DRIVETIME AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1)   Description of Business, Ownership Formation, Basis of Presentation, and Principles of Consolidation

Description of Business

DriveTime Automotive Group, Inc. (“DTAG”) (referred to herein as “we,” “our,” “the Company,” and “us”), through its subsidiaries, owns and operates used automobile dealerships in the United States focusing on the sale and financing of used vehicles to the subprime market. The subprime market is comprised of customers with modest incomes who have experienced credit difficulties or have very limited credit histories. We finance substantially all the vehicles we sell through installment sales contracts (“loans”) and have not sold these loans to third party lenders or finance companies on a servicing released basis. We fund this portfolio primarily through portfolio warehouse facilities and portfolio term financings, including securitizations.

Ownership

DTAG, a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in April 1996. In January 2004, DTAG elected S-corporation status for income tax purposes. In February 2003, the shareholders of DTAG formed DT Acceptance Corporation (“DTAC”) which is also an S-corporation for income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the shareholders of DTAG and DTAC were Ernest C. Garcia II (Chairman) and the Garcia Family Trusts (collectively, herein also referred to as “Principal Shareholder” or “Mr. Garcia”) owning 98.3% of each of DTAG and DTAC, and Raymond C. Fidel (President and CEO) owning 1.7% of each of DTAG and DTAC. DTAG and DTAC are sister companies, generally with DTAG owning our sales operations and DTAC owning our financing operations.

Basis of Presentation

We have determined that DTAC is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and that DTAG is the primary beneficiary of DTAC. This determination was made under ASC 810, Consolidation, prior to January 1, 2010, and with consideration of amendments to the ASC in the FASB ASU 2009-17, Consolidation. We evaluated whether DTAG or DTAC are VIE’s and determined who is the primary beneficiary. In making this determination, we examined the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and whether there is an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In evaluating whether we have the power to direct such activities, we considered the purpose for which DTAC was created, the importance of each of the activities in which it is engaged and our decision making role, if any, in those activities that significantly determine DTAC’s economic performance as compared to other economic interest holders. We also evaluated DTAG’s economic interests in DTAC. This evaluation considered all relevant factors of the entity’s design, including capital structure, contractual rights and relationships that are currently, or have the potential to be, economically significant. We determined DTAC to be a VIE since as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power to direct the activities of DTAC that most significantly impact DTAC’s economic performance.

We determined DTAG is the primary beneficiary of DTAC because DTAG has both (1) the power to direct the activities of DTAC that most significantly impact DTAC’s economic performance and (2) a potentially significant variable interest that carries with it the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive benefits of DTAC. DTAG has the power to direct the activities of DTAC because it originates and sells 100% of the loan contracts DTAC is required to purchase, sets underwriting standards and origination terms, sets servicing and collection policies administered by DTAC, as well as the fact that DTAC was created and designed by DTAG to obtain third party financing for DTAG’s originations. DTAG also has potentially significant variable interests in the form of debt capital provided to DTAC through various debt issuances, guarantees of DTAC’s debt, as well as operational liabilities owed to DTAG, all of which carry the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of DTAC.

Total assets of DTAC consolidated into DTAG were approximately $1.7 billion at June 30, 2011, and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2010. These balances are comprised primarily of net finance receivables, restricted cash, investments held in trust, and deferred financing costs. Total liabilities of DTAC consolidated into DTAG were approximately $1.4 billion at June 30, 2011, and $1.1 billion at December 31, 2010. These balances are comprised primarily of portfolio warehouse and portfolio term debt. Total revenue of DTAC consolidated into DTAG for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and 2010, was approximately $73.1 million and $67.7 million, respectively. DTAC revenue is comprised primarily of interest income. DTAC expenses consolidated into DTAG were approximately $95.8 million and $88.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. DTAC expenses are primarily comprised of provision for credit losses, interest expense and general and administrative expenses. These amounts are reported on a stand-alone DTAC basis and are not shown net of intercompany assets, liabilities, revenue or expense.

Since DTAG and DTAC are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, we are required to separately present the non-controlling equity interest of the VIE (DTAC) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The non-controlling interest is DTAC’s GAAP equity and income for the periods presented and there are no third- party competing interests in DTAC.

Also included in the consolidated financial statements are wholly-owned special purpose subsidiaries of DTAC, which are all “bankruptcy remote subsidiaries” formed in conjunction with our securitizations, warehouse facilities and pooled auto loan program financing transactions.

Table of Contents

All intercompany accounts and transactions between DTAG and DTAC have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented and, although not material, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period financial statement presentation.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes as of and for the year-ended December 31, 2010, included in our Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 24, 2011.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities. Certain accounting estimates involve significant judgments, assumptions, and estimates by management that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period which management considers to be critical accounting estimates. The judgments, assumptions, and estimates used by management are based on historical experience, managements’ experience, and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ materially from these judgments and estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include the allowance for credit losses, inventory valuation, fair value measurements, certain legal reserves, our reserve for sales returns and allowances, our recovery receivables, and our warranty accrual. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

(2)   Restricted Cash and Investments Held in Trust

We maintain various cash accounts, which are pledged as collateral under our debt agreements. We are permitted to invest funds in these accounts in short-term liquid investments. The following is a summary of restricted cash and investments held in trust:

   $ 88,029       $ 81,891   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of collections related to loans held in securitization trusts, loans pledged to our portfolio warehouse facilities, and loans included in Pooled Auto Loan Program (PALP) transactions, which have been collected from customers, but have not yet been submitted either to the lenders or the securitization trustee, as appropriate.

Investments Held in Trust

We maintain cash reserve accounts on behalf of Asset-Backed Security investors in our securitizations and certain PALP transactions as a form of credit enhancement. At the time loans are transferred to a trust, a portion of the proceeds from sales of notes are deposited into a reserve account that is pledged to the trusts. We may be required to make additional deposits to reserve accounts from collections on the loans to fund the reserve account to the required target percentage. Investments held in trust also include collections related to loans held in securitization trusts and loans included in other term financing transactions, which have been collected from customers, and submitted to the trustee, but have not yet been paid to the lenders, as appropriate. Balances in the reserve accounts (which are a component of investments held in trust) totaled $15.5 million at June 30, 2011, and $7.1 million at December 31, 2010.

In accordance with the requirements of ASU 2010-20: Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, our disclosures include an aging analysis of past due financing receivables and credit quality. Our finance receivables are defined as one segment and one class of loans, which is sub-prime consumer auto loans. Therefore, the disaggregation of information into portfolio segment and classes for assets with different risk characteristics is limited, and the level of risks inherent in our financing receivables are managed as one homogeneous pool and further segmented with our proprietary credit scoring system as described below —Credit Quality Indicators. We have chosen our internal credit scoring to satisfy the required disclosure of credit risk quality since it has a direct and prominent impact in managing our portfolio receivables and monitoring its performance.

Finance receivables pledged as collateral associated with liabilities in our warehouse facilities, asset-backed securitizations, and other term financings, are provided in Note 5—Debt Obligations. We do not place loans on nonaccrual status, nor do we classify loans as impaired, since accounts are charged-off when they become contractually 91 days past due. We do not have loans that meet the definition of troubled debt restructurings; therefore, those disclosures are omitted. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, and the year ended December 31, 2010, we did not purchase or sell finance receivables, other than through securitization transactions which are consolidated on our balance sheet.

