CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Basis of Presentation
These condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain unaudited information as of June 30, 2023, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements are not included herein. In management’s opinion, these unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information when read in conjunction with our 2022 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2022, is derived from our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented. We reclassified certain components within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, to present activity associated with Finance Receivables and Non-Recourse Notes Payable. We also reclassified components of our Consolidated Statements of Operations to present Finance Operations Income, and to change our presentation of segment reporting.

NOTE 4. FINANCE RECEIVABLES

Interest income on finance receivables is recognized based on the contractual terms of each loan and is accrued until repayment, reaching non-accrual status, charge-off, or repossession. Direct costs associated with loan originations are capitalized and expensed as an offset to interest income when recognized on the loans.

The balances of finance receivables are made up of loans and leases secured by the related vehicles. More than 99% of the portfolio is aged less than 60 days past due with less than 1% on non-accrual status.

Purchased Financial Assets with Credit Deterioration
As part of our acquisition of Priority Auto Group on June 12, 2023, we purchased certain auto loan receivables for which there was evidence of more than insignificant deterioration of credit quality since origination (purchased credit-deteriorated or “PCD” assets). The following is a reconciliation of the difference between the purchase price paid by us for the financial assets and the par value (outstanding principal balance) of the assets on the date we acquired the portfolio:

Purchase price of PCD loans at acquisition$8.0 
Initial allowance for credit losses of PCD loans at acquisition2.3

NOTE 6. NET INVESTMENT IN OPERATING LEASES

Net investment in operating leases consists primarily of lease contracts for vehicles with individuals and business entities. Assets subject to operating leases are depreciated using the straight-line method over the term of the lease to reduce the asset to its estimated residual value. Estimated residual values are based on assumptions for used vehicle prices at lease termination and the number of vehicles that are expected to be returned.

Net investment in operating leases was as follows:

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contract Liabilities
We are the obligor on our lifetime oil contracts. Revenue is allocated to these performance obligations and is recognized over time as services are provided to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is calculated, net of cancellations, using an input method, which most closely depicts performance of the contracts. Our contract liability balances were $301.7 million and $284.3 million as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively; and we recognized $14.2 million and $28.9 million of revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 related to our contract liability balance at December 31, 2022. Our contract liability balance is included in accrued liabilities and deferred revenue.

Leases
We lease certain dealerships, office space, land and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected not to bifurcate lease and non-lease components related to leases of real property.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 24 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Our finance lease liabilities are included in long-term debt, with the current portion included in current maturities of long-term debt. The related assets are included in property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated amortization.

We rent or sublease certain real estate to third parties.

Litigation
We are party to numerous legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. Although we do not anticipate that the resolution of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, we cannot predict this with certainty.

Credit Facilities
US Bank Syndicated Credit Facility
On February 9, 2023, we amended our existing syndicated credit facility (USB credit facility), comprised of 20 financial institutions, including eight manufacturer-affiliated finance companies, maturing April 29, 2026.

This USB credit facility provides for a total financing commitment of $4.5 billion, which may be further expanded, subject to lender approval and the satisfaction of other conditions, up to a total of $5.5 billion. The allocation of the financing commitment is for up to $800 million in used vehicle inventory floorplan financing, up to $1.70 billion in revolving financing for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and working capital, up to $1.95 billion in new vehicle inventory floorplan financing, and up to $50 million in service loaner vehicle floorplan financing. We have the option to reallocate the commitments under this USB credit facility, provided that the aggregate revolving loan commitment may not be more than 40% of the amount of the aggregate commitment, and the aggregate service loaner vehicle floorplan commitment may not be more than the 3% of the amount of the aggregate commitment. All borrowings from, and repayments to, our lending group are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as financing activities.

Our obligations under our USB credit facility are secured by a substantial amount of our assets, including our inventory (including new and used vehicles, parts and accessories), equipment, accounts receivable (and other rights to payment) and our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries. Under our USB credit facility, our obligations relating to new vehicle floor plan loans are secured only by collateral owned by borrowers of new vehicle floor plan loans under the USB credit facility.

The interest rate on the USB credit facility varies based on the type of debt, with the rate of one-day SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% plus a margin of 1.00% for new vehicle floor plan financing, 1.40% for used vehicle floor plan financing, 1.20% for service loaner floor plan financing, and a variable interest rate on the revolving financing ranging from 1.00% to 2.00% depending on our leverage ratio. The annual interest rates associated with our floor plan commitments are as follows:
CommitmentAnnual Interest Rate at June 30, 2023
New vehicle floor plan6.16%
Used vehicle floor plan6.56%
Service loaner floor plan6.26%
Revolving line of credit6.06%

As of June 30, 2023, we had $501.4 million available for repurchases pursuant to our share repurchase authorization from our Board of Directors in 2022 and prior years.

In addition, during 2023, we repurchased 70,560 shares at an average price of $204.82 per share, for a total of $14.5 million, related to tax withholding associated with the vesting of RSUs. The repurchase of shares related to tax withholding associated with stock awards does not reduce the number of shares available for repurchase as approved by our Board of Directors.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Factors used in determining the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad categories:

•Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
•Level 2 - other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk; and
•Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.

