Updated Guidance for 2013
Dealertrack updated its 2013 annual guidance as follows to reflect its strong second quarter performance and increasing revenue growth trends: Revenue for the year is expected to be between $464 million and $468 million, an increase from prior guidance of between $453 million and $462 million.
GAAP net income for the year is expected to be between $10 million and $12 million, compared to prior guidance of between $9.5 million and $12.5 million. Diluted GAAP net income per share for the year is expected to be between $0.22 and $0.27, compared to prior guidance of between $0.21 and $0.28 per share.
“Customers are increasingly embracing our vision of transforming automotive retail through integrated technology solutions,” said Mark F. O’Neil, chairman and chief executive officer of Dealertrack Technologies.
“During the second quarter, we saw accelerating organic subscription revenue growth. We also saw strong trends in transaction revenue independent of healthy car sales and credit trends, as we increased average transaction price per car sold through growing adoption and cross selling of registration, titling and lien services. We are optimistic that these positive trends will continue through the end of the year, as reflected in the increase of our full year guidance, and believe they position us for sustainable growth in the years ahead."