Credit quality information for our finance receivables portfolio is provided as of the dates indicated below:

An account is considered delinquent if a substantial portion (defined as at least 90%) of a scheduled payment has not been received by the date such payment was contractually due. Delinquencies may vary from period to period based upon the average age or seasoning of the portfolio, seasonality within the calendar year and economic factors. Delinquencies are presented on a Sunday-to- Sunday basis, which reflects delinquencies as of the nearest Sunday to period end. Sunday is used to eliminate any impact of the day of the week on delinquencies since delinquencies tend to be higher mid-week.

Credit Quality Indicators

Our proprietary credit grading system segments our customers into eight distinct credit grades. These credit grades range from A+ to D-, with A+ being the lowest risk credit grade and a D- being the highest risk credit grade. Generally, the lower the risk grade, the lower the loss rate. A summary of our portfolio by our internally assigned credit risk ratings at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, is as follows:

Securitization debt

We sell loans originated at our dealerships to our bankruptcy-remote securitization subsidiaries, which, in turn, transfer the loans to separate trusts that issue notes and certificates collateralized by these loans. The notes (asset-backed securities) are sold to investors, and we retain the residual certificates. We continue to service all securitized loans. We have determined that the trusts are variable interest entities and that DTAC is the primary beneficiary of those trusts, therefore, DTAC consolidates the trusts. As a result, loans included in the securitization transactions are recorded as finance receivables and the asset-backed securities that are issued by the trusts are recorded as a component of portfolio term financings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In May 2011, we completed a securitization transaction (“2011-2”) by issuing $247.0 million of asset-backed securities, collateralized by approximately $300.0 million of finance receivables. All of the bonds were sold to third parties and we retained the residual certificate. The asset-backed securities were rated by S&P and DBRS and are structured in four tranches without external credit enhancement from a monoline issuer. The duration weighted coupon of these four tranches was 2.88%.

Asset-backed securities outstanding are secured by underlying pools of finance receivables and investments held in trust of $861.6 million and $446.4 million at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. Asset-backed securities outstanding have interest payable monthly at fixed rates ranging from 2.88% to 5.38% at June 30, 2011, and 3.64% to 5.38% at December 31, 2010. These rates represent the original duration weighted average rates of the outstanding asset-backed securities. Credit enhancement for the asset-backed securities consists of a reserve account, over collateralization, and subordination of the certain classes of notes in each trust to more senior classes of notes in such trust. Over collateralization represents finance receivable principal balance in excess of the face value of asset-backed securities issued. Cash reserves are funded with proceeds from the sale of asset-backed securities and through cash collections. At June 30, 2011, our 2011-2, 2011-1, 2010-1, and our 2009-1 securitization trusts comprise the outstanding balance depicted above.

Individual securitization trusts are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted. Additionally, we have the option to purchase the remaining loans in a trust when the remaining principal balances of the loans reach a specified percentage (generally 10%) of their original principal balance. At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, all securitization trusts were in compliance with their covenants.

Portfolio term residual financing

As of June 30, 2011, we had a term residual facility with Santander Consumer USA Inc. (“Santander”), secured primarily by residual interests in our warehouse facilities. This facility allows for maximum borrowings of $100.0 million at an advance rate of 75% on the receivables pledged to the facility. This facility provides for funding through May 2012 with a term-out feature resulting in a final maturity of May 2013. Interest is fixed at 8.62%. At June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of this facility.

Pooled auto loan program financings (“PALP”)

PALP financings are secured by underlying pools of finance receivables and in certain cases a cash reserve account. At June 30, 2011, interest rates on our outstanding PALP facilities are at a fixed rate of 8.0%. At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the aggregate amount of finance receivables and cash reserve accounts securing these financings were $8.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively. The net advance rate on the receivables ranged from 64.9% to 72.6% of the principal balance for transactions outstanding at June 30, 2011, and from 69.9% to 74.1% of the principal balance for transactions outstanding at December 31, 2010. In certain cases there may be a cash reserve/holdback which is netted against the debt amount to arrive at the net advance rate. At June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the PALP financings.

Total Senior Secured Notes Payable

   $ 197,940       $ 197,829   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

In June 2010, we issued $200.0 million of 12.625% senior secured notes due 2017 ( “Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes were issued with an original issuance price of 98.854%, resulting in an effective yield of 12.875%. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi- annually in arrears on each June 15th and December 15th. Simultaneously with this offering, Verde Investments, Inc., a company owned by Mr. Garcia (“Verde”) exchanged $35.0 million of our subordinated notes and Mr. Fidel exchanged $2.0 million of our junior secured notes for $37.0 million aggregate principal balance of senior secured notes issued. Subsequently, in September 2010, Verde and Mr. Fidel purchased $10.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of the Senior Secured Notes at a price of 99.0% from an unrelated third party. As of December 31, 2010, as a result of these transactions, Verde and Mr. Fidel owned $45.0 million and $4.0 million of the Senior Secured Notes, respectively. In June 2011, Verde purchased Mr. Fidel’s $4.0 million of Senior Secured Notes, and Verde then sold the $49.0 million of Senior Secured Notes held by it on the open market. As a result, at June 30, 2011, none of the Senior Secured Notes were held by a related party. The sale by Verde was facilitated by the Company through an Offering Memorandum and did not result in any additional Senior Secured Notes being issued. At both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Senior Secured Notes are shown net of unamortized discount of $2.1 million.

Guarantees

The Senior Secured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries. The guarantees rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of these subsidiaries and equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of these subsidiaries.

Security

The collateral for the Senior Secured Notes consists of a (i) first lien on (a) finance receivables held by the issuers, (b) equity interests held by DTAC in the Pledged Special Purpose Subsidiaries (SPSs), and (c) residual property rights in finance receivables securing other financings, in each case subject to certain exceptions, and a (ii) second lien, behind one or more secured credit facilities, on inventory owned by one of the guarantors. If, following a payment default under the Senior Secured Notes, the holders of Senior Secured Notes exercise their rights under the pledge agreement with respect to the Pledged SPSs, a third-party paying agent will direct all cash flows from the Pledged SPSs to their respective defined sets of creditors, with the residual to be paid to the collateral agent for the Senior Secured Notes. Therefore, the first-priority lien on the equity interests of the Pledged SPSs is effectively a second-priority lien on the underlying collateral held by such Pledged SPSs.

Maintenance covenants

We are required to comply with certain maintenance covenants relating to minimum net worth and minimum collateral coverage. As of June 30, 2011, we are in compliance with such covenants.

Exchange offer and registration rights

We agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC and to make an offer to exchange the $151.0 million of Senior Secured Notes for registered, publicly tradable notes that have substantially identical terms. On October 4, 2010, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC. On April 29, 2011, the SEC declared the registration statement effective and we subsequently completed the exchange offer on June 2, 2011. As a result, we are now a public registrant with the SEC.

In connection with the sale of Verde’s $49.0 million of Senior Secured Notes in June 2011, we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC and make an offer to exchange the $49.0 million of Senior Secured Notes for registered, publicly tradable notes that have substantially identical terms. On June 24, 2011, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC, which was declared effective on July 8, 2011. We subsequently completed the exchange offer on August 9, 2011.

Relationship with Verde Investments, Inc.

Verde Investments, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Verde”) is an Arizona corporation that is wholly-owned by Mr. Garcia. Verde engages in the acquisition, development, and long-term investment in real estate and other commercial assets. Mr. Garcia is the principal stockholder, president and director of Verde.

