The automotive retailing industry is sensitive to changing economic conditions and various other factors. Our business and results of operations are substantially dependent on new vehicle sales levels in the United States and in our particular geographic markets and the level of gross profit margins that we can achieve on our sales of new vehicles, all of which are very difficult to predict.
Our new vehicle sales are impacted by the consumer incentive and marketing programs of vehicle manufacturers.
Adverse weather events can disrupt our business.
We are subject to restrictions imposed by, and significant influence from, vehicle manufacturers that may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects, including our ability to acquire additional stores.
We are subject to numerous legal and administrative proceedings, which, if the outcomes are adverse to us, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and prospects.
Our operations, including, without limitation, our sales of finance, insurance and vehicle protection products, are subject to extensive governmental laws, regulation and scrutiny. If we are found to be in violation of any of these laws or regulations, or if new laws or regulations are enacted that adversely affect our operations, our business, operating results and prospects could suffer.
Our ability to grow our business may be limited by our ability to acquire automotive stores on favorable terms or at all.
We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our vehicle floorplan payable, revolving credit facility and mortgage facility that could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
Our revolving credit facility and the indenture relating to our senior unsecured notes contain certain restrictions on our ability to conduct our business.
