NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We are one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States. As of June 30, 2020, we owned and operated 102 new vehicle franchises (83 dealership locations) representing 31 automobile brands and 24 collision repair centers in 16 metropolitan markets within nine states. Our stores offer an extensive range of automotive products and services, including new and used vehicles; parts and service, which includes repair and maintenance services, replacement parts and collision repair services; and finance and insurance products. As of June 30, 2020, our new vehicle revenue brand mix consisted of 44% imports, 33% luxury, and 23% domestic brands.
Our retail network is made up of dealerships operating primarily under the following locally-branded dealership groups:
Coggin dealerships operating primarily in Jacksonville, Fort Pierce and Orlando, Florida;
Courtesy dealerships operating in Tampa, Florida;
Crown dealerships operating in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia;
Greenville Automotive dealerships operating in Greenville, South Carolina;
Hare and Estes dealerships operating in the Indianapolis, Indiana area;
McDavid dealerships operating in metropolitan Austin and Dallas, Texas;
Nalley dealerships operating in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia;
Plaza dealerships operating in metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri; and
Mike Shaw dealerships in the Denver, Colorado area.

On July 6, 2020, the Company, through two of its subsidiaries, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Revised Asset Purchase Agreement”) with certain members of the Park Place Dealership group, to acquire substantially all of the assets of, and lease the real property related to, 12 new vehicle dealership franchises, two collision centers and an auto auction comprising the Park Place Dealership group (collectively, the “Revised Transaction”) for a purchase price of approximately $685.0 million of goodwill and approximately $50.0 million for parts, fixed assets, and leaseholds (excluding vehicle inventory), subject to certain adjustments described in the Revised Asset Purchase Agreement. The closing of the Revised Transaction is subject to various customary closing conditions, including approval from the applicable automotive manufacturers. See Note 13 "Subsequent Events" for a description of the Revised Transaction.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and reflect the consolidated accounts of Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (the "Company") and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. If necessary, reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in order to conform to current presentation.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2020, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, have been included, unless otherwise indicated. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period, or any full year period. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read together with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed quarterly and the effects of any revisions are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to inventory
10

Table of Contents
valuation reserves, variable consideration and constraint considerations related to retro-commission arrangements, reserves for chargebacks against revenue recognized from the sale of finance and insurance products, reserves for insurance programs, certain assumptions related to intangible and long-lived assets, and reserves for certain legal or similar proceedings relating to our business operations.
Contracts-In-Transit
Contracts-in-transit represent receivables from third-party finance companies for the portion of new and used vehicle purchase price financed by customers through sources arranged by us.
Accounts Receivable
The allowance for credit losses is estimated using an annual loss rate approach, by type of receivable, utilizing historical loss rates which have been adjusted for expectations of future economic conditions.
Revenue Recognition
Please refer to Note 2 "Revenue Recognition".
Internal Profit
Revenues and expenses associated with internal work performed by our parts and service departments on new and used vehicle inventory are eliminated in consolidation. The gross profit earned by our parts and service departments for internal work performed is included as a reduction of Parts and Service Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income upon the sale of the vehicle. The costs incurred by our new and used vehicle departments for work performed by our parts and service departments is included in either New Vehicle Cost of Sales or Used Vehicle Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income, depending on the classification of the vehicle serviced. We eliminate the internal profit on vehicles that remain in inventory.
Income Taxes
We use the liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis using currently enacted tax rates.
Share Repurchases
Share repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions under the authorization approved by the Board of Directors. Periodically, the Company may retire repurchased shares of common stock previously held by the Company as treasury stock. In accordance with our accounting policy, we allocate any excess share repurchase price over par value between additional paid-in capital, which is limited to amounts initially recorded for the same issue and retained earnings.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. The Company excluded 79,600 restricted share units, issued under the Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, from its computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, because they were anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, there were no adjustments to the numerator necessary to compute diluted earnings per share.
Assets Held for Sale and Liabilities Associated with Assets Held for Sale
Certain amounts have been classified as Assets Held for Sale in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale may include assets and liabilities associated with pending dealership disposals, real estate we are actively marketing to sell, and any related mortgage notes payable or other liabilities, if applicable. Classification as held for sale begins on the date that we have met all of the criteria for classification as held for sale.
At the time of classifying assets as held for sale, we compare the carrying value of these assets to estimates of fair value to assess for impairment. We compare the carrying value to estimates of fair value utilizing the assistance of third-party broker opinions of value and third-party desktop appraisals to assist in our fair value estimates related to real estate properties.

Statements of Cash Flows
Borrowings and repayments of floor plan notes payable to a lender unaffiliated with the manufacturer from which we purchase a particular new vehicle ("Non-Trade") and all floor plan notes payable relating to pre-owned vehicles (together referred to as "Floor Plan Notes Payable—Non-Trade") are classified as financing activities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, with borrowings reflected separately from repayments. The net change in floor plan notes payable to a lender affiliated with the manufacturer from which we purchase a particular new vehicle (collectively referred to as "Floor Plan Notes Payable—Trade") is classified as an operating activity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Borrowings of floor plan notes payable associated with inventory acquired in connection with all acquisitions and repayments made in connection with all divestitures are classified as financing activities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Cash flows related to floor plan notes payable included in operating activities differ from cash flows related to floor plan notes payable included in financing activities only to the extent that the former are payable to a lender affiliated with the manufacturer from which we purchased the related inventory, while the latter are payable to a lender not affiliated with the manufacturer from which we purchased the related inventory.
Loaner vehicles account for a significant portion of Other current assets. We acquire loaner vehicles either with available cash or through borrowing from either our manufacturer affiliated lenders or through our senior secured credit agreement with Bank of America, as administrative agent, and the other agents and lenders party thereto (as amended, the "2019 Senior Credit Facility"). Loaner vehicles are initially used by our service department for a short period of time (typically six to twelve months) before we seek to sell them. Therefore, we classify the acquisition of loaner vehicles in Other current assets and the borrowings and repayments of loaner vehicle notes payable in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Loaner vehicles are depreciated over the service period to their estimated value. At the end of the loaner service period, loaner vehicles are transferred from Other current assets to used vehicle inventory. These transfers are reflected as non-cash transfers between Other current assets and Inventories in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changed the way entities assess the impairment of its financial instruments based on its estimate of expected credit losses versus the current incurred loss model. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or performing a service to a customer. Sales and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
Disaggregation of Revenue

