Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our primary sources of operating cash flows are collections from contracts-in-transit and customers following the sale of vehicles and proceeds from vehicle floorplan payable-trade. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are repayments of vehicle floorplan payable-trade, personnel related expenditures, and payments related to taxes and leased properties.

2009 compared to 2008

Net cash provided by operating activities during 2009, as compared to 2008, was impacted by a decrease in cash provided by changes in working capital.

2008 compared to 2007

Net cash provided by operating activities during 2008 was affected by a change in the classification of borrowings from a floorplan lender in connection with the sale of a majority stake in General Motors Acceptance Corporation (“GMAC”) by General Motors (“GM”), which was GM’s wholly-owned captive finance subsidiary prior to this transaction. As a result of this sale, which occurred on November 30, 2006, we have classified new borrowings from GMAC subsequent to this transaction as vehicle floorplan non-trade, with related changes reflected as financing cash flows. Accordingly, net floorplan borrowings from GMAC subsequent to this transaction are reflected as cash provided by financing activities, while repayments in 2007 of amounts due to GMAC prior to this transaction (totaling $305.8 million during 2007) are reflected as cash used by operating activities. During 2008, all borrowings and repayments related to GMAC were reflected as financing activities, since the repayment of amounts due to GMAC prior to this transaction were completed during 2007. After considering the effect of this reclassification, net cash provided by operating activities during 2008, as compared to 2007, was impacted by an increase in cash provided by changes in working capital, partially offset by a reduction in earnings.

reclassification was a $130.4 million reduction in tax payments during 2007, as compared to 2006. A portion of this reduction pertains to estimated federal tax payments totaling approximately $100 million that we made in 2006, related to estimated taxes for the third and fourth quarter of 2005, payment for which had been deferred as allowed for filers affected by hurricanes in 2005. The reduction in cash provided by operating activities also reflects lower earnings in 2007, as compared to 2006. Additionally, cash provided by operating activities was favorably impacted in 2006 by a $34.5 million adjustment to net income to reflect tender premium and other financing costs related to our April 2006 debt tender offer as a financing activity.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Cash provided by operating activities was $299.1 million, $579.8 million and $562.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
Cash flows from operating activities include net income adjusted for non-cash items and the effects of changes in working capital including changes in vehicle floorplan payable-trade (vehicle floorplan payables with the automotive manufacturers’ captive finance subsidiary for the related franchise), which directly relates to changes in new vehicle inventory for those franchises. On November 30, 2006, General Motors (“GM”) completed the sale of a majority stake in General Motors Acceptance Corporation (“GMAC”), which was GM’s wholly-owned captive finance subsidiary prior to this transaction. GMAC will remain the exclusive provider of GM-sponsored auto finance programs and is expected to continue to provide GM dealers and their customers with the same financial products and services under the same arrangements with us as before the sale. However, as a result of this sale, we have treated new vehicles financed after the change in GMAC ownership control (totaling $139.3 million at December 31, 2006) as vehicle floorplan-non-trade with related changes as financing cash flows. Vehicles financed by GMAC prior to this transaction (totaling $281.2 million at December 31, 2006) continue to be classified as floorplan-trade with related changes as operating cash flows.
 
During 2007, as we sell the vehicles financed by GMAC, the repayment of the $281.2 million classified as floorplan-trade at December 31, 2006 will be reflected as a use of cash flows from operating activities. Vehicle purchases financed through GMAC in 2007 will be classified as floorplan-non-trade and reflected as sources of cash flows from financing activities. Payments to GMAC for purchases classified as floorplan-non-trade will be reflected as uses of cash flows from financing activities.
 
In 2006, we made estimated state tax and federal tax payments totaling $278.3 million, including approximately $100 million related to provisions for the third and fourth quarter of 2005, payment for which had been deferred as allowed for filers impacted by hurricanes in 2004. In March 2003, we entered into a settlement agreement with the IRS with respect to the tax treatment of certain transactions we entered into in 1997 and 1999. In 2004, we prepaid the remaining balance due related to the IRS settlement totaling $128.9 million, including accrued interest. Cash used in discontinued operations was $4.5 million, $3.3 million and $23.4 million during 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. A portion of the cash used in 2006, 2005 and 2004 relates to payments made in conjunction with property leases assumed from ANC Rental.

     Cash Flows from Operating Activities

      Cash provided by operating activities was $441.8 million, $365.8 million and $627.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

      Cash flows from operating activities include net income adjusted for non-cash items and the effects of changes in working capital including changes in vehicle floorplan payable, which directly relates to changes in new vehicle inventory. Additionally, we paid portions of the IRS settlement totaling $128.9 million and $366.0 million during 2004 and 2003, respectively, representing the entire balance of the amount due under the settlement.

      During 2004, we reclassified certain amounts in the 2003 and 2002 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from investing activities to operating activities, including certain items related to our former loan underwriting business, as a result of recent guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In December 2001, we decided to exit the business of underwriting retail automobile loans for customers at our stores, which we determined was not a part of our core automotive retail business. In July 2003, we sold all of our finance receivables portfolio for proceeds totaling $52.4 million, resulting in no gain or loss on the transaction. Collections of installment loans receivable and other items related to the wind-down of this business totaled $27.0 million and $86.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
