day. Welcome to the Asbury Automotive Group Q3 2016 earnings call. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Mr. Matt Pettoni. Please go ahead, sir.
Thanks, operator. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Asbury Automotive Group's third quarter 2016 earnings call. Today's call is being recorded and will be available for replay later today. The press release detailing Asbury's third quarter results was issued earlier this morning and is posted on our website at asburyauto.com. Participating with us today are Craig Monaghan, our President and Chief Executive Officer, David Hult, our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and Keith Style, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. At the conclusion of our remarks, we will open the call up for questions. I will be available later for any follow-up questions you might have. Before we begin, I must remind you that the discussion during the call today is likely to contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements other than those which are historical in nature.
All forward-looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by the statements. For information regarding certain of the risks that may cause actual results to differ, please see our filings with the SEC from time to time, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 2015, any subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and our earnings release issued earlier today. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements. It is my pleasure to hand the call over to our CEO, Craig Monaghan. Craig?
Good morning, everyone. This morning, we announced adjusted earnings per share of $1.52 for the third quarter, a 6% increase over last year. With unit sales at 17.5 million, the SAAR was down 2% in the quarter. While our new unit volumes moved in line with the industry, we experienced new margin pressure due to a combination of lower manufacturer incentives and aggressive sales objectives. Despite these challenges, we successfully reduced our new vehicle inventory levels during the quarter. Our used vehicle business was adversely impacted by stop sale inventory associated with ongoing factory recalls. Despite the challenges we faced in both our new and used businesses, our strong parts and service growth enabled us to hold gross profit flat on a same-store basis. In summary, our adjusted results represent another third-quarter EPS record and our 29th consecutive quarter of EPS growth.
Going forward, we see further opportunities to grow our used vehicle, F&I, and parts and service businesses. Assuming a stable SAAR environment, we believe the operational initiatives we have underway will provide the platform for us to deliver modest EBITDA growth in 2017, which will be further enhanced by capital deployment. With that, I'll turn the call over to Keith to bring us through our financial highlights. Keith?
Thanks, Craig, and good morning, everyone. This morning, we reported record third-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.52. This represents a 6% increase from last year. Adjusted net income for the quarter excluded a $1.8 million pre-tax, real estate-related charge, or $0.05 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2015 excluded a $21.4 million pre-tax gain on divestitures, or $0.50 per diluted share, and an $800,000 tax benefit, or $0.03 per diluted share. Before I get into a more detailed review of our financial performance, I'd like to provide a high-level overview of our third-quarter results. First, our total revenue for the quarter was down 2%. However, on a same-store basis, our revenue was up 1%. The majority of the decline in total revenue is attributable to strategic divestitures we made during the second half of 2015 to realign our dealership portfolio.
Second, we added leverage to our balance sheet with our $200 million bond add-on in the fourth quarter of last year, increasing other interest expense by $2.5 million for the quarter. Finally, we deployed $206 million to repurchase our stock over the past year, reducing our average share count by 15% and enabling us to deliver 6% EPS growth for the quarter. With that summary behind us, let's turn to SG&A. Our SG&A as a percentage of gross profit for the quarter was 69.9%, up 70 basis points from last year. As we discussed on the call last quarter, increased enrollment in our employee medical insurance plans put pressure on our overall personnel expense. Adjusting for the $2 million increase in our benefit plans, our SG&A ratio would have been flat with last year.
We expect that the cost of employee medical insurance will continue to impact our SG&A, and as a result, we expect our SG&A as a percentage of gross profit to be between 70% and 71% for the fourth quarter. In terms of capital deployment, CapEx, excluding real estate purchases, totaled $19 million for the quarter. For 2016, we continue to plan for $80 million of CapEx, which includes $45 million associated with our core annual CapEx plan and $35 million of CapEx associated with recent acquisitions and construction, which will enable us to move out of facilities that are currently under lease. In addition to executing on our CapEx plan, for the year, we have purchased $20 million of previously leased property and $11 million of property for future expansion.
We now own approximately 70% of our real estate portfolio, which we believe provides flexibility and long-term value for our shareholders. We will continue to seek opportunities to purchase real estate currently under lease and acquire properties in connection with future dealership relocations. From a liquidity perspective, we ended the quarter with $4 million in cash, $36 million available in floor plan offset accounts, $90 million available on our used vehicle line, and $240 million available on our revolving credit line. Our total leverage ratio stands at 3.1 times, and on a net basis, our leverage ratio was 2.6 times, which is in line with our target range of 2.5 to 3 times. We are committed to remaining in our targeted range while maintaining flexibility to deploy capital on an opportunistic basis.