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Results of acquired dealerships are included in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income commencing on the date of acquisition. Our acquisitions are accounted for such that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair values, with any excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is an asset representing operational synergies and future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The fair value of our manufacturer franchise rights are determined as of the acquisition date, by discounting the projected cash flows specific to each franchise. Included in this analysis are market participant assumptions related to the cash flows directly attributable to the franchise rights, including year-over-year and terminal growth rates, working capital requirements, weighted average cost of capital, future gross margins, and future selling, general, and administrative expenses.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we acquired the assets of three franchises (one dealership location) in the Denver, Colorado market for a combined purchase price of $63.6 million. We funded these acquisitions with an aggregate of $34.5 million of cash and $27.1 million of floor plan borrowings for the purchase of the related new vehicle inventory. In the aggregate, this acquisition included purchase price holdbacks of $2.0 million for potential indemnity claims made by us with respect to the acquired franchises. In addition to the acquisition amounts above, we released $1.5 million of purchase price holdbacks related to a prior year acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we acquired the assets of eight franchises (four dealership locations) in the Indianapolis, Indiana market for a purchase price of $121.0 million. We funded these acquisitions with $70.8 million of cash, $47.7 million of floor plan borrowings for the purchase of the related new vehicle inventory, and purchase price holdbacks of $2.5 million for potential indemnity claims made by us with respect to the acquired franchises.
The goodwill and manufacturer franchise rights associated with our acquisitions will be deductible for federal and state income tax purposes ratably over a 15 year period.
Below is the allocation of purchase price for the acquisitions completed during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our 2020 valuation for manufacturer franchise rights, real estate, property and equipment, and our assessment with respect to certain assumed leases is preliminary as of June 30, 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we sold one franchise (one dealership location) in the Atlanta, Georgia market, and we sold six franchises (five dealership locations) and one collision center in the Jackson, Mississippi market. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain totaling $33.7 million, which is presented in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as Gain on dealership divestitures, net. The divested businesses would not be considered significant subsidiaries as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold one franchise (one dealership location) and one collision center in the Houston, Texas market. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain totaling $11.7 million, which is presented in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as Gain on dealership divestitures, net. The divested businesses would not be considered significant subsidiaries as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X.
On December 11, 2019, we announced the proposed acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the businesses of the Park Place Dealership family of entities (collectively, "Park Place") pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2019, among the Company, Park Place and the other parties thereto (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), and related agreements and transactions (collectively, the "Acquisition"). On March 24, 2020, we delivered notice to the sellers terminating the Acquisition pursuant to the terms of the related agreements and transactions in exchange for the payment of $10.0 million of liquidated damages which is reflected in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as Other operating (income) expense, net. See Note 9 "Debt" for details related to the impact on certain financing arrangements as a result of terminating the Acquisition. In addition, see Note 13 "Subsequent Events" for an update on the proposed acquisition of Park Place.

The lower of cost and net realizable value reserves reduced total inventories by $5.1 million and $6.1 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In addition to inventories shown above, we had $67.7 million of inventories classified as Assets held for sale in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019, associated with pending dealership disposals. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, certain automobile manufacturer incentives reduced new vehicle inventory cost by $5.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively, and reduced new vehicle cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 by $19.8 million and $21.8 million, respectively.
6. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale include (i) assets and liabilities associated with pending dealership disposals, (ii) real estate not currently used in our operations that we are actively marketing to sell and (iii) the related mortgage notes payable, if applicable.
Real estate assets held for sale not currently used in our operations and other real estate assets, totaled $28.7 million and $38.9 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. There were no liabilities associated with these properties as of June 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, there was $8.3 million of mortgage notes payable.
As of December 31, 2019, there were seven franchises (six dealership locations) and one collision center pending disposition, with assets and liabilities totaling $115.3 million and $92.6 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a net pre-tax gain totaling $33.7 million, on the sale of these dealerships. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we sold one vacant property with a net book value of $3.7 million. In July 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved the proposed divestiture of two dealership locations.
7. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE FRANCHISE RIGHTS
Our acquisitions have resulted in the recording of goodwill and intangible franchise rights. Goodwill is an asset representing operational synergies and future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Franchise rights are indefinite-lived intangible assets representing our rights under franchise agreements with vehicle manufacturers. Goodwill and intangible franchise rights are tested annually as of October 1st,or more frequently in the event that facts and circumstances indicate a triggering event has occurred.
As a result of the adverse impact on our dealership operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company considered the extent to which the COVID-19 impacts combined with other relevant circumstances (e.g., the results of the Company’s
15

Table of Contents
most recent impairment test) could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the Company’s franchise rights and goodwill associated with the Company’s reporting units.
To the extent that we determined that the totality of events and circumstances, and their effect on the significant inputs into the fair value determination of our franchise rights and reporting units, would more likely than not lead to an impairment of the carrying value of the franchise rights or goodwill reporting units, we performed quantitative impairment tests as of March 31, 2020. We performed qualitative assessments on the remaining franchise rights and goodwill reporting units as of March 31, 2020.
The results of our quantitative and qualitative assessments indicated that the carrying value of goodwill related to all reporting units did not exceed their fair value.
The quantitative impairment tests for franchise rights included a comparison of the estimated fair value to the carrying value of each franchise right asset. The Company estimates fair value by using a discounted cash flow model (income approach) based on market participant assumptions related to the cash flows directly attributable to the franchise. These assumptions include year-over-year and terminal growth rates, working capital requirements, weighted average cost of capital, future gross margins, and future selling, general, and administrative expenses.
The results of the quantitative impairment testing for certain franchise rights as of March 31, 2020, identified that the carrying values of certain of our franchise rights assets exceeded their fair value. As a result, we recognized a $23.0 million pre-tax non-cash impairment charge during the three months ended March 31, 2020. We did not record an impairment charge related to goodwill and franchise rights for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Liabilities associated with assets held for sale.
(b) Amounts reflected for floor plan notes payable—new non-trade as of December 31, 2019, excluded $40.9 million classified as Liabilities associated with assets held for sale.
We have a floor plan facility with Ford Motor Credit Company ("Ford Credit") to purchase new Ford and Lincoln vehicle inventory. Our floor plan facility with Ford Credit was amended in July 2020 to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2021.
We have established a floor plan notes payable offset account with Ford Credit that allows us to transfer cash to the account as an offset to our outstanding Floor Plan Notes Payable—Trade. In addition, we have a similar floor plan offset account with Bank of America that allows us to offset our Floor Plan Notes Payable—Non-Trade. These accounts allow us to transfer cash to reduce the amount of outstanding floor plan notes payable that would otherwise accrue interest, while retaining the ability to transfer amounts from the offset account into our operating cash accounts within one to two days. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $116.7 million and $132.1 million, respectively, in these floor plan offset accounts.
At our option, we have the ability to re-designate a portion of our availability under the Revolving Credit Facility to the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility or the Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility. The maximum amount we are allowed to re-designate is determined based on our aggregate revolving commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility, less $50.0 million. In addition, we are able to re-designate any amounts moved to the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility or Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility

back to the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2019, $190.0 million of availability under our Revolving Credit Facility was re-designated to the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility to take advantage of the lower commitment fee rates on the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility when compared to the Revolving Credit Facility. On March 17, 2020, the entire $190.0 million was re-designated from the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility to the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, on March 18, 2020 we borrowed $110.0 million under the Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility. During the second quarter of 2020, we repaid $35.0 million on the Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility.

6.00% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024
On February 3, 2020, we issued a conditional notice of redemption to the holders of our 6% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (the "6% Notes"), notifying such holders that we intended to redeem all of the 6% Notes. On March 4, 2020, the 6% Notes were redeemed at 103% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of the 6% Notes of $19.1 million which comprised a redemption premium of $18.0 million and the write-off of the unamortized premium and debt issuance costs totaling $1.1 million related to the 6% Notes on the redemption date.
New Senior Notes
On February 19, 2020, the Company completed its offering of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $525.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes, the “Notes”).  The Company paid lender fees of $6.8 million in conjunction with the Notes offering and incurred additional debt issuance costs of $3.1 million. The lender fees and other debt issuance costs incurred are being amortized over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method.
17

