DISCLOSUREForward-Looking StatementsThis presentation includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "Safe-Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward lookingstatements include statements regarding our goals, plans, projections and guidance regarding our financial position, results of operations, market position, pending and potential futureacquisitions and business strategy, and often contain words such as "project," "outlook," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "estimate," "may," "seek," "would," "should,""likely," "goal," "strategy," "future," "maintain," "continue," "remain," "target" or "will" and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements in thispresentation include, among others, statements regarding:

• Expected operating results, such as improved store efficiency and performance;• generating 2016 full year earnings of $7.40 to $7.45 per diluted share; generating 2017 full year earnings of $8.00 to $8.30 per diluted share and all projections;• Anticipated national new car sales levels;• Our ability to improve store performance; Anticipated acquisition opportunities and additions of dealership locations to our portfolio in the future; and our ability to achieve

returns on investment;• Anticipated revenues from acquired stores; and• Anticipated availability of liquidity from our credit facility and unfinanced operating real estate.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events that depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and development of the industry in which weoperate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements in this presentation. The risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differmaterially from estimated or projected results include, without limitation, future economic and financial conditions (both nationally and locally), changes in customer demand, ourrelationship with, and the financial and operational stability of, vehicle manufacturers and other suppliers, risks associated with our indebtedness (including available borrowing capacity,compliance with financial covenants and ability to refinance or repay indebtedness on favorable terms), government regulations, legislation and others set forth throughout Part II, Item7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, andfrom time to time in our other filings with the SEC. We urge you to carefully consider this information and not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no dutyto update our forward-looking statements, including our earnings outlook, which are made as of the date of this presentation.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis presentation contain non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share, adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenues and gross profit,adjusted operating margin, adjusted operating profit as a percentage of gross profit, and adjusted pre-tax margin. Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under GAAP and maybe defined differently by and not comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, we review any non-GAAP financial measures in connection with a reviewof the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution you not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider themwith the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We present cash flows from operations in the attached tables, adjusted to include the change in non-trade floor plan debt toimprove the visibility of cash flows related to vehicle financing. As required by SEC rules, we have reconciled these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in theattachments to this release. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures we present improve the transparency of our disclosures; provide a meaningful presentation of our resultsfrom core business operations, because they exclude items not related to core business operations and other non-cash items; and improve the period-to-period comparability of ourresults from core business operations. These presentations should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.
