KAR Auction Services, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
•Second quarter total revenue of $585.4 million, up 40% year-over-year
•GAAP net income of $11.5 million, up from a GAAP net loss of $32.3 million in the second quarter of 2020
•Maintaining previously stated FY21 guidance
Carmel, IN, August 3, 2021 — KAR Auction Services, Inc. (NYSE: KAR), today reported its second quarter financial results for the period ended June 30, 2021.
“I am pleased with our second quarter performance, particularly given the significant supply headwinds that our industry faced,” said Peter Kelly, CEO of KAR Global. “We achieved our strongest results to-date in the digital dealer-to-dealer segment, with record numbers of sellers and buyers participating and 65% volume growth versus the second quarter 2020. We also saw improvement in the unit economics at ADESA and an improved performance from our finance business, AFC. I believe KAR is well positioned for growth as industry volumes begin to recover.”
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights
•Total revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $585.4 million, up 40% compared with $419.0 million for the second quarter of 2020.
•Net income for the second quarter of 2021 increased to $11.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $32.3 million, or $0.27 net loss per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020.
•Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 increased 46% to $116.5 million, compared with $80.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
•Operating adjusted net income per diluted share increased 88% to $0.15 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared with $0.08 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
•Year-over-year growth in our digital dealer-to-dealer marketplaces of 65%.
•ADESA gross profit per vehicle sold increased 24% to $277 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared with $224 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Investments in Early-Stage Automotive Companies
The company invests in certain early-stage automotive companies and funds that relate to the automotive industry. We believe these investments have resulted in the expansion of relationships in the vehicle remarketing industry. Realized gains on these investments were $0.2 million and $17.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Although the company had a reduction in unrealized gains on investment securities of $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, net unrealized gains on investment securities totaled $31.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
2021 Guidance
The company's previously stated guidance remains unchanged.
| | | | | |
| (in millions, except per share amounts) | Annual Guidance |
| |
| Net income from continuing operations | $90 |
| Income tax expense | $38 |
| Interest expense, net of interest income | $125 |
| Depreciation and amortization | $205 |
| EBITDA* | $458 |
| Adjusted EBITDA addbacks, net | $17 |
| Adjusted EBITDA* | $475 |
| Effective tax rate | 30% |
| Net income from continuing operations per share - diluted ** | $0.30 |
| Weighted average diluted shares ** | 131 |
| Operating adjusted net income per share* | $0.87 |
| Weighted average diluted shares - including assumed conversion of preferred shares | 165 |
* EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted net income and operating adjusted net income per share are non-GAAP financial measures. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
** The company used the two-class method of calculating net income from continuing operations per diluted share. Under the two-class method, net income from continuing operations is reduced by dividends and undistributed earnings to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the weighted average diluted shares do not assume conversion of the preferred shares to common shares.
Impact of COVID-19 on Company Operations
The company has been subject to numerous COVID-19-related orders and directives that have caused us to modify our business practices. All ADESA auction locations in the U.S. and Canada are offering vehicles for sale via ADESA Simulcast, DealerBlock and Simulcast+. Auction locations have resumed offering ancillary and related services, where possible and as permitted by government directives. However, given the evolving health, economic, social and governmental environments, the continuing impact that COVID-19 could have on our business remains uncertain. The broader implications for our business and results of operations remain uncertain and will depend on many factors outside our control, including, without limitation, the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the degree to which governmental restrictions are relaxed or reimposed, the length of time it takes for normal economic and operating conditions to resume, the number and effectiveness of vaccines and numerous other uncertainties. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted net income and operating adjusted net income per share 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. 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 below.
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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance.
Depreciation expense for property and equipment and amortization expense of capitalized internally developed software costs relate to ongoing capital expenditures; however, amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets, such as customer relationships, software, tradenames and noncompete agreements are not representative of ongoing capital expenditures, but have a continuing effect on our reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures of operating adjusted net income and operating adjusted net income per share, in the opinion of the company, provide comparability of the company's performance to other companies that may not have incurred these types of non-cash expenses or that report a similar measure. In addition, operating adjusted net income and operating adjusted net income per share may include adjustments for certain other charges.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted net income and operating adjusted net income per share 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.