With respect to managing our broader dealership portfolio, we are currently in the process of divesting our remaining stores in Arkansas, which we anticipate closing late in the fourth quarter. We intend to redeploy the majority of the proceeds from this sale on an acquisition with a more favorable return. Naturally, both transactions are subject to manufacturer approval. Now I'll hand the call over to David to discuss our operational performance. David?
Thanks, Keith. Good morning, everyone. My remarks will pertain to our same-store performance compared to the third quarter of 2015. New vehicles. Our new unit volumes were in line with SAAR. From a margin perspective, luxury grosses improved. While both midline import and domestic margins declined, the declines were concentrated in two of our brands, where we saw lower dealer incentives and aggressive sales objectives. These factors resulted in our new vehicle gross profit decreasing by 7% for the quarter. Despite the challenging sales environment, we were able to reduce our new vehicle inventory by 11 days from last quarter to a 72-day supply on a trailing 30-day basis. Our new vehicle inventory totaled $695 million. Turning to used vehicles. Our used vehicle retail gross profit was down 6% due to lower unit sales and margin pressure. Our margins were impacted by the influx of off-lease vehicles into the market.
While we did not meet our used vehicle sales expectations, we are pleased with our 7% increase in CPO unit sales. We believe there is additional opportunity to grow our used vehicle unit sales, specifically our CPO sales, as additional off-lease inventory comes to market. Our used vehicle day supply was 40 days, which is above our targeted range of 30 to 35 days. Adjusting for the $11 million of stop sale inventory, our used vehicle day supply would have been slightly above our targeted range. Turning to F&I. Our team continues to deliver strong results, delivering F&I per vehicle retail of $1,393, flat with last year. We have not seen any changes in the lending environment. For parts and service. Parts and service was the highlight of the quarter.
We were able to offset the declines in our new and used business with strong growth in parts and service. Over the past couple of years, we have focused intently on growing this part of our business, including building out our leadership team, implementing business processes, and integrating technologies to enhance the customer experience. These efforts have resulted in consistent growth in our parts and service business, which continued into the third quarter with our teams delivering 7% gross profit growth, including 7% growth in customer pay and 11% growth in warranty. Looking forward, we believe we can continue to grow our parts and service gross profit in the mid-single-digit range. Finally, we'd like to express our appreciation to all of our teammates in the field and in our support center who continue to produce best-in-class performance in many areas. Again, thank you.
We'll now turn the call over to the operator and take your questions. Operator?
At this time, if you would like to ask a question, please signal by pressing *1 on your telephone keypad. If you are using a speakerphone, please make sure your mute function is turned off to allow your signal to reach our equipment. Again, press *, then the number one to ask a question. We'll take our first question from Rick Nelson with Stephens.
Thanks. Good morning.
Morning, Rick.
Morning.
To ask you about the GPU. There was quite a divergence there from big declines with domestic brands and increases in the premium luxury segments. I guess, some more color around that and your expectations as we push forward.
Rick, the way we look at it, as you pointed out, luxury was certainly a positive for us with a couple of our partners. I'll talk globally when you think about the incentives and year-over-year how it looks. It's not just a component of hitting a sales target, but it's the dollar incentive. You could actually hit the dollar incentives this year, but the numbers or the money that they pay out could be significantly lower than prior year. We've experienced some of that. It's a little bit of both. In some cases, we've missed sales targets, in some cases we've hit them, but the payouts have been significantly less.
Rick, it's Craig. Give you a little more color. The most challenging incentives we saw this quarter were on the domestic side of the business, far more challenging than from any of the other brands.
Thanks for that. Also, I'd like to ask you about the proceeds in Arkansas with that divestiture. It sounds like maybe you've got something lined up on the acquisition up front. If you could size both of those up, that would be helpful.
Yeah. Rick, that's correct. We do have something sized up, lined up. We expect to sign the contract on that any day now. The profit from the stores that we're acquiring would actually more than offset the profit from the stores that we're divesting. We think it's a good value-added transaction for the company.