Table of Contents
The 2028 Notes and 2030 Notes mature on March 1, 2028 and March 1, 2030, respectively. Interest is payable semiannually, on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The Notes were offered, together with additional borrowings and cash on hand, to (i) fund, if consummated, the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Park Place, (ii) redeem all of our outstanding $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.0% Notes and (iii) pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing.
As a result of the termination of the Acquisition, the Company delivered a notice of special mandatory redemption to holders of its 2028 Notes and 2030 Notes pursuant to which it would redeem on a pro rata basis (1) $245.0 million of the 2028 Notes and (2) $280.0 million of the 2030 Notes, in each case, at 100% of the respective principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding, the special mandatory redemption date. On March 30, 2020, the Company completed the redemption and recorded a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.5 million.
The remaining outstanding 2028 Notes and 2030 Notes are subject to customary covenants, events of default and optional redemption provisions. In addition, the remaining outstanding 2028 Notes and 2030 Notes are required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 within 270 days of the closing date for the offering.
We are a holding company with no independent assets or operations. For all relevant periods presented, our 6.0% Notes, 2028 Notes and 2030 Notes have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by substantially all of our subsidiaries. Any subsidiaries that have not guaranteed such notes are "minor" (as defined in Rule 3-10(h) of Regulation S-X). As of June 30, 2020, there were no significant restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute cash to us or our guarantor subsidiaries.
Amendments to 2019 Senior Credit Facility
In connection with the Acquisition, we obtained amendments, among other things, to (1) increase the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to $350.0 million, (2) increase the aggregate commitments under the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility to $1.35 billion and (3) increase the aggregate commitments under the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility to $200.0 million. These amendments to increase the aggregate commitments were to be effective concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition. As a result of the termination of the Acquisition, the aforementioned amendments did not become effective.
On March 18, 2020, the Company borrowed an additional $237.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and, as a result has no additional availability thereunder. In July 2020, we repaid $162.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility.
New BofA Real Estate Facility
In connection with the Acquisition, on February 7, 2020 we entered into the New BofA Real Estate Facility, which provided for term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $280.6 million, upon the consummation of the Acquisition. As a result of the termination of the Acquisition, the anticipated borrowings under the New BofA Real Estate Facility have not occurred and the agreement governing the New BofA Real Estate Facility has terminated.

2018 Wells Fargo Master Loan Facility
On June 26, 2020, the Company borrowed an additional $69.4 million under the 2018 Wells Fargo Master Loan Facility.
10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE
In determining fair value, we use various valuation approaches, including market and income approaches. Accounting standards establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the presumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1-Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.
Level 2-Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include interest rate swap instruments, exchange-traded debt securities that are not actively traded or do not have a high trading volume, mortgage notes payable, and certain real estate properties on a non-recurring basis.
18

Table of Contents
Level 3-Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Asset and liability measurements utilizing Level 3 inputs include those used in estimating the fair value of certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities in purchase acquisitions and those used in the assessment of impairment for goodwill and manufacturer franchise rights.
The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment required to determine fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Fair value is a market-based exit price measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, our assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. We use inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of significant market fluctuations.
Financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, contracts-in-transit, accounts receivable, cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies, accounts payable, floor plan notes payable, subordinated long-term debt, mortgage notes payable, and interest rate swap instruments. The carrying values of our financial instruments, with the exception of subordinated long-term debt and mortgage notes payable, approximate fair value due to (i) their short-term nature, (ii) recently completed market transactions, or (iii) existence of variable interest rates, which approximate market rates. The fair value of our subordinated long-term debt is based on reported market prices in an inactive market that reflects Level 2 inputs. We estimate the fair value of our mortgage notes payable using a present value technique based on current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments that reflect Level 2 inputs.
A summary of the carrying values and fair values of our Notes and our Mortgage notes payable is as follows:

Interest Rate Swap Agreements
In June 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal amount of $100.0 million. This swap was designed to provide a hedge against changes in variable rate cash flows regarding fluctuations in the one month LIBOR, through maturity in February 2025. The notional value of this swap was $77.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and is reducing over its remaining term to $53.1 million at maturity.
In November 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal amount of $75.0 million. This swap was designed to provide a hedge against changes in variable rate cash flows regarding fluctuations in the one month
19

Table of Contents
LIBOR, through maturity in September 2023. The notional value of this swap was $50.8 million as of June 30, 2020 and is reducing over its remaining term to $38.7 million at maturity.
The fair value of cash flow swaps is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows, determined on the basis of forward interest rates and present value factors. Fair value estimates reflect a credit adjustment to the discount rate applied to all expected cash flows under the swaps. Other than this input, all other inputs used in the valuation of these swaps are designated to be Level 2 fair values. The fair value of our swaps was an $8.9 million and a $3.8 million liability as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The following table provides information regarding the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements and the impact on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

(In millions)
Other current liabilities$2.5  $0.9  
Other long-term liabilities6.4  2.9  
Total fair value$8.9  $3.8  
Both of our interest rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment. These interest rate swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Information about the effect of our interest rate swap agreements in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, is as follows (in millions):
For the Three Months Ended June 30,Results Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)

2019$(4.3) Other interest expense, net$0.1  
 On the basis of yield curve conditions as of June 30, 2020 and including assumptions about future changes in fair value, we expect the amount to be reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss into earnings within the next 12 months will be losses of $2.5 million.
11. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we made interest payments, including amounts capitalized, totaling $32.6 million and $47.3 million, respectively. Included in these interest payments are $13.2 million and $20.8 million, of floor plan interest payments during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we made income tax payments, net of refunds received, totaling $1.3 million and $27.6 million, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we transferred $71.6 million and $72.5 million, respectively, of loaner vehicles from Other current assets to Inventories on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Our dealerships are party to dealer and framework agreements with applicable vehicle manufacturers. In accordance with these agreements, each dealership has certain rights and is subject to restrictions typical in the industry. The ability of these manufacturers to influence the operations of the dealerships or the loss of any of these agreements could have a materially negative impact on our operating results.
In some instances, manufacturers may have the right, and may direct us, to implement costly capital improvements to dealerships as a condition to entering into, renewing, or extending franchise agreements with them. Manufacturers also typically require that their franchises meet specific standards of appearance. These factors, either alone or in combination, could cause us to use our financial resources on capital projects that we might not have planned for or otherwise determined to undertake.
From time to time, we and our dealerships are or may become involved in various claims relating to, and arising out of, our business and our operations. These claims may involve, but not be limited to, financial and other audits by vehicle manufacturers or lenders and certain federal, state, and local government authorities, which have historically related primarily to (i) incentive and warranty payments received from vehicle manufacturers, or allegations of violations of manufacturer agreements or policies, (ii) compliance with lender rules and covenants, and (iii) payments made to government authorities relating to federal, state, and local taxes, as well as compliance with other government regulations. Claims may also arise through litigation, government proceedings, and other dispute resolution processes. Such claims, including class actions, could relate to, but may not be limited to, the practice of charging administrative fees and other fees and commissions, employment-related matters, truth-in-lending and other dealer assisted financing obligations, contractual disputes, actions brought by governmental authorities, and other matters. We evaluate pending and threatened claims and establish loss contingency reserves based upon outcomes we currently believe to be probable and reasonably estimable.
We believe we have adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. Based on our review of the various types of claims currently known to us, there is no indication of material reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts accrued in the aggregate. We currently do not anticipate that any known claim will materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. However, the outcome of any matter cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more matters presently known or arising in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations.
A significant portion of our business involves the sale of vehicles, parts, or vehicles composed of parts that are manufactured outside the United States. As a result, our operations are subject to customary risks of importing merchandise, including fluctuations in the relative values of currencies, import duties, exchange controls, trade restrictions, work stoppages, and general political and socio-economic conditions in foreign countries. The United States or the countries from which our products are imported may, from time to time, impose new quotas, duties, tariffs, or other restrictions, or adjust presently prevailing quotas, duties, or tariffs, which may affect our operations, and our ability to purchase imported vehicles and/or parts at reasonable prices.
Substantially all of our facilities are subject to federal, state and local provisions regarding the discharge of materials into the environment. Compliance with these provisions has not had, nor do we expect such compliance to have, any material effect upon our capital expenditures, net earnings, financial condition, liquidity or competitive position. We believe that our current practices and procedures for the control and disposition of such materials comply with applicable federal, state, and local requirements. No assurances can be provided, however, that future laws or regulations, or changes in existing laws or regulations, would not require us to expend significant resources in order to comply therewith.
We had $12.7 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2020, which are required by certain of our insurance providers. In addition, as of June 30, 2020, we maintained a $5.3 million surety bond line in the ordinary course of our business. Our letters of credit and surety bond line are considered to be off balance sheet arrangements.
Our other material commitments include (i) floor plan notes payable, (ii) operating leases, (iii) long-term debt and (iv) interest on long-term debt, as described elsewhere herein.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 6, 2020, the Company, through two of its subsidiaries, entered into the Revised Asset Purchase Agreement with certain members of the Park Place Dealership group, to acquire substantially all of the assets of, and lease the real property related to, 12 new vehicle dealership franchises, two collision centers and an auto auction comprising the Park Place Dealership group for a purchase price of approximately $685.0 million of goodwill and approximately $50.0 million for parts, fixed assets, and leaseholds (excluding vehicle inventory), subject to certain adjustments described in the Revised Asset Purchase Agreement. The purchase price would be financed through a combination of cash, debt and seller financing.

Table of Contents
The Revised Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by each of the parties and the purchaser and sellers have agreed to indemnify one another against certain damages, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. The closing of the Revised Transaction is subject to various customary closing conditions, including receipt of approval of the Revised Transaction by the applicable automotive manufacturers. The Revised Asset Purchase Agreement is not subject to any financing condition. In connection with the execution of the Revised Asset Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser will deliver a certain sum of money to a third-party escrow agent (the “Earnest Money”) to be applied as partial payment of the purchase price. The Revised Asset Purchase Agreement also contains certain termination rights of the purchaser and sellers. Depending upon the circumstance of any termination, the Earnest Money will either be returned to the purchaser or delivered to the sellers as a payment of liquidated damages.

OVERVIEW
We are one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States. As of June 30, 2020, we owned and operated 102 new vehicle franchises (83 dealership locations), representing 31 automobile brands and 24 collision centers in 16 metropolitan markets within nine states. Our stores offer an extensive range of automotive products and services, including new and used vehicles; parts and service, which includes repair and maintenance services, replacement parts, and collision repair services; and finance and insurance products. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our new vehicle revenue brand mix consisted of 44% imports, 33% luxury, and 23% domestic brands.
Our retail network is made up of dealerships operating primarily under the following locally-branded dealership groups:
 
Coggin dealerships operating primarily in Jacksonville, Fort Pierce and Orlando, Florida;
Courtesy dealerships operating in Tampa, Florida;
Crown dealerships operating in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia;
Greenville Automotive dealerships operating in Greenville, South Carolina;
Hare and Estes dealerships operating in the Indianapolis, Indiana area;
McDavid dealerships operating in metropolitan Austin and Dallas, Texas;
Nalley dealerships operating in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia;
Plaza dealerships operating in metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri; and
Mike Shaw dealerships in the Denver, Colorado area.

Our revenues are derived primarily from: (i) the sale of new vehicles; (ii) the sale of used vehicles to individual retail customers ("used retail") and to other dealers at auction ("wholesale") (the terms "used retail" and "wholesale" collectively referred to as "used"); (iii) repair and maintenance services, including collision repair, the sale of automotive replacement parts, and the reconditioning of used vehicles (collectively referred to as "parts and service"); and (iv) the arrangement of third-party vehicle financing and the sale of a number of vehicle protection products (defined below and collectively referred to as "F&I"). We evaluate the results of our new and used vehicle sales based on unit volumes and gross profit per vehicle sold, our parts and service operations based on aggregate gross profit, and our F&I business based on F&I gross profit per vehicle sold.
Our gross profit margin varies with our revenue mix. Sales of new vehicles generally result in a lower gross profit margin than used vehicle sales, sales of parts and service, and sales of F&I products. As a result, when used vehicle, parts and service, and F&I revenue increase as a percentage of total revenue, we expect our overall gross profit margin to increase.
Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of fixed and incentive-based compensation, advertising, rent, insurance, utilities, and other customary operating expenses. A significant portion of our cost structure is variable (such as sales commissions) or controllable (such as advertising), which we believe allows us to adapt to changes in the retail environment over the long-term. We evaluate commissions paid to salespeople as a percentage of retail vehicle gross profit, advertising expense on a per vehicle retailed ("PVR") basis, and all other SG&A expenses in the aggregate as a percentage of total gross profit.
Our continued organic growth is dependent upon the execution of our balanced automotive retailing and service business strategy, the continued strength of our brand mix, and the production and allocation of desirable vehicles from the automobile manufacturers whose brands we sell. Our vehicle sales have historically fluctuated with product availability as well as local and national economic conditions, including consumer confidence, availability of consumer credit, fuel prices, and employment levels. Our vehicle sales may also be impacted by manufacturer imposed stop-sales or open safety recalls.
In addition, our ability to sell certain new and used vehicles can be negatively impacted by a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control. As a result of market conditions caused by COVID-19, certain vehicle manufacturers and other suppliers have ceased or slowed production of new vehicles, parts and other supplies. We cannot predict with any certainty how long the automotive retail industry will be subject to these production slowdowns implemented by the manufacturers and other suppliers and when normalized production will resume at these manufacturers. Further, governmental actions, such as travel restrictions imposed in response to national emergencies or the imposition of tariffs or trade restrictions on imported goods may adversely affect vehicle sales and depress demand. Although we cannot adequately predict the impact of COVID-19, we continue to believe that the impact on our business of any future negative trends in new vehicle sales would be partially mitigated by (i) the expected relative stability of our parts and service operations over the long-term, (ii) the variable nature of significant components of our cost structure, and (iii) our diversified brand and geographic mix.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
While we saw a gradual rebound to our business in May and June, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business operations, store traffic, financial condition, liquidity and cash flow, as well as the operations, financial condition and liquidity of our suppliers, vendors and business partners and the global economic condition in general. Despite auto retailers having been deemed essential services in most of the markets in which we operate, we experienced significant declines in new and used vehicle unit sales towards the latter half of March which carried over into April. The seasonally adjusted annual rate ("SAAR") of new vehicle sales in the U.S. during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 11.3 million compared to 17.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. During this time period our parts and service business also operated well below capacity as consumer fears about becoming ill with COVID-19 and “shelter in place” or “stay at home” orders adversely affected traffic to our dealerships and resulted in motorists driving fewer miles. Consumer confidence deteriorated as the pandemic led to furloughs and increased unemployment across the country, impacting the number of consumers who qualify for credit. Despite this decline in consumer confidence, we experienced a gradual rebound in sales in May and June for both new and used vehicles with gross margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 improving over the same period in the prior year. Our parts and service business also showed signs of recovery towards the end of the second quarter.
In response to the downturn in our business, in early April management took various actions in an attempt to mitigate the financial impact of COVID-19. These actions included the furlough of approximately 2,300 employees, reduced store hours, and suspension of the Company's 401(k) match. In addition, the Company implemented temporary reductions in pay for all employees and the Company’s directors also agreed to waive portions of their annual cash retainers. We continued to evaluate these actions throughout the second quarter and made the difficult decision to permanently reduce the workforce by 1,300 employees to help align our expense structure with the current business environment. In July, we reinstated full pay for most employees impacted by the temporary reductions, and we will continue to monitor and respond as necessary to the Company’s operational needs during the ongoing outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic uncertainty.
While our business has experienced a gradual rebound in May and June, we are actively monitoring and managing our cash flows and have enacted cost saving measures to respond to the uncertain environment. The Company has significantly reduced its marketing expenses, deferred most capital expenditures, and negotiated discounts with certain vendors through the end of the second quarter of 2020. The flexibility of our cost structure has resulted in profitability throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, with May and June 2020 profitability exceeding that of the prior year period. Since the Company cannot predict the duration of and effects of the pandemic, we will continue to evaluate our options and manage the business as appropriate in order to preserve our financial flexibility during this challenging time.
During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a $23.0 million non-cash impairment charge related to our intangible manufacturer franchise rights. We may be required to record additional impairment charges if the COVID-19 global pandemic continues. We cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any additional impairment charge at this time, however, any such impairment charge could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and stockholders’ equity.
As a precautionary measure, on March 18, 2020, the Company borrowed $237 million under our Revolving Credit Facility and $110 million under the Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility. In June we repaid $35 million of the Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility. As of June 30, 2020, we had $17.0 million of remaining availability under the Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility and no remaining availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $613.2 million and an additional $116.7 million of funds in our floor plan offset accounts. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our debt service and working capital requirements; commitments and contingencies; debt repayment, maturity and repurchase obligations; acquisitions; capital expenditures; and any operating requirements for at least the next twelve months.
We had total available liquidity of $746.9 million as of June 30, 2020, which consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $613.2 million, $116.7 million of funds in our floor plan offset accounts and $17.0 million of availability under our used vehicle revolving floor plan facility. For further discussion of our liquidity, please refer to "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.
Our top priority continues to be the safety and protection of our customers, team members and their families. We have modified certain business practices to conform to government restrictions and are taking precautionary measures as directed by government and regulatory authorities. Following the CDC’s recommendation, we are providing face masks to employees and guests as required. We have also increased the frequency of dealership cleanings, implemented the use of plastic seat and steering wheel covers when performing service on guest vehicles, are thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing loaner vehicles after each use and have secured extra supplies of hand sanitizer, alcohol wipes, gloves and disinfectants for both employee and guest use at our dealerships. Many of our stores are also offering complimentary pick-up and delivery services to our customers, and we continue to offer online purchasing of new and used vehicles with delivery to the customer.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve. While we have seen a gradual rebound in May and June, the outbreak or future outbreaks in the markets in which we operate may cause changes in customer behaviors, including a potential

