GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2012 was positively impacted by $16.1 million (net of tax), or $0.37 per share, from a non-cash gain related to the contribution of Chrome to the Chrome Data Solutions, L.P. joint venture.

Mark F. O'Neil, chairman and chief executive officer of Dealertrack Technologies, Inc., commented, "We are off to a solid start for the year. Our focus on selling broader solutions to dealerships helped drive an increase in momentum for our subscription products in the first quarter, led by our dealer management system. At the same time, transaction revenue continues to increase faster than the growth in car sales as we derived more revenue per car sold through increased cross-selling. We are also making significant progress in a number of product initiatives that we believe will help us deliver strong growth and profitability in the years ahead."

Dealertrack updated its 2013 annual guidance to reflect the acquisition of Casey & Casey as follows:

Diluted GAAP net income per share for the year is expected to be between $0.21 and $0.28, a decrease from prior guidance of between $0.22 and $0.29 per share.
Expected Non-GAAP Results
Adjusted EBITDA for the year is expected to be between $112.5 millionand $116.5 million, an increase from prior guidance of between $111.0 millionand $115.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income disclosures are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of net income. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, stock-based compensation, contra-revenue and certain items, as applicable, such as: impairment charges, restructuring charges, impact of acquisition-related activity (including contingent consideration changes, compensation expense, basis difference amortization, and professional service fees), realized gains on sales of previously impaired securities, gains or losses on sales or disposals of subsidiaries and other assets, rebranding expense and certain other non-recurring items.
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of acquired identifiable intangibles, contra-revenue, and certain items, as applicable, such as: impairment charges, restructuring charges, impact of acquisition-related activity (including contingent consideration changes, compensation expense, basis difference amortization, and professional service fees), realized gains on sales of previously impaired securities, gains or losses on sales or disposals of subsidiaries and other assets, adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances, non-cash interest expense, rebranding expense and certain other non-recurring items. These adjustments to net income (loss), which are shown before taxes, are adjusted for their tax impact at their applicable statutory rates.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are presented because management believes that they provide additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and are also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are also presented because the purchase accounting treatment of acquisitions can have a negative impact on our GAAP results because the depreciation and amortization expenses associated with acquired assets, in particular intangibles which tend to have a relatively short useful life, can be substantial in the first several years following an acquisition. As a result, we monitor our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income and other business statistics as a measure of operating performance in addition to net income and the other measures included in our consolidated financial statements. Management believes the adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income information is useful to investors for these reasons. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income is GAAP net income (loss) and has provided a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted net income to GAAP net income (loss) in this press release.
