1 ANNUAL FINANCIAL PROFILE OF AMERICA S FRANCHISED NEW-CAR DEALERSHIPS

2 Overview NADA Data 2014 the annual financial profile of America s franchised new-car dealerships shows a robust and highly competitive industry that is helping boost the U.S. economy. Last year, for example, dealerships employed more than 1 million people in their communities. Dealerships sold or leased more than 15.5 million new cars and light trucks in 2013, up 7.5 percent from the year before, along with 351,737 new medium- and heavy-duty trucks, up 1.7 percent. Yet dealership profitability remained flat. Going forward, fierce price competition whether from online research by consumers, the vast network of competing dealers or the many new compelling vehicles rolling into showrooms will continue to dominate an industry with slim retail margins. While dealers will stay focused on improving customer service and controlling operating costs, expect net profitability before tax at dealerships to remain unchanged at 2.2 percent in At the same time, consumer financing will remain an integral part of the auto-retail experience for car buyers. Most shoppers continue to finance vehicles through new-car dealerships because of the competitive finance rates offered. And service work, whether for warranty repairs or a quick oil change, is still an integral part of dealership customer service and operations. The demand for used Steven Szakaly Chief Economist, NADA vehicles is also very strong. In 2013, used-vehicle prices were better than expected, and as has happened every year since the recession there was a clear shortage of latemodel used vehicles. All in all, 2013 was a year of growth leading to a year of opportunity in With a stronger housing market, improved job prospects and continued low interest rates to bolster auto sales further, NADA forecasts new-car and light-truck sales to reach 16.4 million in Contents Average Dealership Profile... 3 NADA Optimism Index... 4 New-Vehicle Dealerships... 5 Total Dealership Sales Dollars... 6 Dealership Financial Trends... 7 The New-Vehicle Department... 8 The Used-Vehicle Department Service, Parts and Body Shop Employment and Payroll Vehicles in Operation and Scrappage Advertising and the Dealership New-Truck Dealerships F&I, Service Contracts