reduction in traffic at our dealerships or consumer spending for vehicles and servicing. This may lead to increased asset recovery and valuation risks, such as impairment of additional long-lived assets. The uncertainties in the global economy may negatively impact our suppliers and other business partners, which may interrupt our supply chain and require other changes to our operations. These and other factors may adversely impact our financial condition, liquidity and cash flow.
Park Place Acquisition
As previously announced, on December 11, 2019, the Company entered into (1) an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with certain members of the Park Place Dealership family of entities, Park Place Mid-Cities, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, and the identified principal (collectively, “Park Place”) and (2) a Real Estate Purchase Agreement (the “Real Estate Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the “Transaction Agreements”) with certain members of the Park Place Dealership family of entities to acquire substantially all of the assets of, and certain real property related to, the Park Place business. The Asset Purchase Agreement included the purchase of 19 franchises (3 Mercedes-Benz, 3 Sprinter, 2 Lexus, 2 Jaguar, 2 Land Rover, 1 Porsche, and 1 Volvo and 5 ultra luxury brands including 1 Bentley, 1 Rolls Royce, 1 McLaren, 1 Maserati and 1 Karma), two collision centers and an auto auction. On March 24, 2020, the Purchaser delivered notice to the sellers terminating the Transaction Agreements pursuant to the terms thereof in exchange for the payment of $10.0 million of liquidated damages. Please refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional details regarding the impact on financing transactions.
With positive signs of a recovery, on July 6, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Revised Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Park Place to acquire all of the assets of, and lease the real property related to, 12 new vehicle dealership franchises (3 Mercedes-Benz, 3 Sprinter, 2 Lexus, 1 Jaguar, 1 Land Rover, 1 Porsche, and 1 Volvo), two collision centers and an auto auction comprising the Park Place Dealership group (collectively, the “Revised Transaction”) for a purchase price of approximately $685.0 million of goodwill and approximately $50.0 million for parts, fixed assets, and leaseholds (excluding vehicle inventory), subject to certain adjustments described in the Revised Asset Purchase Agreement. The purchase price will be financed through a combination of cash, debt and seller financing.
The Revised Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by each of the parties and the Company and sellers have agreed to indemnify one another against certain damages, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. The closing of the Revised Transaction is subject to various customary closing conditions, including approval from the applicable automotive manufacturers. The Revised Asset Purchase Agreement is not subject to any financing condition and contains certain termination rights of the Company and sellers.

The 21% decrease in new vehicle revenue is the result of a 24% decrease in new vehicle units sold, partially offset by an increase in revenue per new vehicle sold. Same store new vehicle revenue decreased by $187.5 million (21%) due to a $72.0 million (23%) decrease in luxury brands revenue, a $73.1 million (19%) decrease in import brands, and a $42.4 million (21%) decrease in domestic brands revenue.
New vehicle gross profit increased by $0.3 million (1%) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and same store new vehicle gross profit decreased $0.2 million (1%) over the same period. Same store new vehicle gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased 100 basis points to 5.0%. The increase in our same store gross profit margin was primarily attributable to our efforts to focus on optimizing margin as new inventory levels declined as a result of manufacturers reducing or temporarily halting production due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We ended the quarter with approximately 52 days of supply of new vehicle inventory, below our target range of 70 - 75 days. Our new vehicle inventory levels have been negatively impacted by assembly line disruptions at our manufacturers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Company's wholesale gross profit and gross margin percentage also benefited from the recovery in the used vehicle market and the alignment of valuation reserves with lower inventory levels.

The $55.3 million (25%) decrease in parts and service revenue was due to a $36.4 million (24%) decrease in customer pay revenue, an $8.6 million (20%) decrease in warranty revenue, and a $10.3 million (32%) decrease in wholesale parts revenue. Same store parts and service revenue decreased by $50.7 million (24%) to $162.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $213.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in same store parts and service revenue was due to a $33.2 million (23%) decrease in customer pay revenue, a $9.0 million (22%) decrease in warranty revenue, and an $8.5 million (29%) decrease in wholesale parts revenue.
Parts and service gross profit, excluding reconditioning and preparation, decreased by $31.3 million (29%) to $76.6 million and same store parts and service gross profit, excluding reconditioning and preparation, decreased by $29.9 million (29%) to $73.3 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company provided wage guarantees to certain skilled technicians which negatively impacted the parts and service gross margin. In addition, our parts and service business was negatively impacted as a result of "shelter in place orders", individuals working from home and customer fears of being more susceptible to contracting COVID-19 in public locations. We continue to focus on increasing our customer pay parts and service revenue over the long-term by upgrading equipment, improving the customer experience, providing market leading benefits to our technicians and capitalizing on our dealership training programs.

Company experienced significant decreases in personnel costs as a result of employee furloughs and temporary reductions in pay as a result our efforts to manage expenses through the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company was able to negotiate temporary reductions with some of our strategic vendors and made a concerted effort to decrease advertising expense and significantly reduce travel related expenses. We anticipate our SG&A expense as a percentage of gross profit returning to historic levels in the mid-to-upper 60% range in future quarters.
Floor Plan Interest Expense —
Floor plan interest expense decreased by $6.4 million (61%) to $4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to lower average new vehicle inventory levels and a decrease in the 30 day LIBOR rate.
Other Interest Expense, net —
The $1.8 million (13%) decrease in other interest expense, net is primarily the result of the interest savings from refinancing our $600 million 6% Notes during the first quarter of 2020 with our $280 million 4.5% Notes and our $320 million 4.75% Notes.
Income Tax Expense —
The $1.9 million (10%) decrease in income tax expense was primarily the result of a $7.2 million (10%) decrease in income before income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 25.2% compared to 25.3% in the prior comparative period. For 2020, we expect our effective tax rate to approximate 25%.