Rick, this is Keith. Just from a modeling perspective, the assets that were placed in held for sale during the quarter equate to about $240 million in revenue.
Would the acquisition then be similar sized, or?
Rick, as Craig mentioned, it will be, on a revenue basis, not as large, but on a profitability basis, it will exceed what we're divesting at.
Okay. Thanks for that. Service and parts has been tracking well above that mid-single digit guidance now for several quarters. Any comments on the sustainability of that? Margin increases in customer pay and warranty.
Rick, this is David. We've implemented a lot of initiatives over the last couple of years, quite honestly, they're not fully out in the field at all locations yet, we're still in the process of rolling everything out. We're very happy with the progress that we have on parts and service, we feel that we have a very strong, stable base going forward.
If I could ask a final question about October, what you're seeing there. Some of our channel checks are indicating that things may have weakened some in October.
The hurricane, because of our location of our stores, Rick, impacted about a third of our business. While we didn't sustain a lot of damage, it was certainly a disruption for a few days to our business.
Okay. Thanks a lot. Good luck.
Thank you, Rick.
We'll take our next question from Bill Armstrong with C.L. King & Associates.
Good morning, gentlemen. On parts and service, obviously, you had a nice increase in same-store revenue, down about 60 basis points. I was wondering, what was the driver there for the relatively soft margins?
This is David. It was really pretty stable. It's really the mix between internal customer pay and warranty. With our declining used car sales, there wasn't as much internal growth, which we recognize at 100% margin. That's really what pulled it down a little bit.
Okay, got it. Used gross GPUs. You mentioned more off-lease vehicles. I was wondering if you could maybe flesh that out a little bit more. Why would that have a negative impact on your overall used gross profits?
This is David again. It really just goes down to the basic law of supply and demand. We've been forecasting it. The industry's been forecasting this influx of vehicles coming. I think we're all seeing it a little bit, and we seem to be somewhat in line with our peers as far as our margin depression.
Is this because you're converting a lot of them to CPO and CPO has relatively low margins because of the reconditioning cost?
When you look at a used car sale, we benefit obviously through parts and service. We benefit with F&I, and clearly we benefit on used car margins. Normally, our GPU, gross per unit, is very good.
This quarter, it was slightly depressed, but to your point, we were up 7% in CPO sales.
Got it. Okay, thank you.
We'll take our next question from Bret Jordan with Jefferies.
Hey, good morning, guys.
Hi, Bret.
A question on the stop sale inventory. I think you said you had about $11 million in the quarter. What's the flow of the recalled vehicle looking like now? Is the airbag part supply smoother? I guess, are you seeing any benefit in the customer pay from cross-selling that recall volume?
Bret, it's Craig. Let me start, and David can jump in. In some of our brands, when we came into the quarter, we had as much as 40% of our used vehicle inventory on stop sale. We made a lot of progress during the course of the quarter. That number now, in those same stores, is down to about 20%. We're starting to get the parts. We're starting to get the cars back out on the front line. Progress is being made, it's clear that when you've got a store and you've got that much inventory sitting in your lot, it's going to impact sales.
Bret, I'll just jump in with this to your comment on customer pay. We're heavy with Honda and Acura and some of the brands that have suffered, and obviously, that's why our warranty is up 11%. When we think about a warranty customer coming in, on average, and this will vary a little bit, but recent trends, we're typically upselling that customer a little over $100 a repair order on that warranty ticket. Customer pay is benefiting when the warranty customer comes in.
Okay, great. Just one last question, if there's going to be a flood of Honda CR-Vs because you got the parts finally, and you were able to fix and sell that used unit, is there going to be depreciation or, I guess, deflation in particular brands as the supply really hits the market? Is that something that the manufacturers are helping out on the absorption of?
It varies by manufacturer. Some of the manufacturers have been providing us with assistance both to carry the vehicles and for depreciation. Obviously, we won't feel much of an impact there. There are other situations where there could be some impact on the vehicles. I would say, broadly speaking, a lot of these vehicles are vehicles that are very much in demand, and we're actually looking forward to bringing them to market. David may have more color to add.
No, Craig, I agree with you, Bret. That particular model you mentioned, the demand is very high, so I can't imagine ever having too much supply. We do have a new model coming out soon, which will probably create a lot more trade-ins. We look at that as very positive going forward.
Okay, great. Thank you.
