CARMEL, IN--(Marketwire - Aug 6, 2012) - KAR Auction Services, Inc. (
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the company reported revenue of $994.8 million as compared with revenue of $957.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 4%. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased 1% to $263.0 million as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $259.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased 96% to $49.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $25.5 million, or $0.19 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Adjusted net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $0.57 versus adjusted net income per share of $0.72 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of 21%. During the first six months of 2011, the company's effective tax rate benefited from the reversal of $14.4 million in tax reserves.
2012 Outlook
KAR Auction Services, Inc. continues to expect 2012 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $515 million. The company expects net income per share of $0.70 - $0.75 and adjusted net income per share of $1.05 - $1.10, both assuming an effective tax rate in the range of 40% - 43%. Adjusted net income per share represents GAAP net income per diluted share excluding excess depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, both resulting from the 2007 merger, net of taxes, as well as other items shown on the attached reconciliation table. Additionally, the company continues to expect 2012 cash taxes of approximately $70 million, cash interest expense on corporate debt of approximately $95 million and capital expenditures of approximately $90 million. This would result in free cash flow of approximately $260 million.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items of income and expense and expected incremental revenue and cost savings as described in our senior secured credit agreement covenant calculations. Management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about one of the principal measures of performance used by our creditors. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The following tables reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the periods presented:

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share
The revaluation of certain assets of the company, and resultant increase in depreciation and amortization expense which resulted from the 2007 merger, as well as stock-based compensation expense incurred in connection with service and exit options tied to the 2007 merger, have had a continuing effect on our reported results. Non-GAAP measures of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, in the opinion of the company, provide comparability to other companies that may have not incurred these types of non-cash expenses. In the second quarter of 2011 we also recorded a charge representing the net premiums paid related to the repurchase of the 8 3/4% senior notes and our 10% senior subordinated notes, the write-off of certain unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the notes and term loan, as well as certain expenses related to the prepayment. We also incurred a charge to settle and terminate our $650 million notional swap agreement in the second quarter of 2011. Lastly, in 2012 and the second quarter of 2011, we recorded adjustments to accrued contingent consideration related to certain prior year acquisitions.

| (3) | Increased depreciation and amortization expense was $12.9 million ($8.1 million net of tax) and $15.0 million ($9.5 million net of tax) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded and reversed accrued contingent consideration of approximately $1.0 million ($0.6 million net of tax) and $5.9 million ($3.7 million benefit net of tax), respectively. |
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company provides historical and forward-looking non-GAAP measures called EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share. Management believes that these measures provide investors additional meaningful methods to evaluate certain aspects of the company's results period over period and for the other reasons set forth previously.
Earnings guidance also does not contemplate future items such as business development activities, strategic developments (such as restructurings or dispositions of assets or investments), significant expenses related to litigation and changes in applicable laws and regulations (including significant accounting and tax matters). The timing and amounts of these items are highly variable, difficult to predict, and of a potential size that could have a substantial impact on the company's reported results for any given period. Prospective quantification of these items is generally not practicable. Forward-looking non-GAAP guidance excludes stock-based compensation under certain equity grants related to the 2007 merger, increased depreciation and amortization expense that resulted from the 2007 revaluation of the company's assets, as well as one-time charges, net of taxes.
