For the third quarter of 2018, the company reported revenue of $933.5 million as compared with revenue of $843.0 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of 11%. Net income for the third quarter of 2018 increased 23% to $77.5 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $62.8 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017.

Operating adjusted net income per diluted share increased 23% to $0.70 for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, as compared with operating adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.57 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. KAR incurred an operating loss of $14.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, which was attributable to the rollout of TradeRev.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the company reported revenue of $2,840.6 million as compared with revenue of $2,567.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 11%.

2018 Outlook
KAR Auction Services' previously stated outlook remains unchanged, but as result of the company's investment in launching TradeRev, KAR expects it will be in the lower end of the guidance range for 2018.
(in millions, except per share amounts) | Annual Guidance |
Net income | $329.0 - $349.7 |
Income tax expense | $115.6 - $122.9 |
Interest expense, net of interest income | $191 |
Depreciation and amortization | $268 |
EBITDA | $903.6 - $931.6 |
Addbacks, net | ($8.6) - ($6.6) |
Adjusted EBITDA | $895 - $925 |
Capital expenditures | $185 |
Cash taxes | $125 |
Cash interest on corporate debt | $130 |
Effective tax rate | 26% |
Net income per share | $2.40 - $2.55 |
Operating adjusted net income per share | $2.89 - $3.04 |
Weighted average diluted shares | 137 |
Earnings guidance does not contemplate future items such as business development activities, strategic developments (such as restructurings, spin-offs or dispositions of assets or investments), gains/losses associated with step acquisitions, 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 amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets, as well as one-time charges, net of taxes. See reconciliations of the company's guidance on pages 8 and 9.
Dividend Announcement
The company announced a cash dividend today of $0.35 per share on the company’s common stock. The dividend is payable on January 4, 2019, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 20, 2018.
Potential Spin-off of IAA
In February 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors had approved a plan to pursue the separation of its salvage auction business, currently operated by IAA, through a spin-off. The Company also announced that the separation was subject to customary regulatory approvals, the execution of intercompany agreements between the Company and the new salvage auction company, final approval of the board of directors and other customary matters.
The Company expects to complete the spin-off in 2019. It is currently expected that IAA Spinco will have total net debt of approximately 3.5 times Adjusted EBITDA. The actual amount of debt that will be issued by IAA Spinco will be determined at a future date when capital is raised for IAA Spinco. This is subject to approval by the Board of Directors at the time of the issuance of debt and completion of the spin-off. The Company may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed transaction is complete, abandon, modify or change the terms of the spin-off. The total net leverage levels for IAA Spinco and KAR are expected to maintain the current corporate debt rating of BB- currently held by KAR for both entities. The Company expects to provide additional information on the expected dividend policies and the target leverage levels of each enterprise as we get closer to completion of the spin-off. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the spin-off will occur. IAA filed its initial Registration Statement on Form 10 on June 28, 2018 and Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form 10 on August 30, 2018.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted net income and operating adjusted net income per share 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. 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 below.
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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance.
Depreciation expense for property and equipment and amortization expense of capitalized internally developed software costs relate to ongoing capital expenditures; however, amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets, such as customer relationships, software, tradenames and noncompete agreements are not representative of ongoing capital expenditures, but have a continuing effect on our reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures of operating adjusted net income and operating adjusted net income per share, in the opinion of the company, provide comparability of the company's performance to other companies that may not have incurred these types of non-cash expenses or that report a similar measure. In addition, operating adjusted net income and operating adjusted net income per share may include adjustments for certain other charges.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted net income and operating adjusted net income per share 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 table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income for the periods presented:
