FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE: AN), America's largest automotive retailer, today reported 2015 second quarter net income from continuing operations of $115 million, a record for second quarter results, or $1.00 per share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $101 million, or $0.83 per share, for the same period in the prior year, a 20% improvement on a per-share basis. 

Second quarter 2015 revenue totaled $5.2 billion, compared to $4.8 billion in the year-ago period, an increase of 9%, driven by stronger performance in all business sectors - new vehicles, used vehicles, parts and service, and finance and insurance. In the second quarter of 2015, AutoNation's retail new vehicle unit sales increased 6% overall and 4% on a same store basis, while retail used vehicle unit sales increased 9% overall and 7% on a same store basis.

Mike Jackson, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President said, "AutoNation delivered its 19th consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year growth in EPS. We reconfirm our expectation of U.S. industry new vehicle unit sales to be above 17 million units in 2015."

Mr. Jackson also said, "We are pleased with how the AutoNation brand has been embraced, as well as the continued rollout of AutoNation Express and the progress of all our digital initiatives. Over 20% of our sales were generated through AutoNation websites for the first half of the year. The first phase of AutoNation Express, where a consumer can identify a vehicle, reserve that vehicle and put a deposit on that vehicle, was completed six months ahead of schedule. AutoNation is committed to providing transparency and delivering a peerless customer experience through initiatives such as AutoNation Express."