Same store parts and service revenue decreased by $51.8 million (12%) from $417.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $365.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company provided wage guarantees to certain skilled technicians which has negatively impacted the parts and service gross margin.

SG&A expense as a percentage of gross profit decreased 90 basis points from 68.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to 67.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 while same store SG&A expense as a percentage of gross profit decreased 70 basis points to 67.5% over that same period. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of gross profit during the six months ended June 30, 2020, is primarily the result of broad cost cutting measures implemented during the latter half of the month of March that continued through the second quarter in response to the downturns in the business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Franchise Rights Impairment —
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a franchise rights impairment charge of $23.0 million. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed a quantitative impairment analysis of certain franchise rights assets and determined that their carrying values exceeded their fair value by $23.0 million as of March 31, 2020. There was no impairment recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Other Operating Expense, net —
Other operating expense, net includes gains and losses from the sale of property and equipment, and other operating items not considered core to our business. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded other operating expense, net of $8.9 million, which included an $11.6 million charge related to the termination of the initial Park Place planned acquisition partially offset by a $2.1 million gain related to legal settlements and a $0.3 million gain related to the sale of vacant real estate. Included in the $1.2 million of other operating expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was a $2.4 million pre-tax loss related to the write-off of fixed assets, partially offset by a $0.3 million gain related to the sale of vacant real estate and other non-core operating income.
Floor Plan Interest Expense —
Floor plan interest expense decreased by $9.6 million (46%) to $11.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $20.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily as a result of a decrease in LIBOR from which our floor plan interest rate is calculated and lower new vehicle inventory levels.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt, net —

On March 4, 2020, the Company redeemed its $600 million 6% Notes scheduled to mature in 2024 at 103% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of the 6% Notes of $19.1 million which comprised a redemption premium of $18.0 million and the write-off of the unamortized premium and debt issuance costs totaling $1.1 million.

As a result of the termination of the initial Acquisition, the Company delivered a notice of special mandatory redemption to holders of its 2028 Notes and 2030 Notes pursuant to which it would redeem on a pro rata basis (1) $245.0 million of the 2028 Notes and (2) $280.0 million of the 2030 Notes, in each case, at 100% of the respective principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the special mandatory redemption date. On March 30, 2020, the Company completed the redemption and recorded a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.5 million.
Gain on Dealership Divestitures, net —
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we sold one franchise (one dealership location) in the Atlanta, Georgia market, and we sold six franchises (five dealership locations) and one collision center in the Jackson, Mississippi market. The Company recorded a net pre-tax gain totaling $33.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold one franchise (one dealership location) and one collision center in the Houston, Texas market resulting in a pre-tax gain of $11.7 million.
Income Tax Expense —
The $10.1 million (32%) decrease in income tax expense was primarily the result of a $36.8 million (29%) decrease in income before income taxes and was further reduced by an excess tax benefit related to the vesting of share-based awards. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 23.6% compared to 24.7% in the prior comparative period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2020, we had total available liquidity of $746.9 million, which consisted of $613.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, $116.7 million of available funds in our floor plan offset accounts and $17.0 million of availability under our used vehicle revolving floor plan facility. The borrowing capacities under our revolving credit facility and our used vehicle revolving floor plan facility are limited by borrowing base calculations and, from time to time, may be further limited by our required

compliance with customary operating and other restrictive covenants. As of June 30, 2020, these covenants did not further limit our availability under our credit facilities. For more information on our covenants, see "Covenants" and "Share Repurchases and Dividend Restrictions" below.
We continually evaluate our liquidity and capital resources based upon (i) our cash and cash equivalents on hand, (ii) the funds that we expect to generate through future operations, (iii) current and expected borrowing availability under our 2019 Senior Credit Facility, our other floor plan facilities, our Real Estate Credit Agreement, our Restated Master Loan Agreement, and our mortgage financings (each, as defined below), (iv) amounts in our new vehicle floor plan notes payable offset accounts, and (v) the potential impact of our capital allocation strategy and any contemplated or pending future transactions, including, but not limited to, financings, acquisitions, dispositions, equity and/or debt repurchases, dividends, or other capital expenditures. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our debt service and working capital requirements; commitments and contingencies; debt repayment, maturity and repurchase obligations; acquisitions; capital expenditures; and any operating requirements for at least the next twelve months.
On March 24, 2020, the Company delivered notice to the sellers terminating the Asset Purchase Agreement and (2) Real Estate Purchase Agreement in exchange for the payment of $10.0 million of liquidated damages.

We currently are party to the following material credit facilities and agreements, and have the following material indebtedness outstanding. For a more detailed description of the material terms of these agreements and facilities, and this indebtedness, please refer to Note 13 "Long-Term Debt" and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
2019 Senior Credit Facility On September 25, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the third amended and restated credit agreement with Bank of America, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the "2019 Senior Credit Facility"). The 2019 Senior Credit Agreement provides for the following:
Revolving Credit Facility A $250.0 million Revolving Credit Facility for, among other things, acquisitions, working capital and capital expenditures, including a $50.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had borrowings of $237.0 million, resulting in outstanding borrowings of $237.0 million as of June 30, 2020. In addition, we had $12.7 million in outstanding letters of credit as of June 30, 2020, resulting in no additional borrowing availability as of June 30, 2020. In July 2020, we repaid $162.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility.
New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility A $1.04 billion New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility. In connection with the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility, we established an account with Bank of America that allows us to transfer cash as an offset to floor plan notes payable. These transfers reduce the amount of outstanding new vehicle
44

Table of Contents
floor plan notes payable that would otherwise accrue interest, while retaining the ability to transfer amounts from the offset account into our operating cash accounts within one to two days. As a result of the use of our floor plan offset account, we experienced a reduction in Floor Plan Interest Expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2020, we had $393.7 million, which is net of $109.8 million in our floor plan offset account, outstanding under the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility.
Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility A $160.0 million Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility to finance the acquisition of used vehicle inventory and for, among other things, working capital and capital expenditures, as well as to refinance used vehicles. We began the year with nothing drawn on our used vehicle floor plan facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had borrowings of $110.0 million and a $35.0 million repayment resulting in outstanding borrowings of $75.0 million on our Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility as of June 30, 2020. Our borrowing capacity under the Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility was limited to $17.0 million based on our borrowing base calculation as of June 30, 2020.
Subject to compliance with certain conditions, the 2019 Senior Credit Agreement provides that we have the ability, at our option and subject to the receipt of additional commitments from existing or new lenders, to increase the size of the facilities by up to $350.0 million in the aggregate without lender consent.
At our option, we have the ability to re-designate a portion of our availability under the Revolving Credit Facility to the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility or the Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility. The maximum amount we are allowed to re-designate is determined based on aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, less $50.0 million. In addition, we are able to re-designate any amounts moved to the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility or the Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility back to the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2019, $190.0 million of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was re-designated to the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility to take advantage of the lower commitment fee rates on the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility when compared to the Revolving Credit Facility. On March 17, 2020, we re-allocated the entire $190 million from the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility to the Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, based on LIBOR or the Base Rate, in each case plus an Applicable Rate. The Base Rate is the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the Bank of America prime rate, and (iii) one month LIBOR plus 1.00%. Applicable Rate means with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, a range from 1.00% to 2.00% for LIBOR loans and 0.15% to 1.00% for Base Rate loans, in each case based on the Company's consolidated total lease adjusted leverage ratio. Borrowings under the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility bear interest, at our option, based on LIBOR plus 1.10% or the Base Rate plus 0.10%. Borrowings under the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility bear interest, at our option, based on LIBOR plus 1.40% or the Base Rate plus 0.40%.
In addition to the payment of interest on borrowings outstanding under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on total unused commitments thereunder. The fee for unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility is between 0.15% and 0.40% per year, based on the Company's total lease adjusted leverage ratio, and the fee for unused commitments under the New Vehicle Facility Floor Plan and the Used Vehicle Facility Floor Plan Facility is 0.15% per year.
Manufacturer affiliated new vehicle floor plan and other financing facilities We have a floor plan facility with the Ford Motor Credit Company ("Ford Credit") to purchase new Ford and Lincoln vehicle inventory. Our floor plan facility with Ford Credit was amended in July 2020 to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2021. We have also established a floor plan offset account with Ford Credit, which operates in a similar manner to our floor plan offset account with Bank of America. As of June 30, 2020, we had $57.5 million, net of $6.9 million in our floor plan offset account, outstanding under our floor plan facility. Additionally, we had $71.1 million outstanding under facilities with certain manufacturers for the financing of loaner vehicles, which are presented within Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Neither our floor plan facility with Ford Credit nor our facilities for loaner vehicles have stated borrowing limitations.
The New Senior Notes—On February 19, 2020, the Company completed its offering of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $525.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes, the “Notes”). The 2028 Notes and 2030 Notes mature on March 1, 2028 and March 1, 2030, respectively. Interest is payable semiannually, on March 1 and September 1 of each year.