Property lease expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we leased an average of 14 and 16 vehicle sales facilities, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we leased an average of 15 and 16 vehicle sales facilities, respectively. We also leased three reconditioning centers, our former loan servicing center (which is currently being partially subleased to a third-party tenant), and our corporate office from Verde and another affiliate of Mr. Garcia (the Garcia Family Limited Liability Partnership, LLP). At June 30, 2011, four of these facilities are closed locations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we also leased one used vehicle sales facility and a reconditioning center, which are both closed locations, from a director of DTAC, Steven Johnson, who is also Mr. Garcia’s brother-in-law.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded related party interest expense of $1.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, associated with our June 2010 issuance of $200.0 million of Senior Secured Notes, an aggregate of $49.0 million which was held by Verde and Mr. Fidel. In June 2011, Verde purchased Mr. Fidel’s $4.0 million of senior secured notes, solely to affect a sale of the aggregate $49.0 million of notes owned by Verde and Mr. Fidel. Verde sold all $49.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes to a third party on June 6, 2011, eliminating any related party Senior Secured Notes Payable as of June 30, 2011. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 represents interest paid to Verde and Mr. Fidel as the holders of record as of June 1, 2011, prior to the sale of the notes. See Note 5—Debt Obligations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded related party interest expense associated with the then outstanding related party junior secured notes payable and subordinated notes payable. We did not record related party interest expense associated with these notes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, since these notes were either exchanged for Senior Secured Notes or contributed to equity, in conjunction with our Senior Secured Notes offering in June 2010.

 

(7)   Income Taxes

The consolidated financial statements consist of DTAG (S-corporation status elected in 2004) and DTAC (an S-corporation since inception). Since DTAC and DTAG are flow-through entities for federal income tax purposes, there is no federal income tax expense related to the income of DTAC and DTAG, other than for one of DTAG’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, which is a C-corporation. The taxable income flows through to our shareholders who are responsible for paying the associated taxes. Although most states follow the federal recognition of S-corporation status, some states do impose an entity level tax on that income; therefore, the tax expense is adjusted accordingly. Income tax liability was $0.2 million and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively.

In addition, during May 2011 and June 2011, DTAG and DTAC received letters from the IRS noting that its examination of our 2008 federal income tax returns had been completed without any proposed changes.

(8)   Shareholders’ Equity, Dividends & Stock Compensation

Certain of our debt facilities place restrictions on the amount of cash dividends we are permitted to pay to our shareholders. We are permitted to pay cash dividends limited to an amount not greater than the percentage of S-corporation taxable income for such quarterly period equal to the highest combined federal, state, and/or local tax rate for individuals, plus 50% of the difference between pre-tax earnings less amounts paid for tax.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we paid $25.9 million in dividends related to first quarter 2011 income. We did not have any approved but unpaid dividends at June 30, 2011. However, we had approximately $20.0 million of dividends available to be distributed from second quarter 2011 earnings, which was approved to be paid by the Board of Directors in August 2011. Refer to Note 11—Subsequent Events for further information.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, we recorded $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in restricted stock compensation expense associated with the December 2010 Restricted Stock Agreements between Mr. Fidel and each of DTAG and DTAC. The stock compensation expense presented in Note 6—Related Party Transactions, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, relates to an employment agreement between Mr. Fidel and Mr. Garcia, which expired in June 2010.

 

(9)   Commitments and Contingencies

Limited warranty

Our DriveCare® limited warranty provides major mechanical and air-conditioning coverage on every used vehicle we sell. The limited warranty covers vehicles for 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, and includes oil changes at Sears Automotive locations nationwide and 24/7 roadside assistance. The warranty is included in the sales price of the vehicle and is not sold as a separate product. A liability for the estimated cost of vehicle repairs under our warranty program is established at the time a used vehicle is sold by charging costs of used vehicles sold. We currently offer no warranty outside of our DriveCare® limited warranty. The liability is evaluated for adequacy through an analysis based on the program’s historical performance of cost incurred per unit sold, management’s estimate of frequency of vehicles to be repaired and severity of claims, taking into account historical patterns and forecasted usage, the estimated cost of oil changes, and the estimated cost of roadside assistance, both of which are based on the program’s historical performance and our expectation of future usage.

The limited warranty accrual is recorded as a component of accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for each period presented. The following table reflects activity in the warranty accrual for the periods indicated:

At June 30, 2011, approximately $2.1 million remains in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for these lease obligations. At June 30, 2011, the expiration of these leases range from 2012 to 2018.

Legal matters

We are involved in various claims and actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based on consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on us. We believe appropriate accruals have been made for the disposition of these matters. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, we established an accrual for a liability when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are reviewed monthly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements and payments, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Legal expenses related to defense, negotiations, settlements, rulings, and advice of outside legal counsel are expensed as incurred.

There have been no material changes to the status of pending litigation or our accruals for legal matters disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended on March 31, 2011.

Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, we are a defendant in various other types of legal proceedings. Although we cannot determine at this time the amount of the ultimate exposure from these lawsuits, if any, based on the advice of counsel management does not expect the final outcome to have a material adverse effect on us.

 

(10)   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require that we disclose estimated fair values for our financial instruments. Fair values are based on estimates using quoted market prices, discounted cash flows, or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and the estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. Therefore, the estimates of fair value may differ substantially from amounts that ultimately may be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the financial instruments and those differences may be material. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent our underlying institutional value.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument; they are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties, matters of judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with ultimate precision. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular instrument. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Since the fair value is estimated as of each balance sheet date presented, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid in settlement of the instruments could be significantly different.

The following is a summary of carrying value and fair value of our financial instruments for each period presented:

Table of Contents

Valuation methodologies

Finance receivables

The fair value of finance receivables was estimated by discounting future cash flows expected to be collected using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and the same remaining maturities. This discounted cash flow is estimated utilizing internal valuation models, which use a combination of market inputs (i.e. discount rates for similar and like transactions) and our own assumptions regarding credit losses, recoveries, and prepayment rates in our portfolio. We estimate the cash flow of the portfolio and the cash flow of our retained interests in securitization and PALP transactions in measuring total cash flow. These cash flows are developed on a leveraged basis since our finance receivable portfolio is financed by these debt instruments and are not separable transactions.

Portfolio warehouse facilities

The portfolio warehouse facilities are short term in nature and the interest rates adjust in conjunction with the lender’s cost of funds or 30-day LIBOR. Warehouse Facility I was amended in July 2010 to reduce its capacity from $250.0 million to $150.0 million and we extended the maturity from December 2010 to December 2011, with no change in interest rate. Warehouse Facility II was terminated in May 2011. Warehouse Facility III was renewed in April 2011, and Warehouse Facility IV was renewed in May 2011. Since these warehouse facilities were recently renewed or executed and contain a floating market rate of interest and we have the ability to pay these off at anytime, we believe the fair value of these facilities approximates carrying value at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010.

Pooled auto loan program financings

The fair value of PALP debt at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is based on third party discounted cash flow using market interest rates for this debt.

Portfolio term residual financing

This facility allows for maximum borrowings under a term component of $100.0 million bearing a fixed rate of interest of 8.62%. Since we have the right to prepay the debt starting on May 9, 2011, we believe the fair value of this debt approximates carrying value at June 30, 2011, adjusted for prepayment fees.