Lithia Logo-Footer.jpg
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
12

We determined the carrying value of accounts receivable, trade payables, accrued liabilities, finance receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values because of the nature of their terms and current market rates of these instruments. We believe the carrying value of our variable rate debt approximates fair value.

We have investments primarily consisting of our investment in Shift Technologies, Inc. (Shift), a San Francisco-based digital retail company. Shift has a readily determinable fair value following Shift going public in a reverse-merger deal with Insurance Acquisition, a special purpose acquisition company, in the fourth quarter of 2020. We calculated the fair value of this investment using quoted prices for the identical asset (Level 1) and recorded the fair value as part of other non-current assets. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a $1.2 million and $0.8 million unrealized investment gain related to Shift. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, we recognized an $18.1 million and $33.0 million unrealized investment loss related to Shift. These amounts were recorded as a component of Other income (expense), net.

We have fixed rate debt primarily consisting of amounts outstanding under our senior notes, non-recourse notes payable, and real estate mortgages. We calculated the estimated fair value of the senior notes using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 1). The fair value of non-recourse notes payable are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date. The calculated estimated fair values of the fixed rate real estate mortgages and finance lease liabilities use a discounted cash flow methodology with estimated current interest rates based on a similar risk profile and duration (Level 2). The fixed cash flows are discounted and summed to compute the fair value of the debt.

We have derivative instruments consisting of an offsetting set of interest rate caps. The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date and is recorded as other current assets, current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Nonfinancial assets such as goodwill, franchise value, or other long-lived assets are measured and recorded at fair value during a business combination or when there is an indicator of impairment. We evaluate our goodwill and franchise value using a qualitative assessment process. If the qualitative factors determine that it is more likely than not that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we would further evaluate for potential impairment using a quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment estimates fair values using unobservable (Level 3) inputs by discounting expected future cash flows of the store. The forecasted cash flows contain inherent uncertainties, including significant estimates and assumptions related to growth rates, margins, working capital requirements, and cost of capital, for which we utilize certain market participant-based assumptions we believe to be reasonable. We estimate the value of other long-lived assets that are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis on a market valuation approach. We use prices and other relevant information generated primarily by recent market transactions involving similar or comparable assets, as well as our historical experience in divestitures, acquisitions and real estate transactions. Additionally, we may use a cost valuation approach to value long-lived assets when a market valuation approach is unavailable. Under this approach, we determine the cost to replace the service capacity of an asset, adjusted for physical and economic obsolescence. When available, we use valuation inputs from independent valuation experts, such as real estate appraisers and brokers, to corroborate our estimates of fair value. Real estate appraisers’ and brokers’ valuations are typically developed using one or more valuation techniques including market, income and replacement cost approaches. Because these valuations contain unobservable inputs, we classified the measurement of fair value of long-lived assets as Level 3.

There were no changes to our valuation techniques during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

The purchase price allocations for the acquisitions from the third quarter of 2022 through the first quarter of 2023 are preliminary, and we have not obtained and evaluated all of the detailed information necessary to finalize the opening balance sheet amounts in all respects. We recorded the purchase price allocations based upon information that is currently available and recorded unallocated items as a component of other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We do not expect all of the goodwill related to acquisitions completed in 2023 to be deductible for federal income tax purposes.

In the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $4.5 million and $5.7 million in acquisition-related expenses as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. Comparatively, we recorded $1.5 million and $8.1 million, of acquisition-related expenses in the same periods of 2022.
 
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information as if all acquisitions in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 had occurred on January 1, 2022:

No nonrecurring proforma adjustments directly attributable to the acquisitions are included in the reported proforma revenues and earnings.

NOTE 12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

We calculate basic earnings per share (EPS) by dividing net income attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including vested RSU awards. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of unvested RSU awards and employee stock purchases.

By promoting an entrepreneurial model with our in-store experiences, we build strong businesses responsive to each of our local markets. Utilizing performance-based action plans, we develop high-performing teams and foster manufacturer relationships.

In response to evolving consumer preferences, we invest in modernization that supports and expands our core business. These digital strategies combine our experienced, knowledgeable workforce with our owned inventory and physical network of stores, enabling us to be agile and adapt to consumer preferences and market specific conditions. Additionally, we systematically explore transformative adjacencies, which are identified to be synergistic and complementary to our existing business such as DFC.

Our investments in modernization are well under way and are taking hold with our teams as they provide digital shopping experiences including finance, contactless test drives and home delivery or curbside pickup for vehicle purchases. Our people and these solutions power our national brands, overlaying our physical footprint in a way that we believe attracts a larger population of digital consumers seeking transparent, empowered, flexible and simple buying and servicing experiences.

Our performance-based culture is geared toward an incentive-based compensation structure for a majority of our personnel. We develop pay plans that are measured based upon various factors such as customer satisfaction, profitability and individual performance metrics. These plans serve to reward team members for creating customer loyalty, achieving store potential, developing high-performing talent, meeting and exceeding manufacturer requirements and living our core values.