Cash Flows
Classification of Cash Flows Associated with Floor Plan Notes Payable
Borrowings and repayments of floor plan notes payable to a lender unaffiliated with the manufacturer from which we purchase a particular new vehicle ("Non-Trade"), and all floor plan notes payable relating to used vehicles (together referred to as "Floor Plan Notes Payable—Non-Trade"), are classified as financing activities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, with borrowings reflected separately from repayments. The net change in floor plan notes payable to a lender affiliated with the manufacturer from which we purchase a particular new vehicle (collectively referred to as "Floor Plan Notes Payable—Trade") is classified as an operating activity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Borrowings of floor plan notes payable associated with inventory acquired in connection with all acquisitions and repayments made in connection with all divestitures are classified as a financing activity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows related to floor plan notes payable included in operating activities differ from cash flows related to floor plan notes payable included in financing activities only to the extent that the former are payable to a lender affiliated with the manufacturer from which we purchased the related inventory, while the latter are payable to a lender not affiliated with the manufacturer from which we purchased the related inventory. The majority of our floor plan notes are payable to parties unaffiliated with the entities from which we purchase our new vehicle inventory, with the exception of floor plan notes payable relating to the financing of new Ford and Lincoln vehicles.
Floor plan borrowings are required by all vehicle manufacturers for the purchase of new vehicles, and all floor plan lenders require amounts borrowed for the purchase of a vehicle to be repaid within a short time period after the related vehicle is sold. As a result, we believe that it is important to understand the relationship between the cash flows of all of our floor plan notes payable and new vehicle inventory in order to understand our working capital and operating cash flow and to be able to compare our operating cash flow to that of our competitors (i.e., if our competitors have a different mix of trade and non-trade floor plan financing as compared to us). In addition, we include all floor plan borrowings and repayments in our internal operating cash flow forecasts. As a result, we use the non-GAAP measure "cash provided by operating activities, as adjusted" (defined below) to compare our results to forecasts. We believe that splitting the cash flows of floor plan notes payable between operating activities and financing activities, while all new vehicle inventory activity is included in operating activities, results in significantly different operating cash flow than if all the cash flows of floor plan notes payable were classified together in operating activities.
Cash provided by operating activities, as adjusted, includes borrowings and repayments of floor plan notes payable to lenders not affiliated with the manufacturer from which we purchase the related new vehicles. Cash provided by operating activities, as adjusted, has material limitations, and therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results in accordance with GAAP. In order to compensate for these potential limitations we also review the related GAAP measures.
We have provided below a reconciliation of cash flow from operating activities, as if all changes in floor plan notes payable, except for (i) borrowings associated with acquisitions and repayments associated with divestitures and (ii) borrowings and repayments associated with the purchase of used vehicle inventory, were classified as an operating activity.

Operating Activities—
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $554.6 million and $160.5 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities, as adjusted, totaled $255.4 million and $85.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The $170.0 million increase in our net cash provided by operating activities, as adjusted, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily the result of a $70.9 million increase related to the lower balances of accounts receivable and contracts-in-transit around the period end, a $28.6 million increase in other current assets, and a $85.9 million increase related to the change in inventory, net of floor plan borrowings. The increase in our net cash provided by operating activities, as adjusted, was offset by a decrease in non-cash adjustments to net income of $7.1 million and a decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities of $13.5 million.
Investing Activities—
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $36.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to cash used of $92.3 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Capital expenditures, excluding the purchase of real estate, were $18.2 million and $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We expect that capital expenditures for 2020 will total approximately $29.3 million to upgrade or replace our existing facilities, construct new facilities, expand our service capacity, and invest in technology and equipment.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we acquired the assets of three franchises (one dealership location) in the Denver, Colorado market for a purchase price of $63.6 million. We funded these acquisitions with an aggregate of $34.5 million of cash and $27.1 million of floor plan borrowings for the purchase of the related new vehicle inventory. In the aggregate, these acquisitions included purchase price holdbacks of $2.0 million for potential indemnity claims made by us with respect to the acquired franchises. In addition to the acquisition amounts above, we released $1.5 million of purchase price holdbacks related to a prior year acquisition.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we acquired the assets of eight franchises (four dealership locations) Indianapolis, Indiana market for a purchase price of $121.0 million. Consideration paid (or payable) to fund this acquisition included $70.8 million of cash, $47.7 million of floor plan borrowings for the purchase of the related new vehicle inventory, and purchase price holdbacks of $2.5 million for potential indemnity claims made by us with respect to the acquired franchises.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we sold one franchise (one dealership location) in the Atlanta, Georgia market and we sold six franchises (five dealership locations) and one collision center in the Jackson, Mississippi market for an aggregate purchase price of $115.5 million. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received cash proceeds of $4.2 million, from the sale of vacant properties. The assets and liabilities related to the aforementioned divestitures were included in Assets held for sale and Liabilities associated with assets held for sale as of December 31, 2019.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, purchases of real estate, including previously leased real estate, totaled $2.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
As part of our capital allocation strategy, we continually evaluate opportunities to purchase properties currently under lease and acquire properties in connection with future dealership relocations. No assurances can be provided that we will have or be able to access capital at times or on terms in amounts deemed necessary to execute this strategy.