Overview of KAR Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
Overview
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had revenue of $585.4 million compared with revenue of $419.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 40%. Businesses acquired in the last twelve months accounted for an increase in revenue of $39.7 million or 7% of revenue. For a further discussion of revenues, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses, see the segment results discussions below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.1 million, or 2%, to $45.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $46.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily the result of fixed assets that have become fully depreciated and a reduction in assets placed in service.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles Impairment
In the second quarter of 2020 a $25.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and a $4.3 million non-cash customer relationship impairment charge were recorded in our ADESA Remarketing Limited reporting unit (doing business as ADESA U.K.). The impairments resulted from the changes in economic circumstances which caused the outlook for the business to be significantly reduced.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $0.3 million, or 1%, to $31.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $30.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense at AFC of $0.2 million, which resulted from an increase in the average finance receivables balance for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
The Company invests in certain early-stage automotive companies and funds that relate to the automotive industry. We believe these investments have resulted in the expansion of relationships in the vehicle remarketing industry. Realized gains on these investments were $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Company had a reduction in unrealized gains of $11.9 million at June 30, 2021, as a result of the change in fair value for one of these investment securities which had a recent public offering. Any future changes in the fair value of these investment securities will be reflected as unrealized gains or losses until these securities are sold.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had other expense of $14.8 million compared with $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in other expense was primarily attributable to a reduction in unrealized gains on investment securities of approximately $11.9 million and an increase in contingent consideration valuation of $4.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in foreign currency losses of $2.3 million and other miscellaneous items aggregating $0.6 million.
Income Taxes
We had an effective tax rate of 44.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with an effective tax rate of 12.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was unfavorably impacted by the expense for the increase in the estimated value of contingent consideration for which no tax benefits have been recorded. The rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was unfavorably impacted by the goodwill and other intangibles impairment charge for which no tax benefit was recorded, partially offset by the tax benefit from recording net operating losses and deductions related to stock-based compensation expenses.
Impact of Foreign Currency
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate increased revenue by $9.3 million, operating profit by $3.4 million and net income by $2.0 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, fluctuations in the European exchange rate increased revenue by $5.7 million, operating profit by $0.2 million and decreased net income by $0.2 million.
Impact of COVID-19 on Our Operations
The Company has been subject to numerous orders and directives that have impacted our ability to operate our business throughout North America and in Europe. As a result of these COVID-19 related restrictions on our operations, we have adjusted our business processes so that we can continue to meet the needs of our customers while complying with the various laws, regulations, mandates and directives in each of the markets in which we operate. In many cases, we have had to limit the number of employees and customers at our physical locations at any given time and modify the delivery of services to our customers. However, these adjustments have also resulted in improvements in our operations.
During this challenging time, the Company has worked to meet the needs of the wholesale used car marketplace with its technology-based auction platforms throughout North America and in Europe. The Company believes that certain changes to its business processes that were necessitated by the COVID-19 outbreak are sustainable going forward. For example, the Company has reduced the labor required to process wholesale auction transactions and reduced its selling, general and administrative expenses.
Overview of KAR Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
Overview
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had revenue of $1,167.0 million compared with revenue of $1,064.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 10%. Businesses acquired in the last twelve months accounted for an increase in revenue of $64.9 million or 6% of revenue. For a further discussion of revenues, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses, see the segment results discussions below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.8 million, or 2%, to $92.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $94.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily the result of fixed assets that have become fully depreciated and a reduction in assets placed in service.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles Impairment
In the second quarter of 2020 a $25.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and a $4.3 million non-cash customer relationship impairment charge were recorded in our ADESA Remarketing Limited reporting unit (doing business as ADESA U.K.). The impairments resulted from the changes in economic circumstances which caused the outlook for the business to be significantly reduced.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $6.8 million, or 10%, to $62.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $68.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense at AFC of $4.1 million, which resulted from a decrease in incremental interest rates for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, there was a slight decrease in the weighted average interest rate on corporate debt and a decrease of $8.8 million in the average outstanding balance of corporate debt for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
The Company invests in certain early-stage automotive companies and funds that relate to the automotive industry.

The Company had unrealized gains of $31.6 million at June 30, 2021, as a result of a recent public offering for one of these investment securities. Any future changes in the fair value of these investment securities will be reflected as unrealized gains or losses until these securities are sold.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had other income of $35.4 million compared with $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in other income was primarily attributable to an increase in realized and unrealized gains on investment securities of approximately $48.8 million, a decrease in foreign currency losses of $0.5 million and an increase in other miscellaneous items aggregating $1.1 million, partially offset by an increase in contingent consideration valuation of $15.7 million.
Income Taxes
We had an effective tax rate of 34.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with an effective tax rate of 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was unfavorably impacted by the expense for the increase in the estimated value of contingent consideration for which no tax benefits have been recorded. The rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was unfavorably impacted by the goodwill and other intangibles impairment charge for which no tax benefit was recorded. This was partially offset by the tax benefit from recording net operating losses and deductions related to stock-based compensation expenses.