Securitization debt

The fair value of securitization debt was estimated using third party quoted market prices.

Revolving inventory facility

At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the fair value of the inventory facility was determined using third party market interest rates for similar types of facilities.

Mortgage note payable

At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the fair value of this note was determined using third-party market prices for similar commercial real estate mortgages.

Senior secured notes payable

The fair value of senior secured notes payable at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, was determined using third-party quoted market prices.

Equipment note payable

At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the fair value of the equipment note payable was determined using third-party discounted cash flow using market interest rates for this debt.

(11)   Subsequent Events

In August 2011, the board of directors approved $20.0 million of dividends relating to second quarter 2011 earnings. This amount will be distributed by the end of August 2011.

 

(12)   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other accounting standards setting bodies, which we may adopt as of the specified date required by each standard. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The below information is not a comprehensive list of all new pronouncements. We have only included those pronouncements we believe the reader of the financial statements would find meaningful. We have excluded certain pronouncements that we believe do not apply to us or the industry in which we operate.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement related to fair value measurement (FASB ASC Topic 820), which amends current guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments generally represent clarification of FASB ASC Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements given that we do not carry our financial instruments at fair value.

 

(13)   Supplemental Consolidating Financial Information

In accordance with the indenture governing the 12.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (see Note 5—Debt Obligations), certain wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries of the Company have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Senior Secured Notes on a joint and several basis. Pursuant to Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10(f), we are required to present condensed consolidating financial information for subsidiaries that have guaranteed the debt of a registrant issued in a public offering, where the guarantee is full and unconditional, joint and several, and where the voting interest of the subsidiary is 100% owned by the registrant.

The following tables present condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010; and condensed consolidating statements of income and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 for (i) DTAG and DTAC, —the co-issuers of the Senior Secured Notes, (ii) the separate DTAG and DTAC guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, (iii) the separate DTAG and DTAC non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, (iv) elimination adjustments, and (v) total consolidated amounts. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because management believes that such information is not material to the senior note holders. Consolidating adjustments include elimination of investment in subsidiaries, elimination of intercompany accounts; elimination of intercompany sales between guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries; and elimination of equity in earnings (losses) of subsidiaries. The condensed consolidating financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements herein.

Included in the column for DTAG Guarantor Subsidiaries Combined are DriveTime Sales and Finance Company, LLC and DriveTime Car Sales Company, LLC. Included in the column for DTAC Guarantor Subsidiaries Combined are DT Credit Company, LLC, and DT Jet Leasing, LLC. Included in the column for DTAG Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries Combined are all other subsidiaries that are wholly-owned by DTAG and included in the column for DTAC Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries Combined are all other subsidiaries that are wholly-owned by DTAC, that are not guarantor subsidiaries. The column for the Issuers includes the accounts for DTAG and DTAC as issuers and as parent company for each of its respective subsidiaries.

Consolidated amounts are immaterially different compared to the consolidated financial statements due to rounding.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on June 24, 2011, as well as our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Unless otherwise indicated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “DriveTime,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to DriveTime Automotive Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity.

Overview

We are the leading used vehicle retailer in the United States with a sole focus on the sale and financing of quality vehicles to the subprime market. Through our branded dealerships, we provide our customers with a comprehensive end-to-end solution for their automotive needs, including the sale, financing, and maintenance of their vehicles. As of June 30, 2011, we owned and operated 86 dealerships and 15 reconditioning facilities in 31 geographic regions in 16 states. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we sold 31,734 vehicles, generated $608.3 million of total revenue (which consists of vehicle sales and interest income), and generated $120.1 million of Adjusted EBITDA. We provide our customers with financing for substantially all of the vehicles we sell. As of June 30, 2011, our loan portfolio had a total outstanding principal balance of $1.5 billion. We maintain our loan portfolio and related financings on our balance sheet.

Over the past 19 years, we have developed an integrated business model that consists of vehicle acquisition, reconditioning, sales, underwriting and finance, loan servicing, and after sale support. We believe that our model enables us to operate successfully in the underserved subprime market segment. In addition, we believe that our model allows us to systematically open new dealerships in existing and new markets throughout the United States.

Our integrated business model is focused on giving our customers the ability to acquire quality used vehicles through six key activities:

 

   

Vehicle acquisition. We acquire inventory primarily from used vehicle auctions. Our centralized vehicle selection strategy takes into account many factors, including the retail value, age, and costs of buying, reconditioning, and delivering the vehicle for resale, along with buyer affordability and desirability. At June 30, 2011, we employed over 30 buyers who average over five years of experience with us. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we purchased 30,404 vehicles from over 130 auctions nationwide.

Vehicle reconditioning and distribution. Subsequent to acquisition, vehicles are transported to one of our 15 regional reconditioning facilities, where we recondition the vehicles and perform a rigorous multi-point inspection for safety and operability. On average, we spend approximately $1,400 in reconditioning costs per vehicle sold, including parts and labor. Upon passing our quality assurance testing, we determine the distribution of vehicles to our dealerships based on current inventory mix and levels, along with sales patterns at each dealership.

 

   

Vehicle sales. We focus on selling quality used vehicles with affordable payments through our extensive network of company-owned dealerships. Our dealerships maintain a range of approximately 60-70 vehicles. We utilize targeted television, radio, and online advertising programs to promote our brand and encourage customers to complete an online credit application and visit our dealerships. Approximately 53% of our customers completed an online credit application before visiting one of our dealerships in the six month period ended June 30, 2011. Our dealerships are generally located in high traffic commercial districts and showcase our DriveTime logos and color schemes. Our sales process features no-haggle pricing and prices are established centrally based on pricing targets and vehicle turn times. Customers are assisted through their buying and financing process by salaried sales advisors.

 

   

Underwriting and finance. Using information provided as part of the credit application process, our centralized proprietary credit scoring system determines a customer’s credit grade and the corresponding minimum down payment and maximum installment payment. We monitor the performance of our portfolio and close rates on a real-time basis, allowing us to centrally adjust pricing and financing terms to balance sales volumes and loan performance.

 

   

Loan servicing. We perform all servicing functions for our loan portfolio, from collections through the resale of repossessed vehicles. Our collections are centralized into four regional collection facilities and our collections teams use an automated dialer and messaging systems in our collections strategy. We allow customers to make payments in cash at over 3,700 Wal-Mart stores and more than 12,000 other locations nationwide, as well as through traditional payment methods. Our experienced collection staff utilizes our proprietary collection software, which we developed specifically for subprime auto loans. We use behavioral models designed to predict payment habits, as well as automated dialer and messaging systems to enhance collection efficiency. We utilize our vehicle acquisition and sales expertise in representing our vehicles at auction in order to maximize the recovery value of repossessed vehicles.