We have centralized many administrative functions to drive efficiencies and streamline store-level operations. The reduction of administrative functions at our stores allows our local managers to focus on customer-facing opportunities to increase revenues and gross profit. Our operations are supported by regional and corporate management, as well as dedicated training and personnel development programs which allow us to share best practices across our network and develop management talent.

Growth through acquisition and network optimization
Our acquisition growth strategy has been successful both financially and culturally. Our disciplined approach focuses on acquiring new vehicle franchises, which operate in markets ranging from mid-sized regional markets to metropolitan markets. Acquisition of these businesses increases our proximity to consumers. While we target an annual after tax return of more than 15% for our acquisitions, we have averaged over a 25% return by the third year of ownership due to a disciplined approach focusing on accretive, cash flow positive targets at reasonable valuations. In addition to being financially accretive, acquisitions aim to drive network growth that improves our ability to serve customers through vast selection, greater density and access to customers and ability to leverage national branding and advertising.

As we focus on expanding our physical network of stores, one of the criteria we evaluate is a valuation multiple between 3x to 7x of investment in intangibles to estimated annualized adjusted EBITDA, with various factors

including location, ability to expand our network and talent considered in determining value. We also target an investment in intangibles as a percentage of annualized revenues in the range of 15% to 30%.

We regularly optimize and balance our network through strategic divestitures to ensure continued high performance. We believe our disciplined approach provides us with attractive acquisition opportunities and expanded coast-to-coast coverage.

Thoughtful capital allocation
We manage our liquidity and available cash to support our long-term plan focused on growth through acquisitions and investments in our existing business, technology and adjacencies that expand and diversify our business model. Our free cash flow deployment strategy targets an allocation of 65% investment in acquisitions, 25% investment in capital expenditures, innovation, and diversification and 10% in shareholder return in the form of dividends and share repurchases. During 2023, we utilized $97.1 million for capital expenditures investing in our existing business and paid $25.4 million in dividends. As of June 30, 2023, we had available liquidity of approximately $1.0 billion, which was comprised of $88.7 million in unrestricted cash and $933.3 million availability on our credit facilities. In addition, our unfinanced real estate could provide additional liquidity of approximately $0.5 billion.

Financial Performance
2627 29
We experienced growth of revenue in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily driven by increases in volume related to acquisitions, complemented by organic growth in new vehicle retail sales and service, body and parts sales. Gross profit on new and used vehicle retail sales declined compared to 2022 due to continued normalization of margins.

Same Store Operating Data
We believe that same store comparisons are an important indicator of our financial performance. Same store measures demonstrate our ability to grow revenues in our existing locations. As a result, same store measures have been integrated into the discussion below.
 
Same store measures reflect results for stores that were operating in each comparison period and only include the months when operations occurred in both periods. For example, a store acquired in May 2022 would be included in same store operating data beginning in June 2023, after its first full complete comparable month of operation. The second quarter operating results for the same store comparisons would include results for that store in only the month of June for both comparable periods.

New Vehicles
We believe that our new vehicle sales create incremental profit opportunities through certain manufacturer incentive programs, arranging of third-party financing, vehicle service and insurance contracts, future resale of used vehicles acquired through trade-in, and parts and service work. Our leaders in each market continue to adapt to changing conditions, respond to customer needs and manage inventory availability and selection.

Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
New vehicles revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 23.5 % compared to the same period of 2022, driven by acquisition activity and improvements in same store performance. Same store new vehicle revenue increased 7.0% primarily due to an increase in unit volume of 3.6% and an increase in average selling prices of 3.3%.

Same store new vehicle gross profit per unit decreased 21.3%, decreasing new vehicle gross profit margins 300 bps. Total same store new vehicle gross profit per unit, which includes the finance and insurance revenue generated from the sales of new vehicles, decreased $1,214 to $7,087.

YTD 2023 vs. YTD 2022
New vehicles revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 15.5% compared to the same period of 2022 primarily due to acquisition activity. Same store new vehicle revenue increased 2.1% due to an increase in average selling prices of 3.3%, partially offset by a decrease in unit volume of 1.2%.

Same store new vehicle gross profit per unit decreased 20.6%, decreasing new vehicle gross profit margins 300 bps. Total same store new vehicle gross profit per unit, which includes the finance and insurance revenue generated from the sales of new vehicles, decreased $1,151 to $7,280.

Used Vehicles
Used vehicle retail sales are a strategic focus for organic growth. We offer three categories of used vehicles: manufacturer certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles; core vehicles, or late-model vehicles with lower mileage; and value autos, or vehicles with over 80,000 miles. We continue to focus on procuring vehicles across the full spectrum of the addressable used vehicle market to provide customers with a wide selection meeting all levels of affordability, driving increased used vehicle unit volumes. Our used vehicle operations provide an opportunity to generate sales to customers unable or unwilling to purchase a new vehicle, sell brands other than the store’s new vehicle franchise(s) and increase sales from finance and insurance and parts and service.

We have established a company-wide target of achieving a per store average of 100 used retail units per month. Strategies to achieve this target include reducing wholesale sales and selling the full spectrum of used units, from late model CPO models to vehicles up to twenty years old. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2023, our stores sold an average of 86 used vehicles per store per month.

Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Used vehicle revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased 1.7% compared to the same period of 2022 due to decreases in average selling prices and unit volume, partially offset by acquisition activity. On a same store basis, used vehicle sales decreased 15.8% due to a decrease in unit volume of 11.6% and a decrease in average selling prices of 4.7%. Volume decreases were driven by decreasing volumes associated with core vehicles. Total same store used vehicle gross profit per unit, which includes the finance and insurance revenue generated from the sales of retail used vehicles, decreased $619 to $4,452.

YTD 2023 vs. YTD 2022
Used vehicle revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased 1.0% compared to the same period of 2022 due to decreases in average selling prices, partially offset by acquisition activity. On a same store basis, used vehicle sales decreased 12.5% due to a decrease in unit volume of 7.3% and a decrease in average selling prices of 5.7%. Volume decreases were driven by decreasing volumes associated with core vehicles. Total same store used vehicle gross profit per unit, which includes the finance and insurance revenue generated from the sales of retail used vehicles, decreased $891 to $4,240.

Finance and Insurance
We believe that arranging vehicle financing is an important part of our ability to sell vehicles, and we attempt to arrange financing for every vehicle we sell. We also offer related products such as extended warranties, insurance contracts and vehicle and theft protection which drive continued engagement with the consumer throughout the ownership lifecycle.

Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Total finance and insurance income increased 2.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, driven by acquisition activity. Same store finance and insurance revenues decreased 6.9%.
Lithia Logo-Footer.jpg
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Revenue decreases were driven by a decline in finance reserve revenues as we increase our penetration rates associated with Financing Operations and the growth of our captive auto loan and lease portfolio businesses. On a same store basis, our finance and insurance revenue per retail unit decreased $52 to $2,154.

YTD 2023 vs. YTD 2022
Total finance and insurance income increased 1.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, driven by acquisition activity. Same store finance and insurance revenues decreased 6.9%. Revenue decreases were highlighted by a decline in finance reserve revenues as we increase our penetration rates associated with Financing Operations and the growth of our captive auto loan and lease portfolio businesses, partially offset by revenue increases associated with service contracts. On a same store basis, our finance and insurance revenue per retail unit decreased $57 to $2,174.

Service, body and parts
We provide automotive repair and maintenance services for customers for the new vehicle brands sold by our stores, as well as service and repairs for most other makes and models. These after sales services are an integral part of our customer retention and the largest contributor to our overall profitability. Earnings from after sales continue to prove to be more resilient during economic downturns, when owners tend to repair their existing vehicles rather than buy new vehicles.

Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Our service, body, and parts revenue increased 17.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, driven by acquisitions, as well as an increase in customer pay revenues. We believe the increased number of units in operation will continue to benefit our service, body and parts revenue in the coming years as more late-model vehicles age, necessitating repairs and maintenance.

We focus on retaining customers by offering competitively-priced routine maintenance and through our marketing efforts. The largest contribution to our service, body and parts revenue was same store customer pay revenue of $400.1 million.

Same store service, body and parts gross profit increased 8.9%. This increase was primarily due to increased volumes of customer pay transactions. Overall same store service, body, and parts gross margins increased 150 bps, primarily as a result of our mix continuing to shift towards customer pay, which has higher margins than other service work. Same store customer pay gross margin increased 140 bps.

YTD 2023 vs. YTD 2022
Our service, body, and parts revenue increased 17.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, driven by acquisitions, as well as an increase in customer pay revenues. Same store customer pay revenues was the largest contribution to our service, body and parts revenue at $769.1 million.

Same store service, body and parts gross profit increased 9.8%. This increase was primarily due to increased volumes of customer pay transactions. Overall same store service, body, and parts gross margins increased 110 bps, primarily as a result of our mix continuing to shift towards customer pay, which has higher margins than other service work. Same store customer pay gross margin increased 110 bps.

Financing Operations

Financing Operations offers loans and leases to consumers across the full credit spectrum for both new and used vehicles through two entities, DFC and Pfaff Leasing. DFC is a captive lender, originating loans only from stores in the United States and Driveway. Pfaff Leasing originates loans and leases from both our Canadian stores and third-party dealerships. Our stores do not exclusively finance vehicles through DFC or Pfaff Leasing, rather originations are earned on a competitive basis with other lenders. We target growing penetration to 15% of retail units we sell by 2025.

Financing Operations income reflects the interest, fee, and lease income generated by DFC and Pfaff Leasing’s portfolio of auto loan and lease receivables less the interest expenses associated with the debt utilized to fund the lending, a provision for estimated loan and lease losses that include the effect of net charge-offs, depreciation on vehicles leased via operating leases and directly-related expenses.

Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Financing operations income (loss) decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 primarily due to interest expense increasing faster than increases in loan rates to borrowers, compressing total interest margin to 2.6% and the significant growth in originations driving higher provision expense.

On a same store basis and excluding non-core charges, SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was 61.6% compared to 58.4% for the same period of 2022. The increase was primarily related to the decrease in gross profit exceeding the decrease in same store SG&A costs.

