quarter, our showrooms did not reopen until May 2020 with reduced hours. New
vehicle retail same store revenues on a constant currency basis decreased 31.1%,
as a 42.1% decrease in new vehicle retail same store unit sales was partially
offset by a 19.1% increase in new vehicle retail same store average sales price
per unit sold. The decline in new vehicle same store unit sales was a result of
the reduced demand and closure of our dealerships caused by the COVID-19
pandemic. Used vehicle retail same store revenues on a constant currency basis
decreased 12.7%, as a 27.3% decrease in used vehicle retail same store unit
sales more than offset a 20.1% increase in used vehicle retail same store
average sales price per unit sold. The decrease in used vehicle retail same
store unit sales was driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Used vehicle wholesale
same store revenues increased 24.0% on a constant currency basis. The
improvement in used vehicle wholesale same store revenues and the increases in
new and used vehicle retail same store average sales price per unit sold reflect
a shift in brand mix to higher priced luxury brands. Parts and service same
store revenues on a constant currency basis decreased 18.8% driven by declines
in warranty, customer-pay and collision revenues partially offset by an increase
in wholesale revenues. F&I same store revenues on a constant currency basis
decreased 24.7% primarily as a result of a decline in our retail unit sales
partially offset by an improvement in income per contract on our retail finance
fees.
Gross profit
Total gross profit in Brazil during the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$10.4 million, or 40.1%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Total same
store gross profit in Brazil during the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
$10.0 million, or 39.1%, as compared to the same period in 2019. On a constant
currency basis total same store gross profit decreased 25.4% driven by declines
in all business lines. New vehicle retail same store gross profit on a constant
currency basis decreased 26.8%, driven by a 42.1% decrease in new vehicle retail
same store units sold partially offset by a 26.4% increase in new vehicle retail
same store average gross profit per unit sold. The improvement in new vehicle
retail same store gross profit per unit reflects the shift towards our higher
priced luxury brands and supply constraints experienced during the COVID-19
pandemic. Used vehicle retail same store gross profit on a constant currency
basis decreased 38.2%, reflecting a 27.3% decrease in used vehicle retail same
store unit sales and a 15.0% decrease in used vehicle retail same store average
gross profit per unit sold. The declines were attributable to the negative
impacts of COVID-19. Parts and service same store gross profit decreased 20.4%
on a constant currency basis, driven by the 18.8% decrease in parts and service
revenues described above. F&I same store gross profit on a constant currency
basis decreased 24.7% as discussed above.
SG&A Expenses
Our SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries,
commissions and incentive-based compensation, as well as rent and facility
costs, advertising and other expenses, which include legal, professional fees
and general corporate expenses. Total SG&A expenses in Brazil during the six
months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $7.7 million, or 32.3%, as compared to the
same period in 2019. Total same store SG&A expenses in Brazil during the six
months ended June 30, 2020, decreased $7.0 million, or 30.3%, as compared to the
same period in 2019. On a constant currency basis, total same store SG&A
expenses decreased 13.5% while total same store gross profit decreased 25.4%,
resulting in a 1,300 basis points increase in total same store SG&A as a % of
gross profit. The decrease in SG&A expenses was a result of cost control
initiatives implemented by the management team centered around reducing
personnel expense and lower legal expenses. Total same store SG&A expenses in
2020 included $0.9 million of severance costs associated with the termination of
employees as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following discussion of our results of operations is on a consolidated
basis, unless otherwise noted.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Our total depreciation and amortization expense increased from $17.9 million to
$18.8 million and from $34.9 million to $37.4 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, when compared to the same period in
2019. This increase is substantially explained by the increase in our U.S.
segment, as we continue to strategically add dealership-related real estate to
our investment portfolio and make improvements to our existing facilities
intended to enhance the profitability of our dealerships and the overall
customer experience.
Impairment of Assets
We evaluate intangible assets, consisting entirely of indefinite-lived franchise
rights and goodwill, for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or
circumstances indicate possible impairment. During the three and six months
ended June 30, 2020, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $10.7 million
within the Brazil reporting unit. During the three and six months ended June 30,
2020, we recorded franchise rights impairment charges of $11.1 million within
the U.K. segment and $0.1 million within the Brazil segment. During the three
and six months ended June 30, 2019, there was no impairment to indefinite-lived
franchise rights or goodwill. See Part I, "Item 1. Financial Statements," Note 8
"Intangibles" for additional discussion of our interim impairment assessment.
We also review long-lived assets that are held-for-use, including our property
and equipment and ROU assets, for impairment at the lowest level of identifiable
cash flows whenever there are indicators that the carrying value of these assets
may not be recoverable. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we
recognized ROU asset impairment charges of $1.7 million relating to seven
dealerships within the U.K. segment and $0.2 million relating to one dealership
within the Brazil segment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019,
we recognized asset impairment charges of $0.5 million within the Brazil
segment. See Part I, "Item 1. Financial Statements," Note 1 "Interim Financial
Information" for additional discussion of our interim impairment assessment.
The impairment charges were recognized within Asset impairments in our Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Floorplan Interest Expense
Our floorplan interest expense fluctuates with changes in our borrowings
outstanding and interest rates, which are based on LIBOR (or Prime rate in some
cases), plus a spread in the U.S. and U.K., and a benchmark rate plus a spread
in Brazil. To mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations, we employ an
interest rate hedging strategy, whereby we swap variable interest rate exposure
for a fixed interest rate over the term of the variable interest rate borrowing.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, total floorplan interest expense
decreased 36.4% as compared to the same period in 2019. For the six months ended
June 30, 2020, total floorplan interest expense decreased 27.3% as compared to
the same period in 2019. The decrease in both comparative periods is primarily
due to lower weighted average interest rates as a result of a decline in LIBOR
and lower inventory levels, partially offset by higher expense on our interest
rate swaps.
Other Interest Expense, Net
Other interest expense, net consists of interest charges primarily on our real
estate related debt, working capital lines of credit and other long-term debt,
partially offset by interest income. For the three months ended June 30, 2020,
other interest expense, net decreased from $18.0 million to $16.2 million as
compared to the same period in 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020,
other interest expense, net decreased from $36.9 million to $34.3 million as
compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease in both comparative periods
was primary attributable to the redemption of our 5.25% Senior Notes on April 2,
2020 and lower interest rates on our Acquisition Line and real estate related
debt, partially offset by increased borrowings on said debt.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
On April 2, 2020, we fully redeemed $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount
of our outstanding 5.25% Senior Notes due June 2023, at a premium of 102.625%.
The total redemption price, consisting of the principal amount of the notes
redeemed plus associated premium, amounted to $307.9 million. We recognized a
loss on extinguishment of $10.4 million which included write offs of unamortized
discount in the amount of $1.9 million and unamortized premium in the amount of
$0.6 million.

Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes decreased $1.8 million to $12.2 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. For the
six months ended June 30, 2020, our provision for income taxes decreased $6.3
million to $21.3 million, as compared to the same period in 2019. The decreases
were primarily due to decreases in pretax book income. For the three months
ended June 30, 2020, our effective tax rate increased to 28.7% from 22.2% as
compared to the same period in 2019. This increase was primarily due to an
increase in excess compensation from an out-of-period adjustment to accelerate
stock-based compensation, and the decrease in tax deductions in excess of book
expense with respect to RSAs that vested in 2020, offset by changes to valuation
allowances provided for net operating losses in certain U.S. states and in
Brazil. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our effective tax rate increased
to 26.2% from 23.9% as compared to the same period in 2019. This increase was
primarily due to the increase in excess compensation expense as a result of the
out-of-period adjustment to accelerate stock-based compensation, offset by
changes to valuation allowances provided for net operating losses in certain
U.S. states and in Brazil, and the increase of tax deductions in excess of book
expense with respect to RSAs that vested in 2020.