Financing Activities—
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $66.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we had non-trade floor plan borrowings, excluding floor plan borrowings associated with acquisitions, of $1.63 billion and $2.04 billion, respectively, and non-trade floor plan repayments, excluding floor plan repayments associated with a divestiture, of $1.86 billion and $2.12 billion, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under our Repurchase Program but repurchased 56,467 shares of our common stock for $5.1 million from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity-based awards.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off balance sheet arrangements during any of the periods presented other than those disclosed in Note 12 "Commitments and Contingencies" within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to risk from changes in interest rates on a significant portion of our outstanding indebtedness. Based on $926.5 million of total variable interest rate debt, which includes our floor plan notes payable and certain mortgage liabilities, outstanding as of June 30, 2020, a 100 basis point change in interest rates could result in a change of as much as $9.3 million to our total annual interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
We periodically receive floor plan assistance from certain automobile manufacturers, which is accounted for as a reduction in our new vehicle inventory cost. Floor plan assistance reduced our cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 by $18.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively. We cannot provide assurance as to the future amount of floor plan assistance and these amounts may be negatively impacted due to future changes in interest rates.
As part of our strategy to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, we have various interest rate swap agreements. All of our interest rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment and do not contain any ineffectiveness.
In June 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal amount of $100.0 million. This swap was designed to provide a hedge against changes in variable rate cash flows regarding fluctuations in the one month LIBOR, through maturity in February 2025. The notional value of this swap was $77.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and is reducing over its remaining term to $53.1 million at maturity.
In November 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal amount of $75.0 million. This swap was designed to provide a hedge against changes in variable rate cash flows regarding fluctuations in the one month LIBOR, through maturity in September 2023. The notional values of this swap as of June 30, 2020 was $50.8 million and will reduce over its remaining term to $38.7 million at maturity.
For additional information about the effect of our derivative instruments, please refer to Note 10 "Financial Instruments and Fair Value" within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of such period such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Management necessarily applies its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives. Management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures can prevent all possible errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that objectives of the control system are met. There are inherent limitations in all control systems, including the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the intentional acts of one or more persons. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and while our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to be effective under circumstances where they should reasonably be expected to operate effectively, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to possible errors or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

        From time to time, we and our dealerships may become involved in various claims relating to, and arising out of our business and our operations. These claims may involve, but are not limited to, financial and other audits by vehicle manufacturers or lenders, and certain federal, state, and local government authorities, which relate primarily to (i) incentive and warranty payments received from vehicle manufacturers, or allegations of violations of manufacturer agreements or policies, (ii) compliance with lender rules and covenants and (iii) payments made to government authorities relating to federal, state, and local taxes, as well as compliance with other government regulations. Claims may also arise through litigation, government proceedings, and other dispute resolution processes. Such claims, including class actions, can relate to, but are not limited to, the practice of charging administrative fees, employment-related matters, truth-in-lending practices, contractual disputes, actions brought by governmental authorities, and other matters. We evaluate pending and threatened claims and establish loss contingency reserves based upon outcomes we currently believe to be probable and reasonably estimable.
We currently do not anticipate that any known claim will materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.  However, the outcome of any matter cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more matters presently known or arising in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors that affect our business and financial results that are discussed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10- K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and in Part II, Item 1A, of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to such risk factors.

The Revised Transaction, if consummated, will create numerous risks and uncertainties which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
After consummation of the Revised Transaction, we will have significantly more sales, assets and employees than we did prior to the transaction. The integration process will require us to expend significant capital and significantly expand the scope of our operations and financial systems. Our management will be required to devote a significant amount of time and attention to the process of integrating the operations of our business with that of the Park Place Dealership group. There is a significant degree of difficulty and management involvement inherent in that process.

These difficulties include:

Integrating the operations of the Park Place Dealership group during the pandemic while carrying on the ongoing operations of our business;

managing a significantly larger company than before consummation of the Revised Transaction;

the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying our expectations regarding the (i) integration process, including, among other things, unanticipated delays, costs or inefficiencies, and (ii) retention of key employees;

the effects of unanticipated liabilities;

operating a more diversified business;

integrating two separate business cultures, which may prove to be incompatible;

attracting and retaining the necessary personnel associated with the business of the Park Place Dealership group following the Revised Transaction;

creating uniform standards, controls, procedures, policies and information systems and controlling the costs associated with such matters; and

integrating information, purchasing, accounting, finance, sales, billing, payroll and regulatory compliance systems.

Table of Contents
As a private company, the Park Place Dealership group was not required to obtain an audit of its internal control over financial reporting or otherwise have such internal control assessed, except to the extent required in connection with audits pursuant to GAAP; however, following the consummation of the Revised Transaction, the financial systems of the Park Place Dealership group will be integrated into our financial systems and subject to the internal control audit required with respect to the Company as a public company.
If any of these factors limits our ability to integrate the Park Place Dealership group into our operations successfully or on a timely basis, the expectations of future results of operations, including certain run-rate synergies expected to result from the Revised Transaction, might not be met. As a result, we may not be able to realize the expected benefits that we seek to achieve from the Revised Transaction, which could also affect our ability to service our debt obligations. In addition, we may be required to spend additional time or money on integration that otherwise would be spent on the development and expansion of our business, including efforts to further expand our product portfolio.
We may be unable to realize the anticipated cost savings or operational improvements or may incur additional and/or unexpected costs in order to realize them.
There can be no assurance that we will be able or realize the anticipated cost savings or operational improvements from the proposed transaction in the anticipated amounts or within the anticipated timeframes or costs expectations or at all. We are implementing a series of cost savings initiatives at the combined Company that we expect to result in recurring, annual run-rate cost savings. We expect to incur one-time, non-recurring costs to achieve such synergies.
These or any other cost savings or operational improvements that we realize may differ materially from our estimates. We cannot provide assurances that these anticipated savings will be achieved or that our programs and improvements will be completed as anticipated or at all. In addition, any cost savings that we realize may be offset, in whole or in part, by reductions in revenues or through increases in other expenses.

Failure to realize the expected costs savings and operating synergies related to the Revised Transaction could result in increased costs and have an adverse effect on the combined Company's financial results and prospects.
If the Revised Transaction is consummated, our post-closing recourse for liabilities related to the Park Place Dealership group is limited.
As part of the Revised Transaction, we will assume certain liabilities of the Park Place Dealership group. There may be liabilities that we failed or were unable to discover in the course of performing due diligence investigations into the Park Place Dealership group. In addition, as the Park Place Dealership group is integrated, we may learn additional information about the Park Place Dealership group, such as unknown or contingent liabilities or other issues relating to the operations of the Park Place Dealership group. Any such liabilities or issues, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Under the Revised Asset Purchase Agreement, the sellers will be liable for certain breaches of representations, warranties and covenants but our recovery may be contingent upon the aggregate damages arising out of any such breaches exceeding specified dollar thresholds and is subject to other time-based and monetary-based limitations. Accordingly, we may not be able to enforce certain claims against the sellers with respect to liabilities of the Park Place Dealership group.

We do not currently control the Park Place Dealership group and will not control the Park Place Dealership group until completion of the Revised Transaction.
We do not currently control the Park Place Dealership group and will not control the Park Place Dealership group until completion of the Revised Transaction. The Revised Asset Purchase Agreement imposes certain limitations on how the Park Place Dealership group manages its business, but we cannot assure you that the Park Place Dealership group's business will be operated in the same way as it would be under our control.

The purchase price for the Revised Transaction could increase significantly from our estimates, which may adversely impact our liquidity.
The purchase price for the Revised Transaction will be based, in part, on the value of vehicle inventory at the dealerships comprising the Park Place Dealership group on the closing date of the Revised Transaction. The value of vehicle inventories at automobile dealerships fluctuates significantly due to changes in economic conditions, the availability of consumer financing and the seasonality of demand for vehicles, among other factors. If the value of the vehicle inventory at the dealerships comprising the Park Place Dealership group is greater than we currently estimate, we will be required to pay additional purchase price consideration, which may require use to draw on existing sources of liquidity, including our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. To the extent we are required to pay a higher purchase price for the Revised Transaction, we may have less liquidity to fund our other operations and growth strategies, which may adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On January 30, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized our Repurchase Program. On October 19, 2018, our Board of Directors reset the authorization under our Repurchase Program to $100.0 million in the aggregate, for the repurchase of shares of our common stock in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions. Any repurchases will be subject to applicable limitations in our debt or other financing agreements that may be in existence from time to time.  During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under the Repurchase Program but repurchased 2,552 shares of our common stock for $0.1 million from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity-based awards. As of June 30, 2020, we had remaining authorization to repurchase $66.3 million in shares of our common stock under the Repurchase Program.