Overview of ADESA Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
Revenue
Revenue from ADESA increased $154.6 million, or 43%, to $516.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $362.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in revenue was the result of an increase in the number of vehicles sold and an increase in average revenue per vehicle sold. Businesses acquired in the last twelve months accounted for an increase in revenue of $39.7 million. The change in revenue included the impact of an increase in revenue of $8.7 million due to fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate and an increase of $5.7 million due to fluctuations in the European exchange rate.
On-premise marketplace sales are initiated online for vehicles at any of our locations across North America and include Simulcast, Simulcast+ and DealerBlock sales. Off-premise marketplace sales are initiated online and include Openlane, TradeRev, BacklotCars and ADESA Europe sales. The 10% increase in the number of vehicles sold was comprised of a 6% increase in on-premise vehicles sold and a 13% increase in off-premise vehicles sold. However, the Company has experienced a decline in both on-premise and off-premise commercial volumes aggregating 18% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we conducted all sales through digital marketplaces. All vehicles were offered online, cars were not driven through the auction lanes and we limited access to our physical locations to promote social distancing measures and help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Auction fees per vehicle sold for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $59, or 22%, reflecting higher vehicle values and a changing mix of vehicles sold.
Service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $47.4 million, or 35%, primarily as a result of all the Company's services being available in 2021. A substantial amount of the Company's on-premise and off-premise services were not available for a portion of the second quarter of 2020.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, gross profit for ADESA increased $52.3 million, or 36%, to $197.3 million, compared with $145.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Gross profit for ADESA was 38.2% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with 40.0% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the impact of purchased vehicles. Excluding purchased vehicle sales, gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 47.1% and 46.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The entire selling and purchase price of the vehicle is recorded as revenue and cost of services for purchased vehicles sold. We have also taken measures to reduce expenses to help protect our business while our operations have been impacted by COVID-19. In the second quarter of 2021 we recorded a benefit of $1.5 million taken under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy as compared with an aggregate of $10.1 million taken under the CARES Act and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy in the second quarter of 2020. Businesses acquired in the last 12 months accounted for an increase in cost of services of $23.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ADESA segment increased $27.7 million, or 27%, to $131.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $103.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions of $24.3 million, incentive-based compensation of $5.5 million, fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate of $2.1 million, stock-based compensation of $1.8 million and professional fees of $1.3 million, partially offset by decreases in bad debt expense of $4.5 million, severance of $2.3 million, medical expenses of $2.2 million and other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $4.3 million. In addition, the Employee Retention Credit provided under the CARES Act and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy was $6.0 million less for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles Impairment
In the second quarter of 2020 a $25.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and a $4.3 million non-cash customer relationship impairment charge were recorded in our ADESA Remarketing Limited reporting unit (doing business as ADESA U.K.). The impairments resulted from the changes in economic circumstances which caused the outlook for the business to be significantly reduced.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020, as we have taken measures to reduce expenses to help protect our business while our operations have been impacted by COVID-19 and vehicles sold online require less labor. In the first six months of 2021 we also recorded a benefit of $3.7 million taken under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy as compared with an aggregate of $10.1 million taken under the CARES Act and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy in the first six months of 2020. On March 20, 2020 our on-premise auctions were shut down in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While revenue decreased during the closure, cost of services remained consistent, as all non-essential auction employees were paid during the closure. In addition, our gross profit as a percentage of revenue is impacted by purchased vehicles. Excluding purchased vehicle sales, gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 47.1% and 42.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The entire selling and purchase price of the vehicle is recorded as revenue and cost of services for purchased vehicles sold. Businesses acquired in the last 12 months accounted for an increase in cost of services of $37.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ADESA segment increased $15.5 million, or 6%, to $271.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $256.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions of $45.6 million, incentive-based compensation of $14.5 million, fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate of $3.0 million and stock-based compensation of $2.0 million, partially offset by decreases in compensation expense of $21.0 million, bad debt expense of $6.3 million, severance of $4.0 million, medical expenses of $3.9 million, marketing costs of $3.7 million, telecom expenses of $2.7 million, travel expenses of $2.5 million, professional fees of $2.4 million and other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $7.9 million. In addition, the Employee Retention Credit provided under the CARES Act and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy was $4.8 million less for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles Impairment
In the second quarter of 2020 a $25.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and a $4.3 million non-cash customer relationship impairment charge were recorded in our ADESA Remarketing Limited reporting unit (doing business as ADESA U.K.). The impairments resulted from the changes in economic circumstances which caused the outlook for the business to be significantly reduced.

Overview of AFC Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
Revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, AFC revenue increased $11.8 million, or 21%, to $68.6 million, compared with $56.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in revenue was primarily the result of a 68% increase in revenue per loan transaction, largely as a result of a decrease in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by a 15% decrease in loan transactions and the elimination of Warranty contract revenue as a result of the sale of PWI in December 2020.
Revenue per loan transaction, which includes both loans paid off and loans curtailed, increased $78, or 68%, primarily as a result of a decrease in provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase in interest yields and an increase in loan values, partially offset by a decrease in average portfolio duration. Revenue per loan transaction excludes Warranty contract revenue in 2020.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We believe that the significant indicators of liquidity for our business are cash on hand, cash flow from operations, working capital and amounts available under our Credit Facility. Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash generated by operations and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

* There were related outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $29.7 million, $28.5 million and $25.0 million at June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively, which reduced the amount available for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
We regularly evaluate alternatives for our capital structure and liquidity given our expected cash flows, growth and operating capital requirements as well as capital market conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is continuing to have, an adverse impact on our business. As a result, during 2020 we implemented several measures that we believe will enhance liquidity for the foreseeable future. Some of these measures included furloughs, prohibiting non-essential business travel, suspending non-essential services provided by certain third parties at our locations, delaying or canceling capital projects at our on-premise marketplace locations and suspending the Company's quarterly dividend.
We also took advantage of legislation introduced to assist companies during the pandemic. In the first six months of 2021, we recorded a total of approximately $5.8 million claimed under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy. These credits partially offset salaries recorded in Canada. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact the CARES Act and similar legislation in other countries may have on our business and financial results. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. A continued disruption could materially affect our liquidity.
