Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2005 Financial Results

Full-Year 2005 Diluted EPS Increases 22%; 13% from Continuing Operations

Achieves Industry-Leading Same-Store Revenue and Gross Profit Growth for the Year

New York, NY, February 24, 2006 – Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: ABG), one of the largest automotive retail and service companies in the U.S., today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.

Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter rose 3 percent to $14.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, from $14.0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the corresponding period last year. Results for the fourth quarter of 2005 include an additional one-time benefit related to the Company’s regional reorganization, which increased after-tax income by $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. Excluding this item, fourth quarter earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.37 versus the analysts’ consensus estimate of $0.32. Including discontinued operations (which contributed after-tax income of $6.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, as a result of gains on the sale of certain of our dealerships in Oregon), reported net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $20.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared with $12.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, a year ago.

For the full year, income from continuing operations was $59.9 million, or $1.82 per diluted share, up 14 percent from $52.6 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, in 2004. Excluding expense and benefit items related to the Company’s regional reorganization, income from continuing operations increased 15 percent to $60.4 million, or $1.84 per diluted share. Net income for 2005 was up 22 percent to $61.1 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, compared to $50.1 million, or $1.53 per share, a year ago.

Other financial highlights for the fourth quarter of 2005, as compared to the prior year period, included:

• Total revenue for the quarter was approximately $1.3 billion, up 3 percent. Total gross profit was $206.9 million, also up 3 percent.

• Same-store retail revenue and gross profit (excluding fleet and wholesale) were both up 1 percent.

• New vehicle retail revenue increased 3 percent (flat same-store), and unit sales increased 1 percent (down 2 percent same-store). New vehicle retail gross profit decreased 4 percent (down 6 percent same-store).

• Used vehicle retail revenue increased 7 percent (3 percent same-store), and unit sales increased 2 percent (down 3 percent same-store). Used vehicle retail gross profit increased 12 percent (7 percent same-store).

• Parts, service and collision repair revenue increased 8 percent (6 percent same-store), and gross profit increased 6 percent (4 percent same-store).

• Net finance and insurance (F&I) revenue increased 3 percent (flat same-store). F&I per vehicle retailed (PVR) increased 2 percent to $929 while dealership generated F&I PVR was up 2 percent to $902.

• Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, as a percentage of gross profit, were 77.2 percent for the quarter, compared with 79.0 percent a year ago. Excluding rent and the effect of our regional reorganization, SG&A expenses, as a percentage of gross profit, were 73.0 percent, compared to 73.2 percent for the prior year period.

• Excluding results in Florida, which were up significantly in the fourth quarter of 2004 due to a rebound in that region following several hurricanes in the third quarter of 2004, same-store retail revenue and gross profit (excluding fleet and wholesale) were up 4 percent and 3 percent, respectively.

• For the full year, same-store retail revenue and gross profit increased 8 percent and 7 percent, respectively. Same-store gross profit for the year was up 3 percent in new vehicles; up 14 percent in used vehicles; up 8 percent in parts, service and collision repair; and up 9 percent in finance and insurance. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, as a percentage of gross profit, were 78.0 percent, compared with 78.9 percent a year ago. Excluding rent and the expense and benefit items related to the Company’s regional reorganization, SG&A expenses, as a percentage of gross profit, were 72.2 percent as compared to 73.9 percent in 2004.

President and CEO Kenneth B. Gilman said, “We are pleased to report earnings for the quarter from continuing operations, excluding items related to our regional reorganization, well above the consensus estimate, despite a challenging retail environment. We believe we meaningfully outperformed the industry. For example, our 2 percent decline in same-store new vehicle unit sales for the quarter was significantly less than the industry’s 7 percent decline. Excluding Florida, our same-store new unit sales were actually up 1 percent, as we continue to benefit from our brand mix, which emphasizes mid-line import and luxury brands.

“Used vehicles and fixed operations again turned in solid performances for the quarter, with same-store gross profit increases of 7 percent and 4 percent, respectively. For the full year, those businesses were even stronger, with respective increases of 14 percent and 8 percent in same-store gross profit. By investing strategically in training, technology and – where appropriate – additional capacity, we are systematically improving our performance in these key profit centers.”

J. Gordon Smith, Senior Vice President and CFO, said, “Our adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $1.84 excludes one-time items associated with our regional reorganization. If you adjust our most recent guidance to exclude these one-time items, our EPS guidance adjusts to a

range of $1.79 to $1.85. So we are very pleased to be at the top end of the range. We made solid progress during 2005 on the expense front. Excluding rent expense and expense and benefit items related to the Company’s regional reorganization, as a percentage of gross profit, SG&A expenses were down 160 basis points compared to the prior year. We expect further improvement in 2006 as we realize the continued benefits of our regional reorganization program.”

Mr. Smith continued, “During the fourth quarter, we completed all but one transaction related to the sale of our remaining dealerships in Oregon, which is planned to close shortly. These sales are part of our ongoing program of optimizing Asbury’s portfolio of dealerships through strategic acquisitions and divestitures. Asset sales related to Oregon during the quarter generated approximately $27 million in after-tax cash proceeds, with an additional $33 million anticipated in the first half of 2006.”

Commenting on initial earnings guidance for 2006, the Company expects that a reasonable estimate range would be between $1.85 and $1.90 from continuing operations, before considering the impact of stock-based compensation, which we estimate will total $0.10 on an EPS basis. The guidance assumes the Fed Funds Rate will increase to 5 percent by May. This increase, coupled with last year’s increases, will have a $0.15 EPS impact on 2006 earnings. In addition, a fix-to-float swap will be expiring in March and will have a $0.08 negative impact on 2006 EPS.

Mr. Gilman concluded, “Asbury’s solid results in 2005 are a testament to the flexibility and diverse growth opportunities inherent in our balanced retail and services business model. To a significant extent, the year’s results were driven by our own ability to continue executing against our organic growth initiatives. The product we’re selling is not unique, so our success is ultimately determined by how well we execute. With prudent expense management as well, Asbury clearly has the potential to meaningfully grow earnings and build shareholder value in 2006 and beyond.”

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(In thousands, except vehicle data)

(Unaudited)

The Company evaluates finance and insurance gross profit performance on a per-vehicle retailed (“PVR”) basis by dividing total finance and insurance gross profit by the number of retail vehicles sold. During 2003, the Company renegotiated a contract with a third party finance and insurance product provider, which resulted in the recognition of income in 2005 and 2004 that was not attributable to retail vehicles sold during 2005 and 2004. The Company believes that dealership generated finance and insurance PVR, which excludes the additional revenue derived from contracts negotiated by the corporate office, provides a more accurate measure of the Company’s finance and insurance operating performance. The following table reconciles finance and insurance gross profit to dealership generated finance and insurance gross profit, and provides the necessary components to calculate dealership generated finance and insurance gross profit PVR.

The Company’s operating income was largely impacted by reorganization costs incurred and a one-time reorganization benefit realized during 2005 and incremental rent expense associated with a sale-leaseback transaction that was entered into in the third quarter of 2004. The Company believes that excluding the reorganization costs and rent expense from the selling, general and administrative expenses provides a more meaningful basis to measure the results of the Company’s operations compared to that of the prior year period. A reconciliation of the Company’s adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses is presented below.

The Company defines income from continuing operations as net income less discontinued operations, net of tax. We believe that excluding certain items from income from continuing operations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, provides a more meaningful basis to measure the results of our operations. A reconciliation of our net income to adjusted income from continuing operations is presented below.
