Guidance for 2011 Annual Performance
DealerTrack raises revenue and both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings guidance for the full year 2011 as follows:

Expected GAAP Results
§
Revenue for the year is expected to be between $344.0 million and $347.0 million, compared to the previous estimate of between $336.0 million and $340.0 million.
§
GAAP net income for the year is expected to be between $65.0 million and $67.0 million, compared to the previous estimate of between $24.5 and $27.0 million.
§
Diluted GAAP net income per share for the year is expected to be between $1.53 and $1.58, compared to the previous estimate of between $0.57 and $0.63.

The revised GAAP earnings guidance reflects an expected pre-tax gain of approximately $47.5 million ($28.8 million net of tax, or $0.68 per share) to be recognized in the fourth quarter related to the sale of DealerTrack’s wholly owned subsidiary, ALG, Inc.

Expected Non-GAAP Results
§
Adjusted EBITDA for the year is expected to be between $72.0 million and $75.0 million, compared to the previous estimate of between $66.0 million and $70.0 million.
§
Adjusted net income for the year is expected to be between $40.0 million and $42.0 million, compared to the previous estimate of between $34.5 million and $37.0 million.
§
Diluted adjusted net income per share for the year is expected to be between $0.94 and $0.99 compared to the previous estimate of between $0.81 and $0.86.

Diluted GAAP net income and adjusted net income per share guidance for the year are based on an assumed 42.4 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding, compared to a previous estimate of 42.8 million shares.  The guidance assumes that new car sales will be approximately 12.8 million units and used car sales will be approximately 13.8 million units for 2011.  The assumptions for car sales are unchanged from DealerTrack’s prior estimates. The revised guidance implies an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 21% for the full year, up from approximately 20%. 

Mark O’Neil, chairman and chief executive officer of DealerTrack, commented, “We are very pleased with our record revenue and non-GAAP earnings results for the third quarter as our transaction businesses continue to benefit from the improvement in auto credit availability, an increase in car sales year over year, the addition of new lenders to our network, and the performance of DealerTrack Processing Solutions.  Additionally, our subscription business benefitted from our recent eCarlist acquisition.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income disclosures are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of net income.  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, contra-revenue and may exclude certain items such as:  impairment charges, restructuring charges, acquisition-related compensation expense and professional service fees, realized gains or (losses) on securities and certain other non-recurring items.  Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of acquired identifiable intangibles, contra-revenue and may also exclude certain items such as: impairment charges, restructuring charges, acquisition-related compensation expense and professional service fees, realized gains or (losses) on securities, adjustments to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and certain other non-recurring items.  These adjustments to net income, which are shown before taxes, are adjusted for their tax impact.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are presented because management believes they provide additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities principally because the purchase accounting treatment of acquisitions can have a negative impact on our GAAP results because the depreciation and amortization expenses associated with acquired assets, as well as particular intangibles (which tend to have a relatively short useful life), can be substantial in the first several years following an acquisition. As a result, we monitor our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income and other business statistics as a measure of operating performance in addition to net income and the other measures included in our consolidated financial statements.  Management believes the adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income information is useful to investors for these reasons.  Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance.  Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income is GAAP net income (loss) and has provided a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted net income to GAAP net income (loss) in Attachment 4 to this press release.