Floor Plan Interest Expense and Floor Plan Assistance
Floor plan assistance is provided by manufacturers to support store financing of new vehicle inventory and is recorded as a component of new vehicle gross profit when the specific vehicle is sold. However, because manufacturers provide this assistance to offset inventory carrying costs, we believe a comparison of floor plan interest expense to floor plan assistance is a useful measure of the efficiency of our new vehicle sales relative to stocking levels.

Shown below are the details for carrying costs for new vehicles net of floor plan assistance earned:

Acquisition activity contributed to the increases in depreciation and amortization in 2023 compared to 2022. We acquired approximately $514 million of depreciable property as part of our acquisition activity over the twelve months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we invested $97.1 million in capital expenditures. These investments increased the amount of depreciation expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. See the discussion under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information.

Income Tax Provision
Our effective income tax rate was as follows:

 2023202220232022
Effective income tax rate26.0 %27.9 %26.4 %27.4 %
Effective income tax rate excluding other non-core items25.9 %26.9 %26.3 %26.5 %
 
Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to last year was positively affected by a decrease in the impact of valuation allowance recorded for certain deferred tax assets not expected to be realized and an increase in tax credits. The decrease in tax rate was offset by a reduction in tax benefit from stock awards vesting in the current period. Excluding the valuation allowance and other non-core charges, we estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be 26.7%.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under GAAP and may be defined differently by and not comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, we review any non-GAAP financial measures in connection with a review of the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution you not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We believe each of the non-GAAP financial measures below improves the transparency of our disclosures, provides a meaningful presentation of our results from the core business operations because they exclude items not related to our ongoing core business operations and other non-cash items, and improves the period-to-period comparability of our results from the core business operations. We use these measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to assess our business, including our compliance with covenants in our credit facility and in communications with our Board of Directors concerning financial performance. These measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.

The following tables reconcile certain reported non-GAAP measures, which we refer to as “adjusted,” to the most comparable GAAP measure from our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We manage our liquidity and capital resources in the context of our overall business strategy, continually forecasting and managing our cash, working capital balances and capital structure in a way that we believe will meet the short-term and long-term obligations of our business while maintaining liquidity and financial flexibility. Our capital deployment strategy for our free cash flows targets an allocation of 65% investment in acquisitions, 25% internal investments including capital expenditures, Driveway and Driveway Finance Corporation and 10% in shareholder return in the form of dividends and share repurchases.

We believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our business requirements for the next 12 months and in the longer term. Cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities are our main sources for liquidity. In addition to the above sources of liquidity, potential sources to fund our business strategy include financing of real estate and proceeds from debt or equity offerings. We evaluate all of these options and may select one or more of them depending on overall capital needs and the availability and cost of capital, although no

Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $35.6 million compared to the same period of 2022, primarily related to decreased net income and increased growth in our financing receivables as we increase our auto loan portfolio, partially offset by less of an increase in inventory and an increase in collection on trade receivables compared to the same period of 2022.
 
Borrowings from and repayments to our syndicated credit facilities related to our new vehicle inventory floor plan financing are presented as financing activities. To better understand the impact of changes in inventory, other assets, and the associated financing, we also consider our adjusted net cash provided by operating activities to include borrowings or repayments associated with our new vehicle floor plan commitment and exclude the impact of our financing receivables activity.

Capital Expenditures
Below is a summary of our capital expenditure activities ($ in millions):
316
Many manufacturers provide assistance in the form of additional incentives or assistance if facilities meet specified standards and requirements. We expect that certain facility upgrades and remodels will generate additional manufacturer incentive payments. Also, tax laws allowing accelerated deductions for capital expenditures reduce the overall investment needed and encourage accelerated project timelines.
We expect to use a portion of our future capital expenditures to upgrade facilities that we recently acquired. This additional capital investment is contemplated in our initial evaluation of the investment return metrics applied to each acquisition and is usually associated with manufacturer standards and requirements.

The decrease in capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022 related primarily to lower maintenance spend and lower new operations facility purchases and improvement spend.

If we undertake a significant capital commitment in the future, we expect to pay for the commitment out of existing cash balances, construction financing and borrowings on our credit facility. Upon completion of the projects, we believe we would have the ability to secure long-term financing and general borrowings from third party lenders for 70% to 90% of the amounts expended, although no assurances can be provided that these financings will be available to us in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us.

Acquisitions
We focus on acquiring stores at attractive purchase prices that meet our return thresholds and strategic objectives. We look for acquisitions that diversify our brand and geographic mix as we continue to evaluate our portfolio to minimize exposure to any one manufacturer and achieve financial returns.
 
We are able to subsequently floor new vehicle inventory acquired as part of an acquisition; however, the cash generated by this transaction is recorded as borrowings on floor plan notes payable, non-trade.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 14 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements for discussion.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
There have been no material changes in the critical accounting policies and use of estimates described in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2023.

