在各方面銷售的強(qiáng)勁帶動(dòng)下，汽車零售商AutoNation八月份新車銷量達(dá)到30,582輛，同比增長(zhǎng)32%。在同店基礎(chǔ)上，新車銷量增長(zhǎng)26%，至29,221輛。今年的勞動(dòng)節(jié)周末歸屬于八月份，而去年勞動(dòng)節(jié)周末出現(xiàn)在九月份。

　　國(guó)產(chǎn)品牌銷量增長(zhǎng)34%，至9,308輛。這部分銷量來自于銷售Ford和Chrysler等汽車的特許經(jīng)銷店。

 

　　進(jìn)口品牌銷量增長(zhǎng)29%，至16,173輛。這部分銷量來自于銷售Toyota和Honda等汽車的特許經(jīng)銷店。

 

　　豪華品牌銷量增長(zhǎng)37%，至5,101輛。這部分銷量來自于銷售Mercedes Benz、BMW和Lexus等汽車的特許經(jīng)銷店。

 

　　八月份美國(guó)汽車銷量增長(zhǎng)17%，至150萬輛。這是自2007年5月以來的最高銷量。經(jīng)季節(jié)性調(diào)整，銷量達(dá)到1610萬輛。這是自2007年11月以來首次跨越1600萬大關(guān)。

 

　　強(qiáng)勁的銷售得益于美國(guó)宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)的持續(xù)復(fù)蘇和車輛老化更新。八月份成為了汽車制造商們歡飲鼓舞的一月。許多大制造商的銷量都達(dá)到了經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退以來的最高值。在美國(guó)和日本的六大制造商中，有4家八月份銷量增長(zhǎng)在20%以上。

 

　　總部設(shè)在佛羅里達(dá)州Fort Lauderdale的AutoNation是美國(guó)最大的經(jīng)銷商集團(tuán)。在15個(gè)州的主要大城市中，它擁有并經(jīng)營(yíng)33個(gè)品牌的大約267家新車特許經(jīng)銷店。

 

　　在今年第二季度，AutoNation經(jīng)營(yíng)盈利破紀(jì)錄。每股盈利增長(zhǎng)10.6%，至73美分，但比Zacks的預(yù)估少1美分。去年同期每股盈利66美分。

 

　　AutoNation收入增長(zhǎng)13.4%，至44.3億美元，高出Zacks的43.5億美元的預(yù)期。收入增長(zhǎng)得益于所有業(yè)務(wù)部門的優(yōu)異表現(xiàn)，特別是二手車和金融保險(xiǎn)業(yè)務(wù)。該公司國(guó)產(chǎn)品牌方面是本季度的收入冠軍。

 

中國(guó)汽車流通協(xié)會(huì)國(guó)際合作部主要負(fù)責(zé)協(xié)會(huì)對(duì)外聯(lián)絡(luò)工作，收集、整理國(guó)外行業(yè)資訊、行業(yè)動(dòng)態(tài)，組織會(huì)員開展國(guó)際合作與交流活動(dòng)。每年我們都組織多次國(guó)際汽車市場(chǎng)考察活動(dòng)。國(guó)際合作部主任葉菁女士誠(chéng)摯地歡迎您參加國(guó)際交流、深化國(guó)際視野！

 

 

　　Automotive retailer AutoNation Inc.’s (AN) retail new vehicle sales increased 32% year-over-year to 30,582 units in August, driven by strong sales in all segments. On same-store basis, retail new vehicle sales increased 26% to 29,221 units. The Labor Day holiday weekend was included in August this year as against its inclusion in September in 2012.

 

　　Sales in the Domestic segment increased 34% to 9,308 vehicles. The segment comprises retail automotive franchises that sell vehicles manufactured by Ford Motor Co. (F), Chrysler and others.

 

　　Sales in the Import segment escalated 29% to 16,173 vehicles. The segment covers retail automotive franchises that sell vehicles manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation. (TM), Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (HMC) and others.

　　Auto sales in the U.S. grew 17% to 1.5 million units in August, which is the highest since May 2007. Sales rose to 16.1 million vehicles on a seasonally adjusted rate basis, crossing the 16 million mark for the first time since Nov 2007.

 

　　The strong sales were attributed to the ongoing macroeconomic recovery and aging vehicles in the U.S. August turned out to be a favorable month for automakers, with many large manufacturers recording their highest August sales since the recession. Among the six major automakers (in the U.S. and Japan), four recorded more than 20% volume gain in August.

 

　　Based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., AutoNation is the largest automotive retailer in the U.S. The company owns and operates about 267 new vehicle franchises that sell 33 brands located in the major metropolitan markets across 15 states.

 

　　AutoNation reported all-time record earnings from operations in the second quarter of 2013. The company posted a 10.6% rise in earnings per share to 73 cents in the second quarter from 66 cents in the same quarter of 2012. However, earnings per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny.

 

　　Revenues increased 13.4% to $4.43 billion, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.35 billion. The revenue growth was attributable to strong performance in all business sectors along with higher revenues from retailed used vehicle and Finance and Insurance businesses. The company’s Domestic segment was the biggest gainer in the quarter.
