From May 2019 to May 2024
AutoChina International Limited (“AutoChina” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AUTC, AUTCW, AUTCU), a leading one-stop commercial vehicle sales and leasing company in China offering its customers affordable lease-to-own options, reported financial results for its third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
(1) The financial results through September 30, 2009 include those of the automotive dealership business, which is in the process of being sold. Pro forma statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008 and a pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2009, to present the pending sale of the automotive dealership business segment as a discontinued operation, are presented below. In addition, the financial results prior to April 9, 2009 reflect those of the Company’s operating subsidiary, AutoChina Group, Inc. (“ACG”) on a stand-alone basis, without adjustment, prior to its acquisition by Spring Creek Acquisition Corp. on April 9, 2009.
The Company’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Yong Hui Li, noted, “We are pleased to have significantly improved our revenues and earnings through the third quarter. We achieved this through the rapid growth of our commercial vehicle sales and leasing business, which we expanded to over 150 branches across China in just the first 18 months of operations. We plan to continue to open branches as we further expand our store network across China. Our results have continued to improve since February 2009, when nationwide commercial vehicle sales rebounded and posted their first monthly increase since July 2008. In the third quarter the market has continued to gain momentum as highway freight volumes have increased and monthly commercial vehicles sales have posted strong year-over-year growth rates. We believe that we have a “first-mover” advantage with a scalable and cost-efficient business model that is well equipped to capitalize on this commercial vehicle expansion.”
Mr. Li continued, “While we had hoped to close the sale of the auto dealership business earlier this year, we now expect this transaction to close by the end of December. Proceeds from this sale will be utilized to fund our growth.”
2009 Third Quarter Financial Review
The Company reported revenues for the 2009 third quarter of $242.0 million, up 110.8% year-over-year from $114.8 million in the third quarter of 2008. The Company’s revenues by category were as follows:
The Company’s commercial vehicle sales and leasing business recorded 2,531 vehicle financing agreements and sales in the third quarter of 2009, compared to 291 in the third quarter of 2008 and 1,535 in the second quarter of 2009. The Company did not realize any losses on any lease-to-own loans on its commercial vehicles during the first nine months of 2009. The increase in commercial vehicle sales was in part due to the effects of economic stimulus measures implemented by the Chinese government in the first quarter and strengthening demand for commercial vehicles in the third quarter.
Gross margin increased to 7.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, from 7.0% for the prior fiscal year period, and from 6.2% in the second quarter of 2009. The Company expects continued improvement in margin due to the increased contribution to revenues from the commercial vehicle sales and leasing business, which has higher margins than the dealership business.
Net income attributable to shareholders for the third quarter of 2009 increased to $7.0 million, or $0.60 per diluted share based on 11.7 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared to $3.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted share based on 7.7 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the third quarter of 2008.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 increased to $12.4 million, from $5.7 million in the prior year quarter. A table reconciling Adjusted EBITDA to net income can be found at the end of this press release.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 Financial Review
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, revenues increased 70.1% to $565.2 million, from $332.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The Company’s revenues by sales category were as follows:
Gross margin increased to 6.7% from 6.1% in the prior year period, which reflected the change in the revenue mix.
Net income attributable to shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $12.5 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, based on 10.0 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared to $6.1 million, or $1.03 per diluted share based on 7.7 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased to $25.3 million from $12.9 million in the prior year period. A table reconciling Adjusted EBITDA to net income can be found at the end of this press release.
The Company believes that, after taking into consideration its present banking facilities, its financing arrangement with its affiliate, its existing cash resources, the cash flows expected to be generated from continuing operations, and the proceeds to be received from the sale of the consumer automotive dealership business, it has adequate sources of liquidity to meet its short-term obligations and working capital requirements.
Additional information with respect to the Company, including more detailed information with respect to the Company’s September 30, 2009 interim financial statements, will be available on Form 6-K, which the Company expects to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 11, 2009 (available without charge at www.sec.gov).

AutoChina defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as certain other adjustments, including net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries, accretion of share repurchase obligations, stock-based compensation and acquisition-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain financial information that would be included in net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Users of this financial information should consider the type of material events and transactions that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, and the material limitations of Adjusted EBITDA, such as: Adjusted EBITDA does not include net interest expense, but because AutoChina has borrowed money to finance its operations, interest expense is a necessary and ongoing part of its costs and has assisted AutoChina in generating revenue; Adjusted EBITDA does not include taxes, although payment of taxes is a necessary and ongoing part of AutoChina’s operations; and Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization expense, but because AutoChina uses capital assets to generate revenue, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of its cost structure. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, since it omits the impact of these expenses incurred by AutoChina.
AutoChina believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is warranted and useful to its shareholders because it provides an additional analytical tool for understanding the Company’s financial performance by excluding certain items that may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the Company’s business. Using Adjusted EBITDA also facilitates management's internal comparisons to AutoChina's historical performance and liquidity. AutoChina computes Adjusted EBITDA using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The accompanying table has more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to Non-GAAP financial measures.