 

   

After sale support. As part of our no-haggle vehicle sale price, we provide our DriveCare® limited warranty; a 36 month / 36,000 mile warranty, including oil changes at Sears Automotive locations nationwide and 24/7 roadside assistance, on each vehicle we sell. The warranty is included in the sales price of each vehicle, and not sold as a separate product. We self-administer our warranty program through our in-house team of customer service representatives, including warranty claim specialists who are certified mechanics, and our pre-approved vendor network of independent third-party repair facilities.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation, and availability of resources. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates, or forecasts as to our business, financial and operational results, and future economic performance; and statements of management’s goals and objectives and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

 

   

changes to our business plan that are currently being implemented, and those that may be implemented in the future, may not be successful and may cause unintended consequences;

 

   

interest rates affect our profitability and cash flows and an increase in interest rates will increase our interest expense and lower our profitability and liquidity;

 

   

general, wholesale used vehicle auction prices, and economic conditions and their effect on automobile sales;

 

   

seasonal and other fluctuations in our results of operations;

 

   

our ability to complete any pending financing transactions

For additional information regarding risks that may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the “Risk Factors” section of our Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed with the SEC on June 24, 2011, which identifies events and important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions, or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, impacting our reported results of operations and financial condition.

Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management, which have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the recognition of income and expenses. Management considers these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The significant accounting policies which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described below.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of used vehicles is recognized upon delivery, when the sales contract is signed, and the agreed-upon down payment or purchase price has been received. Sales of used vehicles include revenue from the sale of used vehicles, net of a reserve for returns. The reserve for returns is estimated using historical experience and trends and could be affected if future vehicle returns differ from historical averages. A 10.0% increase in our rate of returns would result in a $0.4 million increase in our sales return allowance (and corresponding decrease in revenue) for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Revenue is recognized at time of sale since persuasive evidence of an arrangement in the form of an installment sales contract exists, we have delivered the vehicle to the customer, transferred title, the sale has a fixed and determinable price, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Allowance for credit losses

We maintain an allowance for credit losses on an aggregate basis at a level we consider sufficient to cover probable credit losses inherent in our portfolio of receivables as of each reporting date utilizing a loss emergence period to cover 12 months of estimated losses. The allowance takes into account historical credit loss experience, including timing, frequency and severity of losses. This estimate of existing probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio is primarily based on static pool analyses by month of origination based on origination principal, credit grade mix and deal structure, including down payment and term. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance also considers factors and assumptions regarding the overall portfolio quality, delinquency status, the value of the underlying collateral, current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay, and the overall effectiveness of collection efforts.

The static pool loss curves by grade are adjusted for actual performance to date, and historical seasonality patterns. The forecasted periodic loss rates, which drive the forecast for estimated gross losses (before recoveries) are calculated by factoring amortization speed, and origination terms. Charge-offs have a natural seasonality pattern such that they are typically lower during the first and second quarters of each calendar year because customers generally have additional money from tax refunds to apply to their loans, compared to the third and fourth quarters when charge-offs tend to increase. Recoveries are estimated using historical unit and dollar static pool recovery activity to forecast recoveries for estimated charge-offs at the balance sheet date. The forecasted recovery rates (on a per unit basis) are based on the historical unit recovery trend by recovery type as adjusted for estimated impact of economic and market conditions.

The allowance model is sensitive to changes in assumptions such that an increase or decrease in our forecasted net charge-offs would increase or decrease the allowance as a percentage of principal outstanding required to be maintained. The amount of our allowance is sensitive to losses within credit grade, recovery values, deal structure, the loss emergence period and overall credit grade mix of the portfolio. In the event loss assumptions used in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses were to increase, there would be a corresponding increase in the amount of the allowance for credit losses, which would decrease the net carrying value of finance receivables and increase the amount of provision for credit losses, thereby decreasing net income. A 5% increase in our frequency loss assumption would increase the allowance for credit losses and our provision for credit losses by $9.3 million and $8.4 million as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. Also, a 5% decrease in our assumed recoveries per loan charged off, would result in an increase to the allowance for credit losses and provision for credit losses by $6.3 million and $4.2 million as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our ability to forecast net charge-offs and track static pool net losses by month of origination are a critical aspect of this analysis.

Although it is reasonably possible that events or circumstances could occur in the future that are not presently foreseen, which could cause actual credit losses to be materially different from the recorded allowance for credit losses, we believe that we have given appropriate consideration to the relevant factors and have made reasonable assumptions in determining the level of the allowance. Our credit and underwriting policies and adherence to such policies and the execution of collections processes have a significant impact on collection results, as well as the economy as a whole. Changes to the economy, unemployment, auction prices for repossessed vehicles, and collections and recovery processes could materially affect our reported results.

Recovery receivables

All loans over 90 days past due at month end are charged-off. Recovery receivables consist of estimated recoveries to be received on charged-off receivables, including proceeds from selling repossessed vehicles at auction, along with insurance, bankruptcy and deficiency collections. The recovery amount from selling repossessed vehicles at auction is a forecast of vehicles to be recovered from loans previously charged-off and vehicles currently in our possession. Based on our extensive experience and historical database of auction recoveries, we estimate the number of units we will recover and the value that we will receive for these vehicles at auction. Our forecast utilizes historical data with respect to recovery rates, values, and time from charge-off to repossession. In order to estimate auction recoveries we utilize historical static pool unit recovery rates as adjusted for recent market trends to arrive at the forecasted recovery dollars by static pool month of charge-offs. Insurance, bankruptcy and deficiency collections are estimated using historical trends adjusted for changes to recovery practices.

Valuation of inventory

Inventory consists of used vehicles held-for-sale or currently undergoing reconditioning and is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Vehicle inventory cost is determined by specific identification. Direct and indirect vehicle reconditioning costs including parts and labor, costs to transport the vehicles to our dealership locations, buyer costs, and other incremental costs are capitalized as a component of inventory cost. Determination of the market value of inventory involves assumptions regarding wholesale loss rates derived from historical trends and could be affected by changes in supply and demand at our retail locations and at the auctions. A 1.0% decrease in the valuation of our inventory at June 30, 2011, would result in a decrease in net income of approximately $1.4 million.

Secured financings

We sell loans originated at our dealerships to our bankruptcy-remote securitization subsidiaries, which, in turn, transfer the loans to separate trusts that issue notes and certificates collateralized by these loans. The notes (asset-backed securities) are sold to investors, and we retain the certificates. We continue to service all securitized loans. We have determined that the trusts are variable interest entities and that DTAC is the primary beneficiary of those trusts. Therefore, loans included in the securitization transactions are recorded as finance receivables and the asset-backed securities that are issued by the trusts are recorded as a component of portfolio term financings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Limited warranty

Our DriveCare® limited warranty provides major mechanical and air-conditioning coverage, on every used vehicle we sell. The limited warranty covers vehicles for 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, and includes oil changes at Sears Automotive locations nationwide and 24/7 roadside assistance. The warranty is included in the sales price of the vehicle and is not sold as a separate product. A liability for the estimated cost of vehicle repairs under our warranty program is established at the time a used vehicle is sold by charging costs of used vehicles sold. We currently offer no warranty outside of our DriveCare® limited warranty. The liability is evaluated for adequacy through an analysis based on the program’s historical performance of cost incurred per unit sold, management’s estimate of frequency of vehicles to be repaired and severity of claims based on vehicles currently under warranty, the estimated cost of oil changes, and the estimated cost of roadside assistance, both of which are based on the program’s historical performance and our expectation of future usage. These assumptions are further affected by mix, mileage, and age of vehicles sold and our ability to recondition vehicles prior to sale. A 5.0% increase in our warranty frequency assumptions related to warranty usage and a 5.0% increase in our warranty severity assumptions would result in a $1.7 million increase in our warranty accrual at June 30, 2011, and a corresponding reduction in net income.

