Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On May 1, 2013, KAR Auction Services, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  KAR Auction Services, Inc. will host an earnings conference call and webcast, Thursday, May 2, 2013 at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time.  The conference call may be accessed by calling
1-888-466-4414
and entering participant passcode
156725
and the live webcast may be accessed at the investor relations section of www.karauctionservices.com.  The call will be hosted by KAR Auction Services, Inc. Chief Executive Officer, Jim Hallett, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Eric Loughmiller.  The call will feature a review of operating highlights and financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The press release dated May 1, 2013 is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
On May 1, 2013, KAR Auction Services, Inc. also posted supplemental financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2013, at the investor relations section of www.karauctionservices.com under the financial postings page.  The supplemental financial information posted on May 1, 2013 is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Within the Company's first quarter 2013 press release, related attachments thereto and the supplemental financial information, the Company makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures.  The non-GAAP financial measures include the following: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share.  The Company has presented reconciling information along with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP") for each of the above non-GAAP financial measures in the press release and supplemental financial information.  In addition, the Company's reasons for presenting these non-GAAP financial measures are discussed below.
The Company believes that these measures represent important internal measures of performance.  Accordingly, where these non-GAAP measures are provided, it is done so that investors have the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist the investment community in properly assessing the underlying performance of the Company on a year-over-year and quarter-sequential basis.  Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The specific reasons, in addition to the reasons described above, why the Company's management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's results of operations are as follows:
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
— The Company's management believes that EBITDA is a useful supplement and meaningful indicator of earnings performance to be used by its investors, financial analysts and others to analyze the Company's financial performance and results of operations over time.  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 its creditors. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of the
2
Company and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets.  The most directly comparable financial performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is net income (loss).  A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is contained in the attachments to the press release.  In addition, a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, as well as each of the last four quarters and the twelve months ended March 31, 2013 is contained in the supplemental financial information.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share
— The Company's management believes that adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are useful supplements and meaningful indicators of earnings performance to be used by its investors, financial analysts and others to analyze the Company's financial performance and results of operations over time.  The revaluation of certain assets of the company, and resultant increase in depreciation and amortization expense which resulted from the 2007 merger, as well as stock-based compensation expense incurred in connection with service and exit options tied to the 2007 merger, have had a continuing effect on our reported results.  Non-GAAP measures of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, in the opinion of the company, provide comparability to other companies that may have not incurred these types of non-cash expenses.  In addition, in the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded contingent consideration related to certain prior year acquisitions.  In the first quarter of 2013, we incurred a net loss resulting from processing vehicles associated with Superstorm Sandy.  In addition, in the first quarter of 2013, we incurred a loss on the modification/extinguishment of debt.  A reconciliation of net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is contained in the attachments to the press release.
