(NYSE: AN), America’s largest automotive retailer, today reported 2015 first quarter net income from continuing operations of $112 million, or $0.97 per share, compared to adjusted net income from continuing operations of $91 million, or $0.75 per share, for the same period in the prior year, a 29% improvement on a per-share basis.
