UnitedAuto Reports First Quarter Results

United Auto Group, Inc. (NYSE:UAG), an international automotive
retailer, today reported that first quarter adjusted income from
continuing operations increased 9.2% to $28.3 million and related
earnings per share increased 7.1% to $0.30. The adjusted results
exclude $12.3 million ($0.13 per share) of after-tax costs relating to
the redemption of the Company's 9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes.
Including the debt redemption charge in the current year, the Company
reported income from continuing operations of $16.1 million and
related earnings per share of $0.17. First quarter adjusted net income
increased 12.2% to $26.9 million and related earnings per share
increased 12.0% to $0.28. Including the debt redemption charge in the
current year, net income amounted to $14.6 million and related
earnings per share was $0.15.

Revenues in the first quarter increased 21.6% to $3.1 billion,
including a 10.8% increase in same-store retail revenues. The increase
in same-store revenue included growth of 7.2%, 20.9%, 10.6% and 9.7%
in new vehicle, used vehicle, finance and insurance, and service and
parts revenues, respectively.

"Our same-store retail revenue growth remained strong in each area
of our business," said UAG Chairman Roger Penske. "On a same-store
basis, our U.S. and international retail revenue grew 4.0% and 27.3%,
respectively. Additionally, our used vehicle business continued to be
exceptionally strong in the first quarter, with revenues increasing
nearly 42% over last year including the significant same-store
growth." Mr. Penske added, "While the increased level of our used
vehicle business, coupled with a very competitive vehicle sales
environment, contributed to an overall 57 basis-point decrease in
gross margin in the current year, we are pleased to see that our
selling, general and administrative expenses declined 55 basis points
to 12.1% of our revenues, and declined 53 basis points to 80.3% of our
gross profit."

The Company currently projects earnings from continuing operations
in the second quarter to be in the range of $0.39 to $0.43 per share.
The Company continues to project earnings from continuing operations
for the year in the range of $1.40 to $1.50 per share, excluding the
$12.3 million ($0.13 per share) debt redemption charge. These
estimates include costs associated with developing the distribution
network for the smart product launch in the U.S. and are based on an
estimated average of 94.6 million shares outstanding.