We expect our effective tax rate for the remainder of 2020 will be between 23.0%
and 24.0%. We believe that it is more-likely-than-not that our deferred tax
assets, net of valuation allowances provided, will be realized, based primarily
on assumptions of our future taxable income, considering future reversals of
existing taxable temporary differences. The anticipated effects of the COVID-19
pandemic should not materially impact our estimated effective tax rate for the
full-year of 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources are primarily derived from cash on hand,
cash temporarily invested as a pay down of our Floorplan Line and FMCC Facility
levels (see Part I, "Item 1. Financial Statements," Note 10 "Floorplan Notes
Payable" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information), cash from operations, borrowings under our credit
facilities, which provide vehicle floorplan financing, working capital,
dealership and real estate acquisition financing and proceeds from debt and
equity offerings. Based on current facts and circumstances, we believe we will
have adequate cash flow, coupled with available borrowing capacity, to fund our
current operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions for the next 12
months. If economic and business conditions deteriorate or if our capital
expenditures or acquisition plans for 2020 change, we may need to access the
private or public capital markets to obtain additional funding. See "Sources and
Uses of Liquidity from Investing Activities" below for further discussion of
expectations regarding future capital expenditures.
Cash on Hand
As of June 30, 2020, our total cash on hand was $72.7 million. The balance of
cash on hand excludes $107.8 million of immediately available funds used to pay
down our Floorplan Line and FMCC Facility as of June 30, 2020. We use the pay
down of our Floorplan Line and FMCC Facility as a channel for the short-term
investment of excess cash.
Cash Flows
We utilize various credit facilities to finance the purchase of our new and used
vehicle inventory. With respect to all new vehicle floorplan borrowings in the
normal course of business, the manufacturers of the vehicles draft our credit
facilities directly with no cash flows to or from us. With respect to borrowings
for used vehicle financing, we finance up to 85% of the value of our used
vehicle inventory in the U.S. and the funds flow directly between us and the
lender.

We categorize the cash flows associated with borrowings and repayments on these
various credit facilities as Cash Flows from Operating Activities or Cash Flows
from Financing Activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows. All borrowings from, and repayments to, lenders affiliated with our
vehicle manufacturers (excluding the cash flows from or to
manufacturer-affiliated lenders participating in our syndicated lending group)
are presented within Cash Flows from Operating Activities in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All
borrowings from, and repayments to, the Revolving Credit Facility (see Part I,
"Item 1. Financial Statements," Note 10 "Floorplan Notes Payable" in the Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information)
(including the cash flows from or to manufacturer-affiliated lenders
participating in the facility) and other credit facilities in the U.K. and
Brazil unaffiliated with our manufacturer partners (collectively, "Non-OEM
Floorplan Credit Facilities"), are presented within Cash Flows from Financing
Activities in conformity with U.S. GAAP. However, the incurrence of all
floorplan notes payable represents an activity necessary to acquire inventory
for resale, resulting in a trade payable. Our decision to utilize our Revolving
Credit Facility does not substantially alter the process by which our vehicle
inventory is financed, nor does it significantly impact the economics of our
vehicle procurement activities. Therefore, we believe that all floorplan
financing of inventory purchases in the normal course of business should
correspond with the related inventory activity and be classified as an operating
activity. As a result, we use the non-GAAP measure "Adjusted net cash provided
by/used in operating activities" and "Adjusted net cash provided by/used in
financing activities" to further evaluate our cash flows. We believe that this
classification eliminates excess volatility in our operating cash flows prepared
in accordance with U.S. GAAP and avoids the potential to mislead the users of
our financial statements.
In addition, for dealership acquisitions and dispositions that are negotiated as
asset purchases, we do not assume transfer of liabilities for floorplan
financing in the execution of the transactions. Therefore, borrowings and
repayments of all floorplan financing associated with dealership acquisition and
disposition are characterized as either Cash Flow from Operating Activities or
Cash Flow from Financing Activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP, depending on the relationship
described above. However, the floorplan financing activity is so closely related
to the inventory acquisition process that we believe the presentation of all
acquisition and disposition related floorplan financing activities should be
classified as investing activity to correspond with the associated inventory
activity, which more closely reflects the cash flows associated with our
acquisitions and disposition strategy and eliminates excess volatility in our
operating cash flows prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have made such
adjustments in our adjusted operating cash flow presentations.
The following table reconciles cash flows provided by (used in) operating,
investing and financing activities on a U.S. GAAP basis to the corresponding
adjusted amounts (in millions):
