BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI, February 13, 2014 – Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE:PAG), an
international transportation services company, announced today the highest fourth quarter and full
year 2013 income from continuing operations and related earnings per share in company history. For
the fourth quarter, income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders increased
19.3% to $61.7 million and related earnings per share increased 19.3% to $0.68 per share when
compared to the same period last year.

Total revenue increased 15.0% to $3.9 billion. The revenue increase was driven by an 11.4% increase in total retail unit sales, including a 9.8% increase on a same-store basis. Gross profit improved 14.2% to $586.4 million while operating income increased 15.9% to $106.7 million.

“Our business produced another outstanding quarter, completing the most successful year in the history of our company,” said Chairman Roger Penske. During the fourth quarter, same-store retail revenue increased 12.4%, with each area of our automotive dealership business posting solid year-over-year growth. Further, we continued to demonstrate expense leverage as the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross profit improved by 40 basis points. Going forward, with a strong balance sheet and a positive outlook across our automotive dealership, car rental and commercial vehicle businesses, we remain confident in our ability to continue growing our business.”