We'll take our next question from Mike Montani with Evercore ISI.
Hey, guys. Just wanted to follow up on the GPU decline that we saw this quarter. I guess the question I had was twofold. One is, how should we think about new vehicle GPUs into the fourth quarter? Do you look for more of a 2015 step up sequentially of like $90-$100? Or is it more like 2014 where you could get $150, just because the results were somewhat depressed last year? A follow-up on that.
Mike, it's Craig. Let me start. It's very difficult for us to give you a precise forecast on how these incentive programs are going to play out in the future. As you see in our results this quarter, these GPUs are very much a function of what's happening with these sales targets and incentive programs. We've seen some of the manufacturers, certainly one of the manufacturers, has made some production cuts. I think that helps. We've seen some modifications to some of the incentive programs. We think that helps. I think it would be unrealistic for us to say that we can give you a hard forecast where this goes, certainly next quarter or the quarter thereafter.
The only comment I would add to that is, one of our domestic partners recently stopped their stair step program. Going into the fourth quarter, we don't have those incentives. When you look at the fourth quarter of 2015, those incentives certainly existed if you hit the targets.
Okay. That was actually what I was going to follow up on. I guess from that domestic partner, it sounds like sequentially they stopped the program, if I'm not mistaken, October 1st. Is that right?
That's correct.
I guess sequentially, is it fair to say for that one that it actually is a firmer GPU environment, all else equal?
It's too early to tell.
Okay. If I could on a separate note, the F&I per unit has been flattening out here a little bit, even though transaction prices are rising. Can you just talk about what's going on with attach rate? Is there some kind of an impact due to capped markups there that's constraining that?
I would tell you it's a combination of a few things in our F&I PVR in the quarter. It's a combination of chargebacks, some turnover in folks, and in some cases, at some locations, some just poor performance in product sales.
Okay. If some of your peers, like AN and GPI, are like $1,600 per retail unit, and you all are more like $1,400, is it realistic to think that that continues to improve, or have we hit a near-term limit here?
We think this quarter was a small setback for us when it comes to F&I, and we're pretty positive about the fourth quarter.
Great. Thanks.
As it relates to that, right?
Last, if I could, was on tax rate. Can you guys just clarify how to think about that into fourth quarter and then moving forward, giving some of these parts that we've been discussing?
Yeah, Mike, this is Keith. Our tax rate is moving around a little bit with some discrete items during the quarter, maybe a $0.01, $0.02 pickup on tax rate from discrete items. For planning purposes, we should be looking at 38%-38.5% into the fourth quarter into next year.
Okay. Thank you.
Thanks, Mike.
We'll take our next question from Jamie Albertine with Consumer Edge Research.
Great. Thank you for taking the question. Good morning, gentlemen.
Morning.
Morning, Jamie.
I wanted to, sorry to do this, to belabor the point on GPUs. On the used side of the business, I think as you mentioned, it seems like the industry's expecting this broader supply improvement. You got some pricing, in fact, in the quarter looked like on a positive year-over-year basis from a comp store sales perspective. Yet margins were under pressure. I imagine it's going to be volatile here on out. It looks like your compare eases significantly for used vehicle gross margins in the fourth quarter. What I'm really asking is how do I balance sort of an easier compare with what I would imagine is further increase in supply that could pressure prices, looking into the balance of the year?
Jamie, they're all factors that we take into account as well. Again, I come back to, we think we can do better in used. We think we can do better with CPO. It's an area where, quite frankly, we did not live up to our own internal expectations.
It's going to get a tremendous amount of focus from us as we move forward.
Is there a reference point you can provide? I think you said historically that some of your better stores may be as high as a 2 to 1 used to new retail ratio, maybe even higher, if I recall. Your average is about 0.75, if I did the math right here. How quickly, and how many opportunities are there within the portfolio? How quickly can we see that trend higher? What are some of the best stores running at right now?
Some of the best stores we have run a little bit over 1 to 1.
Okay
which is well above, obviously, the industry average. We're trying to look at used vehicles in a holistic approach and understanding what it generates for parts and service and that internal gross and how we benefit from that. As far as margin pressure going forward, I think it'll look similar to what it looks like right now. Our opportunity is within the volume aspect. Again, I've said it, I'll state it again, we're very happy with that CPO increase. We think there's more opportunity there, and we think some things that we've been working on within this past quarter will tend to come to fruition, plus the benefit of these stop sale vehicles actually freeing up.