Factors Affecting Comparability

We have set forth below selected factors that we believe have had, or can be expected to have, a significant effect on the comparability of recent or future results of operations:

Reporting company expenses

Our 12.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (“Senior Secured Notes”) required us to file a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC and to make an offer to exchange the Senior Secured Notes for registered publicly tradable notes that have substantially identical terms. On October 4, 2010, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 that was declared effective by the SEC as of April 29, 2011. Upon registration of the exchange notes, we became subject to a number of additional requirements, including the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we pay our employees, legal counsel, and accountants to assist us in, among other things, establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting, and preparing and distributing periodic public reports under the federal securities laws.

Interest expense

As a result of the issuance of our Senior Secured Notes and the use of proceeds there from to repay certain of our indebtedness, and the contribution of an aggregate of $100.1 million of subordinated notes and junior secured notes into equity in connection with the offering of such notes, as well as the warehouse facilities and, securitization transactions which have a lower cost of funds compared to previously outstanding debt instruments, we expect that our weighted average cost of funds will be lower in future periods. To the extent our average amount borrowed is also less in future periods, we would expect a decrease in our interest expense in future periods.

Sales tax refunds

In February 2011 we received an unfavorable ruling from the Nevada Supreme Court with regards to certain sales tax refunds we had requested for the 2002 and 2003 tax years. As a result, we are no longer claiming the sales tax refunds relating to receivables that have become uncollectible in the State of Nevada. Going forward, we expect an annual decrease in sales tax recoveries related to this matter. To our knowledge, this decision by the State of Nevada should not affect our position regarding sales tax refunds in other states. For further information, see Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies: Legal Matters to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

Statement of Operations—Line Item Descriptions

Revenue

Sales of used vehicles

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from the sale of used vehicles. Sales of used vehicles include revenue from the sale of vehicles, net of a reserve for returns. Factors affecting revenue from sales of used vehicles include the number of used vehicles we sell and the price at which we sell our vehicles. Our reserve for returns is affected by the number of vehicles returned under our three-day right of rescission policy.

The number of used vehicles we sell depends on the volume of customer applications received and the conversion rate from customer application to sale. Application volume is a function of the number of dealerships, advertising, customer referrals, repeat customer volume, other marketing efforts, competition from other used car dealerships, availability of credit from other subprime finance companies, and general economic conditions. The conversion rate from customer application to sale is a function of our underwriting standards, customer sales experience, customer affordability, vehicle inventory, and warranty provided. The price at which we sell our vehicles is dependent on our pricing strategy, which balances margins, sales volume, and loan performance.

Interest income

Interest income consists of interest earned on installment sales contracts net of amortization of loan origination costs, plus late payment fees and interest earned on investments held in trust. We write-off accrued interest on charged-off loans as a reduction to interest income. Interest income is affected by (i) the principal balance of our loan portfolio, (ii) the average APR of our loan portfolio, and (iii) the payment performance by our borrowers on their loans.

Costs and expenses

Cost of used vehicles sold

Cost of used vehicles sold includes the cost to acquire vehicles, reconditioning and transportation costs associated with preparing the vehicles for resale, vehicle warranty, and other related costs. The cost to acquire vehicles includes the vehicle purchase price, auction fees, wages, and other buyer costs. A liability for the estimated cost of vehicle repairs under our DriveCare® limited vehicle warranty program is established at the time a used vehicle is sold by charging cost of used vehicles sold.

The cost of used vehicles sold is affected by a variety of factors including: (i) the cost of vehicles purchased at auction, (ii) the supply and demand of vehicles purchased at auction, (iii) the quality, make, model, and age of vehicles acquired, (iv) transportation costs, (v) labor costs and costs to operate our reconditioning facilities, and (vi) warranty costs.

Provision for credit losses

Provision for credit losses is the charge recorded to operations to maintain an allowance adequate to cover losses inherent in the portfolio. We charge-off the entire principal balance of receivables that are contractually 91 or more days past due at the end of a month, net of estimated recoveries. The allowance for credit losses varies based on size of the loan portfolio and the expected performance of the loans. Loan performance is a function of the underlying credit quality of the portfolio, the effectiveness of collection activities, auction values for repossessed vehicles, other ancillary collections, and overall economic conditions.

We anticipate the allowance for credit losses to grow as we increase origination volume and grow our portfolio. However, the allowance as a percentage of portfolio principal may increase or decrease based on the underlying performance of loans originated, value of collateral, and the change in credit grade mix of loans originated. Since we tightened our loan underwriting standards beginning in the second quarter of 2008 our allowance as a percent of principal has decreased as a result of a decrease in net charge- offs. Loans originated since we tightened our underwriting standards represent 94.0% of our loan portfolio as of June 30, 2011.

Portfolio debt and non-portfolio debt and senior secured notes interest expense

Portfolio debt interest expense consists of interest and related amortization of debt issuance costs on our portfolio warehouse facilities, securitizations, PALP financings, and term residual financing.

Non-portfolio debt interest expense consists of interest expense and related amortization of discounts and debt issuance costs on our Senior Secured Notes payable, inventory facility, junior secured notes, subordinated notes payable real estate mortgage financing, and an equipment note payable. Non-portfolio debt interest expense is dependent on the amount of indebtedness and the interest expense associated therewith, both of which are dependent on the financial markets and economy as a whole.

Selling and marketing

Selling and marketing expenses include promotional costs, advertising, and marketing-related costs. Our selling and marketing expenses are generally affected by the cost of advertising media, our marketing strategy, and production costs of TV and radio commercials.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses include compensation and benefits, property-related expenses, collection expenses on our portfolio, store closing costs, and other ancillary expenses, such as professional fees and services.

Sales of used vehicles

Revenue from sales of used vehicles increased $25.1 million or 14.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and increased $55.6 million or 13.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods during 2010. These increases in revenue were primarily due to an 11.0% increase in sales volume, coupled with a 2.2% increase in the average sales price per vehicle sold during the six months ended 2011. The increase in sales volume is primarily attributable to an increase in the average number of stores in operation year over year and an increase in the number of units sold per store, as a result of opening larger stores with greater sales volume. The increase in the number of stores in operation is a result of opening five net new stores since the second quarter of 2010. The increase in average sales price per vehicle sold is attributable to an overall increase in the average cost of used vehicles sold, primarily as a result of an increase in acquisition costs from appreciation in wholesale used vehicle prices. See also “—Cost of used vehicles sold”.

Internet-related sales are a component of revenue from the sales of used vehicles discussed above. We define internet-related sales as those sales where a credit application was completed over the internet prior to the customer visiting our dealership, within three months of the sale. Internet sales revenue increased $7.8 million, or 8.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 and internet sales revenue increased $30.5 million, or 14.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. As a percent of total sales revenue, internet-related sales comprised 50.8% and 52.8% of our total sales revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

Interest income

Interest income increased $4.6 million, or 6.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and increased $9.9 million, or 7.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010. These increases are primarily due to an increase in our average portfolio principal outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Average portfolio principal outstanding increased $92.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, and average principal portfolio outstanding increased $82.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Increases in both periods were a result of an increase in originations over portfolio run-off. See “Originations” below for further discussion.

