AutoNation Reportedly Eyes Driving Seat at Inchcape UK Sky News has learned that AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE:AN), which has a market capitalisation of nearly $7 billion (£5.5 billion), is among the suitors circling the business since Inchcape plc (LSE:INCH) confirmed in January it was conducting a strategic review. AutoNation is said to be at the early stages of considering an offer and may yet not decide to proceed with one, according to industry sources. If it does go ahead, it would represent a first step into the UK for AutoNation after it withdrew six months ago from a bidding war for Pendragon, another London-listed car dealer. A deal could be worth in the region of £350 million, insiders said. AutoNation failed to respond to several emailed and telephoned requests for comment. The Inchcape UK division consists of 70 sites, employing 3,700 people, and works with car manufacturers including Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Toyota and Volkswagen. New Risk • Mar 30
New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 19% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (19% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Declared Dividend • Mar 07
