Carbone Auto Group Joins Lithia to Expand in Northeast
(firmenpresse) - MEDFORD, OR -- (Marketwired) -- 09/13/16 -- Lithia Motors, Inc. (NYSE: LAD) has acquired the assets of the Carbone Auto Group, a nine store platform based in New York and Vermont. Carbone is estimated to generate over $600 million in annual revenue through a strong exclusive market strategy. After optimizing the current franchises and operations, the group will consist of 13 stores: two stores each of Honda, Subaru and Ford and one store each of Toyota, Chevrolet, GMC Buick Cadillac, Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, Nissan, Hyundai and BMW. Carbone is estimated to provide approximately $0.20 to $0.25 in earnings per share in 2017.
The addition of the Carbone Auto Group provides a foundation from which Lithia plans to expand its exclusive market strategy throughout the Northeast. Combined with DCH Auto Group's metropolitan market strategy, this further expands our growth potential across the United States.
