Carmel, IN, May 3, 2011 KAR Auction Services, Inc. (NYSE: KAR), today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. For the first quarter of 2011, the company reported revenue of $482.7 million as compared with first quarter 2010 revenue of $458.4 million, an increase of 5%. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 was $127.3 million as compared with first quarter 2010 Adjusted EBITDA of $120.1 million, an increase of 6%. Net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $39.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $8.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2010. As shown in the attached reconciliation table, adjusted net income per share for the first quarter of 2011 was $0.41 versus adjusted net income per share of $0.29 for the first quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, the company’s effective tax rate benefited from the reversal of $14.4 million in tax reserves. Excluding the impact of this item, the company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 would have been 37.9%.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein, are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as substitutes for cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items of income and expense and expected incremental revenue and cost savings as described in our senior secured credit agreement covenant calculations. Management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about one of the principal measures of performance used by our creditors. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The following tables reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income for the periods presented:

KAR Auction Services, Inc.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share

The revaluation of certain assets of the company, and resultant increase in depreciation and amortization expense which resulted from the 2007 merger, as well as stock-based compensation expense incurred in connection with service and exit options tied to the 2007 merger, have had a continuing effect on our reported results. Non-GAAP measures of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, in the opinion of the company, provide comparability to other companies that may have not incurred these types of non-cash expenses. In addition, in the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a charge representing the net premiums paid related to the repurchase of the 10% senior subordinated notes, the write-off of certain unamortized debt issuance costs related to the repurchase of the 10% senior subordinated notes and certain expenses associated with the corresponding tender offer.

The following table reconciles adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share to net income and net income per share for the periods presented:

(1) There was a loss on extinguishment of debt of $25.3 million ($15.7 million net of tax) incurred in the first quarter 2010.
(2) Increased depreciation and amortization expense was $15.7 million ($9.9 million net of tax) and $17.3 million ($10.8 million net of tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
(3) Stock-based compensation resulting from the 2007 merger was $7.7 million ($6.1 million net of tax) and $6.8 million ($5.2 million net of tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company provides historical and forward-looking non-GAAP measures called EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share. Management believes that these measures provide investors additional meaningful methods to evaluate certain aspects of the company’s results period over period and for the other reasons set forth previously.

Earnings guidance also does not contemplate future items such as business development activities, strategic developments (such as restructurings or dispositions of assets or investments), significant expenses related to litigation and changes in applicable laws and regulations (including significant accounting and tax matters). The timing and amounts of these items are highly variable, difficult to predict, and of a potential size that could have a substantial impact on the company’s reported results for any given period. Prospective quantification of these items is generally not practicable. Forward-looking non-GAAP guidance excludes stock-based compensation under certain equity grants related to the 2007 merger, increased depreciation and amortization expense that resulted from the 2007 revaluation of the company’s assets, as well as one-time charges, net of taxes.