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations
Historically, our sales have been lower in the first quarter of each year due to consumer purchasing patterns and inclement weather in certain of our markets. As a result, financial performance is expected to be lower during the first quarter than during the second, third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year. We believe that interest rates, levels of consumer debt, consumer confidence and manufacturer sales incentives, as well as general economic conditions, also contribute to fluctuations in sales and operating results.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
There have been no material changes in our reported market risks or risk management policies since the filing of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are party to numerous legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. Although we do not anticipate that the resolution of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, we cannot predict this with certainty.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The information in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023. We have described in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A, the primary risks related to our business and securities. We provide below the material changes to our risk factors described in that report.

Risks associated with our U.K. operations may negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Following completion of our acquisition of Jardine Motors Group in the United Kingdom in March 2023, we own and operate dealerships in the U.K. in addition to operations in the United States and Canada. These dealerships are the first operations we have managed outside of North America. While our operations outside of the United States currently represent a smaller portion of our revenue, we anticipate that our international operations will continue to expand. We face regulatory, operational, political and economic risks and uncertainties with respect to our international operations as outlined under “Risks associated with our international operations may negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023, under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A.

We are also subject to certain additional risks specific to our U.K. operations. For example, our operations in the U.K. are subject to numerous laws and regulations that may differ from those applicable to our operations in the United States and Canada, including relating to data privacy, health and safety, and environmental protection. Future laws and regulations or changes in existing laws and regulations, or interpretations thereof, in the U.K. could further impact our operations. For example, the U.K. government has proposed a ban on the sale of gasoline engines in new cars and new vans that would take effect as early as 2030 and a ban on the sale of gasoline hybrid engines in new cars and new vans as early as 2035. Such laws and proposed regulations would pose increasingly complex and costly compliance challenges or could also adversely affect demand for certain vehicles or the products we currently sell.

Further, changes by manufacturers to their distribution models may impact our operations in the U.K. Certain manufacturers are moving to an agency model in other countries, whereby the consumer places an order directly with the manufacturer and names a preferred delivery dealer. The agency model is being used by Mercedes-Benz in the U.K. and other European regions. Under an agency model, our dealerships receive a fee for facilitating the sale by the manufacturer of a new vehicle but do not hold the vehicle in inventory. The agency model will reduce reported revenues (as only the fee we receive, and not the price of the vehicle, will be reported as revenue), reduce SG&A expenses, and reduce floor plan interest expense, although the other impacts to our results of operations remain uncertain. If the agency model or another new model is implemented in the U.K. or other countries or regions in which we operate for the sale of electric or other vehicles, it could negatively affect our revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

The majority of our dealerships in the U.K. operate under franchise agreements with vehicle manufacturers, however, unlike in the United States, the U.K. generally does not have automotive dealership franchise laws and, as a result, our U.K. dealerships operate without these types of specific protections that exist in the United States. In addition, our U.K. dealerships are also subject to U.K. antitrust regulations prohibiting certain restrictions on the sale of new vehicles and spare parts and on the provision of repairs and maintenance. For instance, authorized dealers are generally able to, subject to manufacturer facility requirements, relocate or add additional facilities throughout the European Union, offer multiple brands in the same facility, allow the operation of service facilities independent of new car sales facilities and ease restrictions on cross supplies (including on transfers of dealerships) between existing authorized dealers within the European Union. However, under the EU Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Regulation, which was retained in U.K. law following U.K.’s exit from the European Union on January 31, 2020, certain restrictions on dealerships are permissible in franchise agreements provided certain conditions are met. In October 2022, the Competition and Markets Authority of the U.K. published recommendations to introduce an updated U.K. equivalent broadly similar to the EU Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Regulations, however, changes to these protections or rules could negatively affect our revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

FINANCE RECEIVABLES FINANCE RECEIVABLES
Interest income on finance receivables is recognized based on the contractual terms of each loan and is accrued until repayment, reaching non-accrual status, charge-off, or repossession. Direct costs associated with loan originations are capitalized and expensed as an offset to interest income when recognized on the loans.

The balances of finance receivables are made up of loans and leases secured by the related vehicles. More than 99% of the portfolio is aged less than 60 days past due with less than 1% on non-accrual status.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]  
NET INVESTMENT IN OPERATING LEASES NET INVESTMENT IN OPERATING LEASES
Net investment in operating leases consists primarily of lease contracts for vehicles with individuals and business entities. Assets subject to operating leases are depreciated using the straight-line method over the term of the lease to reduce the asset to its estimated residual value. Estimated residual values are based on assumptions for used vehicle prices at lease termination and the number of vehicles that are expected to be returned.

Net investment in operating leases was as follows:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contract Liabilities
We are the obligor on our lifetime oil contracts. Revenue is allocated to these performance obligations and is recognized over time as services are provided to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is calculated, net of cancellations, using an input method, which most closely depicts performance of the contracts. Our contract liability balances were $301.7 million and $284.3 million as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively; and we recognized $14.2 million and $28.9 million of revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 related to our contract liability balance at December 31, 2022. Our contract liability balance is included in accrued liabilities and deferred revenue.

Leases
We lease certain dealerships, office space, land and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected not to bifurcate lease and non-lease components related to leases of real property.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 24 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Our finance lease liabilities are included in long-term debt, with the current portion included in current maturities of long-term debt. The related assets are included in property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated amortization.

