Mark F.

Customers are increasingly embracing our vision of transforming automotive retail through integrated technology solutions. During the second quarter, we saw accelerating organic subscription revenue growth. We also saw strong trends in transaction revenue independent of healthy car sales and credit trends, as we increased average transaction price per car sold through growing adoption and cross selling of registration, titling and lien services. We are optimistic that these positive trends will continue through the end of the year, as reflected in the increase of our full year guidance, and believe they position us for sustainable growth in the years ahead."
Updated Guidance for 2013
Dealertrack updated its 2013 annual guidance as follows to reflect its strong second quarter performance and increasing revenue growth trends:
Expected GAAP Results
Revenue for the year is expected to be between $464.0 million and $468.0 million, an increase from prior guidance of between $453.0 million and $462.0 million.
GAAP net income for the year is expected to be between $10.0 million and $12.0 million, compared to prior guidance of between $9.5 million and $12.5 million.
Diluted GAAP net income per share for the year is expected to be between $0.22 and $0.27, compared to prior guidance of between $0.21 and $0.28 per share.
Expected Non-GAAP Results
Adjusted EBITDA for the year is expected to be between $115.0 millionand $118.0 million, an increase from prior guidance of between $112.5 millionand $116.5 million.
Adjusted net income for the year is expected to be between $57.0 millionand $59.0 million, an increase from prior guidance of between $55.0 millionand $58.0 million.
Diluted adjusted net income per share for the year is expected to be between $1.26 and $1.31, an increase from prior guidance of between $1.21 and $1.28.
The updated guidance reflects the benefit we have seen from increased car sales trends in the first half of the year and what we expect for the remainder of the year. We are increasing our estimate of new car sales by franchised dealers by 300,000 units, to approximately 15.5 million units, and similarly increasing our estimate for used car sales by franchised dealers by 400,000 units to approximately 15.4 million units in 2013. Diluted GAAP net income and adjusted net income per share guidance for the year is based on an estimated 45.2 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding, a decrease from prior guidance of 45.4 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 (loss). 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 acquisition method of accounting 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 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.