Cost of used vehicles sold

Total cost of used vehicles sold increased $18.2 million, or 16.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and increased $40.8 million, or 15.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010. These increases were due to an increase in the number of vehicles sold and an increase in the average cost of vehicles sold. Our cost of vehicles sold per unit increased primarily as a result of higher acquisition costs at auction as a result of an appreciation in wholesale used vehicle prices. Wholesale used vehicle prices increased during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010, as a result of increased demand for used vehicles, coupled with a decrease in supply of used vehicles nationwide. Acquisition costs are a function of the vehicle make, model, and year mix that we acquire, along with vehicle wholesale auction price trends for the segment of vehicles that we target for acquisition. The average vehicle age and mileage of vehicles sold during 2011 increased as compared to the same periods in 2010 in an effort to maintain overall affordability for our customers. Vehicle reconditioning costs and warranty related costs also increased due to the increase in vehicle age and mileage.

Gross margin

Gross margin increased $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010, and gross margin as a percentage of sales revenue decreased to 34.9% from 36.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Gross margin as a percentage of sales revenue decreased to 36.5% from 37.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in gross margin percentage is primarily attributable to an increase in our “Cost of used vehicles sold” as described above, while only a portion of these costs were passed on to our customers through an increase in sales price. Our total cost per vehicle sold increased 4.4% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, while our average price per vehicle sold only increased 2.7% and 2.2% respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010.

Provision for credit losses

Provision for credit losses increased $5.4 million, or 15.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and increased $11.5 million, or 14.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010. These increases are a result of an increase in the principal balance of loans outstanding as a result of an increase in originations over portfolio run-off, which was partially offset by a lower allowance as a percentage of principal outstanding.

Net charge-offs as a percent of average outstanding principal decreased to 2.4% from 2.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 5.4% from 5.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, for the same periods in 2010. This improvement is primarily due to favorable recovery values throughout 2011. Although gross principal charged-off increased to 4.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 4.2% for the same period in the prior year, gross charge offs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 have decreased 9.7% compared to 9.8% for the same period in the prior year. Recoveries as a percentage of principal charged-off increased to 44.5% from 41.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 43.8% from 41.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, for the same period in 2010. The improvement in recoveries is due primarily to higher auction values stemming from appreciation in the wholesale used vehicle market.

The allowance for credit losses increased by $14.8 million from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011. However, as a percentage of principal outstanding, the allowance decreased from 15.0% to 14.9%. The increase in the allowance dollars is a direct result of an increase in the size of the portfolio at June 30, 2011. The decrease in the allowance as a percent of outstanding principal balance is due primarily to the improved performance and credit quality of our portfolio.

Portfolio debt interest expense

Total portfolio debt interest expense decreased $9.7 million, or 47.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Total portfolio debt interest expense decreased $16.2 million, or 41.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. These decreases are a result of both a decrease in the average amount borrowed under portfolio debt of $3.5 million and $31.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010, and a decrease in the overall cost of funds of portfolio debt to 4.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 9.4% for 2010. The decrease in our costs of funds is attributable to lower borrowing costs of our recent securitizations, a decrease in borrowing costs of our warehouse facilities, as well as the termination of our PALP agreement with Santander in the second quarter of 2010, which bore a higher cost of funds than both our securitizations and warehouse facilities.

Non-portfolio debt interest expense

Total non-portfolio debt interest expense decreased $5.3 million, or 88.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Total non-portfolio debt interest expense decreased $11.9 million, or 89.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. These decreases were primarily due to the exchange of $60.1 million junior secured notes and $40.0 million of subordinated debt for equity, and the exchange of $2.0 million junior secured notes and $35.0 million in subordinated debt for an equal principal amount of Senior Secured Notes, both of which occurred in conjunction with the offering of our Senior Secured Notes in June 2010. As a result, the average balance of non-portfolio debt decreased $128.3 million for the second quarter 2011 compared to second quarter 2010 and the year to date average balance decreased $142.0 million compared to the same period in 2010. Further, the average cost of funds of non-portfolio debt decreased to 5.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from 13.2% for the same period in 2010. The average cost of funds of non-portfolio debt decreased to 5.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from 13.5% for the same period in 2010, as a result of these transactions.

Senior secured debt interest expense

Senior secured debt interest expense increased $4.7 million and $11.4 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010. These increases were a result of the issuance in June 2010 of our Senior Secured Notes. The weighted average effective rate on these notes is 13.1%, which includes amortization of discount and deferred financing costs.

Selling and marketing expense

Selling and marketing expenses increased $2.0 million, or 45.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $4.9, or 56.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010. These increases were due to an increase in our advertising expenses, primarily related to our television and internet marketing strategy, an increase in television commercial production, and an increase in advertising associated with operating in new geographic locations as a result of expansion of our dealership base.

General and administrative expense

General and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million, or 3.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and increased $4.6 million, or 5.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010. These increases were primarily the result of an increase lease expense related to the number of dealerships and reconditioning centers in operation year over year and an increase in salaries and wages as we increase the number of employees in conjunction with our overall expansion.

Net income

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $32.1 million from $19.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $72.6 million dollars from $52.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. These increases were primarily attributable to an increase in total gross margin dollars from the sales of used vehicles, and an increase in net interest income (interest income less total interest expense); partially offset by an increase in provision for loan losses as a result of a larger finance receivable portfolio, and an increase in general and administrative expenses.

We originate loans when a customer finances the purchase of one of our vehicles, and the balance on these loans, together with accrued interest and unamortized loan origination costs, comprises our portfolio of finance receivables. Receivables are financed to generate liquidity for our business. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

The principal amount of loans we originated increased $26.0 million and $57.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and we originated 11.1% and 11.0% more loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010. These increases were due to an increase in the number of used vehicles sold, and an increase in the average amount financed per loan originated as a direct result of an increase in the average sales price per vehicle sold, and a decrease in the average down payment per loan originated. Average APR decreased to 20.7% from 22.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The average term increased by 2.9 and 3.0 months for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010. These changes are due to changes in our overall interest rate and financing/underwriting strategy, which are designed to ensure affordability to our customers.

Finance receivables principal balance, average principal balance and the number of loans outstanding period over period increased as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010, due to origination volume exceeding portfolio run-off (regular principal payments, payoffs, and charge-offs).

Delinquencies

As a percentage of total outstanding loan principal balances, delinquencies over 30 days were 8.3% and 7.1% at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in delinquencies is the result of a change in our collection strategy for early delinquencies. In conjunction with our centralization of collections during 2010, we are utilizing messaging and dialer technologies for early delinquencies in order to achieve a more cost effective collections process. As a result, we anticipate delinquencies to be relatively higher than our historical rates, but expect this increase to level off once our efficiencies are achieved. We do not expect this increase in delinquencies from this change in operations to have a significant impact on charge-offs.

Seasonality

Historically, we have experienced higher revenues in the first quarter of the calendar year than in the last three quarters of the calendar year. We believe these results are due to seasonal buying patterns resulting, in part, because many of our customers receive income tax refunds during the first quarter of the year, which are a primary source of down payments on used vehicle purchases. Our portfolio of finance receivables also has historically followed a seasonal pattern, with delinquencies and charge-offs being the highest in the second half of the year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We require capital for the purchase of inventory, to provide financing to our customers, for working capital and for general corporate purposes, including the purchase of property and equipment, and to open new dealerships and reconditioning facilities.

We have historically funded our capital requirements primarily through operating cash flow, portfolio warehouse facilities, securitizations, PALP financings, term residual facilities, inventory and other revolving debt facilities, real estate mortgage financing, and other notes payable (including senior secured notes, junior secured notes, senior unsecured notes, and subordinated notes).

