Explanatory Note
On February 8, 2018, Group 1 Automotive, Inc., a Delaware corporation, issued an earnings release announcing its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017. A copy of the earnings release was furnished with a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 8, 2018. This amendment to Group 1 Automotive, Inc.’s Form 8-K is being filed solely for the purpose of correcting a mathematical error in the earnings release, as described below.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 8, 2018, Group 1 Automotive, Inc., a Delaware corporation, issued an earnings release announcing its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017. Within the "Reconciliation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Consolidated," percentages of increase and decrease for certain key financial metrics were provided. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 financial metrics, two such percentages were misstated due to a mathematical error: the increase in Adjusted Net Income and the increase in Adjusted Diluted Income per Share. These percentage increases were incorrectly reported as 23.4% and 25.9%, respectively. The correct percentage increases are 18.8% and 21.3%, respectively. Such information, as corrected, is included in Exhibit 99.1 hereto, which indicates the corrected percentages in shading. The mathematical error did not impact any of the other reported GAAP or non-GAAP financial results, metrics or percentages.
As provided in General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 2.02 (including the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference in this Item 2.02) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
