在各方面銷售的強勁帶動下，汽車零售商AutoNation八月份新車銷量達到30,582輛，同比增長32%。在同店基礎上，新車銷量增長26%，至29,221輛。今年的勞動節周末歸屬于八月份，而去年勞動節周末出現在九月份。

　　國產品牌銷量增長34%，至9,308輛。這部分銷量來自于銷售Ford和Chrysler等汽車的特許經銷店。

 

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

 

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

 

　　八月份美國汽車銷量增長17%，至150萬輛。這是自2007年5月以來的最高銷量。經季節性調整，銷量達到1610萬輛。這是自2007年11月以來首次跨越1600萬大關。

 

　　強勁的銷售得益于美國宏觀經濟的持續復蘇和車輛老化更新。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到了經濟衰退以來的最高值。在美國和日本的六大制造商中，有4家八月份銷量增長在20%以上。

 

　　總部設在佛羅里達州Fort Lauderdale的AutoNation是美國最大的經銷商集團。在15個州的主要大城市中，它擁有并經營33個品牌的大約267家新車特許經銷店。

 

　　在今年第二季度，AutoNation經營盈利破紀錄。每股盈利增長10.6%，至73美分，但比Zacks的預估少1美分。去年同期每股盈利66美分。

 

　　AutoNation收入增長13.4%，至44.3億美元，高出Zacks的43.5億美元的預期。收入增長得益于所有業務部門的優異表現，特別是二手車和金融保險業務。該公司國產品牌方面是本季度的收入冠軍。

　　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.

　　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.

　　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.