We rent or sublease certain real estate to third parties.

Litigation
We are party to numerous legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. Although we do not anticipate that the resolution of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, we cannot predict this with certainty.

Credit Facilities
US Bank Syndicated Credit Facility
On February 9, 2023, we amended our existing syndicated credit facility (USB credit facility), comprised of 20 financial institutions, including eight manufacturer-affiliated finance companies, maturing April 29, 2026.

This USB credit facility provides for a total financing commitment of $4.5 billion, which may be further expanded, subject to lender approval and the satisfaction of other conditions, up to a total of $5.5 billion. The allocation of the financing commitment is for up to $800 million in used vehicle inventory floorplan financing, up to $1.70 billion in revolving financing for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and working capital, up to $1.95 billion in new vehicle inventory floorplan financing, and up to $50 million in service loaner vehicle floorplan financing. We have the option to reallocate the commitments under this USB credit facility, provided that the aggregate revolving loan commitment may not be more than 40% of the amount of the aggregate commitment, and the aggregate service loaner vehicle floorplan commitment may not be more than the 3% of the amount of the aggregate commitment. All borrowings from, and repayments to, our lending group are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as financing activities.

Our obligations under our USB credit facility are secured by a substantial amount of our assets, including our inventory (including new and used vehicles, parts and accessories), equipment, accounts receivable (and other rights to payment) and our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries. Under our USB credit facility, our obligations relating to new vehicle floor plan loans are secured only by collateral owned by borrowers of new vehicle floor plan loans under the USB credit facility.

The interest rate on the USB credit facility varies based on the type of debt, with the rate of one-day SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% plus a margin of 1.00% for new vehicle floor plan financing, 1.40% for used vehicle floor plan financing, 1.20% for service loaner floor plan financing, and a variable interest rate on the revolving financing ranging from 1.00% to 2.00% depending on our leverage ratio. The annual interest rates associated with our floor plan commitments are as follows:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Factors used in determining the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad categories:

•Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
•Level 2 - other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk; and
•Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.
We determined the carrying value of accounts receivable, trade payables, accrued liabilities, finance receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values because of the nature of their terms and current market rates of these instruments. We believe the carrying value of our variable rate debt approximates fair value.

We have investments primarily consisting of our investment in Shift Technologies, Inc. (Shift), a San Francisco-based digital retail company. Shift has a readily determinable fair value following Shift going public in a reverse-merger deal with Insurance Acquisition, a special purpose acquisition company, in the fourth quarter of 2020. We calculated the fair value of this investment using quoted prices for the identical asset (Level 1) and recorded the fair value as part of other non-current assets. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a $1.2 million and $0.8 million unrealized investment gain related to Shift. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, we recognized an $18.1 million and $33.0 million unrealized investment loss related to Shift. These amounts were recorded as a component of Other income (expense), net.

We have fixed rate debt primarily consisting of amounts outstanding under our senior notes, non-recourse notes payable, and real estate mortgages. We calculated the estimated fair value of the senior notes using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 1). The fair value of non-recourse notes payable are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date. The calculated estimated fair values of the fixed rate real estate mortgages and finance lease liabilities use a discounted cash flow methodology with estimated current interest rates based on a similar risk profile and duration (Level 2). The fixed cash flows are discounted and summed to compute the fair value of the debt.

We have derivative instruments consisting of an offsetting set of interest rate caps. The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date and is recorded as other current assets, current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Nonfinancial assets such as goodwill, franchise value, or other long-lived assets are measured and recorded at fair value during a business combination or when there is an indicator of impairment. We evaluate our goodwill and franchise value using a qualitative assessment process. If the qualitative factors determine that it is more likely than not that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we would further evaluate for potential impairment using a quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment estimates fair values using unobservable (Level 3) inputs by discounting expected future cash flows of the store. The forecasted cash flows contain inherent uncertainties, including significant estimates and assumptions related to growth rates, margins, working capital requirements, and cost of capital, for which we utilize certain market participant-based assumptions we believe to be reasonable. We estimate the value of other long-lived assets that are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis on a market valuation approach. We use prices and other relevant information generated primarily by recent market transactions involving similar or comparable assets, as well as our historical experience in divestitures, acquisitions and real estate transactions. Additionally, we may use a cost valuation approach to value long-lived assets when a market valuation approach is unavailable. Under this approach, we determine the cost to replace the service capacity of an asset, adjusted for physical and economic obsolescence. When available, we use valuation inputs from independent valuation experts, such as real estate appraisers and brokers, to corroborate our estimates of fair value. Real estate appraisers’ and brokers’ valuations are typically developed using one or more valuation techniques including market, income and replacement cost approaches. Because these valuations contain unobservable inputs, we classified the measurement of fair value of long-lived assets as Level 3.

There were no changes to our valuation techniques during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

•In June 2022, Esserman International Volkswagen & Acura in Florida.
•In June 2022, Henderson Hyundai Superstore in Nevada.
•In June 2022, Lehman Auto Group in Florida.

All acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations of the acquired stores are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition.
 