Financing sources

We currently fund our capital requirements through the following debt instruments:

 

   

Portfolio term financings including asset-backed securitizations, and a term residual facility, both of which offer fixed rate secured financing for our receivables portfolio.

 

   

Portfolio warehouse facilities including agreements with three different institutional lenders.

 

   

Senior Secured Notes due 2017.

 

   

Other secured notes payable including a revolving inventory facility, a mortgage loan for our operations call center in Mesa, Arizona, and other notes and capital leases secured by property and equipment.

 

   

Operating leases for the majority of our dealerships, reconditioning centers, operations facilities and our corporate offices.

For additional details and terms regarding these debt instruments, see Note 5—Debt Obligations to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

Our warehouse facilities include certain favorable terms and conditions, including (i) the inability of the lender to subjectively lower collateral values and effectively lower the advance rate; (ii) recourse that is limited to 10% of the facility size; and (iii) limited foreclosure rights upon a default.

We actively manage utilization of our various funding sources as we seek to minimize borrowing costs through drawing on our lower cost facilities and minimizing unused line fees, while at the same time balancing the effective advance rates and liquidity generated by each of the credit facilities in order to meet our funding needs. The effective advance rates on our portfolio warehouse and term financings are based on the outstanding principal balance of the loans we originate. However, our initial investment in the loans we originate is lower than the original principal balance of the loans.

Recent financing and cash flow transactions

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we paid $25.9 million in dividends to shareholders related to income earned during the three months ended March 31, 2011. In August 2011, the Board of Directors approved $20.0 million of dividends relating to second quarter 2011 earnings. This amount will be distributed by the end of August 2011.

In April 2011, we executed a renewal of our warehouse credit facility with UBS, extending the term from April 2011 to August 15, 2012, decreasing the interest rate to LIBOR plus 1.90% from LIBOR plus 2.50%, and increasing the advance rate from 50% to 60%.

In May 2011, we completed the 2011-2 securitization transaction by issuing $247.0 million of asset-backed securities, collateralized by approximately $300.0 million of finance receivables. The asset-backed securities were rated by S&P and DBRS and are structured in four tranches without external credit enhancement from a monoline issuer. The duration weighted coupon of these four tranches was 2.88%.

In May 2011, we paid off the outstanding balance on Warehouse Facility II with Santander and terminated the facility. We borrowed an aggregate of $100.0 million across our three other warehouse facilities in order to pay-off and terminate the Santander facility.

In May 2011, we executed a renewal of our warehouse facility with RBS, increasing the facility size from $50.0 million to $125.0 million, increasing the advance rate from 50% to 53%, decreasing the interest rate to the lender’s cost of funds plus 1.50% from 2.50%, and extending the maturity to May 2012.

Operating leases

Operating leases are a significant component of our financing sources. At June 30, 2011, we lease the majority of our dealership and reconditioning center locations. We also lease our corporate office in Phoenix, Arizona, and operations collections facilities in Dallas, Texas, Orlando, Florida, and Richmond, Virginia. As each lease matures, we evaluate the existing location to determine whether the dealership should be relocated to another site in the region closer in proximity to new car franchises and/or higher traffic retail areas. As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately $87.0 million in aggregate operating lease obligations.

Changes in liquidity

Changes in liquidity are affected by increases and decreases to our operating cash flow, changes in advance rates on our portfolio warehouse facilities, capacity of our portfolio warehouse and inventory facilities, portfolio term financings, and changes in other notes payable. The following is a summary of changes in liquidity for each period presented:

 

     Six Months ended

Our liquidity for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $56.0 million, from $145.8 million at December 31, 2010, to $201.8 million at June 30, 2011. This increase was primarily the result of increases in advance rates on warehouse facilities and higher advance rates on our two most recent securitizations, which resulted in an overall higher blended advance rate on our receivable financings.

Cash flows

Operating activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was $22.6 million, as compared to $25.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to a larger increase in finance receivable originations and a smaller decrease in inventory levels. Partially offsetting these effects were an increase in net income and an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Investing activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities increased to $20.5 million from $5.8 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the opening of new stores and the purchase of new properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we purchased a store and a reconditioning facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, eleven new stores were under development and have opened or are planned to be opened later in the year. We are also in the process of remodeling our existing dealerships, and improving our information technology infrastructure equipment which supports our operations. By comparison, we opened three new stores in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and had one store in development at June 30, 2010.

Financing activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.4 million, compared to $16.5 million used in financing activities for the same period in 2010. This change was primarily the result of cash inflows from two securitizations during the six months ended June 30, 2011, whereas we did not complete a securitization in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Senior Secured Notes Collateral

Our Senior Secured Notes require us to maintain a collateral coverage ratio of 1.5x of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Secured Notes. The following is the calculation of the collateral coverage ratio as of June 30, 2011. This calculation is not meant to portray a GAAP summary of collateral but rather a summary of collateral as it resides legally within the Guarantor Subsidiaries, Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, and Co-Issuers of the Senior Secured Notes.

(1)

Net Receivables Value equals 85% of the finance receivables (including accrued interest and capitalized loan costs) minus debt (exclusive of Senior Secured Notes) collateralized by finance receivables (including accrued interest) plus cash equivalents securing such debt. The Senior Secured Notes are excluded from this calculation.

(2)

Net Inventory Value equals 85% of the book value of inventory pledged as collateral minus debt obligations (including accrued interest) secured by inventory. The Senior Secured Notes are excluded from this calculation.

(3)

Cash equivalents equal cash and equivalents pledged directly to secure the Senior Secured Notes.

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to us, see Note 12—Recent Accounting Pronouncements to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

We lease the majority of our dealership and reconditioning facilities under operating leases. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Operating Leases” for more information.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation generally results in higher interest rates on our borrowings, which could decrease the profitability of our existing portfolio to the extent we have variable rate debt and could decrease profitability of our future originations if we are not able to pass the increase on to our customers. We seek to limit the risk of increasing borrowing costs:

 

   

through our portfolio term financings, which allowed us to fix a portion of our borrowing costs and generally match the term of the underlying finance receivables, and

 

   

by increasing the interest rate charged for loans originated at our dealerships (if allowed under applicable law) while maintaining affordability of the customers’ payment.

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.

Non-GAAP Discussion

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which we refer to as the non-GAAP financial measures, are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

We present non-GAAP financial measures because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our operating performance. All of the adjustments made in our calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures are adjustments to items that management does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. Management considers our core operating performance to be that which can be affected by our managers in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations during that period.

However, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized measurements under GAAP, when analyzing our operating performance investors should use these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income, operating income, or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these non-GAAP financial measures supplementally.

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before income tax expense, total interest expense (secured and unsecured) and depreciation expense. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus store closing costs, a legal settlement, non-cash compensation expense, and Nevada sales tax liability.

In evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments described above. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by expenses that are unusual, non-routine, or non-recurring. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that it does reflect:

 

   

cash expenditures for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

   

changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital requirements;

 

   

interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;

 

   

the cost or cash required to replace assets that are being depreciated or amortized; and

 

   

the impact on our reported results of earnings or charges resulting from items accounted for in the GAAP measure from which EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is derived.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes to our market risk since December 31, 2010. For information on our exposure to market risk, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on June 24, 2011, as well as our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