I appreciate that. If I can sneak just a strategic question in very quickly. Within your portfolio, and I know you span a lot of geographies, obviously a lot of brands within those geographies, have you seen a divergence between the best and the worst markets sort of in the last few months? As it seems, at least from the outside looking in, like SAAR has gotten a lot choppier depending on who you talk to. I'm wondering if your markets have widened in terms of best versus worst, and in the worst-performing markets, if the offsets are occurring as you'd imagine, parts and service is picking up, F&I is stickier maybe than last recession. Just trying to get a sense of the resiliency in those underperforming markets.
Well, that's a big question. Let me take a shot at it, and maybe Keith and David have more to add. Markets are different. As you would imagine, I think based in part on the strength of the local economy. Clearly, our stores in Texas are more challenged than the stores we see in Florida, as an example. Just the kind of thing that you would expect. I think brand is also important. If we were to sit down together and go through a list of stores and markets, I think brand might jump out at us more here this quarter than markets. You see it here in these GPUs. It's hard for us to absorb this type of a GPU movement and not have a material impact on the bottom line at store.
Got it. Very helpful.
With that in mind, the way we're thinking about the business is, let's attack the things that we can control. As we've mentioned earlier, we think there's opportunities for us to do better in F&I. It's a 100% margin business for us, it's an area that we continue to focus on. There's clearly opportunity to grow our used vehicle business. As I mentioned earlier, I think we didn't live up to our expectations in the quarter. We think there's a lot of growth opportunity there, in many ways, that's a key driver across the entire stores, as David mentioned, because it brings us incremental F&I benefits as well as benefits in parts and service. Like David said earlier, parts and service is
Parts and service is where we're making a lot of our investment in people. We're investing in systems. We're putting a lot of our marketing initiatives behind our parts and service areas. There's a lot of capital that's being invested in our collision centers. It's an area that we feel very good about. We step back from everything that we see happening. There's still a lot we can control. There's a lot going on. There are a lot of initiatives that'll come to fruition, we feel pretty good about how we can manage through this softness, if you would, as we move forward.
Got it. Extremely helpful as always, gentlemen. Thank you again, good luck in the fourth quarter.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing.
We'll take our next question from John Murphy with Bank of America.
Morning, this is Liz Suzuki on for John. You may have mentioned this already, but were there any particular brands or vehicle classes that actually experienced any year-over-year improvement in gross profit per unit, or was it pretty much just weak across the board?
The luxury segment was up year-over-year, and we did have some midline imports that were up year-over-year as well.
Any particular brands in there that you would call out as being strong?
We prefer not to mention any of them.
Got it. It looks like you took a break on share buybacks even though the average share price was pretty similar in the third quarter versus the second. In fact, it was actually down a little bit. Are you getting more cautious about the company's liquidity needs given the tough selling environment, or was there another channel of capital deployment that looked more attractive this quarter?
Hey, Liz. This is Keith. I think when we look at capital deployment, we take a lot of things into consideration. We look at our business, the performance throughout the quarter. We look at the broader markets. We look at where we're trading from a share buyback perspective. There's a lot of things taken into consideration. To answer your specific question from a liquidity standpoint, no, we're still well within our targets on our leverage ratios. You can see that with the list of liquidity position I provided. We have plenty of liquidity. Quite frankly, we're very well-positioned. We're generating and anticipate generating about $100 million in free cash flow a year, and our leverage ratio being net at 2.6 times, we're in a very good position. As Craig mentioned in his prepared remarks, we anticipate that capital allocation will enhance our future share performance or earnings performance.
Maybe if I could just jump in there and give a little more color. If you were to look at the months across the third quarter, July was a very soft month for us and caused us to reconsider our capital or our share repurchase programs in light of the softness that we saw in July. The August and September actually performed considerably better than July.
All right. Thanks very much.
Thanks.
Thank you, Liz.
We'll take our next question from Chris Valdgari with Wolfe Research.
Thanks for taking the question. Your plus seven CPO is actually really strong, especially relative to peers in the market. One, I was wondering if you can remind us what your CPO penetration is, two, more broadly, how you think about the CPO market overall. Are the OEMs still being supportive right now given new vehicles are flattening out? Do you think at an industry level, are we reaching the upper band of consumer demand? Just some thoughts there.
