Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes

in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Forward-looking

statements

are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidityand development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or

suggested

by the forward-looking statements in this presentation.

Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that could cause actual

results to differ materially from

estimated or projected results include,

without limitation:

Future economic and financial conditions (both nationally

and locally], including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;

Changes in customer demand,

our relationship 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);

which may affect our ability to pay our quarterly dividend at the planned level;

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"

and in "Part I, Item 1A.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share, adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue and gross profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusting operating profit as a percentage of revenue and gross profit, adjusted pre-tax margin and net profit margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, leveraged EBITDA and adjusted total debt. Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under GAAP and may be defined differently by and not

comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, wereview any non-GAAP financial measures in connection with a review of 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 them with 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 to improve the visibility of cash flows related to vehicle financing. As required by SEC rules, we have reconciled thesemeasures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the attachments to this release. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures we present improve the transparency of our disclosures; provide a meaningful presentation of our results from 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 our results from core business operations. These presentations should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.