The following tables summarize the consideration paid for the 2023 acquisitions and the preliminary purchase price allocations for identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

The purchase price allocations for the acquisitions from the third quarter of 2022 through the first quarter of 2023 are preliminary, and we have not obtained and evaluated all of the detailed information necessary to finalize the opening balance sheet amounts in all respects. We recorded the purchase price allocations based upon information that is currently available and recorded unallocated items as a component of other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We do not expect all of the goodwill related to acquisitions completed in 2023 to be deductible for federal income tax purposes.

In the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $4.5 million and $5.7 million in acquisition-related expenses as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. Comparatively, we recorded $1.5 million and $8.1 million, of acquisition-related expenses in the same periods of 2022.
 
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information as if all acquisitions in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 had occurred on January 1, 2022:

These amounts have been calculated by applying our accounting policies and estimates. The results of the acquired stores have been adjusted to reflect the following: depreciation on a straight-line basis over the expected lives for property and equipment, accounting for inventory on a specific identification method, and recognition of interest expense for real estate financing related to stores where we purchased the facility. No nonrecurring proforma adjustments directly attributable to the acquisitions are included in the reported proforma revenues and earnings.

Basis of Presentation
These condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain unaudited information as of June 30, 2023, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements are not included herein. In management’s opinion, these unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information when read in conjunction with our 2022 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2022, is derived from our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented. We reclassified certain components within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, to present activity associated with Finance Receivables and Non-Recourse Notes Payable. We also reclassified components of our Consolidated Statements of Operations to present Finance Operations Income, and to change our presentation of segment reporting.
Commitments and Contingencies
Contract Liabilities
We are the obligor on our lifetime oil contracts. Revenue is allocated to these performance obligations and is recognized over time as services are provided to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is calculated, net of cancellations, using an input method, which most closely depicts performance of the contracts. Our contract liability balances were $301.7 million and $284.3 million as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively; and we recognized $14.2 million and $28.9 million of revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 related to our contract liability balance at December 31, 2022. Our contract liability balance is included in accrued liabilities and deferred revenue.

Leases
We lease certain dealerships, office space, land and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected not to bifurcate lease and non-lease components related to leases of real property.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 24 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Our finance lease liabilities are included in long-term debt, with the current portion included in current maturities of long-term debt. The related assets are included in property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated amortization.

We rent or sublease certain real estate to third parties.
Fair Value Measurements
Factors used in determining the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad categories:

•Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
•Level 2 - other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk; and
•Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.
We determined the carrying value of accounts receivable, trade payables, accrued liabilities, finance receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values because of the nature of their terms and current market rates of these instruments. We believe the carrying value of our variable rate debt approximates fair value.

We have investments primarily consisting of our investment in Shift Technologies, Inc. (Shift), a San Francisco-based digital retail company. Shift has a readily determinable fair value following Shift going public in a reverse-merger deal with Insurance Acquisition, a special purpose acquisition company, in the fourth quarter of 2020. We calculated the fair value of this investment using quoted prices for the identical asset (Level 1) and recorded the fair value as part of other non-current assets. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a $1.2 million and $0.8 million unrealized investment gain related to Shift. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, we recognized an $18.1 million and $33.0 million unrealized investment loss related to Shift. These amounts were recorded as a component of Other income (expense), net.

We have fixed rate debt primarily consisting of amounts outstanding under our senior notes, non-recourse notes payable, and real estate mortgages. We calculated the estimated fair value of the senior notes using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 1). The fair value of non-recourse notes payable are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date. The calculated estimated fair values of the fixed rate real estate mortgages and finance lease liabilities use a discounted cash flow methodology with estimated current interest rates based on a similar risk profile and duration (Level 2). The fixed cash flows are discounted and summed to compute the fair value of the debt.

We have derivative instruments consisting of an offsetting set of interest rate caps. The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date and is recorded as other current assets, current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Nonfinancial assets such as goodwill, franchise value, or other long-lived assets are measured and recorded at fair value during a business combination or when there is an indicator of impairment. We evaluate our goodwill and franchise value using a qualitative assessment process. If the qualitative factors determine that it is more likely than not that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we would further evaluate for potential impairment using a quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment estimates fair values using unobservable (Level 3) inputs by discounting expected future cash flows of the store. The forecasted cash flows contain inherent uncertainties, including significant estimates and assumptions related to growth rates, margins, working capital requirements, and cost of capital, for which we utilize certain market participant-based assumptions we believe to be reasonable.

We use prices and other relevant information generated primarily by recent market transactions involving similar or comparable assets, as well as our historical experience in divestitures, acquisitions and real estate transactions. Additionally, we may use a cost valuation approach to value long-lived assets when a market valuation approach is unavailable. Under this approach, we determine the cost to replace the service capacity of an asset, adjusted for physical and economic obsolescence. When available, we use valuation inputs from independent valuation experts, such as real estate appraisers and brokers, to corroborate our estimates of fair value. Real estate appraisers’ and brokers’ valuations are typically developed using one or more valuation techniques including market, income and replacement cost approaches. Because these valuations contain unobservable inputs, we classified the measurement of fair value of long-lived assets as Level 3.