From a CPO perspective, like I said, we're up about 7%, but the percentage of our total business, it runs about 35%, 40% of our total used car sales. We see that there's opportunity there to grow that number further. I don't know if I answered fully your question, if I missed a piece of it.
Yeah, I was just wondering, the market itself seems like it's slowing. Obviously, it's not for you guys, but maybe just some thoughts overall on the CPO market, if you have any.
From talking to peers and what I hear in our industry, it doesn't appear to be slowing at this point from what we can see.
Okay. The next question I had was on stop sales. It seems like, if I calculate correctly, about 7% of your used inventory is now on stop sale versus 10% last quarter. I guess one, is it safe to assume the worst is behind you and for the industry? Two, I was just wondering if you could talk more broadly. It seems more mixed from your public peers in terms of the exposure to the stop sales, but would you say the large privates are experiencing similar headwinds to some of the smaller privates, or it's hard to, I guess, directionally quantify?
Chris, it's Craig. I'll start, and then David can give us more color. The issue with stop sale is that it's concentrated in certain brands. We've got a couple of brands where our stop sale inventories, used vehicle inventories are in the 15%-20% range, and that's got an impact on the operation of the store. Like we mentioned earlier, the situation is improving. We saw good improvement over the course of the quarter. Until we get this completely behind us, it does cause some disruption, again, in selected brands.
The only thing I would add to that, when you talked about the public and the private side, it really comes down to the brand mix and what someone has, what the impact will be.
One final question. I noticed that for the Q auto, it looks like you're kind of co-branding that with your Courtesy brand now. One, I was just kind of curious on your learnings from that, I know this is a longer-term question, but if you decide to roll out Q auto across other markets, how do you consider the branding? Does your experience thus far kind of maybe rethink a national rebranding strategy down the road?
Q is a distribution channel that we continue to experiment with. You're correct, we are experimenting, especially on the web. That's probably where you saw that branding modification that we've made. It's still Q. If you were to drive by a store, you'd see a very large Q on it. We're concentrating in the Tampa market. We are moving to the sub-brand of Q auto, a Courtesy quality outlet. Our view is that we're going to experiment with this, see how it works. We've got three of the stores that are using that concept on the web. The fourth store is still a pure Q store; we're continuing to experiment with our positioning.
Our view is that if we can make that approach successful in that market, we could move to another market, Atlanta, for example. We could still have a model where it's a large Q on the store, but instead of it being a Courtesy quality outlet, it could be a Nalley quality outlet.
Okay. That's very helpful. Thank you for the question.
Sure thing.
Our next question comes from Mike Montani with Evercore ISI.
Hey, guys. Just wanted to follow up, if I could, on the SAAR and the new car environment. Understanding Hurricane Matthew impacted you for a few days, but if you were to try to back that out and just look at the daily selling rate excluding that, did you notice any divergence from the 3Q trend? Is it consistent, better, worse? Can you just discuss that?
I would say it's consistent.
Okay. Then if I could, just to follow on, with the stop sale. If I heard correctly, I think you said 20% of the units are still on stop sale, and that had been 40% to start the quarter. I guess, first of all, is that correct? Then within that, are you seeing down 40%-50% volumes for those units that are on stop sale? Because I guess I'm trying to get my arms around the potential headwind, and that would really suggest that all else equal, it could be high single-digit headwind to the used business.
I'll start off. In one of our brands, we started the quarter with some of those stores at 40% of their inventory on stop sale. That same brand is now down to 20%. If we were to rank the stores, I think our second highest brand is in the 17% range, possibly, and then we're going to drop down into the low teens. Again, this is probably three brands where we see this issue. You're going to have to help me with the rest of the question. I missed that.
Well, I guess what I'm trying to get at is, for those stores, are you seeing a material divergence in their used unit comp performance versus the stores that are not impacted by the stop sale issue or stop sales?
Yeah, absolutely.
I guess, mathematically, can you put anything around that? Like on a similar geography, are we talking about 100 or 200 bips or is this like 800, 900 bip kind of impact or divergence in trend, rather?
Mike, this is Keith. We don't have that data all set in front of us right now, it's certainly something we can talk about and share in the future.
Okay. Thanks a lot.
That concludes today's session. We appreciate you participating with us, we look forward to talking to you at the end of next quarter.
