BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI, November 2, 2012 – Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE:PAG), an  
international automotive retailer, announced today record third quarter adjusted income from  
continuing operations and related earnings per share. For the third quarter 2012, adjusted income
from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders increased 19.1% to $54.3 million and
related earnings per share increased 20.0% to $0.60 per share. This compares to adjusted income
from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $45.6 million, or $0.50 per share
in the same period last year.

Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, excludes after-tax costs of $13.0 million, or $0.14 per share, of debt redemption costs associated with the redemption of the Company’s $375 million of 7.75% senior subordinated notes due 2016. Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 excludes $11.0 million, or $0.12 per share, of net income tax benefits reflecting a positive adjustment from the resolution of certain tax items in the U.K. of $17.0 million, or $0.19 per share, partially offset by a reduction in deferred tax assets of $6.0 million, or $0.07 per share. Actual third quarter 2012 income from continuing operations was $41.3 million, or $0.46 per share, compared to income from continuing operations of $56.6 million, or $0.62 per share in the same period last year.

Total revenue increased 17.4% to $3.4 billion, including a same-store retail revenue increase of 11.7% in the third quarter. The revenue increase was driven by a 23.6% increase in total retail unit sales, including 16.6% on a same-store basis. Gross profit improved 10.9% to $511.0 million while operating income increased 11.4% to $87.5 million.

Chairman Roger Penske said, “The Company’s third quarter results continue to demonstrate the strength of the auto retail sales environment in both the U.S. and our international markets. We experienced strong new unit sales throughout the quarter, particularly through our volume foreign brands which increased 33.9%, including 30.7% on a same-store basis. Additionally, our retail used vehicle unit sales continue to be very strong, increasing 20.4%, including 13.3% on a same-store basis. I was particularly pleased to see service and parts gross margin improve by 80 basis points to 57.8% and a 1.9% improvement in same-store service and parts revenue.”

Penske continued, “While new and used unit sales were strong, we experienced pricing pressure in our markets, especially when compared to the third quarter last year, when a lack of inventory at our Toyota, Honda and Nissan dealerships drove higher gross profits per unit.”

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, total revenue increased 18.2% to $10.0 billion. Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders increased 27.1% to $153.8 million and adjusted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders increased 29.8% to $1.70 per share. This compares to adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $121.0 million, and related earnings per share of $1.31 per share in the same period last year. Actual income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $140.8 million, or $1.56 per share, compared to income from continuing operations of $132.0 million, or $1.43 in the same period last year.

Securities Repurchase Activity

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company completed the redemption of the remaining $25.5 million in outstanding 3.5% senior subordinated convertible notes. No shares of common stock were issued in the redemption. Additionally, the Company redeemed $375 million of 7.75% senior subordinated notes in connection with the issuance of $550 million of 5.75% senior subordinated notes.

The Company currently has remaining authorization from its Board of Directors to repurchase up to $98.3 million of its outstanding common stock or debt. Securities may be acquired from time to time either through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or other means.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules, such as adjusted income from continuing operations, adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”). The Company has reconciled these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the release. The Company believes that these widely accepted measures of operating profitability improve the transparency of the Company’s disclosures and provide a meaningful presentation of the Company’s results from its core business operations excluding the impact of items not related to the Company’s ongoing core business operations, and improve the period-to-period comparability of the Company’s results from its core business operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for GAAP financial results, and should only be considered in conjunction with the Company’s financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP.

Caution Concerning Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this press release may involve forward-looking statements, including forward-looking statements regarding Penske Automotive Group, Inc.’s future sales potential and outlook. Actual results may vary materially because of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: economic conditions generally, conditions in the credit markets and changes in interest rates, adverse conditions affecting a particular manufacturer, including the adverse impact to the vehicle and parts supply chain due to natural disasters or other disruptions that interrupt the supply of vehicles or parts to us; changes in consumer credit availability, the outcome of legal and administrative matters, and other factors over which management has limited control. These forward-looking statements should be evaluated together with additional information about Penske Automotive’s business, markets, conditions and other uncertainties, which could affect Penske Automotive’s future performance. These risks and uncertainties are addressed in Penske Automotive’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
